Burmester was able to pull through with their promise of selling our house in what was considerably a very hard market at the wrong time of the year to sell. Communication was a strong point both prior to selling, whilst listed and even after the sale had gone through. I was thoroughly impressed. Even now after selling we still feel supported with transitioning from being the seller to now becoming a buyer again in a new area.
Kelly has been amazing to work with! She has great understanding of the local market and exceeded expectations given the time pressure we were under toward the end of our listing period. I would highly recommend her to buy or sell through!
I found myself in a difficult position, and having to make decisions that I wasn't quite prepared to make, in a short time frame. Kelly went the extra mile for me working within the limitations we had. I had many, many questions and Kelly was prepared with patience and knowledge to answer as many as she could immediately, and come back to me with those she couldn't at the time. Her guidance was invaluable in securing a new home for me inside a stressful situation.
Selena Skinner is an incredible real estate agent. We've just bought our first home and she has been amazing throughout the entire process. Whenever we had any questions or requests, she helped straight away, she was super approachable, friendly and transparent. She went out of her way to make sure the process was simple and trandparent for us. She is also personable and super friendly, which is always great to deal with. If you are buying/selling a home, know you'll be in excellent hands. Thanks Selena! You helped make a stressful and full on process easy.
Selena was absolutely amazing from the moment we made the decision to sell our home. She was always incredibly prompt in responding to every email, call and text, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Her gentle nature, positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire process so much easier. She was a breath of fresh air throughout what can often be a stressful experience, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through it. We are so grateful for all of her hard work, dedication and support. We couldn't recommend Selena highly enough!
We had a problem come up with the house but Kelly had a contact and it was quickly resolved. Kelly had a strong knowledge of the market price and my very first open home I had two offers which I was excited about. One of them was the final buyer who brought my house. Thank you Kelly for all the work you did to sell my house and no wonder your expertise is number one in your line of work.
We can’t thank Stella Harwood enough for the support and guidance she gave us throughout our first-home buying journey. Stella was friendly, approachable and genuinely made an effort to ensure we felt supported throughout the process. What we especially appreciated was her willingness to connect us with trusted contacts who were able to help and guide us through the different steps of buying our first home. Those connections made such a difference and helped make the whole process feel much more manageable. We are now incredibly proud first-home owners and couldn’t be happier to have reached this milestone. We’re so excited to start this new chapter and make many special memories with our children in our new home. Thank you, Stella, for taking the time to work with us and for helping make becoming first-home buyers possible. We truly appreciate everything you did for us! ❤️🏡
Nicky was the first choice for the selling agent due to her local knowledge and being in the Harcourts group ,also my preferred RealEstate company.A win win all round.It is unusual to find an agent that not only works in the interests of the seller but also the buyers feel at ease with as well.No high pressure selling here could be the reason.She managed to get a higher price after the first deal fell through as well as the buyers happy with a fair purchase price.She took a calm approach in the sale process and I feel achieved the best possible price in this difficult market.I have no hesitation in recommending her
Kara was incredible to deal with throughout the sale process, her strength in communication was exceptional, we are forever greatful to have Kara on our team with pure dedication to get the job done, very well executed, with the best outcome we could have asked for in such a short timeframe.
