Above and beyond

Gillian went above and beyond to help us as we navigated purchasing our first home... even driving critical documents to our door when my husband came down with food poisoning. She was an effective communicator and liaison between parties and facilitated extra inspections when needed. We appreciated her warmth, initiative and professionalism.

Great assistance from Debbie when we were buying our property.

Great assistance from Debbie when we were buying our property.

We had only one day remaining on a house hunting trip to Canberra last summer when the home we later bought at auction appeared on the Blackshaw website. It turned out that Debbie had barely taken delivery of the keys when I called to request an inspection. As Debbie was very busy her assistant Julie kindly stepped in that day and showed us the home . Both ladies were incredibly helpful both before and after our auction purchase. We love our new home and thoroughly recommend engaging Debbie to sell your home as she will work very hard to let every potential buyer view and fully discuss all the features of your home. As a buyer I found her completely honest and down-to-earth with her market knowledge. Thanks very much Debbie and Julie. Five stars from us.

Outstanding Operator

Christine is an outstanding operator. She is conscientious, attentive and she knows her business so well. Her wealth of knowledge and professionalism enabled us to secure our sale quickly and achieve a result better than we could have thought. Christine works to understand and get to know her clients and it is very important to her that she always gives her best. She is a true professional and it has been a pleasure to work with her.

Christine’s knowledge of the Canberra real estate market was exceptional and this was evident

Christine was wonderful, she made the entire process easy and comfortable. Her experience and knowledge ensured that we were given the correct advise to make an informed decision. Walked us through the whole process step by step and provided regular progress reports. Communication was excellent not only did she provide information and advice but also ensuring we totally understood what was said. Extremely happy with Christine’s performance on the sale of our home and would recommend her to everyone we know.

Professional, knowledgeable and capable.

This is the second time that Gillian has sold a property for us. We specifically appointed her again because of her total professionalism and ability to maximise our property price through her analysis of the market, advice, attention to detail and then her reading of the potential buyers.

Canberra's best agent

Canberra's best agent

Debbie has now sold two of our properties, plus those of family members and friends. Debbie takes the pain out of selling your home, secures exceptional prices, and does all this with an understated courtesy and professionalism. Her judgement is spot on, her advice impeccable. No overstatement, no unrealistic expectations, just the real deal packed in integrity and a naturally warm person. I cannot recommend Debbie too highly, and we continue to refer our friends to Debbie as the best agent you will find in Canberra.

Comfortable experience

Comfortable experience

As buyers, our experience with Gillian was limited. However, Gillian was prompt in providing us with a draft of the contract to be used at the auction and courteous in showing us around the open house. Gillian was very professional at the auction in ensuring that the paperwork was all administered correctly and in introducing us to the vendors. Gillian followed up by liaising with both seller's and buyer's solicitors to ensure that our desire for an early settlement was achieved. In summary, Gillian was a pleasure to deal with and made the whole experience much more comfortable than it might otherwise have been.

Mario is very well experienced and always called us to inspect the right home for our family. He knew what suits and what doesn’t, also very honest and very friendly to talk to. Hassan and I are very grateful to Mario for helping us find this amazing new home and we can’t wait to move to. I would highly recommend him 😊

Excellent and approachable real estate agent from both a buyer and sellers perspective

Excellent and approachable real estate agent from both a buyer and sellers perspective

We initially bought a property where Mario was the agent and found him knowledgable and pleasant to deal with. Given our experience we decided to continue to work with Mario when we sold our old property. Mario and Kalen were able to identify potential buyers and ran the campaign without us needing to do a great deal. They held multiple open homes and private inspections. This culminated in an expertly run auction with a great result.

We should before officially going on the market. The Private viewings and follow-ups were sufficient to attract an offer at the right price. Mario's knowledge of potential buyers at the time was critical in this approach.
