Support, Trust, Confidence!

We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a property being sold at Auction by Christine. This was a very new experience for us, and given my husband was due to be travelling at the time of the auction, I expected that I would be quite nervous going into Auction Day without having him there to contribute and support. Christine was very transparent at the open home visits, in terms of discussing the expected price range based on the seller's expectations and her knowledge of the market. This gave us the confidence to know that we might be 'in with a chance', and to decide bid on Auction Day. Chrstine was also very helpful in letting us know what documents and signatures would be required prior to auction Day, given my husband (joint owner) would not be present on the day. Again, this helped us feel confident and prepared. Christine's communication was always timely, and she was very approachable throughout the whole process, making it very easy for us to ask her any questions (even they ones we thought may be silly). On Auction Day, Christine checked in with me periodically to ensure I was ok and calm. She was very reassuring, and a really lovely and helpful presence on the day. After the sale, Christine was very clear in ensuring we knew to get insurance organised, and knew what the next steps would be in terms of engaging with a solicitor to finalise the sale details. But she also ensured that we took time out to celebrate the purchase, take lots of photos, and meet the prevous owners! It was a very positive experience, and i would definitely recommend Christine should anyone be looking for an agent to sell their home, or looking for an agent from which to buy their home!

Gillian is Extremely Professional

My husband and I purchased a property in O'Malley through Gillian at Blackshaw's Manuka. Gillian was so pleasant, professional, obliging and helpful throughout the whole process. We had to request a cleaner for the kitchen and she organised this over the Sunday before we moved in. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending any dealings with Gillian Thorn at Blackshaw's Manuka.

A significant win in tough times

A significant win in tough times

The Blackshaw Manuka team, led by Mario Sanfrancesco, campaigned energetically and professionally to ensure we sold our family home of 40 years for a near record price in a very tough market. Mario's skill as an auctioneer was outstanding. We thank him and his team for the outcome and recommend highly his services for marketing residential properties.

A friendly, professional and helpful agent.

As soon as I saw the Blackshaw sign I knew there would be a real estate agent I could trust. After multiple house inspections I knew the real estate agent was an important factor for me in my decision to purchase a home. Luke Revet and his associate Emily were fantastic to deal with and I would highly recommend them. I appreciated the knowledge, prompt communication and friendliness in all of our meetings. Luke was warm, friendly and helpful. I felt supported in my preparations for auction and confident in its professional conduct. Buying a house is a big decision for most people both financially and in terms of a milestone event. Working with Luke Revet and Emily made this decision less daunting and more enjoyable. I appreciated their knowledge, professionalism, respect and warmth. I would highly recommend them.

Very Professional from Start to Finish

I was very impressed with Giliian's professionalism and efficiency throughout the whole process and where she achieved a very quick sale on my unit. She initiated the follow-up of various jobs that required completion before the unit could be sold which saved me a lot of time and stress, and was very thorough with following through all the steps involved in the sale along with keeping me up to date the whole way through.

Gillian and her team were very professional, very thorough and extremely supportive. Gillian has a very sound knowledge of the surrounding area and very familiar with the properties and their attributes. She understands the processes and requirements of both the vendor and the purchaser, making both feel very comfortable and at ease. Her communication was consistent, timely and supportive. I would recommend Gillian vendors. I could not have been happier with the service I received.

Christine was a pleasure to deal with throughout and achieved an excellent result. She was highly proactive and responsive, very knowledgeable and experienced and supported us at every step. Her advice about both selling and buying in Canberra has been excellent and we felt her approach to marketing our house was spot on.

Mario was courteous and helpful throughout the process. He gave good professional advice based on long experience of the market but was willing to allow me to make certain choices. In addition to the invaluable support that Kalen and Keshena provided, the team provided good access to other trades and services. I highly recommend Mario.

From the onset, Christine was great to work with over the leadup to opening and selling our home. Forever optimistic, encouraging and helpful Christine paved the way to the successful outcome of the auction. I thoroughly recommend Christine to any potential vendors.
