Emma & Gina were fantastic to deal with. They were realistic with their appraisal and the way they went about marketing the house was top tier. Their communication throughout the process was excellent, always there to answer any questions and give updates on the sale process. After a challenging few weeks in a competitive market, the call was made to pivot in which they were open and honest about how to proceed, once we agreed on a new direction they had the home sold within a week at a satisfactory price! Once sold, they were able to assist in the purchase of my next home which was greatly appreciated. Massive thanks to the Taylor & Askew team who I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to sell their home!
Emma was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She knew exactly what I would want and that the home would be perfect for my situation. There was no bullshit, everything straight to the point and honest. Couldn’t wish for a better agent. Thanks so much Emma! You are the bees knees 🥰
Right from the start the team left me feeling totally supported despite my nervousness about the whole process I was kept fully informed throughout including marketing reports The communication and professionalism was top notch I would highly recommend using this team and will be working with them again Thank you from the bottom of my heart you made the process so much better than any other agent I have worked with It wasn’t just the big things it was the little things like bringing me coffee and getting my washing off the line Keeping me in the loop with everything that was going on even in the background The huge bonus of getting a price beyond what I ever expected has made my life so much better The deal is done and dusted stress over and I’m off on holiday!! Thanking you just doesn’t feel enough 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Cindy was extremely professional - helping me to understand the best method to sell my property and market it. Excellent communication skills all through the process keeping me informed of prospective buyers and how to meet their needs without compromising mine. I found Cindy honest and genuine - her pricing was realistic and she quickly got the property sold. A great no nonsense approach to real estate - I highly recommend her.

I’ve worked with Hayden on multiple property sales over the years, and once again he delivered a great result. His communication was excellent, keeping me informed and always available with honest, practical advice. In a challenging market with ongoing uncertainty and rising fuel prices affecting buyer confidence, Hayden’s market knowledge and strategic approach were invaluable. He generated strong interest in the property and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. Highly recommend and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Nikki gave a very confident appraisal presentation on my property helping me understand the best way to go to market. She was clear in her communication and that, along with her confidence & knowledge in Real Estate, allowed me to trust her 100%. Her professional execution made for a quick and hassle free sale. I can highly recommend Nikki to take your property to market.
We felt that Laurel really understood our situation which involved health issues. Laurel was very polite, professional and knowledgeable about the current market. She went beyond the call of duty to meet us and explain everything as the vendor had not sold a house for many years. Her communication was excellent. We definitely would recommend her.

Dan did a great job of walking me through options and listening carefully to things that were important to me personally. He always made time to ensure things were clear for me and on track. He had excellent suggestions but was not overpowering and got an excellent result for me at pace in what is usually a tough market at the mo - my experience was not tough at all and Dan has a lot to be thanked for that.
