Christine was a great help in selling our property. Her forthright and friendly manner made her easy to deal with. W especially appreciated the time she took to give us feedback and encouragement during a difficult marketing period.

Ahmad showed great initiative in managing the sale of our property. He was very professional, always available and worked very hard to achieve all our sale expectations. Including organising very effective property styling. Every request we made was delivered with exceptional diligence.

Ahmed was professional, communication was excellent and he was great to work with.

As a first home buyer, there is a lot that I didn't know or understand but thankfully I had Ahmad by my side to explain everything in a very practical, objective and clear way. I have very much appreciated his patience, kindness and depth of knowledge throughout! It's made what would have been a very stressful, unknown adventure into a really exciting one as it should be and Ahmad has made sure of it. I don't hesitate in recommending him!

Gillian was diligent and methodical in communicating basic information to me and was available almost 24/7. She answered my questions patiently, but was cautious about providing any concrete advice, even at a high level. She went the extra mile to water the garden, pick up my mail and prevent the house getting dirty. I would have liked more of her expert opinion, but for the big things (like price) her approach was mostly to ask for my direction and validate it. She would narrowly discuss pros and cons when I pressed. Gillian seemed to care about buyer satisfaction a lot, even telling me “we don’t want to start a bidding war”. She didn’t message all potential buyers once I got an offer I was considering - only those she thought were still interested. This was a shame as one of the previous open home attendees brought family for a third inspection after 2 weeks of not attending open homes. Bringing family indicated good interest which may have got me a price closer to what I put in the contract when I signed on with Blackshaw. I feel like Gillian tactfully lowered my expectations so I felt compelled to accept an offer quickly. Once the property was on the market she referenced a number of things to anchor my price expectations lower (e.g. ‘it is a buyer’s market’, pointing out the competition of similar properties on the market and draw backs of the complex), and pushed to lock in buyers within days ‘so they didn’t find something else’. Whilst the latter is somewhat valid, in retrospect I think accepting within days is too quick and meant other potential buyers didn’t have sufficient time to even consider putting in offers (especially those who were not notified). I feel Gillian would be a good agent if you want to sell quickly and are quite flexible on price. If you go with her I recommend stepping back at each decision point and asking yourself ‘have all potential buyers been given the time and information they need’ and ‘is the urgency being exaggerated?’

Selling a home can be stressful, emotional, and occasionally make you question all your life choices—but thankfully, we had Ahmad on our side to steer the ship (and keep us from jumping overboard). From the get-go, Ahmad came across as confident, experienced, and clearly knew the market like the back of his hand. He wasn’t just throwing around real estate jargon to sound impressive—he genuinely knew what he was talking about (which was a refreshing change after some of the agents we’d met previously who seemed to have learned property by watching reruns of Selling Sunset). What really stood out was how engaged and honest he was. He made a point of truly understanding our situation, not just treating us like another listing. We never felt like we were in the dark—he kept us constantly updated and explained every step with clarity (and just the right amount of humour to stop us losing the plot completely). Even in a tough market, he stayed optimistic without ever sugar-coating things, and in the end, managed to secure the best possible result for us. Legend. If you're after an agent who combines knowledge, people skills, and a no-nonsense approach—with a few good laughs thrown in—then Ahmad is absolutely your guy. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Ahmad was an absolute powerhouse—bursting with energy, charm, and the kind of hustle you wish you could bottle. From the moment he took the reins, he was all in: engaging with buyers like an old friend, tackling every challenge with a grin, and proving that “too hard” simply isn’t in his vocabulary. With a deep understanding of buyer psychology and a phone that never went unanswered, Ahmad turned a property that had been gathering dust for nine months into a signed-and-sealed sale in just four weeks. Now that’s real estate agent magic!

We had a great experience recently with Ahmad. We were the buyers. Ahmad's communication was fantastic, and we felt very supported in all of our enquiries and ultimately in our decision to purchase the property. I felt Ahmad had a very realistic and relatable approach to selling the property, and we built rapport immediately. Our purchase was via an auction which was new for us, and while nerve-wracking, again we felt very supported by Ahmad and his team.

Simply put, Ahmad has been fantastic for us. We are sincerely grateful for his service. Recently, Ahmad also helped us purchase our new home. We had a great experience with this then, and because of that, we did not consider for a second talking to anyone else when it came to selling our old home. For my wife and I, selling our home was a very daunting prospect. We are both busy people, and it was stressful to think of the huge amount of time and effort needed to get our home ready for sale. Ahmad made all of this very easy and took the stress away. Ahmad organised everything we needed with regard to trades and styling so that our home was looking its absolute best. Ahmad worked to a tight schedule and delivered on everything he said he would do. In many ways he went above and beyond, even turning up late one Sunday to help with some cleaning!! With Ahmad in control, I knew we were in good hands, and I always felt confident we would be able to sell. Instead of being stressed out, I was able to relax and really enjoy the process. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ahmad to any prospective seller.

I recently worked with Lucy to sell my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. She made the entire process feel seamless. What really sets Lucy apart from other agents is her professionalism, warmth, and genuine dedication. From our first meeting, Lucy took the time to really understand my goals and concerns. She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire process—whether it was discussing pricing strategy, providing feedback after showings, or walking me through the closing steps. I never had to wonder what was happening or chase her for updates. Lucy is incredibly personable and approachable, which made it easy to trust her guidance. At the same time, she brings a deep knowledge of the market, sharp negotiation skills, and a proactive approach to getting results. I felt like she was truly invested in getting the best outcome for me. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and calm confidence made a huge difference. I knew I was in good hands, and that’s not something you find with every agent. I would 100% recommend Lucy to anyone buying or selling. She’s a true professional who goes above and beyond.
