Jenny was endlessly patient and such a great listener. We had some vigorous discussions but she was always professional, clear in sharing information and exceptional at answering my many questions. Her reports after the open homes were informative, timely and always positive. She is a master of organisation and kept track of all the many strands of this process. I didn't have to do a thing......it was all very confidently and capably organised by Jenny. Stress free..... Open homes were very well attended and my home was always in good hands. And she found buyers who were qualified to purchase and keen and kept them informed, updated and answered all their queries in consultation with me. On auction day Jenny was incisive and very proactive. She acted on all the scenarios we had discussed prior to auction and achieved the perfect result for me. To be honest, the process of selling my house was very challenging, but Jenny retained her calm, her sense of humour and her very personal and open communication to the fall of the hammer. Well done Jenny - you were amazing and I will be forever grateful for your intelligence and above all your kindness and courtesy. Kia Kaha Virginia

It was such a pleasure dealing with Jenny Virtue. The support Jenny gave us throughout the process of selling our home, was everything. From the beginning, nothing was too hard. Jenny always went the extra mile, checking in with us regularly and keeping us informed all the way. Jenny is also very easy to deal with, builds great relationships with clients and always make you feel at ease. Her marketing skills and real estate knowledge is top notch who provided us guidance when we needed it.. All of these attributes Jenny has, is why we achieved the best outcome we could have asked for. Thankyou very much Jenny Catherine and Jemell

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
