St Andrews Beach - 5 stars

From the outset, Rachael was professional, knowledgeable and energetic with regard to selling our St Andrew’s Beach property. She maintained her focus throughout the time that we had the property on the market with clear, relevant and regular feedback. When a serious buyer emerged, she handled the negotiations and then successful sale neatly. I would highly recommend Rachael for any property needs.

Above and beyond

Rachael was incredible to deal with, as first home buyers we were nervous and unsure of the process. She took the time to explain everything to us and answer any questions. From beginning to end, Rachael made the process seamless. We would highly recommend her 😊

Very good communicator and pleasant to deal with

We found Rachael very good. She was helpful, professional, knowledgeable and certainly not overbearing which we have found other agents to be. She communicated very well and gave us confidence that she was doing her best for us. We would have no issue with recommending her to other vendors. Thank you Rachael.

Made my life easy

Toni was amazing from start to finish, her initial pitch was spot on and yielded a great result, her experience in the industry shined through in all aspects, especially how quickly she was able to pivot her assessment after seeing the property in person. Toni delivered a personal touch that was very much appreciated and was extremely helpful and communicative through ever step. I felt very confident the whole way through and Toni made accommodations for the fact I live overseas. I would recommend her and her team to anyone in a second, you certainly wont be disappointed in your result. Thanks so much Hodges and Toni Katsivelas
