David Forrester was refreshingly genuine and easy to deal with when we purshcased our property. His approach was direct but not pushy like other agents we had dealt with in the past. We would have no hesitation in recommending him for a future sale.
I write on behalf of 5 siblings who recently navigated an emotional roller-coaster throughout the selling process of our long-held family home in Northbridge. David Forrester of Belle Property was nothing short of remarkable in way he so professionally managed our mix of emotions, whilst simultaneously championing an extraordinary whirlwind sales campaign that led to a result that was $1,000,000 over our reserve. David drew on his extensive data base of prospective buyers and he expertly flooded advertising online and via other print media. Throughout the entire sales campaign, David kept our family abreast of all developments, often on a daily basis. This valuable feedback invariable demonstrated to us that he developed intimate connectedness with numerous prospective buyers. I also note that we always felt that David placed the highest priority on preparing and presenting our property; this was so clearly evident in the numerous personal ‘after-hours’ inspections he afforded prospective buyers on a daily basis. Prior to commencing our 4 week sales period, David guided us in making some relatively simple home improvements that powerfully lifted the appeal of our property to a charming, open and light-filled home. There is absolutely no doubt that David’s expert, perceptive and persistent support in this area elevated the value of the property considerably. Above and beyond all of the above, I proudly say that David is 'the real deal’ … He’s honest, upfront and authentic in the way he so naturally builds personal and business relationships.

I found David's gentlemanly and trustworthy manner a delight. Very refreshing in this market. At all times David responded to my questions and encouraged the best possible outcome for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending David to any prospective purchaser or owner. Stuart Archibald
David Forrester & Irene Low and their team were magnificent in their efforts in selling my property. David was very professional in advising me through the sale process and always available to assist with any questions or problems I had. The whole process went like clockwork.
We were not on the market when David called he read the buyers brief and said there was only one house in Northbridge that fits the brief , he convinced us to open for inspection for one day , with his help and expertise he managed our expectations and got it over the line
David was very patient with the transaction. He ensured that my wife and I were not going to make an unwise decision. My wife and I are very greatful for his negotiation skills to get the deal across the line.
Bought our place In Northbridge via David - he provided good honest feedback and service during the sales process.
David did a fantastic job with the sale of our home in Northbridge. He knew precisely what needed to be done to achieve an excellent result. I highly recommend him.
Buying our home through David was a very pleasant experience. His knowledge of the market and suburb we were moving to was very re-assuring. During the negotiations with the vendor we found David to be calm, efficient and very informative. We would highly recommend David and his team.
David is a most outstanding real estate agent. He has the excellent market knowledge and professional customer service and has retained good relations with clients. With great enthusiasm and drive, he confidently negotiate and provide with the best possible service that his clients deserve.
It's taken a while to get to this review (with apologies), but the downs and downs and maybe a slight up have allowed us to assess our decisions back then - which were informed by David's advice - against what actually did occur. And for us, he called it perfectly. We were literary a couple of weeks late hitting the market with another agent and missed the upwards trend, hitting the total market collapse - with no interest at all except the ambulance chasers. We took a breather for a couple of months, understanding this wasn't our primary place of residence, so to consider what to do, and take some time to talk to other people. David's advice when we first met was nearly the worst we received, but it turned out to be the most factual of all. His integrity and belief in the direction he proposed to us stood out - and there was no promise of steak knives or "two for one" offers from him. We went to the market again with David, softly and targetted this time, with a realistic expectation of the market change, both in terms of cash and demographic. Spot on, we accepted an offer that we felt was fair (knowing the capital gain of the previous 5 years could only ever occur in Sydney...), and a delayed settlement to align with our needs with our new home construction in Castlecrag. Everything that David predicted did occur, and the sale value we achieved was significantly more than we could have expected months or even a year later. We also sold to a young family which was a nice feeling, knowing they will be able to spend time there and achieve similar outcomes that we did. Selling is a stressful process and we tell David (probably inaccurately) we won't do it again, but we probably will. He made it pleasant and factual. He demonstrated that it is not a game of chance but a process based in knowledge - market, historical and experience. Should we sell or buy again, David will be with us.
