Dear Ingrid The sale of Elvys Ave was not as we had hoped. I believe the reason for this is twofold. Firstly it would appear our market timing was out by about 2 months. APRA restictions on investment loans, Chinese stock market crash & the falling Australian Dollar undermined availability of funding & the confidence of buyers. The location of the property, best house in mediocre street in a suburb unknown outside of the immediate local area placed the sale of the property at a disadvantage. What may have made a difference? Perhaps a newspaper add in Western Sydney to target those with lower mortgages & a higher disposable income. Does not matter now. I felt Gittoes Real Estate discharged their duties better than any other Real Estate Agent in the area. People we new that attended open house inspections attested to the knowledge, competence & enthusiasm of the agents present & allayed our concerns as to how the property may have been presented. We were happy with the communication of Gittoes Real Estate with our solicitor & ourselves. We felt that Gittoes Real Estate had made every effort to secure the best bid from parties interested in purchasing the property. Kind Regards Peter & Vicki

We had been looking to relocate from Sydney to acreage on the Central Coast for over 2 years. For us there were many considerations including our property in Sydney, employment, schools, etc. along with the purchase of the new property. During this entire time we had contact with Gittoes, and other local agents. We found Ingrid and Stephen to be, by far, the most professional and knowledgable agents of all those we dealt with. At all times they were proficient and honest, negotiating a mutually beneficial settlement for both us and the seller. We could not have been happier with their service.

Our dealings with Gittoes were very professional at all times. Informative & realistic. We received & acted on positive advice given by them & as a result achieved a market result at the high end of our expectations. Ian, Ingrid & Stephen are knowledgeable of the area & had a large number of potential buyers on their books who were pre qualified for a property like ours. The result being a short successful campaign. Ian in particular kept us informed at all times & was very professional in his negotiations, while Ingrid was back grounding clients & in regular contact. A good team effort with a well co ordinated campaign. We enjoyed the positive talk right from the start " We will sell your House quickly " & they backed it up.

Stephen proved himself to be well informed on our specific type of property and has a wealth of knowledge to draw on when negotiating with potential buyers. He is respectful and honest and was very easy to work with.

My partner and I had been looking for acreage in the Matcham/Holgate area for a couple of years. Ingrid is the area expert so we harassed Ingrid on and off during this period in the pursuit of our dream acreage. Throughout this whole period Ingrid was a pleasure to deal with, thoroughly professional and always kept us informed and up to date with properties that she thought would suit us. After a long search, Ingrid contacted us regarding a property that was coming on the market and it was the property that we had been looking for. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Ingrid Osborn from Gittoes Real Estate.

Richard Faulkner contacted us way back in June (4 months ago) to see if we were interested in selling our home as he had a potential buyer interested in buying a waterfront property. It was this one phone call from him that prompted us to consider selling. The surprising fact was that Richard is based in Gosford, NSW and we live in WA and have done so for several years so he had to do some searching to find us. As it turned out the house design didn’t suit the potential purchasers’ requirements. After a few more phone conversations with Richard he addressed and answered all our concerns one of them being that we didn’t want to lose our tenants during any marketing of the property. Right from the word go Richard made us feel comfortable in our dealings with him, he stayed in contact and talked us through the selling process and everything about the sale was transparent and clear. Lucky for us, we only had two home opens as the property was sold in the second week of its initial unveiling. Never before have we dealt with such a professional and down to earth respectable and honest real estate agent my husband and I are so thankful that it was Richard Faulkner and the team at Gittoes R/E who achieved a fantastic selling price for our home in Green Point, NSW. “Richard under promised but absolutely over delivered.” Thank you also to the Gittoes team…

When I decided to sell my unit I had to find a real estate agent to assist with the sale. We tried another agent first and then I meet Richard Faulkner. He had good knowledge of the area I lived in and advised of recent sales and how they went. He believed he could achieve the price I was seeking for the property and in the end he exceeded my expectations. Richard was very helpful and easy to deal with and I would highly recommend him.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard - he was very knowledgable, punctual, and available - from the early enquiry to the settlement we found him to be very reliable and honest.

The service we received from Blake in selling our house was impeccable. The sale of our property went smoothly and we were happy with the price we received. Even before we approached Blake to sell this house he regularly contacted me while I was looking for a property for my elderly parents. Blake kept us updated continuously on the progress of the sale of our house. When we are ready to purchase again we will definitely be calling Blake.
