We couldn't be happier with the service Jono provided throughout the sale of our home. Jono has excellent communication skills and always explained everything clearly, giving us honest advice on what was best for us. The process was quite stressful for us at times, but Jono was always understanding, patient and supportive, helping us get through everything calmly. The result was amazing! He helped us successfully sell our home and get everything finalised within just two weeks, which exceeded our expectations. His professionalism made the whole process seamless, and we really appreciated the genuine connection and great working relationship we built along the way. We are truly grateful for all his hard work and would happily recommend Jono to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you, Jono!
Our experience with Holly and the team was excellent. They worked tirelessly to sell our house showing a strong sense of the market, an aptitude for communicating with both us and our prospective buyers, as well as genuine desire to see us get the best result possible. I was especially impressed by their willingness to work around our family's schedule when it came to open homes and viewings. We felt listened to and informed throughout the process.
Caleb stood out because he knows how to engage with his customers both professionally and warmly. He has very good boundaries.
Kate presented a comprehensive overview of other similar properties that had sold in my area and proposed a reasonable selling price range. She suggested ideas for making the sale go smoothly, such as staging the property and obtaining a building report. She kept in touch during the process and answered questions that I had for her along the way. The property sold very quickly for considerably more than expected which I put down to her hard work on my behalf.
Reubyn is the best agent, she is so down to earth whilst being professional, super honest and trustworthy. Communication is amazing. We will use Reubyn again.
For me Franco was a standout in all respects. He was very honest in the state of the market, especially the New Brighton market. He was realistic in his initial appraisal. He was very professional to deal with. He followed up after each open home detailing feed back from all who attended. He negotiated an exceptional price for our property with the deadline sale. I would have no hesitation in recommending Franco & Cowdys.

Olly knew what was happening in the market. He encouraged me to look at properties as I had never been through buying houses before and Olly supported us to look. He was honest and very trustworthy.
Harold did an outstanding job selling 127 Bowhill Road. We had at least seven offers, and he never once pushed us to take one. Instead, he worked really hard to get a fair price that truly matched the value of the property. He was honest, patient and always kept us informed. Thank you, Harold. He is the best agent for selling and buying, and I highly recommend him!
Charlotte was my representative on Holly's team. She was competent and confident. And whilst this sale took some time, with a few upsets along the way, she remained dedicated to the task. Communication was excellent.
Great communicator and can amend sales approach to meet the various hurdles without compromise to the end goal of the best possible outcome
