My home at the above address settled yesterday after a campaign which began in February of this year. Initially we went to auction and throughout the lead up to auction day Darryl led the way with the open houses at least every week. He showed initiative with supplying lighting himself and offering great suggestions with how to present the house. The auction didn't present a buyer but Darryl remained positive and confident that we would achieve a sale post auction. This in fact happened and we signed a contract subject to the sale of the purchaser's house. Unfortunately the purchaser was unable to find a buyer for their home. At this stage I was thinking about pulling the house off the market and waiting 12 months to try again. Darryl, whilst fully supporting my intention felt that post federal election there would be a renewed spirit in the market and recommended I leave it on the market for a month post election. His premonition proved correct as we not only found a buyer, but a buyer who wanted the house dearly and so we achieved a higher price than the previous contract, subject only to my house valuing up to contract price. Throughout the entire campaign Darryl has been attentive, empathetic, positive but above all, he has acted with integrity. I believe that his honest nature and his natural way of dealing with people leads me to highly recommend anyone thinking of selling their home to give him a call. He gets a big pat on the back from me and it has nothing to do with the beautiful bottle of Moet he gave me yesterday after settlement. Thankyou Darryl!!!

Darryl could tell I loved the house and he did everything he could to show it to me and keep me updated (it was tenanted so access was tricky). My husband had a nasty flu so I was left to negotiate with Darryl, and he treated me seriously and with respect. Women can feel comfortable with him as he's genuine. He's also a part of the Clayfield Nundah community. And that means he will tell you everything you need to know about the local area - schools, shops, croquet clubs... Havig and Jackson have a good reputation in this area, and Darryl is a part of that team. Thanks Darryl.

My wife and I are property vendors and also have an established property company called Pand Blue Pty Ltd. that we have owned for 30 years. We are property people and have had many investment properties over the years. As an ex Real Estate Agent principal I know what is needed and what I prefer in a Real Estate Salesperson. Darryl Finlay of Havig and Jackson Clayfield knocked on my door when he was first establishing himself in Real Estate about 5 yrs ago when I had just finished building 2 Townhouses. They were not listed with any agents at that time. I had had many conversations with R.E. Sales persons including associates but had not committed. I was immediately struck by Darryl's openness and sincere persistence that he was confident that he could sell my properties. His enthusiasm and attention to detail was refreshing, he gave me confidence that I could trust him. However, being a wily old ex agent I didn't commit to exclusivity, I named my asking price and told him if he was good enough then bring me a buyer and I would be happy to pay REIQ commissions. The rest is history really, he sold my townhouses for what I wanted within a month, which surprised me and he was feeding back information regarding leads and conversations, it seemed, everyday. He went above and beyond what I was used to. My next property was different, it was commercial Property, normally a commercial RE Agent completes this form of sale. But I didn't want anyone other than Darryl. I was confident even without Commercial RE knowledge he would sell it for me. It was a hard task as banks were very sceptical to commit to loans for this property. He sold it with his usual style of persistence and dogged determination and remained focussed on what was a tough task. Darryl has now sold 5 of our properties. He is for us, "Simply the Best". Professional, honest,sincere, knowledgable ,tenacious as a bulldog, as a vendor you couldn't wish for a better person to trust with your property.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Darryl to any of my friends or family who are looking to buy a house. He was very honest and competent agent.

Darryl was the agent who arranged the sale of our house. We had particular requirements about how we wanted to list and proceed with marketing our property that were not standard. Darryl correctly interpreted our thinking and went out of his way to accommodate our peculiar needs, including the timing of stages of the marketing campaign. We are completely satisfied that the price and time within which the property marketed, sold, and settled without a hitch, and achieved a fair market price under the circumstances.

Darryl was very helpful guiding me through the process of negotiating the purchase of my first home. Courtesy calls and friendly advice made for an easy experience and I would get back in touch with Darryl should I be looking to buy again.

We have used Darryl as our selling agent in Mitchelton on two occasions. As an interstate owner we relied heavily on Darryl's advice and assessment of the market. On both occasions Darryl's advice was excellent and the sales results exceeded our expectations. Darryl is an excellent communicator ensuring we were well informed throughout the sales process. Post sale Darryl remained committed to deal with us personally and ensure settlement was achieved. I would not hesitate to engage Darryl to either sell or buy on my behalf in Brisbane and would recommend him fully to anyone considering engaging him as a selling or buying agent.
