I did a lot of research and met with many agents and I chose Alex because of the results he constantly achieves, he knows the market, how best to present your home, is an excellent negotiator, he has an amazing support team, and he communicates regularly with you during the whole process

As a buyer, Anthony acted very professionally through the process with clear communication, a pragmatic approach to the market conditions and very efficient post settlement services.

After looking for a year to purchase a family home, we finally did and the experience could not have been easier with Christian. After dealing with many other agents (and some horrible experiences), no one is more genuine and honest the way Christian was. We are beyond happy with our purchase and that we were able to purchase our family home from Christian.

We decided to list our 2 bed apartment in Double Bay with Sean after an extensive interview process that included proposals from 5 different agents. We put these agents through a pretty extensive grilling, and in fairness there are some fantastic agents in the eastern suburbs, but ultimately we were convinced that Sean was the right agent for our particular property and circumstance. After selling at auction in September in 2018, with 7 registered bidders - we know we were absolutely right! We feel that Sean has a couple of distinct advantages over other agents servicing Double Bay: - he has so much experience selling our type of property that he knew exactly what buyers would be drawn to in our property, what we should be expecting in terms of feedback, and ultimately pricing expectations - being so active in our market and buyer segment, Sean already seemed to know 75% of the buyers that entered our open home each showing. Either because he brought them through our front door by contacting them directly, or because he met them at his other open homes - Sean knows how to develop rapport with buyers. He is highly individualized, confident and thorough with all his dealings. As a vendor, we were confident that Sean was sound in his dealings with all prospective buyers. - Sean's marketing strategy was spot on, combined with his expensive buyer database, which lead to well over 100 unique inspections over the course of the campaign. Naturally, as a vendor this gave us confidence that we had reached the largest number of prospective buyers as possible. We have no hesitation in recommending Sean and his team at PPD. If you have a home in Double Bay, do yourself a favour and invite him over for a conversation! We are so glad that we did!

Anthony and his team were absolutely stunning. Anthony knows his business and was excellent in all our dealings. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending him or working with him again. Thank you - we thoroughly enjoyed your professional and personal approach and style, cheers Fred

We first worked with Kenji while buying a property from him in Oct of 2017. And while we were not the clients, we felt that he took the utmost care and respect to treat us as though we were, and make sure that while he got the best price for his clients at the time, he nevertheless helped us immensely along the way in giving us confidence in making decisions that we were comfortable with. His style is not at all a 'salesy' or pushy style, but rather one of openness and working together with all groups to find a middle ground that suits all parties. So when we contemplated whether to sell the property in question for this review, it was without a moments hesitation that we picked up the phone to work with Kenji. It was a sale with a number of obstacles on top of the already falling market prices, and we were pleasantly surprised that he was able to help us attain the result that we ended up with in the end. He created a mountain of opportunities throughout the sale period, and managed our concerns, questions and confidence perfectly, and in the most timely manner anyone could hope for. Selling and buying properties is a very emotional process and can be stressful and difficult, but we actually really enjoyed the experience and were made to feel completely in control, yet fully supported in all the big decisions. We would without a doubt work with Kenji again.

Charlie was fantastic right from our first contact years before the sale of our property. He kept me updated over a long period without being over zealous, which is ultimately why we chose him. He was extremely professional throughout the campaign and communicated thoroughly all the information we needed. I would highly recommend Charlie and PPD for the sale of your property.

I’ve now bought from had sold thru PPDRE and Anthony as an agent to negotiate a purchase with was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Recommended.

The best thing about the team is their availability & extremely prompt response times whenever we contacted them. All three of the team were very pleasant and professional via phone and email. When we began marketing Debbie only had two listings so there was good focus on our property. Despite us hoping for early offers & a quick sale, our property sold after about 8 weeks. As the time-on-market wore on, we felt Debbie & Nick lost interest, perhaps because they had numerous new & exciting listings. If a property isn’t appraised realistically and pitched at the right level in this market to begin with, it is difficult to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion around auction date. Debbie appraised our place at 2.3-2.6 million. I was surprised to learn she had on display at the house a comparable sale brochure priced well below that. Interested purchasers were around (repeat inspections, contracts taken), though we received no offers until week 7, and ended up selling for 1.9 million. I think by the end the agents just wanted to wrap up a sale so their days-on-market didn’t blow out, and we weren’t convinced their negotiation skills were utilised to the extent we had hoped. Due to us being out of town, unfortunately it emerged later that the ‘care factor’ fell away at some points (eg. feedback about the front of the house/garage and light fittings being cleaned, which was in the scope of all the items we’d paid for. I am not a clean-freak, but was upset when I did visit the house about a few things the agents had let slide. This was after we had paid tens of thousands of dollars for improvements & cleaning and had been assured by Debbie that the place was sparkling). Debbie sometimes just emailed ‘can we drop the asking price?’ rather than 'these are suggestions for marketing/approach to bring more parties through the house’. We had to push for information frequently, and may have preferred an agency strong with digital marketing/videos/social boosts.

Anthony worked tirelessly to ensure this property was fit for sale and sold at the best possible price. Anthony and his team are incredibly polite, efficient and easy to work with. They ensure that no stone is left unturned due to their diligence and hard work. It has been a pleasure working with Anthony and his team.

Anthony did an excellent job in negotiating the sale of 13 Regent. Price expectation was clearly enunciated and the outcome was a fair result for both parties. Anthony was consistent in communication and kept us up to date at all times. In a tough environment, Anthony was positive, engaging and committed to his role as agent.

I would definitely recommend Sean Poche to anyone wishing to sell a property. In a cooling market, he managed to achieve a sale price above the reserve. I was very impressed by all aspects of Sean's activities throughout the campaign, including leading up to and during the auction. He was always available to talk about points of concern, returned phone calls promptly, kept us right up to date with the latest developments, provided all the right advice, and generally managed everything in a way which could hardly be bettered. His knowledge of the Eastern Suburbs real estate market is spot on, and he managed to find just the right buyer for our property, at just the right time. Well done to Sean and his team!
