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.

We recently sold our Family home through Chris and Pam Downie of R and W Northbridge.Their knowledge of the Northbridge market is second to none and their Professional approach and advice led us through all the steps needed to prepare the property for sale.Open house inspections ran smoothly and we were kept well informed at all times. The property sold at auction and we highly recommend Chris ,Pam and their team to anyone wishing to sell through a dedicated and Professional Agency .

My wife and I recently purchased a unit in Northbridge for which Chris Downie of Richardson & Wrench Northbridge was the vendor's agent. Although we saw our dealings with Chris from a purchaser's perspective we were impressed by the way he conducted the transaction. The "Open for Inspections" were very well run by Chris. He was welcoming and friendly without being pushy. He had obviously done his homework because he was able to immediately answer most of our questions concerning the unit. In the very few cases where he did not have the answer at his fingertips he referred our questions to the vendor and promptly got back to us with the answers. We also felt that Chris was open with us in the way he conducted the negotiations. Chris was also very helpful after completion in helping us to settle in with his detailed knowledge of the Northbridge area. In fact, he kindly presented us with a history of Northbridge. He was also able to refer us to local tradespeople to help us with the usual matters that need to be attended to on settling in to a new home. From our experience with Chris as purchasers we would be very happy to have him act as our agent should we wish to sell our unit at some time in the future. John & Ros Friday

There are few agents of this calibre - Chris has great local knowledge and truly represents his vendors' interests. He provided excellent advice and help in preparing the property so that it presented at its best, coordinating with tradespeople as required and ensuring that the work was done well and efficiently. His communicated with me throughout the whole process from first contact, through preparation, and then in the on-market period and negotiation phase. Chris responded fast when I phoned and took the initiative in making sure he kept me up to date with all developments. With the open days his follow up with prospective purchasers likewise was fast, efficient and thorough and then when it got to negotiation, he ensured that he covered all bases and possible purchasers to ensure a good outcome. Having dealt with many agents over the years, there are very few this good - professional, smart, pleasant to deal with, and none of the typical "game playing" to manage vendor expectations. I recommend him unreservedly.

From the outset, Chris was positive and enthusiastic about our home. The marketing campaign was generally well-conceived and well-managed although we are not convinced of the value of print advertising. The open homes ran smoothly, with Chris ably supported by Pamela and Joshua. All of Chris's efforts resulted in a good sales result at the end of our moth long campaign.

Chris Downie and his team at Richardson and Wrench did a seamless job of selling my 5 bed Northbridge property at auction. Knowing the local market as well as he does, Chris was able to accurately estimate the auction sale price. After several weeks of viewings, with regular and timely feedback, we had a room full of eager buyers for a house that needed considerable work. And we were delighted with the outcome. Living outside Australia, all communication was either by email or the occasional phone call. At all times I felt the sale was in the hands of a professional who had my best interests at heart. Chris explained the process, recommended a reasonable marketing strategy, put me in touch with a personable and efficient conveyancer, and handled absolutely including the gardening, minor decorations and removal of unwanted items. He was always helpful, available and willing to go the extra mile in requests that were not strictly part of his job description. It all went through so smoothly with no hiccoughs and minimal input from me. Many thanks Chris, to you and your team!

We recently sold our properties through Chris Downie at Richardson and Wrench Northbridge.

We really appreciate his market knowledge, sincerity and dedication to the sale of our property. The level of professionalism he delivered was outstanding. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who wish to sell their property. Very happy with the result and he certainly has exceeded our expectation.

I would unhesitatingly recommend Chris to anyone selling property in the Northbridge area. He thoroughly knows the market and was an expert negotiator for me in the whole sale/auction process. He also did a fantastic job of helping me to get my townhouse ready for sale so as to present it in the very best way.

Chris Downie successfully sold my house in Northbridge recently. Chris was a very proactive, organised and experienced agent and I have no hesitation in recommending him. My house was quite a unique and unusual home and property and Chris achieved a great price. He was very persistent, followed up well after the open house inspections and got to know all the likely buyers. He kept me in the loop and held my hand through the whole process and it was a very successful sale.

Chris Downie is well-versed in the Northbridge real estate market. His superior skills and personal service produced a very impressive result at sale time.
