In 2019 we lost a very close friend, as the Executors of his Estate we have had the very sad task of taking care of all things personal including his home as he wanted. Covid created a great many challenges but we finally got to the last stage which was to sell his family home of over 65 years in Oakleigh. Next step was attain an Agent ! This decision was a no brainer we knew who we wanted it was “Woodards” of Oakleigh and if possible “Chris Karantzas” ! Years earlier we had to sell our parents family home in Hughesdale we decided on Woodards then and "Chris Karantzas" handled everything for us he guided our family through that very emotional process to a successful sale which we greatly appreciated then. We were so glad to find Chris still with Woodards and just as enthusiastic, honest, direct & professional as he had been those many years ago when we first met. Under the circumstances we had to go to Auction with this property in 22 Clyde Street, Oakleigh, which was a little daunting & emotional, but with Chris’s many years experience, guidance, positive support with his equally committed young colleague Frank Scalise who was also the Auctioneer on the day we felt at ease & confident in a good result . And with this combo that is exactly what we got ….”a very good result” ! Thanks to Chris, Frank and the team at Woodards we can breathe a little easier as we near the end of a long journey and we make no hesitation in recommending Chris & the team at Woodards to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home as you will be in good hands. Thank you Graeme & Lorraine Laing

As first home buyers, we found it quite a daunting experience, particularly in the current market. We looked at over 100 properties over a 12 month period and dealt with numerous real estate agents. Chris was by far the most transparent, down to earth and approachable agent that we dealt with during this time. His knowledge of the local area combined with his strong relationship building skills meant that we felt extremely comfortable purchasing a property through him. I would highly recommend Chris and we are absolutely delighted with our purchase. Thanks again!

I engaged Chris Karanzas to sell my beloved Hughesdale apartment. Chris is an honest, knowledgeable, professional and hardworking agent who was always accessible to answer my many questions and offer his expert advice throughout the entire sales process. With Chris's many years of experience and expert knowledge of the area, he was able to provide me with valuable guidance that resulted in a very successful marketing campaign and auction sale. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone considering selling their property and will definitely engage Chris's services again.

Chris definitely has the know and the how for setting up, facilitating and delivering a successful sale. Better still, he is a lovely human being who makes the whole process pleasurable as well as professional. He was recommended to me by a family member (and builder) that I trust and Chris came through with flying colours. His approach every step of the way was efficient, enthusiastic, supportive and honest. He also has excellent sartorial aesthetics which made our meetings pleasing on the eyes as well as the ears. It was happy memories all the way with Chris on the case.

Chris was a knowledgeable and efficient professional during the sale of our property. He offered advice in preparation for the sale and frequent updates during the period while the property was on the market. Thanks to Chris and the woodards team.

Chris was thoroughly professional and practical during the campaign from providing advice on renovations and contractors and timely updates during showings and inspections. His in depth knowledge of real estate in the area was invaluable and made me very comfortable on auction date and delivered on expectations.

Chris provided up with excellent advice based on thorough knowledge of the current real estate environment. He promptly carried through with all actions promptly. He kept us fully informed and up to date throughout the whole advertising, open for inspection and auction experience. The outcome was excellent and we couldn't have hoped for a better experience. He built trust and an excellent relationship. Thank you Chris.

Chris is the ultimate professional! His clear and prompt communication, honesty, advice and market knowledge cannot be faulted. Chris kept us informed the whole way through our sales campaign and kept us calm and focused through what could have been a very stressful time. The interest generated in our property and amazing result achieved on auction day is testament to Chris' hard work and great knowledge. We wouldn't go to anyone else when selling a property in the area.

Chris provided a highly professional service from organising to have our house presented in the best possible condition to ensuring potential buyers were aware of all the benefits of buying our property We had an outstanding result which is a credit to his all round great service

Professional, friendly, knows the game.

I recently purchased a property where Chris represented the vendor. His casual humour belied his efficiency. My experience with him was that he was always professional but laid back. When I asked him to follow things up he was happy to oblige and he went out of his way to make the experience of buying the property easy. As an Auctioneer he demonstrated the same sense of humour and easy going approach - which worked well for the vendors on the day! Thanks Chris, it was a pleasure to buy a house from you and I would have no hesitation with listing the property with him down the track when it's my turn to sell.

My husband and I bought our very first home just over 18 years ago. Chris was the agent at that auction and we had a very positive experience with him then. Fast forward to 2020, I found myself in a very emotional situation of having to sell the home I grew up in as both my parents have passed away. Although I was aware of other agents in Oakleigh, my gut instinct told me Chris was the right person to ask. I did not speak with anyone else about selling our beloved home. My family and I feel very lucky to have had Chris sell the home we grew up in. He has so much experience, gave us wonderful advice without "telling us" what to do. He showed compassion at every turn throughout the campaign, kept us very well informed and treated our home with complete respect. I can't overstate how pleased we are with Chris and honestly we think of him more as a friend now.
