Off market property sale

Matt and Tulo listened to our needs and we're able to bring buyers with the right budget and the ability to purchase. We were able to achieve a price that met our expectations and allowed us to progress with our downsizing.

Understands your individual needs and makes you feel at ease

Eddy was great at communicating with me during the sales process. He knew my individual needs and listened to all my concerns and questions during what can be a stressful time. I felt comfortable that he was also giving potential buyers the same experience. I didn’t find him to be pushy or fake, like some real estate agents. He is genuine and friendly, someone that makes you feel comfortable, but still has the professional touch you need. Thanks Eddy!!!

Honest, reliable and a pleasure to deal with

Matty and Tulo have been a pleasure to work with to sell our home. From the moment Matty first sat down with us, he was warm, friendly and guenuine. We felt that they were honest, transparent and informed us throughout the process. We didn't feel pressured or rushed into making decisions at any stage. They helped work through a couple of issues that were beyond our control and we were happy with the final outcome. Would highly recommend when considering an agent to sell your home.

Honest and easy to deal with from day one

We’d been looking for ages when we finally found the perfect house for our family on Powderworks Road. Thankfully, Eddy was the agent. He was so easy to deal with, and we never questioned his honesty or transparency for a second. As buyers, that meant a lot to us. We’d happily recommend him. Thanks again, Eddy!

Good advice, easy to talk with, gets results

Chris is a good guy and a straight shooter. I appreciated his advice and responsiveness during my selling process and we got a good result. I had previously bought a home where Chris was the agent and he impressed me then which is why years later I asked him to be my agent when I sold my home. The North Agency admin team is also very efficient and responsive and the photographer they use was great. Would recommend.
