FFM - part of a very professional organisation

Well what can we say about about Albo and Chalmers? Talk about slamming the handbrake on the economy, is as polite as I can get. We were selling our property that was in our family for 62 years in May 2026, and the Federal government pulls that stunt budget, totally irresponsible because it took the wind out of the economy, shocked most buyers and sellers into a standstill, and this could have easily been done in calculated increments, achieving the desired result without cutting the fuel to the economic engines. Lucky for us, leading up to the sale, we had researched the local real estate market, and the prolific agents in the area. Federico Franco-Matos was a top salesman, and Rhonda Yim sold some quality homes. We invited them to pitch and we picked them over other agents because of the volume they do in Petersham and their commission structure; we were heading into the unknown post the Albo/Chalmers amateur hour budget; would the sales price tank? You don't know where the market is at. The BresicWhitney team ran a great campaign, they styled the house immaculately, photographed it really nice, and ran a coordinated multi-faceted marketing campaign. The open houses attracted many groups but most of them were budget shocked, and there was hesitation to commit; but Fred found a buyer and negotiated a fair price. Had we gone to market 6 months earlier could we have made another $500K? probably, should we wait for another 6 months and loose $500K? probably, you don't know. But what we do know is that Federico motivated the buyer, we agreed on a price, the sale happened pre-auction, all wrapped up, all signed up, deposit paid, in the space of a few weeks. The whole BresicWhitney Inner West Team including Rhonda, Cooper, Jeanette, and Claudia ran a slick campaign. Federico is a great agent; he presents well, he knows the market well, he gets the buyers and sellers where they need to be to make the sale. I have no hesitation in recommending Federico Fraga-Matos.
