We contacted Bob to assist us with the sale of our Docklands apartment after being disappointed with the level of engagement with another Docklands real estate firm. Bob's pro-activeness and desire to win our business from our existing rental agent was particularly impressive. When it came time to sell our property our apartment was professionally marketed and presented by Bob and his team. Our apartment went to auction, and whilst being passed in initially, Bob was able to secure a sale for us within two weeks of our auction. Bob worked well into the day on Christmas Eve when most of Melbourne had shut down in order to secure our sale. Bob's efforts and dedication were appreciated especially as we live overseas; and we would highly recommend Bob to any vendor looking to sell in the Docklands.

I have dealt with many real estate agents but no one like Bob Budd from Harcourts City Residential! I was in contact with Bob Budds from 2012 regularly touching base about the Melbourne property market and he was always honest and professional in his assessment giving us the whole truth (good or bad), instead of what we wanted to hear. Bob is a smooth operator. He did a fantastic job selling our Prahran apartment and got us the best possible price in November 2015. Bob was always friendly, responsive and professional through-out the sales process and kept us in the loop about what was happening. Bob was also determined to get us the best possible outcome and continually negotiated with the buyer until we were happy with the final sale price. I will recommend Bob and his team at Harcourts City Residential to anyone wanting to sell or rent their property – the way it should be done.

Bob is really good with market research, communication to client. Regular updates regarding enquires received. regular communication regarding open house and customer feed back regarding the property.

Bob was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable, always helpful and responsive and thoroughly followed up potential leads. He also went above and beyond in preparing the apartment for sale. We would happily recommend Bob to others.

Well done Bob. I and my wife personally thank you very much for all the work you have done for us. You were very proactive in the process, efficient and most of all sincere in explaining and giving out information we needed. You have selected such an appropriate buyer and made the deal done so fast. It was seamless to us. It is a real pleasure doing business with you.

Having spoken to several agents prior to selling my property, I was feeling disheartened by the poor communication and lethargy I was experiencing from other agents. From day one after speaking to Bob it became apparent that he likes what he does and he's good at what he does. Bob was always available to answer any questions I had and it was refreshing to get constant updates on how everything was going without having to chase him and leave messages that never get returned. In the end we achieved a fast sale and Bob made sure everything went accordingly.

Bob helped us sell our investment property earlier this year. As it was student accommodation it was more difficult to sell than your average property, with buyers limited to cash purchasers with money to invest. He helped us come to a price that was realistic and was always available to offer us advice. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Purchasing a first property is a daunting experience, and no matter how well prepared or read you are, it is refreshing to find an agent that is prepared to go above and beyond for an inexperienced buyer and purchasing in an area where there a more buyers than sellers. Come time to sell or the purchase of a second property, Bob is top of the list.

Bob has a good balance of being a professional agent, yet very approachable and down-to-earth. He managed expectations of both us as the purchasers and the vendors, selling our property within just a few weeks. He knows how to market a property and will consider options outside of the square. We have pleasure in recommending Bob.

Harcourts had managed my investment property in the city. At all times my queries or concerns were dealt with on a timely basis by the whole team. When I decided to Auction the city unit, I was introduced to Bob. Having never auctioned before I was very "green", anxious and nervous. Bob was extremely thorough in his approach and at all times ensured me that we were in the correct market and my "dream" price was achievable. Bob along with Dione achieved a marvellous result for me on auction day, achieving my dream price. Well done Harcourts team, Dione & Bob

Bob was very professional and realistic with the sale of my apartment, very good communication , highly recommended

I had a difficult property to sell but despite that Bob put in a lot of work to get the best possible outcome for me. He was quick to follow up offers and always let me know what was happening as we went along. He had a lot of knowledge about the market we were looking at, and that proved very beneficial when it came to making the final decision. I would recommend Bob and use him again in the future.
