Charles was very helpful in the process of selling my mother's house in Florey in October 2020. He is professional, courteous and patient and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone seeking to list their house in Canberra or surrounding region.
Charlie was fantastic throughout the whole selling process. His estimate of what the property would sell for was spot on and far more accurate than the fairly disappointing estimates provided by other real estate agents we met with. It was Charlie’s confidence and knowledge of the current market that gave us the assurance we needed to proceed with putting our house on the market. Charlie’s suggestions about improving the presentation of the house without spending unnecessary money also turned out to be right on the mark. Charlie kept us up to date after every open home and provided detailed feedback. His extensive knowledge of real estate in the Belconnen area is very evident and his positivity and willingness to listen to any concerns we had and provide reassurance made the process less stressful than it otherwise might have been. Thanks again Charlie for a terrific result! We highly recommend Charlie to anyone looking to sell a property.
Charles was honest and truthful all the way through the selling process. His recommendations on how to best sell and market our property was outstanding. He communicated regularly with us and kept us up to date the whole way through. This is our 2nd time of selling a property with Charles and we would do it all over again with him if we ever need to. Thanks Charlie for a smooth, and pleasant experience with selling our much loved home 😁
Charlie’s advice regarding sale of the house was spot on, including the advice to wait for auction despite receipt of good pre-auction offers. Charlie understood the market, made the effort to know the bidders, Provided good advice and achieved a great sale price. He kept us (as vendors) fully informed every step of the way.
Charles was an especial fine choice in sales agent, his professional approach to all aspects of the sales campaign was outstanding. Charles was in constant contact and adequately answered any pertinent questions as they arose, it will be my pleasure to recommend Charles Blackney to any of my many friends who may seek similar assistance in future. It is my pleasure to provide this review
Charlie went out of his way to help us right from the start. We needed an extra viewing in the day which he accommodated for us. He liaised with the owner at the auction and we got a good result. Charlie knows the area so was very helpful. Really happy with our experience!
The whole process of selling my house went smoothly with Charles. I particularly appreciated his regular communication so I was well informed of the timeframe and all the steps. He immediately updated me on any developments, level of interest, relevant feedback etc. Charles gave solid advice and also took on board my suggestions. Residing outside ACT, I couldn’t reach my property every week. Charles went out of his way to do multiple tasks from watering plants to minor repairs and turning on heaters - even on a Sunday - ensuring the place always looked well presented. The regular stress of selling was much diminished by Charles’ calm and amiable manner.
Charlie Blackney was very supportive in helping us sell our house in McKellar. I would happily recomend Charlie to anyone thinking of selling their home. Charlie kept us informed all the way throughout explaining everything as we went. He was professional at all times and made us comforable in the process. Charlie is a really top agent. Thanks Peter and Jocelyn
Charles Blackney was the epitome of a professional at his job and let me know at all times what was going on.
Charles has exceptional knowledge in the property market. I sold my property through Charles and he’s persistence to follow up with potential buyers is second to none. He is also very prompt in providing updates to the sellers following an open home. My overall experience in dealing with Charles has been excellent and I would highly recommend him on to other prospective sellers.
Selling a house is stressful. This sale was no exception. There were quite a few challenges during the process. However, Charlie rode all the bumps with us. Whenever we had a need (Certifiers, cleaners, removalist, Conveyancing, etc etc) Charlie came through with the goods. His advice was great at all times too. He is calm, polite, easy to deal with and not at all a slimy agent. It was easy having Charlie in your house. You can relax around him. He’s a good bloke and not at all pushy. I never once felt harried or pressured by him. I felt supported. I trust him. He secured us a good price and quickly. We’d definitely use him again and we definitely recommend him.
We have popped the generously supplied bottle of Moet so it is definitely time to write to express our thanks and reflect on why we chose Charles. 1. Charles made no unrealistic promises. 2.He had a warm, lived in sort of face that reminded you a Anthony Le Paglia at times. 3.He was a good listener. 4. He kept discussions on track. 5. He developed and kept to the marketing strategy. He did not waver. and it worked. 6. The houses that Charles marketed in the area were all well presented. This was of course the owners responsibility but some other agents appeared to have more of a" sell it now, we are the local experts" approach. We are very glad that we did take the time to present the property and that Charles was patient. 7.Michelle as host was part of the marketing strategy and we feel that her contribution was very important. Michelle worked as a team with Charles and added a grace and warmth that relaxed and connected with many clients. 8. Charles' auctioneer had a deep resonant voice but never yelled or pointedly prodded his bidders. All at the auction would have felt that the process was polite and fair (as well as fun!) 9. The house sold at above the reserve. Thanks for a great result that was achieved ethically and with a style and fun that was probably honed from long experience.
