John made the purchase of my property a smooth and joyful experience. Very knowledgeable in all aspects. Kept me informed every step of the way. I felt like I was dealing with a friend more than an 'agent' through the whole process. Highly recommend. Thanks John.

John made our journey buying our new home seamless. He communicated everything well and was great from inspection to settlement. John is easy to talk to and we highly recommend him and the Blackwood Valley team.

Outstanding service!

Outstanding service!

Selling my Mum's house was a very emotionally charged process for our family... Luckily we had Zara to guide us through with kindness, understanding and professionalism. She went above and beyond to ensure a smooth progression, from the first call to settlement day. Zara's attention to detail, excellent communication skills and knowledge made the whole experience easy and care-free. I absolutely, 100% recommend Zara Hart to anyone wanting to buy or sell their house. She is a superstar!

A deeply disappointing experience that taught us to get everything in writing

A deeply disappointing experience that taught us to get everything in writing

Our experience purchasing a rural property through John Pitman was extremely disappointing. The property was advertised as a home where we could enjoy the rural lifestyle “from day one”. At our first inspection, we specifically asked John whether the home had full Shire approval and were reassured that it did. When making our offer, we discussed structural, electrical and termite inspections and left believing these would form part of the process. Before going unconditional, I text John asking when the structural inspection would be organised. John phoned and told me these things weren't organised until we went unconditional. We relied on that advice. Once unconditional, we asked again and were then told we hadn't requested a structural inspection, it wasn't in our contract. Two weeks before settlement, our settlement agent raised concerns about the Shire approval. After repeatedly requesting documentation, we discovered the building was approved only as a STORAGE SHED. We ultimately had to engage a property lawyer to negotiate a resolution with the seller. Another troubling issue involved title insurance. At the meeting where we signed our offer, we recall John offering this insurance and I signed a physical document. When the Shire approval issue arose, we asked John about it and he denied knowledge of it. We then realised a copy of the document had not been included with the paperwork emailed to us. Finally, at our Wednesday pre-settlement inspection, I specifically told John we HAD to move Friday. John reassured me we could. John then messaged AFTER settlement to tell us the seller was remaining until Saturday. When questioned, his response was essentially, “Sorry mate, nothing I can do for you.” That was the last we heard from him. Our biggest lesson from this experience: GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Independently verify everything, ensure anything you rely upon is explicitly included in the contract and never rely solely on verbal assurances.
