Xavier was really helpful and knowledgeable about the Marrickville market. He was always very responsive and accomodating, and put a lot of care into the sale of my home.

I would highly recommend Xavier. He was helpful, explained the complex process of selling our house very clearly and was very knowledgeable about the market in our area.

Xavier made our sale of our home feel steady and well managed from day one. He maintained open and honest communication, with regular updates through our campaign with clear advice grounded in comparable sales from the area. We ended up achieving a result that felt genuinely strong for the current market, something that wouldn’t have happened without an agent who knew the Inner West specifically and worked hard rather than relying on the market to do the work for them! We can’t recommend highly enough for anyone selling in Marrickville or the broader inner west right now — especially if you want someone honest, responsive, and unflappable when conditions aren’t easy.

As a vendor, I enjoyed working with Xavier in the sale of my Marrickville house. He helped in all sorts of practical ways, without ever being pushy. He helped me find solutions to prepare the house for sale months ahead of going to market. He provided good advice on the marketing strategy and sustained his engagement with me throughout the whole campaign, from pre-market all the way to settlement, troubleshooting pro-actively and ensuring every step ran smoothly. I always felt that as my agent he was truly taking care of my sale. He is mature beyond his years, polite and personable. He provided objective advice regarding market conditions and buyers preferences, and on auction night he was truly excellent conducting negotiations with the final bidder, achieving a great result for me for which I’m grateful! He has a good team backing him up at R&H. The whole campaign was very well run. I recommend him as a Marrickville specialist without hesitation. And yes, I do recommend using a local area specialist for the best results as I’ve seen how other out of area agents can ruin the chances of a property selling well.

We recently sold our home at 6 Enfield street with Filippo and Anthony at Raine & Horne and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, they were responsive, caring and genuinely committed to understanding the needs of our family while treating our home with the utmost respect. Communication throughout the campaign was exceptional. The weekly updates were insightful, supported and helped us understand exactly what was happening in the market every step of the way, giving us confidence in the process and decisions being made. One of the key reasons we chose Filippo and his team was their strong market knowledge and deep connection to the local community. Their expertise, professionalism and honest advice meant we always felt we were in safe hands Ultimately, all this meant a fantastic outcome for both our home and family. We would highly recommend Filippo and the team at Raine & Horne to anyone looking for an agent who truly cares and delivers outstanding results. C and G

Xavier was very responsive, involved and wonderful to work with on the selling of our property. It's very uncertain times and he gave us a great outcome.

I have known Xavier for several years, sharing many friendly, informative telephone conversations about the property market, and the economy in general, over that period. Recently, the opportunity to sell the family home arose, and I could think of no better person than Xavier to oversee this process. Xavier was courteous and very professional throughout. At times I must admit to being somewhat overwhelmed by the sales process. Xavier was there to provide guidance and support, clearly explaining each step, and helping smooth any ripples encountered. I particularly liked how he referred to the potential buyers as people with different hopes and aspirations, making the sales process seem less abstract. I was impressed by his local market knowledge, something which helped in formulating an appropriate sales strategy. As for his negotiation skills, he was able to obtain a better than expected result, something, I think, speaks for itself. I would very much like to thank Xavier for his efforts, and heartily recommend him to sell your property.

We had a fantastic experience working with Filippo and his team at Raine & Horne Marrickville. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process—they kept us informed every step of the way and were always available to answer our questions. What stood out most was their honesty and integrity. We always felt they had our best interests at heart and could trust their advice. Their knowledge of the market and the selling process made everything much less stressful, and they were professional, approachable, and genuinely pleasant to deal with from start to finish. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated real estate agent. Thank you for making the experience such a positive one!

Xavier pulled off a miracle with our place in what is a very tricky market at the moment. He kept us well informed, helped us to pivot when required, and gave us the confidence we needed to proceed when we were nervous. He’s trustworthy, honest, hard working and just an all-round good guy. We owe him a serious debt of gratitude!
