I had been looking and bidding for my first home for around 5 years, and growing increasingly despondent by Canberra's house prices. It was a long-held dream to own my own little place, with a beautiful interior and garden that felt like paradise. I've been saving for that dream for two decades of my adult life, and made daily sacrifices to save my nest egg. When I viewed the property that I can now call my home, Kris understood the emotional investment and rollercoaster that it represented. Interest in the property was high, pre-auction offers were coming in - and making me doubt myself. I returned to every inspection, brought friends and family. I adored the townhouse inside and out. Kris could see my emotional connection with the property, but also understood and helped me manage the rollercoaster ride of the bidding process and rules and requirements involved, especially pre-auction. There's so much you don't know when you're a first-time buyer, no matter how much you read or research about the process. Kris advocated for my bid to the seller based on how much I loved the home and would take care of it (not because I was the highest bidder), which was something I'd never expected an agent to do. When he called to tell me my pre-auction offer had been accepted and the property was going to be mine, I was very emotional, and told him he'd just changed my life, in the space of a phone call. He understood instantly - it's Kris' reason for being in the business: to facilitate moments like these in people's lives. A whole new chapter begins for me now that I own my own home and space. Kris is an agent driven by values and integrity, not making a buck. I'd recommend Kris without reservation to anyone seeking to buy a property with support, expert guidance and understanding from the agent through the process.
