Accurate pricing, clear market positioning and proactive buyer engagement are central to achieving strong results, whether selling a family home or an investment property.

For buyers, Alana offers calm guidance and honest advice. She understands how competitive and emotional the buying process can be and works closely with clients to navigate inspections, offers and negotiations with clarity and confidence, ensuring they feel supported rather than pressured. As a Maitland local, Alana has a genuine understanding of the area, the neighborhoods people want to live in and the factors that influence buyer demand. This local knowledge, combined with practical market insight and modern marketing techniques, allows her to provide advice that is realistic, relevant and timely.

Hit the market and great communication.

Hit the market and great communication.

Alana has sold a few properties for us. All have sold at or above our expectations and sale has been achieved quickly on all occassions. Good reading of current market conditions. Communication is always first class and Alana puts maximum effort into each sale. Above what is expected in some cases. Sales have all progressed smoothly and I would recommned Alana to any prospective property sellers.

Great communication and proffesionalism.

As a first time seller i was a little nervous going into the process with no experience under my belt. From the moment i first made contact with Alana i knew i was in safe hands. Alana would provide continual updates on the current market along with making sure i understood the sale process along the way. Im really appreciative of Alana and i couldnt of imagined the sale going any smoother.

Professional, engaging and honest!

From the first conversation with Alana, all information was clearly on the table, with great advice but Alana gave me control to make my own decisions. Alana kept me informed all the way through and showed great empathy for my Tennant with the sale going to an owner occupier. I wish I had another property in Alarna’s region for her to conduct the sale. Valley Estate Real Estate is an excellent business of which Alarna is an excellent example! Many thanks!
