Col from the outset was clear about the expectations with the property we wanted to buy. He was upfront with costs, the market and any questions we fired off at him. He went above and beyond getting us answers to our questions and ensuring a smooth purchase with the vendors. He was attentive but by no means pushy. Great buying experience overall from a really nice bloke!
I'm happy to recommend Col as your agent. Col communicated with us really well and comes across as a genuine agent determined to do the very best by you. Overall time from viewing to contract was 6 days at a price we felt was the right number. Additionally, we were after a leaseback with the buyers, which Col also negotiated. A good result and we are very happy.
Like most sellers, we began the journey with an element of trepidation but early on Col set us at ease and turned the whole experience into an enjoyable one. Col is an honest, reliable and energetic guy and I would highly recommend him and the team at McGrath!
We found Col to be very professional whilst being friendly and personal. Everything discussed at the first interview came to fruition when the house was sold.
This was my 2nd sale with Col at the helm. He was able to alay my stress during this rather emotional sale of my late mum's home. He found just the right buyer and Im sure they will love and enjoy the home for many years. Welk done Col, thank you for your gentle support.
Things can change quickly in life & Col has helped us sell two properties with-in 3 months. Col rose to the occasion both times & has been a great agent to deal with. Highly recommended.
My wife and I had a great experience. Especially early on. We were made to feel comfortable with how the process would work. Great communicator, well presented and genuine.
Col was so friendly from mt first time I met him in my first inspection with quick response to my phone calls , messages or any other inquiries from him during my purchasing journey He showed me two property and he kept following up with me with very helpful and honest way and in less than a month I signed a contract to buy one of the two properties , I still keep good relationship with Col as he is nice guy !
Sold 3 Elsiemer street Long Jetty..one of our property's .. by Col Bernasconi.. I have to say I only give praise when it's due, Col is a total stand out, not at all like a usual real estate person.. he is patient, a gentleman, very good at navigating the tenant, client, vendor interactions gracefully with finesse... some people are just artists in their field. Knowing when to push, when to hold, when to and how to ask for what u need within the stakeholder group, well that's an art this man has a kind, simple way of balancing 5-stars!!! No grubiness, no stress, just a pure graceful salesman...
Also respectful, helpful and accommodating to potential buyers
We first met Col years ago at an open house and were very impressed with his enthusiasm for the job he was doing so much so we decided to use him to sell our property without interviewing any other agents. From the very get go we knew we made the right decision his knowledge of our area and campaign structure was spot on. He knew and read the market perfectly running a fluid campaign that was outside of the standard campaign most agents offer. He worked tirelessly marketing, promoting and facilitating as many potential buyers that he could through the house. He was alway accessible and probably one of his strongest attributes was his communication with both us the sellers and potential buyers. We successfully sold at auction after a two and half week campaign. We have bought and sold a number of properties and this was easily the best experience we have had with an agent. I couldn’t more highly recommend Col, Allanah and the team.
Informative and thorough. Made a point of communicating with us every step of the way. Would have no problem utilising or recommending Cols services in future.
