Great support, communication, patience and understanding. Highly recommend.

From my perspective, great in all aspects. Selling this property on behalf of a family member, I don’t even live in the immediate region. They were understanding of my situation and were prepared to assist with certain issues that I could have addressed if I was there. Always responded promptly when I had questions and always kept me in the loop as necessary. Provided great support and advice throughout.

Excellent communicator achieving a great result.

I can’t recommend Nick Keane from Blights Real Estate highly enough. From the very beginning, Nick was professional, approachable and incredibly dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for the sale of my property in Port Pirie. He kept me informed every step of the way, communicated honestly and promptly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and well managed. Nick’s enthusiasm, market knowledge and strong negotiation skills were exceptional. I always felt that he had my best interests at heart. If you’re looking for an agent who is hardworking, trustworthy and truly cares about getting great results, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick Keane from Blights Real Estate. He has a fantastic future ahead of him, and I am extremely grateful for everything he did to achieve a successful sale. Thank you, Nick—you exceeded my expectations.
