Buying a home is by far the most stressful experience of your life. Just the prospect of packing up your home of 42 years is daunting enough, running the gauntlet of money-lenders, solicitors and estate agents is downright frightening. What you need is good people around you, people who know the job inside-out, are enthusiastic about your project and on whom you can rely. Christine Bassingthwaite is such a person. I have no hesitation in saying that she is highly experienced, totally trustworthy and most importantly, always looking out for her clients. You can't ask for more than that.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ahmad, and he truly exceeded my expectations. From our first interaction, it was clear that he was not just doing a job but genuinely passionate about helping his clients. His personable approach made it easy to communicate my needs and any concerns, and I felt valued throughout the entire process. What stood out most was his willingness to go above and beyond. Whether it was answering our questions promptly, providing detailed information, or guiding us through complex decisions, he was always there to lend a hand. Ahmad’s enthusiasm for his work shone through in every conversation, making what could have been a stressful experience much more enjoyable. In addition to his professionalism, his warmth and friendliness made it easy to establish a rapport. It felt as though I was working with a trusted friend rather than just an agent. I truly appreciate the dedication and effort he put into helping us successfully sell our house. I highly recommend Ahmad, he is one of a kind.

Christine recently sold our family home. Her experience and knowledge of the local market is considerable and with her good communication and easy way she eased the way through this difficult process.

Christine is exceptional. She has her finger on the pulse and has deep knowledge of the Canberra market from her years of experience. She is adept at anticipating seller and buyer’s needs and is always respectful and professional. She sold my house in Yarralumla swiftly, despite a challenging market (final quarter of 2024). Christine listened to our preferences and was skillful in explaining alternate approaches. I was nervous about going to auction but in the end I see why it was a sound mechanism to generate strong market interest in the days following,

Christine came well recommended. She worked with us while we prepared our property for sale. The sale process was smooth though there were "market headwinds"! We were very pleased with the result and would highly commend Christine for you selling agent.

Ahmad and Andrew, of Blackshaw Manuka, went above and beyond in negotiating the purchase of our apartment with the tenant. The record result came after lengthy negotiations and discussion, however the outcome was a win for all involved. A great apartment, with a fantastic water view deserved a great sales result, and that's what Ahmad and the Blackshaw team achieved. We'd highly recommend Blackshaw Manuka, as they were excellent property managers for us, as well as sales agents. AAA+++😊

Ahmad is a professional who gives 100%++ in providing strong client service and communication, along with endless drive and commitment for productive outcomes. He relates well to everyone, developing genuine rapport so that sellers and buyers feel comfortable to build a practical working relationship with him. Ahmad is immediately responsive and always follows up on what is required of him. He is most knowledgeable of the market and the buying/selling transactional process and advises accordingly. I recently sold my home through Ahmad. He ran a streamlined process, including his management of the sale negotiations with the buyer and myself, the three of us being in different countries at the time.

Ahmad was excellent to deal with. He responded promptly to our questions and was fair and transparent in all dealings. Our purchase has been smooth, in large part thanks to Ahmad’s professionalism and commitment. We would definitely recommend engaging Ahmad.
