Helpful, knowledgeable, professional

I'm a former owner occupier who had to move overseas, then decided to sell my property from abroad. Shenal was able to organise everything very quickly - from the photos, to the listing, to the open house, and the coordination of offers. I found her very courteous and professional to deal with. She has a great knowledge of the Brisbane market, and within a week of starting the process we were able to lock in a compelling offer. She made everything feel very smooth and easy. I would heartily recommend her services!

Big thanks to Kris and his team!

We entrusted Kris and his associate, Sam, with the sale of our Graceville home and couldn’t have been happier with the result. Having originally purchased the home through Kris, he stayed in touch throughout our ownership and renovations, so he was our first, and only call, when it came time to sell our first family home. His guidance leading up to and throughout the campaign was thoughtful, accurate, and clearly informed by a deep understanding of the local area, market dynamics, and the buyers we wanted to attract. Kris and his team delivered an exceptional marketing campaign. The photography and videography showcasing the character of our home and the hard work we had put into it. This is something we’ll look back on for years to come. These marketing efforts truly paid off, resulting in a record sale price for the street that exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for an honest agent who will genuinely work hard for you, Kris and Sam are the team to trust. A special mention to Sam, who was involved from the very beginning. He’s a fantastic representative of Kris and his business, and with Kris’s mentorship, he has a great future in real estate. We hope the new owners will love our home as much as we did. Thank you again Kris, we look forward to working with you in the future.

So glad we chose Gerard as our agent!

Gerard has strong knowledge of the residential market. He prepared us for the sale much earlier showing us all the steps to take when we decided to sell our house. He was there every step of the process, photos, styling, doing the open home inspections, building inspections, communicating with us about all the offers, advising us about them and which approach we should take and much more. If one day we sell a property again we certainly will have him and that’s why we highly recommend him. Thank you Gerard for your work.

Consummate professional who delivered on every promise made

From the initial market comparative analysis to the two hour long presentation on how to get the maximum price and why use him, to the actual process of sale, Kris was utterly professional, explained everything clearly, listened and responded to our concerns and queries, guided us where needed and firmly encouraged and influenced us when required. He communicated regularly, responded to questions quickly, advised us what to expect, what steps he would take when and then, very importantly, he took those steps. Everything Kris indicated would likely happen transpired, culminating in a record price for the size block in our suburb. In summary, Kris was superbly professional, responsive, guiding and, above all, extremely effective. I thank Kris for his conduct, counsel and, of course, the result. Genuine, caring, exacting, responsive real estate agents are rare...Kris is one of them and I would recommend him irrespective of the type or value of your property. He will deliver!!
