Professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with from start to finish

I had a very positive experience working with Ian and Ethan from Ray White Preston throughout the sale of my property. They were professional, responsive and kept me well informed throughout the process, always communicating clearly and promptly. I appreciated their diligence, calm approach and willingness to collaborate along the way, and I was very pleased with the final result achieved. I would happily recommend them to anyone considering selling in the area.

A real pleasure to work with, from start to finish!

A real pleasure to work with, from start to finish!

When I was looking for an agent to sell my house, I was considering three people from different agencies. Ian really stood out as he was quite a warm and engaging individual. The first impression was a great one with a lot of laughs and straight up chat, with no wild promises. I knew I wanted potential buyers to also have a positive experience with my agent, so I choose Ian. He was always lovely to deal with, professional, and his team were great, no doubt a testament to his leadership. Neither they nor he ever made me feel like I was disturbing them with my questions, which is important when you're selling, especially in today's uncertain market. I had a vendors advocate with me through the process, and Ian worked really well with him making me feel confident in my choice. At the end of the day the result was outstanding and far beyond what I could have imagined! Thank you Ian, Anthony and the rest of the team for a wonderful result and journey. I would definitely engage your services again when the need arises.

Support and care from start to finish

Ian and Anthony provided a personal and professional duty of care from start to finish. Everything was explained, cross checked and actioned as we went along. Everything was done to ensure our comfort, understanding and reach for the result we wanted. We would not have wanted anyone else on the task.

Streamlined tenacity.

Streamlined tenacity.

Having bought this unit from George three an a half years ago, it made sense he would be the best one to onsell it for me because of his knowledge of the area and the building overall. George clearly knows the market as well. He knew when we were lowballed and advised he could get a better price, he knew when we had a good offer and it was time to take it. George's greatest asset is that he is confident in knowing what a property is worth, that is what you need from an agent. Having been both the buyer and the seller with George, I recomend him highly and I will be giving him a call the next time as well.
