About Nick
Hi I am Nick. I believe that when looking for an agent you have two choices, one is to choose the general practitioner who may know a little about everything, or the second option is to choose the specialist in that area. The specialist will have a greater knowledge of their market, a greater database full of buyers and know how to market each property to suit what these buyers are looking for. For me, I am a specialist in the Inner South. I have sold more properties in Griffith, Barton and Kingston over the past twelve months when compared to any other agent.

Great communicator and service to help me sell my apartment quickly

Steph was a great agent and helped me get my apartment on the market very quickly, helping me to organise last minute work on my apartment, arranging photos very quickly and keeping things moving. Very happy with the sale of my apartment and Steph's efforts to make it all happen.

Good communication and professional

Steph was very professional and a good communicator, which made what is a challenging process more comfortable to deal with. She was quick to answer any questions we had and to offer suggestions or advice. She had good trades people to help with touch ups at the property before sale which was very helpful as we were from out of town selling our fathers property. I think she had sound market knowledge but like many areas was taken by surprise by the effects of the global uncertainty would have on the real estate market. This made it difficult to gauge an accurate sales figure. All dealings with Steph and Purcell were efficient and professional. I would definitely use them again.

very capable and pleasant too.

Steph was very easy to deal with, responding to all my requests for information and for further property inspections, promptly, accurately and comprehensively. She is completely professional and pleasant, and I think she did everything she could to keep the stress of property-purchasing to a minimum. Thanks Steph.

Honesty and Transparency

Honesty and Transparency

We've been looking for a house the past few months. It's been a struggle navigating the game some of the agents play - a more convert version of "underquoting". Nick was quite the opposite. He was honest and transparent about the process and the potential landing price. It was refreshing to deal with him and the process and gave me trust in the process again. Thanks for your awesome work Nick.
