Andrew went over and above what any real estate agent should have to do to help me sell my home at a time when I was in great distress. I am located in WA so everything was done over the phone and knowing that Andrew and his team were there for me was a great source of comfort for me. About 10 years ago someone I trust recommended Andrew to me and I made sure I remembered that when the time came. I was certainly not disappointed and in fact I was delighted! Thank you Andrew, Philly and Sam, you guys are the absolute BEST! I would never use anyone else. I cannot recommend them too highly.

Being a first home buyer it was really important for me to know I was dealing with a trusted agent who understood my circumstances and didn't push me beyond my comfort zone. Right from the start Phyllis was really accommodating with my requests to view the property multiple times (to allow my family to visit from interstate), answer any questions or concerns I had, and accommodate my needs to extend the settlement period so that I could have a stress free settlement process. I felt very comfortable being up front about my budget with Phyllis and I appreciated that she didn't pressure me into stretching this prior to auction day or on the auction day itself (contrary to the experiences I had with other agents). She takes care of both buyers and sellers. I would highly recommend Phyllis to anyone and would work with her again.

Our search for an Estate Agent followed about 18 months of attending most open homes inspections and auctions in Aranda. About a year before our planned sale we contacted Andrew Lonsdale to discuss selling our Aranda property and would he accept us as a client. Our decision to contact Andrew was based on our experiences during the previous 15-18 months. That meeting led to a smooth and comprehensive selling process that was more enjoyable than stressful. From day one Andrew acted confidently and professionally, took careful note of our requirements and responded to them as well as keeping us fully informed during the selling period. From our initial meeting, through the preparations for the marketing photos, during the open home inspection phase, the day of the auction and the post-auction negotiations and finally leading up to settlement, Andrew’s attention to detail including keeping us up to date on whatever was happening was above our expectation and engendered a confidence in us that was overwhelmingly reassuring. Andrew is not flash, pushy, a ‘fast talker’ or in your face. Andrew is positive, optimistic, thorough, pro-active, genuine, realistic, honest, up to date, flexible, knowledgeable, has his finger on the pulse of the market and those in the market, empathetic, always well presented, calm, gentlemanly, approachable and above all a person you would like to be friends with. We are sure we made the right decision in selecting Andrew as our Agent and we can confidently recommend him to anyone contemplating selling a property in Canberra. Irene and Paul Scholtens May 2019

Mark was very professional in all dealings I had with him, no nonsense and an effective negotiator.

Putting our townhouse on the market earlier this year we found Phyllis to be a highly engaged professional agent as well as a skilled communicator who was both friendly and knowledgeable. In fact her knowledge of the Cook area and potential buyers helped to sell the property off market very quickly, allowing us to achieve our desired price and save on associated marketing costs. We highly recommend Phyllis as a sales agent and would certainly consider using her services again.

Phyllis has excellent knowledge of the Cook market. Post exchange Phyllis went out of her way in regards to her service. On the day of settlement she arranged to met us out the house to give us the keys as we had just returned from holidays. I would highly recommend her.

Dedicated and hardworking agent. Recommended!

I was most grateful to have Mark’s support in selling my house at a time of slowing markets. I liked the way he went about appraising my house initially comparing strengths and weaknesses with similar properties. The marketing campaign built interest through regular mid week and weekend open house inspections and even though there were no bidders at auction, the house sold within 10 days and Mark played a crucial role in working to achieve an acceptable price from a couple of bidders. Throughout the whole process he kept me appraised of progress with regular and timely feedback which helped me get a feel for the current state of the market for my property and thus what might be achievable within a realistic time frame. He was a pleasure to work with and a very nice and trust worthy person. I always felt I had his full attention even though he was engaged in selling other properties. He was also ably supported by Ali Sutton, his new assistant, whom he kept in the loop so that there was always some one to answer queries at once!

I have had some challenging experiences with Real Estate agents in the past (like we all have) so I was quite defensive when purchasing a property and dealing with agents. Most agents will tell you anything to make sure they get a sale. I found Mark and his team resilant and remained professional. They understood my situation and genuninely worked with the sellers to achieve the best results for both parties.

We were selling a house in a declining market ... week by week, as we approached the auction, we saw prices falling and properties not reaching their reserve price. Andy was worried but not daunted. Every house has niggling problems and niggling problems need trades people.. but where do you get trades people ? No Problem, Andy knows the tradespeople who return his phone calls and get the job done when there is dead line. Auction Day is scary. Only one registered bidder... for Andy that is enough.. he worked the price up so EVERY ONE was Happy. Hurray for Andy

Treston knows the Canberra market really well and talked me through the process. He kept in touch every step of the way and was never too busy to answer my (many) questions. I would happily recommend him and would engage him again.
