Purchasing our property from Darren was a pleasure. He is professional, while also being easy going. Darren was knowledgeable about the property and the area and he was always very helpful and accommodating when organising inspections and various trades.
His dedication and communication throughout the entire sale campaign was very much appreciated.
When I decided to use Darren to sell my house, I sensed his determination to get the job done. He advised me on the important factors that buyers were interested in when choosing a home. Sub-sequentially, my home looked amazing on the web thanks to his brilliant photographer and a lot of hard work. I would recommend Darren over any other agents in the area. Thanks mate!
We found Darren to be very friendly and extremely professional. His local knowledge and professionalism was excellent. Darren is a great communicator, he kept us informed every step of the process and always ensured we were up to date with any new developments. I highly recommend Darren as an agent, he is likeable, honest, realistic and proactive.
Darren was an absolute pleasure to work with. I was very particular about finding the right agent and met with three other agents before choosing Darren. He provided an excellent written market analysis and gave well informed advice about pricing, marketing and presentation. He had the property listed for sale very quickly and the marketing on realestate.com was extremely well done, with a comprehensive write up and great photos, which resulted in a high level of engagement with potential buyers. He also put in 100% effort in engaging with buyers in order to sell the property. The property was tenanted and he dealt with the tenants and the property manager in a professional, kind and respectful manner. He communicated with me clearly and kept me up to date on the progress of the sale of the property. He was able to secure on offer within 4 days of the property being listed. During the period prior to the sale going unconditional he worked with the buyer and myself to ensure that the sale proceeded smoothly. I was very nervous about working with a real estate agent, but Darren was down to earth and highly effective at his job. He made the process of selling my property extremely easy. Thanks Darren
Darren is an amazing agent, he went above and beyond to sell our property even with some tough conditions (a sloping acreage block and continuous rain!) Darren got us a sale quicker then anticipated for the price we wanted.
He didn't put pressure on us. But he was smart enough to think of a house in his stock that suites us to a tee. Highly recomended.
Darren was great, very helpful when buying our dream property, explained everything, held my hand so to speak through the whole experience and above all was respectful. Highly recommend. Thanks Darren!
From our first handshake with Darren, we were confident that we had found the right agent. Darren is a warm, friendly and engaging person, and a consummate professional in his field. Darren achieves the right balance between 'easygoing' and 'proactive': he knows how to sell, how to promote a property and engage with clients, but never in a way that feels false or pushy. From the start of our dealings with Darren, he put 100% effort - skilful and focussed effort - into finding the right buyer for our property. Selling a home can be stressful, but Darren's personable, 'nothing is too much trouble' manner made the whole experience a pleasure. Our house was a bit different to many on the market, and thus needed to be placed in the hands of someone who really understood the property. Sometimes, agents seem to want to change the house to fit the market. Darren, however, really 'got' our place, and worked hard to find the right buyer. (I might add here, that Darren's writing skills are as polished as his oral communication skills: the marketing of the property was impeccable, and clearly highlighted the unique aspects of the house and position.) We would also like to give our thanks and sincere appreciation to the whole team at Fiona Winter - particularly Jim Ennis, and Fiona herself. Thanks to this brilliant team effort, our house found the perfect owner, and we achieved our asking price. (Oh - and a special thank you to Anna, Fiona's talented photographer, who was - like everyone at Fiona Winter - a pleasure to deal with.) Finally, though, this review is about Darren, so we would say: If you are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic, and thoroughly professional agent, you will find all you need and more in Darren Hilliard.
We met Darren when he came to value our home for our interest sake. Not once did he hassle us until we eventually put our home up for sale. Darren supported us in the way we wanted to proceed . He constantly kept us up to speed with everything and nothing was too much trouble . Our property sold within days of listing all due to Darren's great efforts on our behalf. We would totally recommend him
What could have been a stressful time deciding to sell and move , was made so much better by Darren from Fiona Winter Realty ... we know people think they get easy money via commission ; but Darren well and truly earned his , by going far beyond what we expected ; our move was far from " ordinary " , as included removal of large aviaries ; Darren helped in many ways , including physically assisting us to relocate them ! ... we obviously sought many appraisals , and are glad we chose the overall best ; ... we would highly recommend Darren to assist your move ... Thanks again Darren
