Charlie helped us to sell our property off-market within 3 days. He was professional, punctual and negotiated a great result for us without the hassle of a full-blown campaign. We would not hesitate to sell with Charlie again. Thanks mate!
It was a real pleasure in dealing with Charlie, Charlie keep us well informed on negotiations at all times. A real professional in every sense, down to earth and an all round good person that's willing to go that extra mile in helping his clients. Would highly recommend Charlie to anyone that's looking at selling their house in the future.
We are absolutely delighted with Charlie's work selling our house in Oakleigh South. Charlie gave us excellent advice (including over the last several years, when we weighing whether to sell) about how best to prepare and present our house, he ran the campaign and auction professionally and effectively and we were thrilled with our sale price, which far exceeded our expectations. In particular I'd recommend Charlie based on: 1. Smart strategy and great local knowledge - Charlie knew the area and the local market extremely well - as a consequence he could give us and potential buyers good quality information and he could devise a smart marketing, campaign and auction strategy 2. Ethical, authentic and honest - Charlie was always honest and upfront, and I think his authenticity really shines through with buyers too, and helps him build rapport. He was fair in the range he used for our house and in his commission, with no practices like '10% for earnings above the reserve' - Charlie was committed to doing his best work whether or not the auction exceeded the reserve. 3. Relationship builder - Charlie's approach, which stood out from other agents, was to attend every single open for inspection, and then to be the auctioneer. This enabled Charlie to get to know buyers well and to go into the auction with an excellent sense of who everyone was at the auction - and knowing who to look at when etc. This knowledge would have also helped had we had to negotiate. 4. Communication skills - Charlie has great people skills and communication skills. After every open and at other points in the campaign also Charlie called and gave us detailed feedback about how the campaign was progressing. I know he was also highly responsive with queries from buyers. 5. Diligent, hard working, organised and energetic - Charlie's commitment to getting a great result, attention to detail and energy helped us to have a great campaign from start to finish. Thanks very much Charlie!
We were renovating our home the circumstances changed, Charlie was very helpful with the renovations, suggesting things that we should do and did to present our home at its best I would like to thank Charlie with his assistance with renovations and sale campaign, much appreciated his honesty and an eye for details
I was more than satisfied with the result of the auction conducted by Charlie on Saturday. Charlie guided me through the auction process, and made me feel at ease. He is extremely knowledgeable with the market and I have no doubt in recommending him to any prospective seller. Any questions were answered quickly, his estimated price range was a good indicator of his knowledge of the market and he achieved a sale price way in excess of the latter range of estimated price. Charlie is trustworthy, genuine, professional and a great communicator.
Charlie is very professional and describes the property persuasively to all potential buyers that came to bid before auction begins and make the buyers feel comfortable and confident about bidding. Charlie patiently waits for buyers to make their decision about bidding before putting up a call. Charlie kept track of potential buyers well. Charlie updated the advertising weekly and renewed pictures on the main page consistently. His team worked very well and they achieved an excellent result for us.
I have friends who work for and are Directors of Real Estate agencies in Oakleigh as I have lived in this suburb for almost 50 yrs. Hence, it was not an easy decision for me to go with an unknown individual, however, Charlie’s performance results were not unknown to me. The sale was six years in the making. On, off, maybe, change the date……poor fella. I must ask him if he ever thought I was not genuine about selling. Charlie is an outstanding individual, and of the highest professional calibre. His patience, integrity, and realty knowledge I respect immensely. It has been a very special experience for me and for my wife who only met Charlie a week or so before the sale. “In Charlie we trust !!!!”
Charlie did a magnificent job selling our house off market. Whilst we were in no particular rush to sell this side of Christmas, within a week Charlie brought forward an offer, saving us the associated marketing costs. Charlie was able to use his extensive network of buyers and achieved a price above expectations. Charlie has a professional approach, is well mannered, provides updates promptly and listened to our requirements and suggestions. I would highly recommend utilising Charlie's professional services to anyone considering to sell their property.
Charlie's ultra-professionalism and personalised approach gave me confidence and peace of mind through the ever-changing and complex post-COVID lockdown sale process. Overall, Charlie and Buxton Oakleigh delivered an outstanding result. I highly recommend both Charlie and Buxton Oakleigh to anyone contemplating the sale of their home.
Charlie's displays amazing professionalism, instilling confidence in what can be a very anxious process. Charlie Darlow will clearly articulate the market realities to you in truth so you're in a position to make a clear choice without and unrealistic expectations. Charlie is passionate for his vendor and will work hard for you and is always accessible and reliable to his word to achieve the best outcome. We appreciate all the hard work greatly by both Charlie and Chris Karanztis. An amazing result! We truly thank you.
Charlie is very professional in his approach to taking on a new listing. Not only does he list the property, he sees through the marketing campaign and is the auctioneer. He communicated very well with a briefing of all potential buyers after open inspections. Advising on recent sales in the area for comparison. Knowledge of the Oakleigh property market excellent. Auction techniques very good in keeping the buyers engaged in the process and obtaining a favourable result
Without doubt the best experience I have ever had with a Real Estate Agent. Charlie is outstanding. He is proactive, professional, and fun to work with. Charlie achieved an outstanding result for us. I completely recommend
