Early in 2024, we considered selling a small house in Brighton which had been in our family for almost 40 years. It was a daunting prospect because we'd not bought or sold any real estate during that time. How to begin? Naturally we talked to a few friends in the suburb who had some experience of local agents. There were several good recommendations but we always like to do our own research. We were aware of Nick Johnstone Real Estate through their prominent activity in the Bayside area and, personally, I like their billboard design and had been very impressed by their auctioneers, Nick and Joe, when we'd gone along to watch a few of their auctions. We contacted Nick and invited him to look at our property. It was a good, no nonsense meeting that gave us some confidence in his knowledge and their process. Trust the process, Nick told us; an we did just that. Fees are fees and there's not a great deal of difference from one agent to the other so we decided Nick was our best and preferred option because he has a great manner with people and we're not a push over. We met more of Nick's Brighton team over the next month once we'd signed up and decided on the auction date. Everything they did was spot on, extra special and left nothing behind. Our whole family loved Nick, Katie and Natasha. They are truly genuine straight shooters who cared about us and got us a fabulous outcome on auction day. Nick doesn't do things in half measure - a true professional and lots of fun to work with. Thanks to Nick and his fabulous team at NJRE, you have helped change our lives for the better.
