For an experienced Real Estate Agent with great people skills I recommend Mark Johnstone.

I was most grateful to have Mark’s support in selling my house at a time of slowing markets. I liked the way he went about appraising my house initially comparing strengths and weaknesses with similar properties. The marketing campaign built interest through regular mid week and weekend open house inspections and even though there were no bidders at auction, the house sold within 10 days and Mark played a crucial role in working to achieve an acceptable price from a couple of bidders. Throughout the whole process he kept me appraised of progress with regular and timely feedback which helped me get a feel for the current state of the market for my property and thus what might be achievable within a realistic time frame. He was a pleasure to work with and a very nice and trust worthy person. I always felt I had his full attention even though he was engaged in selling other properties. He was also ably supported by Ali Sutton, his new assistant, whom he kept in the loop so that there was always some one to answer queries at once!

I have had some challenging experiences with Real Estate agents in the past (like we all have) so I was quite defensive when purchasing a property and dealing with agents. Most agents will tell you anything to make sure they get a sale. I found Mark and his team resilant and remained professional. They understood my situation and genuninely worked with the sellers to achieve the best results for both parties.

Security in a downward markert

We were selling a house in a declining market ... week by week, as we approached the auction, we saw prices falling and properties not reaching their reserve price. Andy was worried but not daunted. Every house has niggling problems and niggling problems need trades people.. but where do you get trades people ? No Problem, Andy knows the tradespeople who return his phone calls and get the job done when there is dead line. Auction Day is scary. Only one registered bidder... for Andy that is enough.. he worked the price up so EVERY ONE was Happy. Hurray for Andy

Treston knows the Canberra market really well and talked me through the process. He kept in touch every step of the way and was never too busy to answer my (many) questions. I would happily recommend him and would engage him again.

I had been to open homes in the area and knew he was the right person to sell my mum's home. Anyone can sell the new house with all the mod cons, but my mum's house was older, with wonderful uniques features, but needed work. Andrew could see the gems within, was realistic about the challenges for a new owner, and most importantly, could clearly communicate what could be. He found the right buying for mum's home, and we couldn't be happier.

Thanks Mark for assisting us with the purchase.

Mark was very professional with us throughout the process of us purchasing our new home. When we asked questions about the property during the open homes he knew most of the answers. If he was unsure he got back to us very quickly with the answer after he had spoken to the vendors. Thank you Mark

Mark was very professional and his attention to detail most commendable. Regular follow ups and progress reports are his forte. Despite a slow market Mark stayed focused and on the job and his persistence produced a pleasing result for us.

Great Agent, Lovely Lady

We have come across many agents while searching to buy our home and Phyllis is certainly one of the good ones. Phyllis is very professional, kind, trustworthy and reliable. No question was ever hard to answer and she was not pushy (unlike some!). Phyllis was excellent before, during and after settlement, caring for the seller's needs as well as the buyers.

Phyllis has an abundance of experience selling homes in Canberra. It was fantastic to be able to trust Phyllis with the sale of my father's home. She kept me fully informed along the way and offered good advice on a sales strategy, including marketing and selling processes/requirements. Overall, a satisfactory outcome was achieved for the seller and buyer of the property.

Andrew picked up our property a while ago and stuck with us as we experienced massive delays with our new build. Despite a significant downturn in the market by the time we came to sell, Andrew and his colleagues provided clear, practical advice on how to make the most of our property and attained an excellent financial result. Andrew's calm manner and clear experience helped us enormously during the process. At no point did we feel we were getting the "hard sell" or that our expectations were being inflated. In summary, if you want someone who can get the job done while being a genuinely nice bloke, we would unreservedly recommend Andrew.
