Exceptional experience and phenomenal result

We cannot recommend Reuben Kee and Sarah Khazma highly enough! From our first meeting, it was clear they had a deep understanding of the market and a data-driven strategy to get the best results. What truly set them apart was the exceptional marketing; the presentation of our home was top-tier and undoubtedly drove the high level of interest we received. Throughout the process, Reuben and Sarah demonstrated a tireless and highly detailed work ethic, keeping in constant contact and providing updates even outside business hours. The results spoke for themselves: our house sold quickly and for a price that exceeded our expectations. If you want dedicated, transparent, and highly effective agents, look no further than Reuben and Sarah.

Exceptional Service and a Seamless Experience with Daphne

Exceptional Service and a Seamless Experience with Daphne I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a property through Daphne and I could not be more grateful for the experience. From the very beginning, Daphne and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, integrity and efficiency, making what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and fully supported. Her impeccable knowledge of Darling Point gave me complete confidence that I was expertly guided throughout the entire process. What truly set Daphne apart was her transparency and honesty throughout the entire journey. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, frequently replying almost immediately and thoughtfully arranging inspections outside scheduled open times to suit my needs. In addition to her expertise, Daphne approached every interaction with warmth, authenticity and genuine care. I am truly grateful for her dedication and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to appoint an outstanding real estate agent.

Professionalism with a capital 'P'

Professionalism with a capital 'P' Let’s start from the beginning. The service provided by this close-knit team in preparing my property for sale was exceptional; in addition to ‘styling’, it included their knowledge and contacts with numerous trades for renovation. Their involvement did not end there; they followed up and promptly reported on each stage of the renovation. This was far above the industry norms. and helped reduce pressure on my busy schedule. The marketing was both personal and highly professional, and it included producing an outstanding video and establishing a high-quality online presence. I found 24-hour, clear communication, including after-hours support, maintained throughout the lead-up to a successful sale. I was always kept informed of the communication between my agents and potential buyers. Their opinions were honest and enhanced my understanding of the current marketplace. I cannot recommend Reuben Kee and Sarah Khazma highly enough. Their innovative marketing approach is unique in many ways. They also speak several languages, which helps when attracting overseas buyers. My successful sale is an example of their teamwork, care and professionalism.

Exceptional and Professional

We had such a wonderful experience with Sarah and Reuben. From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful and truly went the extra mile for us. They were always available, easy to contact, and no task or request was ever too much trouble. Their level of professionalism was outstanding — they handled every detail with care, integrity, and expertise, making the entire process feel smooth and reassuring. What really stood out was their willingness to try everything possible to ensure we were happy and comfortable throughout the entire journey. Their service is genuinely unique and exceptional. Even our children adored them — they always wanted to come along to the open homes just to see Sarah and Reuben! That says so much about the warmth and kindness they bring to what can often be a stressful experience. Without hesitation, we would absolutely use Sarah and Reuben to sell our property in the future. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
