The whole team of Karen, Stephen and Ashton work together to maximise profit for the seller.

The whole team of Karen, Stephen and Ashton work together to maximise profit for the seller.

Initially there was a spreadsheet to timetable all open days and other necessary visits. There were regular zoom updates, phone calls and emails which included data in pie graph form to compare the progress on a week to week basis. This helped me keep abreast of market conditions and interested parties as they came on board. The whole team including Karen, Stephen and Ashton were with me every step of the process advising realistic selling points and advancing the ‘auction’ to ensure buyers were all engaged. In the end the frenzy of interest was skilfully managed to ensure the best outcome.

Exceptional Service & Outstanding Results!

I cannot recommend Karen highly enough! In what is currently a very challenging and tough real estate market, Karen recently managed the auction campaign for my property in Forestville and delivered a result that exceeded all my expectations. From day one, her strategic market knowledge, flawless campaign execution, and clear communication kept me completely confident throughout the process. Karen’s negotiation skills, attention to detail, and tireless work ethic really set her apart—she knows how to navigate a difficult market and secure the best possible outcome for her vendors. If you are looking for an agent who is genuinely professional, dedicated, and capable of achieving great results even in tough market conditions, look no further than Karen!

Hard worker in a difficult market for a seller

Hard worker in a difficult market for a seller

Karen maintained regular communication with us even when progress was minimal. We had purchased a new home at first quarter prices before selling our current one. At times the sudden drop in market prices threatened to prevent us from selling as we approached settlement on our new home. Karen utilised her extensive market and professional expertise to analyse the low level of interest and several unacceptable offers that we rejected. Ultimately, it became clear that we would suffer a selling price below our expectations. However, Karen worked diligently to negotiate an outcome that we could accept. Through Karen’s efforts we now have financial certainty.
