We have bought and sold over 10 properties over a number of years in Brisbane. Carola took a professional approach. She understood the market and her communication style was outstanding. Her advice and commitment to the job yields results. Three offers were presented on the first open inspection. She is the best agent on the Sunshine Coast.
Carola impressed us from the very beginning with her extensive knowledge of the local area & market. From the photos to open homes & inspections she always made it seem easy and as painless as possible. We had extremely busy, successful open homes drawing in large groups of people with our home selling in a very short period of time. Carola was always very professional & communicated with us regularly, keeping us up to date with what was happening at all times. We have no hesitation in recommending Carola to anyone!
There is no other agent who could have got a better result- I interviewed quite a few. My property was special and unique and Carola was the only agent who truly saw it for what it was. I'd say this was mainly an experience thing- she has worked, lived and breathed this area for a long time. (I'm not saying you're old Carola! ... Carola has the zest and energy of any 20-year-old but with a maturity that adds depth to her character and her ability to reach potential buyers on a personal level no matter who they are.) Carola's experience really shone through at our second interview and it wasn't a hard choice for me in the end. She knew the market- she knew what she was doing and she knew exactly why my property was so special (which is why she recommended we take my property to auction). Her idea proved to be the right one- she found the right buyer who saw what everyone who attended the Open Homes saw. (Surprisingly one prominent agent in the area didn't seem to see it at all.) I probably don't need to spell this out ... I am certainly happy with the result and can't believe we found a buyer so quickly. (It sold WELL-BEFORE the auction date.) I would certainly work with Carola again and know I'd enjoy the process again. It was very easy to give 5 stars without hesitation across the board because with real estate at the end of the day it's the result that matters. And the result was certainly 5 stars. Thank you Carola for truly "getting" my property and every skerrick of thought and care that went into it. And thank you for such a wonderful result- I'm truly grateful I chose you!
Carola has a very comprehensive knowledge of the market as she is a 'local' herself. She made selling our unit as easy for us as possible. With a good database of client who may be interested in our unit, we had lots of viewers. Working in conjunction with husband Shane we always felt very comfortable with the security of our property. Thank you Carola and Shane for easing our way to a successful sale.
Carola is very knowledgeable in her field - she’s bubbly, beautifully groomed and is an impressive agent.
Carola's knowledge of her local market and the real estate market in general is exceptional. From listing to sale we were finalised in less than a week and for a greater value than we had anticipated. Carola's follow-up, advice, approach, and in fact the whole experience were outstanding.
Our relationship with Carola covers a period of 5 years. Carola was the agent involved in the purchase of our unit at Kings beach back in 2014. Over the past 5 years we have kept regularly in touch by visiting various open homes run by her and chatting from time to time during our regular walks along the Kings Beach esplanade. Over time my wife and I gained an appreciation in Carola’s experience and her ability to accurately tune into the pulse of the current market. In addition to this as Chairman of the Body Corporate of our unit complex I had the opportunity to monitor internal unit sales handled by Carola and the outcomes and feedback from owners was extremely positive. Approximately 6 months ago we decided to investigate relocating to a lifestyle complex and it was a “no brain” decision to commission Carola to manage the sale process of our Queen Street unit. During this process Carola engaged various marketing strategies which effectively exposed the property to a wide range of potential prospects. After 2 weeks and a few successful ‘Open for Inspections”, we decided to give up on the idea of relocating as our we discovered the property we intended to purchase was unsuitable. However, Carola suggested we retain the marketing strategy she had put in place just in case we changed our mind. Fortunately, we heeded her advice as within a week we had located an ideal property and within 2 weeks Carola presented us with a 60-day unconditional contract on our unit which we accepted and the rest is history. During this period, we regularly kept in touch with Carola and often found it necessary to ask for advice with regard to various matters relating to both our sales and purchase contracts and always appreciated the feedback provided by her. The fact that she is also a JP was a bonus when it came to witnessing documentation. My wife and I have no hesitation recommending Carola to any prospective seller.
We have purchased a property and sold a property with Carola. From start to finish both transactions went through seamlessly. Carola’s knowledge of the area is a great advantage when buying or selling. She makes herself very available and is always happy to answer any questions that may arise. She is a very hands on agent and makes the whole process very stress free.
We had the pleasure of dealing with Carola Drexel and Shane Scriggins at McGrath CALOUNDRA. We found them professional, friendly and genuinely tried to help us with a purchase to suit our needs and requirements in an open transparent manner. We highly recommend.
After having my unit listed with Caloundra's oldest Real Estate Agency for three months without a sign of an offer, I changed the listing to Carola at McGraths. She adopted an aggressive marketing of our property and did many of the things that the other agents couldn't be bothered doing. Moreover they kept us informed on how the campaign was progressing in great detail. At one point a potential buyer wanted to view the unit but it had been let out. That would have daunted many an agent, I guess, but not Carola. She found out that the identical unit one floor above was vacant and she showed the potential buyer through that one. She got the sale.
Carola Drexel proven real estate knowledge of the King’s Beach area coupled with her professional approach contributed in guiding us to achieve the best possible agreed sale result in shortest possible period without the stress. Without any hesitation I would highly recommended Carola’s services if you’re considering buying or selling in Caloundra. Carola kept us informed and involved at all times during the sale process delivering information in a positive and reassuring manner it was an absolute pleasure dealing with her. Thank you Carola we appreciate the valuable service which delivered results and for being the warm and considerate person within such a competitive industry. Very happy customers. Jennifer & Lewis
Carola, didn't give up on making sure I got a buyer for my property. With limited and difficult viewing windows, she did her best to get interested parties though for inspections. In a very difficult climate. I was happy with the outcome she produced.
