I first met Clare some 7 years ago when I was a single mother with 2 young children desperately wanting to buy a home in the Oakleigh area. Market prices were going crazy at the time, with some places selling for more than $100,000 than expected at auction, in a very strong sellers' market. Clare went out of her way to follow me up and drive me around to several potential homes when most agents wouldn't even return my calls. Eventually I got lucky and bought a house at one of her auctions. The follow up service was fantastic, as I had a few issues, like not being able to get the oven to light, with Clare dropping by with her husband to help get me sorted. I remarried last year and needed to upsize but wanted to stay in the area. Even though I knew Clare and the Woodards team, my husband didn't and he insisted we went through an agent interview process. Clare and her team were the most professional, honest and realistic in the Oakleigh market. It was no coincidence that we ended up buying our current home with Woodards as they have the best stock and really listened to our requirements. Clare and her team were the obvious choice to manage the sale of our little house. We relied on her expertise and achieved an awesome price in what was made a very smooth joint buying and selling process. The complementary home styling session really makes a difference to the presentation and marketing. Clare was a pleasure to work with at every step in both processes, being honest, reliable, friendly and flexible; from OFI debriefings, taking us through out of hours inspections of new homes on the market or letting trades people in while we were at work, nothing was too much to ask. I know that Clare and her team are the undisputed best team to use in Oakleigh whether you are buying or selling real estate and can't recommend them highly enough.
