This is the second time bought the property from Raine & Horne neutral bay.Recommend to everyone.Cheers.

I have bought from and sold many properties with David Buttel and Raine and Horne Neutral Bay over more than 20 years and the agency also looks after my rental properties. Appoint David as your sales agent and you won't suddenly find yourself dealing instead with a junior person as happens elsewhere, rather you will have David's full and undivided personal attention at all times. He will help you prepare the property to present it in its best light, recommending excellent stylist assistance when necessary and personally meeting with the stylist onsite, offering his own opinions. He runs the inspections himself and gets there early to make sure everything is pristine, especially if the property is untenanted at the time. He will roll up his sleeves and sweep the grounds, clear cobwebs, and whatever else is necessary and then put his suit coat back on and look perfectly polished and professional as he warmly greets potential purchasers. I have been one of those purchasers as well as a seller, and I truly believe David manages to balance the best interests of both the vendor and the purchaser in each of his sales, achieving excellent results for the vendor, but always via totally ethical means, ending up with a very happy purchaser as well. He will be completely frank with you about your prospects and he will keep you updated on every detail and every contact. He is never smooth or oily – instead he is warm, engaging, honest and authentic. David Buttel is a shining light of personal professionalism and integrity and his agency reflects that light. Look no further – you could not possibly do better than to appoint David to sell your property. Judy Passlow Vendor, purchaser, landlord

We would have no hesitation in recommending David Buttel to sell an apartment or home. In the first instance, while buying our apartment he was friendly, not pushing but honest in carrying out negotiations. He took an interest in our renovation plans as well as pointing out the beneficial, and attractive aspects of the site. Due to unforeseen, changed circumstances we had to sell the same apartment six months later. David advised us as vendors on presentation for the sale. In following his advice, we exchanged contracts and settled in 3 weeks from first day opening it to the public.

David was a complete professional in selling our apartment. As we live overseas, we wanted the process to be as hassle free as possible. He took care of everything, knew what needed to be done, and got it done quickly. We're very pleased with the outcome. We definitely recommend David.

This is the fourth property, I have sold through David. On every occasion he has exceeded my expectations in terms of honesty, ease of doing business, communication and quality of outcome. The most recent property sale has considerably exceeded my expectations (again). I have no hesitation in recommending David.

It was David's willingness to keep pushing until the very very end that really stood out. He set a high standard and did not stop until every last opportunity was explored to its full extent. I highly recommend David as an agent who really does put the effort in for his clients.

David, I bought my house from your office 10 years ago so it seemed as good a reason as any to return to you for my sale. While you are undeniably professional in the way you operate - your personal presentation and manner, market knowledge, the suppliers you use for photography and floorplan creation, website presentation and onsite signage are all excellent. However, the experience could have been happier for me. From the first open-house I felt weighed down by my property's inadequacies as reported by prospective buyers and passed on by yourself. I know agents do that to keep vendors' expectations in realistic check but mine already were and entirely based on your appraisal. I had done everything within my power and budget to present my townhouse at its best and was powerless to overcome the continually repeated complaints of too many stairs, too much traffic noise and too small. I began to think it was unsaleable which really wasn't fair in the market at the time and those 2 weeks became more stressful than they needed to be. You claimed to be working for me but I didn't feel that at the time. Ultimately you did however deliver a buyer at precisely the right price, for which I am very grateful. I know it's the way you operate but is all the down talk really necessary.

David was great to deal with during the whole process. He was transparent and honest and quite obliging. Thanks for your help with the purchase of our property.

We feel very lucky that we purchased the property, which we live comfortablely. Thanks David for your great assistance and your professionalism, that assisted us made it into reality.

I'm only know from the purchaser point of view. I have not contracted them for sales of property.

As a buyer, it was a pleasure dealing with David. He is knowledgeable, professional and a good communicator - always available to answer questions. He went beyond the call of duty by facilitating the purchase of an item in the display furniture package.

David was excellent. Consistently with my ratings, David had a very good understanding of the market and a very professional approach to his dealings with us and, from my observations, with prospective purchasers. Thanks David.
