A very experienced and knowledgeable professional.

Debbie Maddigan was originally referred to us with high recommendations from people we knew who had bought and sold homes through her. We found Debbie lived up to everything we had heard about her. She had a deep knowledge of real estate and in particular, our region in Canberra. Debbie provided the full range of services in selling our home, from advice on appropriate pricing, to tips on presentation, to marketing and communication strategies. She also had access to a range of tradesmen to assist us to be market ready. Debbie effectively managed the whole process for us right through to the sale. We were completely satisfied with the service Debbie and her staff provided and would have no hesitation in highly recommending Debbie and the Peter Blackshaw agency.

Throughout the stressful period of preparing our house for sale and then putting it up for auction, Marion Sanfrancesco was consistently knowledgeable, understanding and helpful. He gave us good advice and never intruded upon our privacy, and at all times was informative about the progress of the process. Mario was well qualified in his knowledge of values and sales in our area and of people who were interested in buying in the Forrest area. He conducted a refined and stylish auction. We were pleased to have him as our agent.

Outstanding market knowledge & customer service!

Outstanding market knowledge & customer service!

Christine was recommended to me by friends who's houses she had previously sold. From the onset, I found her to be highly knowledgeable of the local property market and therefore didn't hesitate to engage her. Even though I was interstate, Christine provided a clear and structured specialised strategy to effectively display and advertise my property with a quick turnaround. During the entire process her ongoing and continual updates and conversations enabled me to implicitly trust her advice and suggestions – even with Christmas fast approaching I felt as though I was receiving preferential attention and service from her. I highly recommend Christine as a passionate professional with a warm, personable and engaging style who goes far and above expectations! Thanks for an outstanding result, Christine!

Debbie can be relied on for an accurate assessment of price, largely based on a factual explanation of the suburb's sales, but also backed by years of experience and intuition. She does not overinflate expectations, does not push unnecessary advertising and the like, and explains her sales strategy in simple terms that just make sense. She gives good advice on what to do and what not to do, has contacts for everything and, when overs are made, maintains a calm manner that produces results. She is the reason we should all use real estate agents and not do these things on the cheap, or even worse, by ourselves. On top of all that, she is a very genuine person buyers and sellers warm to. We would not hesitate to recommend her!

Andrew managed the sales and marketing process very well. This was an unusual sale with numerous twists and turns. Communication was very accurate and thorough. Importantly he listened carefully to our needs and provided solutions when required. Patience and persistence produced a good result.

After faced with selling my beloved home of 20 years, I was lucky to engage Mario. We sold after 3 weeks. He has the strongest market knowledge and understanding, plus a well developed client base. Him and his team were highly professional and easy to work with! Would highly recommend. Thanks Mario!!

We appointed Mario to handle the sale of our property in Yarralumla recently and we have only good things to say about our experience. Mario is professional but very personable and shows he cares about both the sellers and buyers in his interactions. We were working to very short time frames and Mario met these without issue - he exceed our expectations in respect of the ease of process despite us not being in Canberra and having to communicate only via phone/email. He surrounds himself with a highly skilled team. Mario and his team were were very responsive, thorough and easy to work with. Sally and Sarah understood our requirements and worked with us to deliver to these. Sally was also very patient on the auction day managing the communication with us remotely. The experience that Mario has in the Canberra market shows with helpful, practical advice and he behaved in an ethical manner at all times which is contrary to some experiences we've had in the past. We would not hesitate to recommend Mario - he was a pleasure to deal with and we were able to achieve the result we wanted without fuss due to Mario's management and support throughout the sale period and a well managed auction process. Our sincere thanks go to Mario and the team for all their work.

Positive experience, 3 week campaign, sold at auction

Positive experience, 3 week campaign, sold at auction

Professional, polite, and very extensive knowledge of the area, plus a significant database of potential buyers. Good at working with buyers but not so communicative with vendor. You have to be prepared to trust him without having the details. Having said that, he got the job done and that is the ultimate goal. I appreciated his expertise and he was always very professional.
