From beginning to end, he set the direction in detail and so kindly, and after coordinating with three real estate sites, he decided to sign a contract, but he couldn't, and he decided to be with Ben right away. I was able to sell my house at ease until the last three days and get the best amount I wanted. Thank you.
It was clear from the outset that Ben August was the right choice for us. He had been strongly referred to us by several friends, including a close neighbour who had just sold their property through him. Ben briefed us on our local market then carefully laid out the strategy of how he would approach the sale of our property. It just made complete sense. He seemed to anticipate every concern we had. There was an unexpected glitch with the physical preparation of our building & Ben was able to promptly secure the resources to manage the solution. Moving forward Ben didn't just talk the talk, he made it happen. There was a thorough briefing at each pre and post showing of the property. We were so glad that we followed his pre-sale recommendations. It meant that every aspect of the sale process was covered off. As I wrote in the testimonial I gave his firm (something he did NOT ask for by the way) - in every house sale, I am sure there as many Downs as Ups. The mark of a true professional is how those are dealt with by the agent in supporting a client. The same goes for Ben August's team, Ben Harding and Jane Bartley who were actively involved in our sales process. To sum up the entire process was a successful collaboration. My wife Lynne and I were made to feel part of the team that was selling our home. We were listened to and where appropriate our feedback was acted upon. When there were times where we needed to face reality, Ben, mindful of our best interests, would deliver those facts, albeit quite diplomatically! The end result was the sale of our property in a timely manner and above our asking price.
Ben is extremely knowledgeable in the local market. His recommendation of price point was spot on, driving interest in the property prior to the 1st open house. Ben suggestions of staging the property was also spot on as the property was presented in the best possible way. Advising us to arrange for a building and pest inspection prior to the 1st open home ensured all the little jobs could be tidied up and no surprises for the purchaser. Although the above were at our expense the returns were tenfold. Ben and his team were in regular communication throughout the process, always friendly, positive and professional. We were extremely happy with the price recieved and the time it took to sell. We had an unusual property to sell. However, it only took Ben and his team 9 days from hitting the market to signing a contract. A huge thankyou to Ben August Realty from 2 very grateful sellers.
Ben was a pleasure to deal, not only was his communication open and responsive, on first meeting he was friendly and knowledgeable. Most of all we liked how he shared the sellers connection to this home as it became clear the home had a lot of family history.
We required a quick sale and so Ben A was who came to mind when looking for an Agent. His sales records and average days on market appealed to us and we werent dissapointed, we achieved a quick sale and settlement. Ben A, Ben H and Jane all worked so well as a team and we were really happy with the communication along the way. 🙂
Ben and his team helped to make a stressful process so much easier. From the very first meeting we felt that Ben was going to give us the kind of attention and service we needed to get the best possible price. He knows the market and what is needed to get the job done. His support team were amazing and overall we couldn't have asked for more.
Ben and the team are very quick to respond and always give us a honest and genuine advice. My husband and I are very happy entire process. We highly recommend him. We would like to say thank you to Ben and his team for your outstanding service and effort to sell our property!
Ben and his team far exceeded our expectations and have restored our faith in sales agents. Ben was the only agent we enquired with that had a plan and strategies, and we are stoked with the result he achieved for us. We would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone looking to sell.
We were extremely impressed with Ben August & his team, especially in regard to: knowledge of the market & marketing of our place to keep it online with current trends. They were always helpful & we put our trust in their hands. Resulting in a quick & smooth sale. Thank u again!
Very happy with agents dealt with our concerns and negotiated on our behalf.
Ben and the team were very knowledgeable all throughout the selling process and very helpful with all the little and big things.
Ben is professional and helpful. He was fast with responses and able to give advice and service recommendations that were very good.
