Ben's attention to detail, flexibility and genuine care gave me tremendous peace of mind.

Ben's attention to detail, flexibility and genuine care gave me tremendous peace of mind.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your exceptional service, professionalism and dedication throughout the sale of my property. Your commitment went above and beyond anything I could reasonably have expected from a selling agent. In my absence, you took the initiative to ensure the property was always presented at its best, attending to thoughtful details such as watering plants, removing fallen leaves and accommodating additional inspections for prospective buyers unable to attend scheduled open homes. Your communication throughout the entire process was equally impressive. Regular phone calls, together with live updates via the app during each open home, ensured I was consistently informed and involved, despite being away from the property. This level of communication and transparency was invaluable and gave me tremendous confidence and peace of mind. Your attention to detail, flexibility and genuine care reassured me that my property was in capable and trustworthy hands. Thank you for your outstanding efforts, your willingness to go the extra mile and for making the entire selling experience so seamless and stress-free. Your exceptional service has not gone unnoticed and is sincerely appreciated. With heartfelt thanks and very best wishes.

Ben and his team excelled in all aspects of the sale of my parents house.

Our parents house sold with only being on the market for a few weeks demonstrating Ben's team has strong market knowledge. This is not the first time we've sought Bens assistance in the sale of properties. Bens communication style puts you at ease and regular updates made the whole process run smoothly. We will not hesitate in highly recommending him to any potential clients

I was kept well informed as the marketing for the property progressed.

I was kept well informed as the marketing for the property progressed.

We have used Ben for two property sales & were very happy with both outcomes. I believe he has realistic market expectations. This sale had an unexpected challenge which he handled professionally & with discretion. He respected my expectations and at no stage did I feel pressured. He was open and honest and nothing was too much trouble for him. Thankyou, Ben, for a job well done.

Professional and Reliable

We had a great experience working with Ben to sell our property. We chose Ben after receiving excellent recommendations from friends, and he certainly lived up to our expectations. From the outset, Ben provided realistic and achievable expectations around both the sale price and the length of the campaign, which gave us confidence throughout the process. He also gave us practical advice on how to present our property to achieve the best possible value, without recommending unnecessary spending. Ben was always professional, reliable, approachable and happy to help. His communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way so we always knew what was happening. We particularly appreciated his use of technology, which provided real-time updates on inspections, buyer feedback and the progress of potential purchasers. It made the whole process easy to follow and very transparent. Overall, Ben made the experience of selling our property as smooth and straightforward as possible. We would happily use Ben and Solely Properties again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends.

Honest and straightforward making the selling process seem easy

Ben James of Solely Properties was recommended to me and every quality backing that recommendation was brought to bear. I felt entirely comfortable discussing the property value and the options for presentation and sale. He listened to me and gave advice coming from experience. Throughout the process Ben kept communicating about prospective buyers and his next steps. I am sure his skills in garnering trust with people was a crucial part of finding buyers happy with their purchase at a price to suit me.
