Real Estate Agent Review - Helen McWhirter
Market Knowledge: Very professional and showed enormous skill - recommended quite a number of ideas that should be implemented prior to putting the house on the market for sale. These included: Painting the inside walls of the house white throughout, complete overhaul of the design of the front and rear gardens, painting of of all fences and other exterior items such as the Alfresco area and recommended I engage an interior designer. I accepted her recommendations and as it turned out, proved to be very fruitful, my house sold within 2 weeks of going on the market, it was only the 2nd "home open" to be undertaken. There were also many positive comments made by potential Buyers who visited the times the "Home Open" was available.
Communication: a very clear and honest communicator - was very precise which in turn brought out her high knowledge of the Real Estate Market.
Credibility: In my many discussions with Helen a lot of time was spent in assessing the market in my area and what was considered we should accept as an appropriate market price, particularly, as the current market was very volatile.. The point I am eluding to here is the credibility Helen demonstrated by not nominating a price well beyond the market value - as it turned out Helen decided to go to the Market in the $500's - this was a significant factor, the most important factor being that, we were all winners.
Negotiation: Many negotiations were held by Helen with potential Buyers and ultimately the Buyer on my behalf - the feedback was well received, particularly by the Buyer who was well pleased with the counter offer Helen negotiated with the Buyer.
In the time I have known Helen she has worked very hard, particularly, as she had many listings to deal with Harcourts at the time she agreed to be my agent. Helen is very dedicated to her job and goes about her work with, professionalism, honesty and Integrity - Helen has a very bright future ahead of her and the enthusiasm to succeed
