Nick and his team, including Maddy (PA extraordinaire) and Will (auctioneer with supernatural skills) were exceptional to deal with through the sale of my rental property. From the outset of the marketing campaign, through to the auction, and well past settlement date, the communication from Nick and his team was flawless. I was always made to feel as if I was his only client - nothing was too much trouble, he took my phone calls (or returned them) outside of business hours and weekends and never made me feel as if I was anything but his first priority. Whenever there was a change to marketing, Maddy had her finger on the pulse the entire time, and easily stepped into Nick's salesperson role when required. They were always reviewing marketing strategies and advertising to get the best possible exposure and it resulted in the desired outcome. On the day of auction, Will stepped up to the plate to squeeze every last drop out of the buyers and achieve the best possible price - I certainly felt like the whole team were working in my best interests as the vendor throughout. The house was tenanted, and Nick dealt with the tenants professionally and within the limits of the tenancy laws. Every aspect of this sale was exceptional, and I would not hesitate in engaging Team Nick when I come to sell further real estate.
Her outstanding market knowledge and honest approach gave me confidence in the whole process. I was kept informed and involved at all times with regular communication and prompt feedback on open homes. Megan’s guidance and expert advice on preparing the property for sale was invaluable and led to a quick sale that was seamless and stress free. Thank you Megan for your kindness, sincerity and professionalism.

As my title suggests, when you put your most valuable possession in an agents hands you want to feel everything is handled ethically. You don’t want to feel misled, harassed, pressured or not important. Nick always provided timely feedback, market conditions in real time, answered my questions so that I truely understood every step of the process. Nick always allowed me to give feedback based on perhaps more feelings than fact without judgement. For me the process to sell was long and at times unsettling, but all good things come to those who wait and in my case those who trust their agent! I have no hesitation in recommending Nick, he will be my go to should I need his services in the future. We had many laughs along the way so hand on heart if you want all round agent you don’t need to go further than the name Nick Badger. Said with all the respect he deserves.
Shared personal & similar experiences.
Jude is very warm, approachable and positive. She is excellent at communicating and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Jude dealt with every concern in a prompt and positive manner, which was very reassuring. With Jude’s vast experience of the real estate market, she achieved a sale of our home in a very short timeframe which we required. Thanks Jude
Jude was a delight to deal with in my purchase of a property she had on the market. From first enquiry to going unconditional on the property, she had everything covered. Answered my questions, remedied concerns I had so I could go into the purchase in full confidence. Thank you Jude!
Sally used her contacts to ensure we had good market information and this helped to set a realistic price
We have had three Real Estate dealings with Kelly and have had positive outcomes. Once with buying and two with selling. We found Kelly and his team very professional with regard to all aspects of the Real Estate business. Our latest dealings involved another team member Joseph Goddard--- Joseph and Kelly worked well together. More than happy with the interactions we had with Joseph and Kelly-- the end result was a quick sale three days after the listing became live.
