Twelve days from engagement to SOLD !

Twelve days from engagement to SOLD !

David sold us this apartment in 2007, so we knew him from his early years into real estate & the area. He was enthusiastic, honest, and supportive of what we needed; not just focussed on the sale. We eventually shifted the property to a rental and Award Group handled the property management with the same approach and professionalism. When it came time to decide if we should sell in the current market, David and Lachlan dropped over and took us through the process, explained the value of a strong marketing plan, the benefits of designer furniture to really make property shine. It's a nice 2 bedroom apartment, but I can't call it overly special. It is clear to say to say that although I was expecting excellent service, what we experienced was quite simply spectacular. From 1 to 12 days; we signed to engage Award Group, David engaged as we organised the contract of sale, organised a quote and liaised with a furniture designer to layout the unit, the online ads were created and it had a first showing 9 days after engagement. With the marketing and the presentation - we had 15 groups through on the first day, and private viewings on the following Monday - all for a modern, however "simple" unit. David updated me across the day as he fielded offers and handled the bulk of decisions within our instructions to the moment Lachlan dropped over to our home to sign the contract of sale on Monday night. One Saturday & One business day - SOLD - for an excellent price within Davids price guide, and much more than I actually expected would be offered. David & Lachlan engaged with our conveyancer, the buyers conveyancer and the buyers lender to get it done - they stayed very involved at each step. Pleasingly, after 20 years in the business David simply hasn't changed; enthusiastic, honest, and supportive. If you want to sell your home and it's in Award Groups area, reach out to David - take his advice on marketing & layout, sit back and relax - you're in good hands.

All bases covered.

David knows his stuff...and we already knew this going into the process of selling with him, after using the Award Group to purchase two other properties. There was not one moment in which we doubted David's advice or strategies. We would have no hesitation in recommending his team in partnering with other sellers.

Perfect campaign and post sale service

Perfect campaign and post sale service

David's pre contract pitch was impressive and thankfully the commitment, customer service, knowledge and outcome were spot on during sales campaign and post sale ...and possibly exceeded my high expectations. All other Real Estates we met mentioned possibility our commercial property would not sell in this tough post COVID climate, but David was confident of a quick sale and was subsequently sold in one week. Would highly recommend David Johnson and Award Group and will call on them for any future leasing / sales in future.

Sale of my little pad

Sale of my little pad

I chose David and the team at Award because he was the most engaged and knowledgeable about sales in the Ryde area. I can only say that he was a pleasure to work with from the beginning consultation stages to the final sale. His advice was invaluable and the whole process was stress free as a result of his knowledge, professionalism and expertise in his field. I exceeded my sale price expectation and I can't thank you enough!

Honest and down to earth service

Honest and down to earth service

We recently sold a unique 3 bedroom villa property in West Ryde and David Johnson was our real estate agent. We couldnt be happier with the service we received from David - he was very honest with us from the outset regarding expectations around the sale and the uncertainty of the sale price given that 3 bedroom villas of house-like proportions seldom come on the market. He kept us well informed with regular updates around open house numbers and interest shown. When it came to the actual auction, the procedures were all clearly explained and David genuinely seemed as blown away as we were by the final sale price. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend David and Award Real Estate to anyone considering selling a property.

Record Apartment Price for Epping
over 5 years ago
Record Apartment Price for Epping

Award Group (Mary) were already known to us as they had been managing our Meadowbank flat rental for decades - always making sure it was rented and in good condition by organising cost effective repairs where necessary. When we had to sell my mothers flat in Epping, we turned to them and were put in touch with Leighton. We went with him over other Epping agents as he said he would project manage all the renovations needed to aim for a top price in an uncertain market, which we did not have the time to organise, and which other agents would not do. Leighton knew exactly what was needed to appeal to the local buyers. We only had one (packed) open house with multiple offers put in the following Monday before we got a record Epping price - our 70’s renovated flat outperformed new 2 bed builds. Leighton always kept us informed, kept things moving, negotiated hard and yet ensured all parties felt in a win win position. We are so happy with the price we got and the outcome and recommend Leighton and Award group unreservedly.

We bought this property from David six years ago and we chose him as our selling agent. He is professional, always available and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. David helped to achieve a price that went beyond our expectation. We highly recommend David and Award Group to anyone.

Professional, knowledgable, efficient and friendly

David and Leighton did a brilliant job selling our apartment, getting a great result after only one Saturday open. We chose Award Group after seeing they had sold many similar properties in our area, and that market knowledge proved extremely valuable. David provided an accurate appraisal of what our property was worth, and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend Award Group!

Excellent agent, fantastic results

I would highly recommend Leighton if anyone wants to sell their property. We sold our unit in this difficult market in 2 weeks. And the price is what we expected. The communication process was easy, Leighton touched base with us almost everyday and gave us feedbacks from the potential buyers. Leighton is also always available no matter when, either before 8am or after 5pm, he strives to create the best results. Leave it to them and you are in good hands
