Craig and his colleague were conservative in the valuation of the unit. It ultimately sold for 10% to 15% more than they valued it for. I have since received a valuation of $500,000 for a downstairs unit. I accept that it was a difficult unit to value given its age, location and absence of identical units elsewhere in the district. But the valuation aside, Craig was diligent in his efforts to obtain the best price possible, diligent in maintaining frequent contact with me, diligent in keeping me abreast of potential buyer response. He and his colleague did all they could to present the property as best as could be done both in terms of verbal description and picture presentation. He demonstrated maturity and sensitivity in handling a buyer who found the purchase negotiations difficult, if not traumatic. And as noted at the outset, he and his colleague obtained a price significantly higher than either expected.

From Norma.... Making a decision to sell a family home can be a very emotional and difficult journey. Added to this is having to choose who to trust with selling your most prized and most likely your most valuable possession. Craig Stokes from 'The Agency' was referred to me by a friend I have known for many years, however, I still had the opinion an agent is out to get a quick sale and might tell me what I want to hear in order to sell my family home. In my experience working with Craig, I can now say this was absolutely not the case. I was given all the detail I needed to make an informed decision. I was never under the impression I was being 'steered' into anything. I also found Craig's optimism and experience quite comforting. I was very impressed with the 'accuracy' of his predictions. I appreciated knowing he would honestly let me know if any of my expectations could not be achieved. Craig had other more valuable properties on his register, yet I felt I was getting his full attention for my campaign. Craig was instrumental in setting up the stylist at the last minute before the Xmas holiday period. There seemed to be a kind of magical organisation going on in the background. So the whole process fell into place without any more effort from me. The decision to sell is exhausting, and Craig was able to lift a weight from my shoulders at a time when I needed it most. I would enthusiastically recommend Craig Stokes
