Our experience with Shannon throughout our 1st home was nothing short of incredible! No question to small or too big to ask and if we had concerns Shannon would put them to rest ASAP and if we didn’t understand something she was always there to help explain it to us !

We cannot speak highly enough of Renee and the way she handled the sale of my mother's home. From the very beginning, Renee was incredibly professional, punctual and thorough. She took the time to explain everything clearly, keeping us informed and reassured throughout the entire process. What really stood out was her wonderful rapport with Mum. She was always caring, patient and understanding, recognising just how difficult and emotional it was for Mum to sell her home and make the move into a rest home. Renee showed genuine compassion and sensitivity, making Mum feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. She reassured Mum that she would work hard to achieve the best possible price and outcome for her, and she certainly delivered! The house was sold within just 9 days, which was a fantastic result. We are extremely grateful for Renee's professionalism, kindness and dedication. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares about her clients and goes the extra mile to achieve an excellent result. Thank you, Renee, for making what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier for Mum and our family.

Joseph and I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Leigh and the team at First National Collective Stratford for the sale of our property. Leigh was incredibly professional, transparent, and highly respectful of our strict financial boundaries and net return goals. She communicated flawlessly throughout the conditional window and ensured the entire contract transition ran seamlessly right up to a successful settlement day. If you want a sharp, dedicated real estate professional in Stratford who truly fights to protect your equity, we highly recommend Leigh and her team!

I was very pleased with the service I received throughout the sale of my property. Gemma was efficient, cheerful and professional, and kept me well informed every step of the way. She took the time to explain the process and what was happening, so I always knew what to expect. Nothing was ever a problem, and she made the whole experience straightforward and stress-free. Most importantly, I always felt respected and valued as a client. I really appreciated her positive attitude and excellent communication and would happily recommend her to others.
Shannans communication was excellent throughout the whole process from beginning to end. She navigated the negotiations between both parties with great skill and knowledge. Always keeping very professional and confident. Thanks Shannan it has been a pleasure and we would highly recommend you and your company. Tony & Lorraine

Couldn't be happier with how everything went. Thanks so much!
This was a no brainer, Shannon made the sale seamless and stress free. The communication through out was very good and professional.
