Christine Shaw is a highly professional, personable and creative real estate agent who has been a delight to work with in the sale of my family home. Christine was recommended by a close friend, for whom she secured an amazing sale price, and from our first phone I felt confident I was in the right hands. She took the time to understand my circumstances and financial situation and explained the whole process in detail and in plain English. Throughout the 6 month process Christine gave me up to date information, assistance and advice to prepare my family home to achieve the highest price. I was given detailed information about different options for the sale of the property and estimated sale prices, ie, on going to market as is; undertaking minor work such as painting, new floors and general tidy up; and finally doing renovations such as new kitchen, bathrooms, upgrading the deck, etc. I chose the later and Christine had great ideas about how to easily and cheaply increase the functionality and visual appeal of the house. She also has an extensive list of reliable, professional and well priced tradespeople, and the ones I used were excellent. Christine’s skills were particularly highlighted with the marketing of the property. We had offers within days of going on the market and sold at auction for an excellent price. She took the time to get to know all the interested parties and managed the critical negotiations with skill and professionalism. At all times I was confident that she would do her absolute best to achieve a quick, painless and positive outcome. Christine was always contactable by phone and replied quickly to texts and emails. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable with the daunting process. I will be engaging Christine when I sell another house in a few years and have recommended her to family and friends because of her excellent skills, passion and intimate knowledge of the local market.
