Cathy and her team are professional and excellent at communication. They maintained our expectations and delivered an outstanding sale result in a short amount of time. Cathy has a wealth of knowledge and we have no hesitation in recommending Cathy to any potential buyers and sellers.
The service and assistance I received from Ashley and Cathy was better than excellent. They went out of their way to assist in every possible way and helped me to secure the property. Very much appreciated
Over the years we've bought, sold, flipped and done renos and new builds and had become quite sceptical of real estate agents. Our first experience with Cathy was on a purchase and subsequent sale of a property in Wagstaffe in 2015. Since then we have sold, bought and are doing a new build - all through the guidance and assistance given by Cathy. We have total trust that she will work to deliver the best possible result whether you are a buyer or seller. She has an incredible work ethic, with an equally hard working team behind her. Her knowledge of the market and negotiating skills make it impossible to consider any other agent.
Cathy knows the area well. We did find communication wasn’t as strong and guidance on changing environment (COVID) wasn’t as forthcoming as would have liked.
Cathy knows the area and the business extremely well. I did feel there were times where I had to chase and a little more guidance and or discussions in next steps (off market, on market etc ) would have been appreciated.
Cathy has great knowledge and is a veteran in all things property. She is confident with good reason, she gets results...and specialises in getting that better result that most other agents cannot attain. I am more than happy with my recent sale and her confidence to back herself (and her team) to satisfy her customers expectations.
Selling my property through the Belle Team was just what I needed. From Cathy’s knowledge of the area, ease of communication, guidance for myself and my expectations. They all made it a great experience. Handing my keys to them for inspections felt like leaving my house with family. Even down to the Belle office that I visited in Terrigal I felt there was an amazing level of openness and transparency. I would go to Belle Property and Cathy Baker for future needs. Very Happy Customer Helen Tubman
The agent was very friendly, professional, and responsive. There were a few details about the property that weren't completely accurate (stamp duty, property lines etc) but generally all questions were answered. The agent listened and was reasonable in negotiations.
Who would be silly enough to try to sell their house in the middle of a pandemic lock-down? We were! Janet and I had no idea the lock-down was coming when Cathy and Baraka from Belle Property appraised our home. They impressed us with their professional approach and knowledge of the local market. The price guidance they confidently offered was not only significantly higher than other sales in the street but also rather more than other estimates we had been given. So rather than delaying our sale until spring as we intended, we were convinced to go ahead straight away. The team at Belle swung into action like a well-oiled machine. Leah and her team styled the house superbly. Joseph did a great job with the photography, showing the house at it's best. Ben put together a great video and even made Janet and I look look good. Then came the lock-down. We seriously thought about pulling the plug on the whole process, but Cathy was convinced that a successful sale would still be achieved. Her enthusiasm and energy convinced us to go ahead. The marketing through the website and Belle's data base created quite a ground swell of interest, but showing people through the house under lock-down conditions created a whole new set of issues. Open inspections were no longer permitted and personal inspections had to be individually booked. The team adapted by arranging virtual inspections and conducting an extraordinary number of individual one-on-one inspections which were limited to a single buyer with a single agent. Where a family needed to see the house, Cathy and the team took them through one by one, diligently observing all the rules set by the Health Department. True to her word, in just over three weeks, Cathy sold our home for a record price for our street and suburb. The sale price also just exceeded the high end of the original guidance she had provided. Janet and I would like to thank the whole team at Belle for a great sale in a difficult time.
We weren't actively looking for a property to buy when a home Cathy was selling came onto the market which we loved. Cathy advised that she had a number of prospective buyers for our home and gave us an appraisal. Not wanting to keep the seller of our new home in limbo we engaged Cathy and her team on a ridiculously strict time frame and insisted solely on an off market sales campaign. True to her word and within the tight time frame, Cathy produced not only one but two buyers. Cathy was professional, informative and measured throughout the entire process. The entire team at Belle were an absolute pleasure to deal with both on the buying and selling of the two properties.
Choosing Cathy Baker from Belle at Hardys Bay to look after us for this very important, emotional and stressful time, was a no brainer. We already knew she was number one on all counts as we had bought from her before. However. Cathy exceeded all our expectations this time around and we are hard markers. Cathy came up trumps. Thoughtful, supportive, responsive and above all worked every single day our home was on the market communicating constantly every step of the way until that sold sign went up. No request was too big or too small. Every call answered and responded to. We also appreciated that she was very fair and professional with us and any potential buyer. Cathy is ‘the bomb’ and achieved an amazing result. We would always use Cathy Baker no matter where we sold or bought.
