D'Arcy Estate Agents - Ashgrove

Coming from a family of small business owners I was delighted to buy my first apartment through a local, family run real estate, however the experience was so far from the warmth and care that I associate with family businesses. It is genuinely sad to see people who lack the business skills, negotiation skills, social awareness, and compassion to be able to resolve a minor conflict without defaulting to aggression and bullying tactics. Bonnie and Peter were unpleasant and hostile in my exchanges with them. I wish D'Arcy real estate well as a business and I don't like to write a negative review. I have no ill will against the agency, but I would like to hold them accountable publicly so that nobody else has the awful and unsettling experience I had during the otherwise very exciting chapter of buying my first home. Pat however, was an absolute delight to deal with. Bonnie and Peter, I'm so sorry for whatever has caused you to become so angry. While it does temporarily hurt other people, I suspect that anger hurts you the most intensely and pervasively. I truly wish you both well and that life is kinder to you in the future.

I recently engaged Simon to sell my unit at Red Hill. This was the second time I have used Simon to sell a property for me. I found Simon to be very proactive in all my dealings with him. We met, agreed on what we thought was a reasonable price and began the marketing process. My aim was to achieve a quick sale. After the first open house, I received a number of expressions of interest, but none were at the price I was after. Simon followed on these and within a week I had a contract for the price I wanted. At all stages during the settlement period, Simon kept me informed of the progress (building and pest inspection, finance approved) and the settlement proceeded without a hitch. I would thoroughly recommend Simon to anyone who is looking for a good, reliable real estate agent with plenty of experience in the industry and an excellent knowledge of current industry trends.
