Katie was most knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us throughout the sale of the property.

Katie was easy to communicate with, especially when there were many questions related to the sale of the property. Katie was able to give us a good market price - much better than expected as compared to other agents!!! Katie maintained her professionalism with her knowledge of the current market values and negotiation skills. Overall - a valued contact for the property market and a lovely respectable person.

Above & Beyond Every Step of the Way

We honestly can’t thank Katie enough for everything she did to help us sell Dad’s house. Selling a family home after so many years was a very bittersweet and emotional experience for all of us, but Katie made the entire process so much easier and less stressful from start to finish. She was professional, supportive, caring and incredibly hardworking every step of the way. Her communication was amazing, she always kept us informed, answered every question we had, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for our family. Katie went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful for all of her help during such a big life transition. We would highly recommend Katie and Blights Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Absolute 5-star service from a truly wonderful person. From The Adams Family

Excellent Agents at Blight

Kate and Michelle were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process of helping me purchase a property in South Australia while I was based in NSW. Buying interstate can be stressful and complicated, but they made everything smooth, clear, and manageable from start to finish. Their communication was excellent at every stage, and they always kept me updated and informed. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout the whole journey. No question was ever too small, and they went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident making decisions remotely. What really stood out was their honesty, attention to detail, and commitment to helping me secure the right property rather than just making a sale. They handled everything efficiently and made the interstate buying experience far easier than I expected. I truly appreciate all the hard work, patience, and guidance Kate and Michelle provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy property, especially if purchasing from interstate. Thank you again for making the process such a positive experience!
