Our Simpson's Bay (Bruny Island) purchase was a very big moment for our family. It's a special property, so we are very excited to make our home here after decades of urban living. Understanding a property like this, and then undertaking the process to becoming its next stewards ('ownership' is such a dodgy concept!), was always going to need patience and care. From the moment we enquired over the Christmas break (and just prior to a family holiday on the Tassie east coast), when I assured Laureen that if we were going to inspect, it would not be as tyre kickers :-), we felt well cared for and considered. We understand that real estate agents walk a fine line between 2 parties; still, we always felt well and appropriately represented throughout the process. Our inspections were patient, time to contemplate didn't feel pressured, and the local insights Laureen was able to provide were very helpful (also, and importantly, her story of one day having made the same kind of transition we were contemplating, including the raising of kids and schooling and so on, was comforting!). So, thank you Laureen!

It's my second property for Helen to sell for me, on the market, and was sold within a week. Helen got all the details right and attended to all my requests promptly and professionally. Well done, Helen, and look forward to you helping me with more transactions in the future.

We had a great experience dealing with Laureen when purchasing a property site unseen on Bruny island. Laureen was a fantastic communicator from the initial phone call to the measuring the fireplace on her way home on a Friday night. Absolutely fantastic service.

We viewed an open home displayed by Shaun and Helen from First National. They were able to answer our questions and left us to inspect the property at our leisure. Our bid was successful, and we are very happy with our new home.

Helen has been great throughout the entire process. From email correspondence to face to face interactions, Helen she has been easy going, knowledgeable and has had very good communication. We made an interstate purchase in Tasmania which can be stressful but Helen made the experience very straightforward and easy to navigate.

As an out-of-state seller, I needed someone I could trust to represent my property and handle every aspect of the sale with professionalism and care - Helen Lehane absolutely delivered. From our first interaction, Helen demonstrated outstanding communication skills, keeping me informed every step of the way and promptly addressing any concerns I had. Helen's market insight and strategic approach made the process seamless and stress-free. Even from afar, I felt confident knowing the property was in capable hands. Helen went above and beyond to contact our tenant, coordinate inspections, negotiate effectively, and secure a strong result. I highly recommend Helen Lehane to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable agent—especially if you're selling remotely.

Helen was very easy to communicate with as interstate buyers. Her knowledge of the property was excellent which enabled us to have a great deal of confidence when negotiating. Appropriate response timing was also a feature and we never were left waiting for too long between communications.
