Hi my name is Nicole Bragg, I would love the opportunity to speak with you about buying or selling. I understand that buying and selling a property is a BIG deal and that’s just how we treat it. My mission is to be the ‘facilitator of change’. What does this mean? It means we go beyond just buying and selling property. We support and guide you through the entire process to help you transition to the next stage of your property journey. I am highly skilled in both marketing and negotiating, and I boast an impressive track record in sales. I treat buying and selling a home much more than just a transaction, it’s about listening and understanding your unique and individual circumstances. I believe in helping you find joy in your property journey, and ultimately a life you love to live. I strive for the very best result and am skilled in the complexities of buying and selling. I deliver what I promise and I'll do what I can to make it fun and stress-free.

Selling made easy

We recently sold our property at 177 Aumuller Street, Bungalow with Nicole Bragg from Elite Real Estate and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nicole was professional, knowledgeable and proactive throughout the entire process. From the initial appraisal through to settlement, she kept us well informed, provided clear advice and managed everything seamlessly. Her communication was excellent – we always knew what was happening and felt confident in the strategy being implemented. Nicole’s understanding of the local market and her strong negotiation skills helped achieve a fantastic result. She handled every detail with care and professionalism, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. We highly recommend Nicole Bragg to anyone looking to sell. Her dedication, integrity and commitment to achieving the best outcome truly set her apart.

market knowledge, communication and professionalism

Claudio’s market knowledge is spot on – he really knows his stuff and gave us honest, practical advice the whole way through. His communication was fantastic, always keeping us in the loop and never leaving us wondering what was going on. Super professional, but at the same time easygoing and genuine. We felt completely comfortable and confident with him handling the sale. So grateful we had him by our side.

Honest and knowledgeable

From the beginning Nicole gave me a honest appraisal of how much my house was worth. She was there for the entire time during pest and building inspection as I was away. She sorted out everything that I could not. If you want someone to work hard for you, she is your agent

Settlement (Featuring Claudio, Ever Hovering)

Anyone who has sold a property knows it is not all champagne and celebration. There is the thrill of “Sold!” and the confident smile, then the quiet thought: what have I done? Between contract and cash in the bank lives suspense. You prefer tidy known knowns — lists, plans, certainty. Property, however, introduces unknown knowns and the occasional unknown unknown. Do you book the removalist early or live among boxes just in case? Do you buy the next home before the money has landed? Will the valuer support the price? Will finance be approved without “one more document”? Will pest and building find minor dust or major drama? And on settlement day, will it complete on time, or pause because the other side is not ready? You refresh your inbox. You check your phone. You imagine every scenario. And through it all, Claudio hovers. Calm. Precise. Steady. From first open home to final transfer, he tracks the dates, checks the clauses and keeps the chain moving. He sees the trap before it springs and fixes the issue before it grows. While you imagine worst case outcomes, he is already resolving them. While you wonder if funds will move, he is confirming they will. And something else you may not see: the champagne. Claudio wrapped it early. Label straight. Ribbon tied. Chilled and ready. While you navigated unknown unknowns, he charted a steady course. So yes, settlement bends and swerves. It tests the nerves. But when “Settled” appears and the funds land safely in the bank, you raise a glass knowing one thing for certain: The champagne was never in doubt on this uncharted course to settlement
