Reliable and great communicator

Chris was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He was always available to answer our questions, generous with his time, and happy to accommodate additional inspections when needed. We really appreciated how respectfully he balanced the sellers’ privacy and best interests while making sure we were well looked after as buyers.

Great Agent

I had the pleasure of working with Kim and Chris on the purchase of my new property. They were both fabulous to work with and made the whole process seamless. I can't thank them both enough and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell on future.

Thank you Chris!

Thank you Chris!

I’ve known Chris for a long time, due to knowing Kerry for a long time and my daughter working in the past for Unrealestate for over 6 years. When I knew it was time to sell, Chris was the only agent I was calling. His professionalism, honesty and commitment to helping his clients is one beyond. Thank you Chris for handling one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, sell my family home. It has been an easy process and I can’t thank you enough.

Outstanding service that surpassed our expectations!

Outstanding service that surpassed our expectations!

We cannot rate Chris Hines and his team highly enough. When our life circumstances changed, we needed to sell our home for a good price and well within the Nana Glen 97-day average for time on the market. From the beginning, Chris and Kim were steady hands. Chris helped to set our expectations in terms of price and provided solid advice on how to get the property ready for market. The copy that he wrote for the sales page absolutely nailed our home's unique features. When we encountered bumps in the road, Chris was unflappable. He remained optimistic whilst providing realistic suggestions that steered us through the stressy times. Chris scheduled more open houses than we were expecting - he was determined to get this property sold within the required time, and he did. At first glance, Unreal Estate might not seem like the right sort of agency to sell a rural property. We can assure you that this is far from the case and encourage other rural property owners to consider this fantastic team when it's your time to sell. Thank you Chris, Kim and the team. You didn't just meet our expectations, you exceeded them. It was an absolute pleasure working with you!
