Excellent communicator representing a good understanding of the current market and demand.

Jesse was transparent in all dealings and negotiations with initial inquiries and later decision-making. This was extremely helpful in identifying the true value of properties of interest and whether it was suitable to progress with negotiations.

Sound advice and excellent communication.

As a first time seller I had many questions regarding the selling process for Nick Townsend my real estate agent. Nick guided me through the selling process. From start to finish his communication was excellent and he was always there if I had any queries along the way. My property sold quickly. The selling process hassle free. The sale price above my expectations. Thank you to Nick Townsend and the team at Wilton Lemke Stewart.

Professional, experienced and expert local knowledge.

Responsive, knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Nick and his team worked around my busy schedule for in-person and over the phone meetings, provided balanced and fair market appraisal advice, marketing strategy and options for staging the property through a third party, which looked stunning. He helped achieve a great outcome. Highly recommend.
