As before, Mark went out of his way to present the apartment beautifully: organising painters and styling. He went back for private openings (even after having just been there) and stayed in Sydney the long weekend so could open. There were tough circumstances making a sale hard but he still did it within the campaign. Thanks Mark! Until next time...

David was excellent in communicating with us - in sharing what was happening in the market to regular updates after each viewing - and finally making the sale in under 2 weeks!!

David was recommended to us by a friend who had dealt with him for a number of years. At our first meeting, using his extensive local knowledge he presented a four week marketing plan culminating in an auction if our unit did not sell beforehand. Within a week he had arranged a handyman for some minor repairs, a professional photographer, who's photos led to the production of a brilliant brochure, listed our unit on 2 Internet sites and arranged our first open house. During the open house one of the potential buyers requested a second visit 3 days later. At that showing, a second buyer appeared and David initiated a bidding war which culminated in a successful sale very close to our expected top price. By the end of the day contracts had been issued and signed and the initial deposit received. David had conducted a very professional and successful sales campaign and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to another property seller.

Mark was outstanding as the appointed agent in the sale of my apartment - patient, informative and supportive as we negotiated through renovations, probate issues and repairs. Mark showed great market knowledge and communicated well with everyone throughout the process, to ensure that we had a great result in the end. I can't recommend Mark Wallis enough!

It's been over 30 years since we last sold a property and so the rules and conditions have changed radically since then. Stewart was professional and friendly right through the process providing accurate, timely and succinct advice making our decisions straightforward. I'm sure his negotiations with the buyer also helped in their decision-making.

Excellent market knowledge, advised on how to present the unit, arranged contractors to undertake the work within a short time period, developed and implemented an excellent sales and negotiation strategy.

From the moment we first engaged Hamish and the Aurora team, we knew we found the right partner to manage the sale of our property. Even prior to officially signing on with Aurora, Hamish had our best interests in mind. He toured our property and, contrary to our original thinking, suggested there was actually no need a fresh paint job on the entire property, and all that was required was some spot cleaning on some high traffic areas. Hamish's eagle eyes also spotted a very minute chip on the kitchen bench and suggested it can be easily fixed. Hamish reached out to his contacts (from property stylists, painter and even the kitchen bench specialist) and whilst we received quotes from his contacts, there was absolutely no pressure to use those contacts. For this property, we had compared quotes but used our existing property stylists and painter. Hamish was in regular contact throughout the sales process, to ensure the timing of the property becoming vacant, styled, photographed etc went smoothly ahead of the openings. Following the property's initial opening on a Saturday morning, we were promptly provided with some initial feedback on unique groups and how many Hamish felt may be keen on the property. Fortunately for us, we had a serious buyer would requested a follow up private inspection with Hamish later that afternoon. Hamish kept us updated throughout that afternoon (and well into the Saturday evening) on the status of the buyer. Again, with our interests in mind, Hamish managed a few competing bidders in the following days, and eventually helped us find a buyer for our property. We promptly took the property off the market, ahead of its second potential opening the following Wednesday. We are pleased that Aurora led a successful sales campaign for us. Hamish and the team was able to handle the entire sales process with utmost professionalism and ethics. We will look to engage the team again for our next sale.

I broke my leg the day first advert came out! Disaster! Not at all. Stewart stepped up and handled everything for me with great good nature, market knowledge in abundance, and professionalism. The sale was completed within a week and the seller, buyer, tenant, conveyancer and Stewart himself are all very satisfied with the result. Lack of stress all round quite remarkable !

We have had the opportunity to use Aurora Property and David Buttel twice this year when selling properties and our experience has been exceptional on both occasions. David and the team just know the market inside out, they know what works and what the vendor needs to do to sell property. David is an astute operator, at all times we were kept up to date and we were delighted with the final result. If you are thinking of selling, in my opinion, there is no one better to represent you.
David Buttel
I strongly recommend David as a real estate agent. He guided us through every step of the process with clear communication, professionalism, and genuine care, achieving an excellent result.

Selling our place through David was seamless, efficient and extremely professional. Highly recommend him as an agent and would use him again.

David sold me the unit over 10 years ago and when I engaged him to sell it for me this time his service was just as professional as it was when we first met. Would highly recommend David without hesitation!
