Highly professional with excellent market knowledge

David had carriage of 2 properties for me in Cremorne. He was recommended by a property manager who has very high standards and extensive experience. Her recommendation was well placed. David is an effective and authentic communicator. He knew the market, kept me well informed, was courteous to purchasers, had an accurate appraisal of both the time we needed to conduct the sales and the market. I recommend him unreservedly.

Testimonial for David Buttel

I found David Buttel to be of the highest calibre of sales man. David catered for all my selling needs. David's knowledge of the market was outstanding and knew at that time that a private treaty sale instead of an Auction was the right way to sell. David's expertise and professionalism and knowing of my wants and needs was what drew me to him. I would recommend David to anyone for their selling and purchasing needs.

All in all satisfied

Stewart exuded trust and diplomacy and appeared to understand the fine balance between responsibility to the vendor and assisting a potential purchaser. As a purchaser, not knowing the actual "status" of other potential buyers is a frustration when you're trying to pitch a reasonable price to secure a property pre-auction. We probably paid more than the actual value of the property but were determined to acquire it. A lucky vendor!

I have bought from and sold many properties with David Buttel and Raine and Horne Neutral Bay over more than 20 years and the agency also looks after my rental properties. Appoint David as your sales agent and you won't suddenly find yourself dealing instead with a junior person as happens elsewhere, rather you will have David's full and undivided personal attention at all times. He will help you prepare the property to present it in its best light, recommending excellent stylist assistance when necessary and personally meeting with the stylist onsite, offering his own opinions. He runs the inspections himself and gets there early to make sure everything is pristine, especially if the property is untenanted at the time. He will roll up his sleeves and sweep the grounds, clear cobwebs, and whatever else is necessary and then put his suit coat back on and look perfectly polished and professional as he warmly greets potential purchasers. I have been one of those purchasers as well as a seller, and I truly believe David manages to balance the best interests of both the vendor and the purchaser in each of his sales, achieving excellent results for the vendor, but always via totally ethical means, ending up with a very happy purchaser as well. He will be completely frank with you about your prospects and he will keep you updated on every detail and every contact. He is never smooth or oily – instead he is warm, engaging, honest and authentic. David Buttel is a shining light of personal professionalism and integrity and his agency reflects that light. Look no further – you could not possibly do better than to appoint David to sell your property. Judy Passlow Vendor, purchaser, landlord

Hamish recently sold our unit in Neutral Bay within 3 weeks of putting it on the market and got us the price we wanted. Hamish was also one step ahead and any hurdles or issues he dealt with easily and with no stress .hamish gave me great advice and reasonable expectations and communicated with me every step of the way. I would like to thank Hamish for his hard work . I have no hesitation recommending Hamish for anyone wanting a reputable hardworking person to sell your property. I hope to deal with Hamish again in the near future. Regards Jo Rye

review of David Buttel

We would have no hesitation in recommending David Buttel to sell an apartment or home. In the first instance, while buying our apartment he was friendly, not pushing but honest in carrying out negotiations. He took an interest in our renovation plans as well as pointing out the beneficial, and attractive aspects of the site. Due to unforeseen, changed circumstances we had to sell the same apartment six months later. David advised us as vendors on presentation for the sale. In following his advice, we exchanged contracts and settled in 3 weeks from first day opening it to the public.

David was a complete professional in selling our apartment. As we live overseas, we wanted the process to be as hassle free as possible. He took care of everything, knew what needed to be done, and got it done quickly. We're very pleased with the outcome. We definitely recommend David.

From the moment I met Hamish it was clear that he knew what he was doing. His knowledge of the area as well as his dedication and commitment gave me enormous comfort as I embarked on selling my elderly mothers home. This was a drawn out process from which Hamish never wavered, ultimately achieving an incredible result. The standout quality, among many, was his integrity. In a field with a sometimes dodgy reputation the quality and detail of his feedback left me with few questions to ask and his overall professionalism and empathy are first rate. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hamish to anyone, any time. The whole experience has been extremely positive.

This is the fourth property, I have sold through David. On every occasion he has exceeded my expectations in terms of honesty, ease of doing business, communication and quality of outcome. The most recent property sale has considerably exceeded my expectations (again). I have no hesitation in recommending David.

It was David's willingness to keep pushing until the very very end that really stood out. He set a high standard and did not stop until every last opportunity was explored to its full extent. I highly recommend David as an agent who really does put the effort in for his clients.

SOLD in 5 days!

Hamish was awesome! From the moment we met him we knew he would be the agent to sell our apartment. His communication skills are top notch. He is completely open and honest with both the vendor and the interested buyers. Nothing was deemed to be "secret". Everyone was on the same page. This helped achieved the final sale price and as such we were very happy. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Hamish to anyone interested in selling and further to that, if you're a buyer you know he will be equally as honest with you too. Cheers.
