Exceptional service and result

Jay Carroll provided exceptional service during our recent home sale. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication greatly contributed to the success of the sale. Throughout the process, Jay demonstrated a deep understanding of the market, exceeding our expectations. We were consistently impressed by Jay’s clear communication and prompt responsiveness. He kept us informed at every stage and addressed inquiries efficiently. His transparent communication style gave us confidence throughout the sale campaign. Having worked with Jay before, we’ll gladly do so again and recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and trustworthy real estate professional.

Unorganised, unmotivated and inexperienced negotiator

We unfortunately had a very unsatisfactory experience with Kate recently. She was absolutely fabulous until we signed the contract. She was scattered with her communication and dropped the ball multiple times throughout our campaign. We ended up with a satisfactory price so we were purely dissatisfied with her sales and communication skills. She didn’t organise the free window clean that was offered before photos. She refused to do mid week opens after week 2 and didn’t open on weekends as soon as an unconditional offer came through. She pushed us to take the first offer and it was only after we declined the two offers from that buyer that we got another $25k from that buyer and not negotiation skills from Kate herself. In the 7 week campaign we only received 2 sales reports which are supposed to be sent weekly. Both these reports came days late and had to be requested. It felt like she was working for the buyer. She often ignored our direction or feedback. Her sales strategy chopped and changed dozens of times. She would ask for a price drop and then the next day say we need to keep it as is. In the end we had 4 interested parties wanting to put in offers from the first 2 weeks of inspections but they were never followed up so they didn’t have an opportunity to put in an offer until it was too late. Very frustrating experience. Spend your money elsewhere. We are currently going through a different agent for our family home sale and our experience has been nothing but pleasant so far.

Exceeded all expectations

We used Barry Plant for selling our house as it was Jay Carroll who was the agent who sold us the house a number of years earlier and had made the purchase a good and fair experience. Jay was excellent from start to finish and made everything about the house sale an easy and stress free experience. Jay also got us a price which far exceeding our own estimates! If selling a property in the Ringwood area, Jay Carroll should be the no. 1 choice.

My experience with Tamazin Edwards from Barry Plant Heathmont.

I can highly recommend Tamazin as a very experienced and professional Agent. She is friendly and always willing to help in any way she can. Tamazin always kept me up to date and was responsible for selling my home in 2 weeks at an excellent price.

Fantastic experience!!

We had a fantastic experience with Kate. From our first meeting, she made us feel at ease and was able to answer our many questions as first time sellers. Kate provided us with a clear plan and was very organised which meant selling was an easy process. Kate is highly recommended and was a pleasure to deal with!

Wonderful!! - right from the onset Kate was able to make selling our home a very enjoyable time.

Kate, was exceptional at providing us with all the detail we needed to feel comfortable and on track during our selling process. Her market knowledge and feedback was spot on and with the final result being above expectations we are so thankful we had Kate to running the show.
