Knowledgeable and hard-working agent

Our experience with Sam who recently sold our property in the Bayside area was exemplary. He has vast experience in the industry and is very knowledgeable of trends in the property market, particularly in the Bayside region of Melbourne. He was able to clearly articulate all our potential options and gave us sound advice in developing a preferred strategy to sell our home. Sam also regularly kept us up to date with progress once our property was on the market and all our dealings with him were extremely positive. I would recommend Sam to anybody looking to sell their home and will definitely contact him in the future for any further real estate support.

I first met Costa 4 years before the sale of our house for an appraisal. We decided not to sell at the time and he respectfully kept in contact as per our wishes and updated us on the market - and he was our first choice as our agent for sale. Even though we lived in a different state and he was prompt, thorough and made sure we had enough time to complete all documentation - even managing to settle in a record 14 days! His detailed backdated timeline from when I first called to set up the sales process was what made it a streamline sales campaign. Thank you!!

Costa did a great job of marketing and selling our Balaclava townhouse. After the townhouse was passed in at auction, Costa achieved the sale within a couple of days and kept us informed throughout the selling process. I would gladly recommend Costa as a trustworthy and hard working agent.

From my first meeting with Sam I was impressed with his preparation, his knowledge of local real estate and his positive approach. He and his team led a very successful and professional campaign for our house sale. He kept in touch all the way through and gave practical advice and support. I am very grateful to Sam and his team who achieved a great result for us. Our house sold in 6 days.

From the start of our dealings with John he always made sure we were happy and that we understood the selling procedure. John's advice on the day of the Auction was spot on and as such achieved a great result. We are so glad we selected John to sell our property and would highly recommend him to prospective sellers. Thanks again John :-)

Costa's high enthusiasm and energy to get a great result in selling my property was , surprisingly, eclipsed by his even stronger work ethic. He worked damn hard in his thorough communication with and assistance to all possible purchasers, while also keeping me totally updated along the way. I would totally recommend him to any vendor seeking an agent that will work very hard to get the best possible result for you.

Julian’s client centred approach was most appreciated as was his ability to listen to any concerns I had. He kept me fully up to date throughout the sales process. Most importantly, his engaged attitude and proactive approach resulted in the sale of my property in good time and at a good price. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Julian was always available and went above and beyond in the sale of our apartment (even opening for private inspections on public holidays)! Would definitely use again.

Sam helped us with the sale of our deco apartment in St Kilda. He was a really good communicator and not afraid to tell us what we needed to hear, particularly as the campaign went beyond the auction and into a private sale situation. Really couldn't fault him at all, lots of passion - he clearly loves his job and is probably the best agent to deal with in St Kilda area.
