Wasn't impressed - uses unnecessary sleazy sales techniques, tried selling something we didnt want.
We first contacted Dane through his fb account about a different block on the same street in which he responded later that day. We ruled the first block out and messaged again about the block which had a better aspect to the sun. He responded by saying the cheaper, poorly aspect block was better value and that the block we wanted to make an offer on had an house and land package proposal already going through on it. I think this was a lie, that he wanted us to buy the cheaper block that had been on the market a long time. We messaged again to clarify if the block was for sale or if the (i believe fabricated other interested party) had an offer already accepted. He replied to us trying to invoke panic saying it would be shortly gone.
When we rang to arrange an offer to be made he was prompt in visiting our house - no mention of the other interested party again! However on making the offer he laughed in our face and said it would no way be accepted. Again tried selling us the cheaper block. We then had several back and forth offers over the phone and eventually agreed on 230k. Bearing in mind our first offer was 210 when he laughed in our face and made us feel like we were wasting his time. Clearly unprofessional.
After the offer was accepted we arranged to visit him to sign the paperwork. We arrived and were forced to wait around 20 minutes outside in the car park as he was on the phone to another client. I'm pretty sure he knew we were there outside so he could have least let us in and gestured he was on the phone.
We had a few issues regarding the retaining wall on the block getting damaged after we had made the offer. He assured before signing that it would be rectified before settlement - it wasnt. Every contact we made after that point he ignored or sent back patronizing emails in response.
In the end we sorted the retaining wall our ourselves. We are very happy with purchase price - would have preferred not to deal with Dane Stanley.
