A rare gem in the world of agents!

A rare gem in the world of agents!

We went with Egle after a disappointing and frustrating experience with a different agency. She was warm and understanding as a person and treated us and the buyers with honesty and respect. She managed to sell our property in a really weird market and was always happy to answer our calls and questions at any time. She didn't give us the hard sell, just facts and logical reasoning based on her many years of experience. And we feel very comfortable that she was the right agent for us and our house. Would recommend.

Trustworthy with obvious experience

David became my real estate person halfway through the process of selling my house as Jo moved overseas. This wasn't ideal but David quickly gained my trust, demonstrating his extensive experience in the real estate world. He demonstrated interest in my personal situation which helped me significantly knowing he wasn't just out for the sale per se. He explained different scenarios succinctly and clearly and gave me step by step guidance where needed.

Knowledgeable, Caring & Always Available

A big thank you to Dave and his team for the way they handled the sale of our Dad's home. Dave was genuinely caring and understanding of the circumstances surrounding the sale and, most importantly, was always available and patient with our elderly Dad throughout the process. His advice on what we could do to maximise the sale price was invaluable, and his knowledge of the local area and understanding of the right market to target gave us confidence from the beginning. The whole process was handled professionally, but with a very personal approach, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Dave and his team to anyone considering selling their property. Thanks again, Dave, for looking after Dad and achieving a great result for our family.
