I can vouch for Julian's work both as a buyer and vendor of our home in Burwood East. He has always been professional, providing excellent advice and support throughout the buying and selling process. If I can give one piece of advice to future vendors, follow his instructions and you will be fine. His knowledge of the local market is second to none. I'd gladly sell with him again but we are moving 80km away!

We were extremely happy with the high quality service that Mark provided us recently selling our house. Thorough follow up and analysis of all competitive listings, and also great management of opens and thorough follow up with prospective buyers. Mark was warm and friendly, and very efficient in keeping up communication. A great asset for the campaign to sell our property, and a really lovely man to boot! Highly recommended.

Rachel Waters and Cameron Way from Woodards Blackburn recently sold our childhood home following the death of our mother. They were extremely easy to work with from our first meeting right throughout the campaign. They are professional, courteous, compassionate, accomodating and responsive. The involved us in choice of photos and text for the advertising and gave fantastic feedback following all open for inspections and were easily contactable. The outcome was a fantastic result on the day of auction. I would not hesitate to use them again.

We were immediately impressed by Rachel's knowledge not only locally but in general regarding the sale of our home. Always professional, friendly and never tried to " sell" us an idea or point of view. Overall it was a pleasant experience from the time the campaign started until the sale of our home at auction. I recommend Rachel without hesitation.

It was always going to be a task to achieve a record price for a 1 of 4 townhouse in East Burwood. The property was flawless and Julian was definitely up to the task. The photography was on point and the media schedule was perfectly formed. Basically I found both Julian and Jessica to be excellent in their communication and operation of the open inspections, and the entire process, they constantly kept me up to date with the 'real players' and offered sound advice. The deal was done well before the set date and we were ecstatic with the result. I would, without any hesitation or compromise recommend you use Julian from the Woodards team for your next campaign.

We were extremely happy with the choice of Luke as our agent to sell our family home. From our first meeting, Luke was professional and explained the selling process clearly and put us at ease as we had lived in our home for 19 years. From then on, Luke contacted us on a regular basis to either us inform us of possible buyers or just to check in to see how we were doing. He even took our dog over to the neighbours each Thursday and delivered her back before he left! We felt that Luke was a straight talker who always gave us honest updates and a better understanding of the way in which to get the best as vendors. He was always happy and positive ready to answer any question, big or small. A true people person. We also received feedback from many people who were outside during the auction. They were very impressed by the way Luke was knowledgeable about not only the area, but recent sales and figures. His auctioneering style was informative, but not pushy, yet he gained an excellent result for us. Neighbours asked for his name as a referral for when or if they sell. Impressive! We were so grateful that such a kind, genuine person was able to not only sell our property for the price we wanted, but to offer us week after week a professional and friendly connection. Not many can say that about their agent! We can. Thanks Luke :)

I sold my investment property in Forest Hill with Luke and Woodards. Throughout the process he always kept me informed of the buyer interest and also advised of the correct strategy so I could achieve the best price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Luke to anyone selling their home.

After unsuccessfully trying to rent out my property I decided it was time to sell. I had met with Luke a few months earlier and he had stayed in touch, keeping me well informed of the market. I had a price in mind, one that was slightly advantageous but Luke never once questioned my goal. The sale was seamless, auction day strategy was perfect and we couldn't have asked anymore. Would happily recommend to anyone else considering a sale in not only Forest Hill but the eastern suburbs.

I was very pleased with Rachel and Woodards in general. As a person who had previously received poor advice and service from an agent I was nervous and somewhat skeptical. As I live in rural Victoria, 300 km from the sale property, I relied heavily on Rachel and the Woodards team to conduct the inspections and deal with all of the inquiries. I was thrilled with the end result as we received a price considerably in excess of our reserve. Again, Rachel's advice was spot on in relation to setting the reserve and how she thought the auction would unfold. Importantly, Woodard's commission was very reasonable and money well spent I cannot stress how happy I am with Rachel's efforts. I trusted her to handle the sale and followed her advice to the letter. She did not lead us down. Real estate agents are often seen in a poor light. However my experience has taught me just how important an agent is in relation to marketing, introducing purchasers, conducting inspections, dealing with general queries and handling the negotiations and sale. Cameron Way was also an excellent auctioneer.
Rachel Waters
Rachel was delight to work with. She was punctual and efficient in regards to all aspects of the sale of my property. Rachel ensured everything happened when it needed to and was happy to facilitate any request I made. Julian and Rachel were a winning team in their approach to navigating the stresses and pressures associated with preparing my house for market and the auction process. Rachel's "will do" attitude and ability to attend to details and follow up buyers, and Julian's more relaxed and easy going demeanor ensured we were calm and confident as auction day approached. Many thanks to this great team for a successful and straightforward sale.
