Chris was incredibly helpful in getting my house ready for market. He was always professional and friendly and helped to make the whole process as stress free as possible. After only two weeks on the market, he negotiated a price that was way beyond my expectations. I am very pleased that I chose Chris to work as my agent. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation.
I would highly recommend Chris Downie to family friends and general public. He always had your best interests at heart and kept you well informed throughout the sale period. Highly recommended if you want to achieve the best results. Mark Barry
We found Chris Downie to be an extremely proficient & helpful Agent and could not recommend he or the team at R&W Northbridge more highly. Nothing is ever too much trouble and we were kept informed a few times a week in regard to prospective purchasers and their comments about the property. This was extremely helpful. The auction programme & sale went according to plan & Chis helped achieve what we wanted.
We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Chris Downie for the sale of our property in Northbridge. As we currently don't reside in Australia we were very reliant on our agent to provide feedback and arrange inspections etc. Chris did an outstanding job and provided very thorough feedback reports after each inspection, was prompt at following up all interested parties and ensured that the viewing of our property was done at optimal times to show it to its best advantage. We were extremely happy with the sale price of our home but also with how easy Chris made the whole process. We would highly recommend Chris for his expertise in the local area and well as his excellent communication skills and ease of working with.
Keeping things under the one umbrella, Chris Downie managed the sale of our house and the purchase of the new apartment. These things enabled probably made the smoothest transaction ever seen by a realtor . This was stated by a former realtor and a good friend. So if trustworthy house buying is your aim, and who isn't, please consider Chris Downie of Richardson & Wrench NORTHBRIDGE NSW. The team at NORTHBRIDGE also should be commended for their ability to provide quick responses to pressing questions in the field of Real Estate.
Chris Downie assisted us with the sale of our property in Northbridge and was very knowledgeable about the area, had a good reputation as a professional, leader in this specific market. Through effective advertising and Chris' personal knowledge of this area he was quick to get the marketing and sales process in place and reach out to clients who would be suitable to advise of our property.
Chris, I would like to thank both you and your team for assisting me with the purchase of my unit, following the sale of my Roseville property. Gordon Wardell.
Chris Downie and the Richardson and Wrench team during the sale of our home and purchase of the new, were people who guided us with confidence. Chris in particular ran with market values and did not give us false hope. He at all times was upfront in the estimation of our property and kept us informed of all the possibilities and pitfalls. Our financial result in a favourable time allowed us to purchase our new home and a healthy sum put in the bank. We would recommend Chris highly.
Having held my Northbridge home for some 27 years, the decision to put in on the market was not easy. However, right from the start your insight into the property market at Northbridge, particularly regarding the optimal method of sale, likely price range and most appropriate marketing strategy, set the conditions for the highly favourable sale outcome that we achieved. The entire process was managed in a thoroughly professional and considered manner, from your initial assessment of the property’s market price range, management of the ‘open for inspections’ and supporting potential purchaser feedback, through to the management of the auction outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend the Richardson & Wrench Northbridge team to any prospective vendor.
In March 2015 I sold my Northbridge 2 bedroom apartment through Chris Downie. The whole process was managed in a most professional manner, including reports by phone after each inspection opening, followed by an email containing full details. Throughout, Chris's advice was very pertinent, and he was always most enthusiastic. The auction exceeded expectations and was very impressively run. In the future I would be very happy to have Chris manage another sale or purchase.
Chris was one of very few agents I have come across who have given a realistic price guide in Sydney's lower north shore. Most agents I believe are quoting low prices which are unrealistic based on previous sales justto get people through the door which is very frustrating as a buyer!
Northbridge is a small market - and getting quality information from usual sources (onthehouse) is difficult as the house pool size is often not large enough to for the data to be valid. Testing an agents responses vs the data is just not possible, or easy, as with our suburbs. So its hard to buy in this market when you are even at MORE information disadvantage than usual with property. I found Chris and his team to be very honest. At the open houses, I'd listen to him explaining issues to prospective buyers and he was always consistent and informative. He said from the very first conversation that the house was exceptionally well priced and would definitely be sold - and it was - but even in a hot market in a tightly held suburb, I have some comfort that the Chris and the team where honest with all their dealings with us.
