When it came time to start thinking about putting our mother’s house on the market as she was now in permanent care we went to Blackshaw Real Estate with our questions about the whole process. They introduced us to Michael Braddon straight away, and he listened to our situation with empathy and compassion. Heoutlined the whole process of when to put the property up for sale, the commission costs depending on sale price and gave us contacts to hire a solicitor too. Michael answered all of our questions, before, during and after the sale of our mother’s property. He checked-in with us, guided us in getting the property sale ready and presentable, provided us with contact details for a building inspector, and kept us fully informed on what needed to happen to help us meet selling deadlines. With Michael’s guidance we elected to go to auction and had three open houses in November 2020. Michael rang us after each open house and let us know of the interested parties and answered any questions we had. The a week before auction an offer came in and he rang to advise us. It was a great offer and we discussed it with him and then we decided to accept the offer. The contract of sale was done that day, and the settlement date set. During the settlement time Michael touched base with us so we were all on the same page to confirm building reports and the plumbing certification. Then as the settlement date approached and the banks confirmed they were ready to settle, Michael was there again with the professionalism and empathy we needed supporting us as the house went to the new owners. We were so pleased with Michael Braddon’s work, the team and all they did to keep us fully informed, walk us through the process and the way they celebrated the success of the house sale with us too. It was a true pleasure to work with such a professional, friendly and well informed real estate agent in one of the most important sales of our lives. Highly recommended.

Michael provided expert market knowledge to guide the sale of my unit. He was able to secure an excellent price - the highest sale price for a unit in the complex in the past ten years. He communicated frequently with me, updating me every step of the way so I had a good understanding of the interest in my property. His professionalism is second to none. I would highly recommend Michael as a sales agent.

Michael's knowledge and communication was excellent. I really appreciated the constant update for each Open Home and other queries. Found him extremely professional - I am so impressed and would definately recommend Michael in selling any property. Just want to say thank you so much - you have really made this process so easy for me as a Vendor - especially that I had tennants in the property whilst the property was on the market.

Michael conducted himself very professionally and courteously. Michael was very knowledgeable with the area, the marketing of my property and the price range I could expect. He was able to achieve a great result. His staff were also very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to sell a property in the Canberra region.

Michael is highly reliable, professional, honest and holds excellent knowledge. He was always punctual and provided us with open guidance and advice. We appreciate all of his work and time throughout all hours of the day to achieve a successful sale! He called us after every open home and throughout the week with updates. His team also had excellent communication and kept us up to date throughout the process. We cant fault our experience of selling our home thanks to Michael, and highly recommend him.

Thom was a fantastic agent from start to finish. He was professional, organised, open and realistic about price all the way to auction day. Thom was so responsive before and after I purchased and continued to check in right up to settlement. When the bank was slow he continued to help make it happen. As a buyer I’ve not encountered an agent this wonderful. If I ever sell (which I doubt, it’s a beautiful home) I’ll be giving Thom a call. Thanks a million Thom!

Dealing with Blackshaws Gungahlin, and with Thom in particular, has made the sale of my home simple and straightforward. Thom is a great listener and has the ability to translate client ideas into contractual realities. He was in addition prompt, never missed a meeting or a deadline with great follow-up and client contact. He also achieved great results in a timely manner. I never felt in the slightest pressured and the sale achieved all that I could have hoped for. Thoroughly recommended.
