We couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent to sell our home. From start to finish, Sonya was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. Her communication was outstanding, she kept us informed every step of the way, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We are so grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

From the initial communication with Phillipa we were made to feel comfortable in her knowledge of the property we were viewing and there was never an issue with asking her questions to which she answered to our satisfaction.
Shannon helped make this process smooth and easy, from the very beginning she guided us with confidence and professionalism, during what was a challenging time for my family, she made us feel supported every step of the way. Her communication was outstanding. She kept us informed throughout the entire process, ensuring everything progressed smoothly and on time for all parties involved. She was always available to answer our questions, no matter how big or small, and if she didn't have the answer immediately, she went out of her way to find it quickly. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Shannon's warm and genuine nature really stood out. She took the time to engage with both myself and my young family, making us feel comfortable, valued, and at ease during what can be a nerve-racking and emotional experience. Her positive attitude, patience, and reassuring approach gave us confidence that we were in the best possible hands. I always felt that she genuinely cared about our family's future, not just the sale itself, and that personal touch made a big difference. I thoroughly enjoyed having Shannon as the Agent for this property and helping us achieve a successful new start to our lives. I would recommend Shannon without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. She is honest, trustworthy, hardworking, and passionate about what she does. I truly thank Shannon for her support, kindness, and dedication throughout our journey. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience so much easier, and I will always be grateful. It was an absolute pleasure working with her.
Good commuication throughout. Honest opinion on pricing and what needed to be done to the property.
Awesome to communicate with and very quick to respond and clear about what is going on and what to expect.

Phillipa made buying our son’s first home an easy, quick and completely stress‑free experience. From the very first meeting, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping him feel confident throughout the process. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she always took the time to explain each step so he knew exactly what to expect. Her market knowledge was evident in the way she guided him through the property and answered every question with honesty and clarity. She was responsive, organised, and made what could have been an overwhelming milestone feel smooth and manageable. As parents, it meant a lot to see our son supported so well during such an important moment in his life. Phillipa’s professionalism, kindness, and approachable nature truly set her apart. We are extremely grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Buying a house in my home town while living overseas has been very overwhelming. I was lucky enough to have Sonya Joyce from First National Real Estate, Stratford on my side. She made the whole process flawless. She completely accommodated my time zone diffirences, always responding to late night, early morning messages without delay. She was my absolute lifeline. Sonya kept me fully informed about every development, was always friendly, professionable and very knowledgeable about the local market. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a property. Thankyou Sonya
