Selling a house for the first time can be an overwhelming experience particularly when it is a home that has been in the family for 40+ years. From the moment I made contact with David Deane Real Estate I had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with Mark Rumsey. Over a prolonged period of getting my house ready for sale Mark showed great patience and persistence in helping get the property ready for sale whilst never being overbearing or using pressure tactics. At every step Mark showed a genuine interest, communicated thoroughly, kept me informed and put my mind at ease the entire time. When I was able to get the property on the market I was introduced to Naomi who displayed and conducted every interaction we had to the same level of professionalism and respect that Mark had already shown me. Communication was excellent and I always felt at total ease during the entire process. Open homes were run well and in a matter of weeks we had a contract and a very smooth run home to final settlement. My property was not extravagant or at the high end of the price scale by any stretch but it never played a part in the service I received. My entire experience from introduction to final settlement with Mark, Naomi and the rest of the staff felt like I had the most expensive property on the market in their hands. At every stage it was an absolute pleasure to deal with such a professional agency and like-minded people, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Thank you to Mark and Naomi for a great job selling my property.

We were extremely happy with our house purchase and would like to thank Mark and Naomi for their professional service and assistance throughout the process!

We had great service from our agent Naomi for the purchase of our new property.

We chose Mark because he is tough. He has his finger on the pulse of this property district and he seems to know exactly what properties are selling and why. When we first met Mark he was brutally frank with us about what we could expect for our home. His expectations were significantly lower than ours, but he had evidence and research of properties in the area that supported his ideas in detail. With a lot of work we managed to improve the property appeal significantly for sale. Mark got on board and supported our goal. We wanted a strong agent who was not afraid of tough conversations with potential buyers. Mark fitted that bill perfectly. He also has enourmous resources at David Deane's. This became apparent when 10 or more David Deane agents walked through our hour within hours of our first day of public listing. If there was any room for improvement I would say that Mark and his team's contact noticably stopped once the contract had been signed and it was easy to feel that perhaps we had just been another another number and that Mark had moved on to securing the next big sale. So, after parting with about $13k in commisions on a house sale I think some personal attention after the contract had been signed would have made us feel more valued as clients. That being said this is probably common in the real estate industry in general and something that I think all agents should think more about. Thank you to Mark and his gorgeous assistant Naomi for making the best of a house sale that was always going to be difficult because of the financial loss that we had to face. We unreservedly recommend Mark as an agent and we would use him again! Our house was sold in 2 days for the price that we needed! You can ask Mark all about it :-)

I was looking for an agent that I could feel confident in, I could trust with exceptional market knowledge and a proven track record. . After doing some of my own research over the months prior to selling my home Mark seemed to have the results. I then contacted RATEMYAGENT.COM.AU after seeing an advertisement on TV. Guess who came top of the list? I read the reviews Mark had received and knew he was the agent to sell my home. My home sold in less than a week and at a price I was thrilled with. Take my advice, use the Mark and Naomi team at David Deane R/E.

Mark was enthusiastic, happy to answer any questions, and didn't seem to just want to feed us a line.. We took him at his word, and he respected our wishes and thoughts on how we wanted the listing and pricing to be

Great agent, would happily use again.

My partner had sold his previous property with Mark and we had no hesitation in contacting Mark for the Sale on this property. I found both Mark and Naomi very helpful and easy to talk to. I think the quality I found most appealing about Mark was that he was upfront and honest about price, he did not give us unrealistic expectations. We knew what to expect so we were not left feeling disappointed. I think most real estate agents will tell you what you want to here to get the job, but in the end those who give you the knowledge and the truth ( as painful as that might be) will get the job done right and quickly. thanks again!

We are very happy to recommend Mark Rumsay to sell your house, he was very knowledgeable of the market and was every understanding that the house we were selling was our home not just another property that had to be sold

Mark and Naomi made us feel comfortable and we felt they really cared about us. They were so professional and were very helpful with the process as this was our first home. We never felt like we were dealing with real estate agents, they genuinely wanted to help us purchase the perfect family home.

The selling of our house was a great experience. As it is something we haven't done very often in our lives we felt as ease & comfortable with Mark at the reins. He does sell homes all the time so he had the experience to guide us through the unknown. At all times all the staff at David Deans were professional. We were given tips on the best way to present our property then saw the results on the sign at the front of our property & the presentation on the internet. We thought our home look awesome so we know that this & Mark's ability to talk to prospective buyers, our home sold very quickly & at a very good price. Our selling experience was great. Thanks to Mark & his team.
