Shire Realty exceeded our expectations

When we wanted to sell our Arcadia property, we contacted several Real Estate Agents. Shire Realty was a standout from our first meeting with Aaron Godfrey. We felt confident that the entire process would be handled well by Shire. This turned out to be correct, and, our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. We were given a fair and honest valuation that turned out to be correct and we were delighted with the outcome. Aaron was very attentive to all of our needs and requests and was punctual for all appointments which was appreciated. He was able to identify the genuine buyers from the time-wasters. We had a sale after only 8 weeks that went without a hitch. There are several other properties near us listed with other agents that have been on the market for months. If you want the best in the business go no further than Shire Realty. Aaron and Shire Realty are a standout in our opinion and we could not be happier.

Honest, transparent and proactive

I have known Luke since 2015 when I bought this property from him. We were looking for agents who are honest, transparent and proactive, and Luke and Sam exceeded every expectation. They accompanied us through the entire journey, providing support long before the property hit the market. They secured the right buyer within just three weeks! They are dedicated professionals who truly put their clients first. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them. I highly recommend Luke and Sam!
