Made selling our Property a dream

Kathleen and her team are amazing to work with. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she was happy to answer all the questions we had as it was all new to us. Hannah was amazing and kept us up to date with all our open homes and what to expect on the day. No issue was too hard and the professionalism of Kathleen was outstanding and she went above and beyond and got us above asking in under a week on the Market. Can highly recommend the team

Experienced and professional.

We've sold with Kathleen twice now and would not hesitate to sell with her and the team again. Both times Kath put together a great campaign and had homes sold within a week. 11/10.

Kathleen was kind, open and an excellent communicator

Throughout the buying process, we came across many other agents in the Newcastle area that were very difficult to work with. Kathleen and her team were a breath of fresh air with an approach to dealing with both buyers and sellers that was professional, very open with communications and gave constant updates throughout the purchasing process. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable with all of the stressful steps that come with buying a home and we could trust what she was putting forward. I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you Kathleen for the effort you put into your work.

Kathleen gives 100% to you. A dedicated professional, great personality and faultless communicator.

Kathleen and Hannah are always available, helpful and professional. Working as a great team to get the best outcome. Always with a big smile and a positive attitude. No questions went unanswered, every message promptly replied to. Great communication about what was going on and guidance throughout the selling process. They are experts in the local market, they know what your property is worth and will continue to negotiate to get there. I am extremely happy I went with them and can’t fault their dedication and service.

Professional from start to finish

Kathleen was the vendors agent, but every step of the way she was a delight to deal with. Buying my new place was easy and smooth, in no small part thanks to Kathleen. I was respected and communication was timely and transparent. I felt at ease with the process, which as a buyer is not always the case (past experiences have been fraught!) Kathleen's style is unique and aligned to how she presents. Charming, elegant and a cut above the rest. From start to finish, professional and personable.
