David and Craig provided us with a stress-free process and a super quick sale. Their local market knowledge is fantastic and helped us to make an informed choice about listing our property. We would absolutely recommed them. Thanks so much guys for helping us on the way to our next adventure.
We had a good experience with David and Craig managing the sale of our property. We follow the market pretty closely and were fairly confident we had a good idea of the property's value, so there was no problem with mismatched expectations there. The place did want some TLC so we needed realistic agents who would bring us realistic buyers. They did a good job of managing the tenant to de-clutter the place and make it more presentable for sale, kept us informed about inspections and offers, and brought us buyers with reasonable offers. They are down to earth guys, not over-slick, and just get on with the job. What more could you want.
David and Craig from Century 21 Ferny Grove made our house sale a quick, simple exercise. Their commission terms were the most reasonable we could find (for a full service agency), and their specialist knowledge of the local area was a tremendous asset. David's negotiation style is honed by extensive experience, and I was confident that we received the best offer possible from the interested parties. As always, there were a couple hiccups. We ended up doing minor renovations despite the suggestion to leave as-is. Our strategy was to remove obstacles for potential buyers (such as a dated colour scheme) thereby encouraging competition. But this may not be appropriate for other sellers or houses. Overall we were satisfied with the result and are happy to recommend Century 21 Ferny Grove.
Good & knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the process.
It was a really tough property to move except for the right person. David was our second agent appointed. We thought we got a great price, the purchaser thought they got a bargain, the agent got paid, I think that's a rare 3 happy parties in this industry.
We had David sell our home for us and we found the estimate he gave us as to what our home was worth was very close to what we got. He informed us as to what we needed to do prior to sale and this helped us to achieve our goal. We were a little concerned about the not putting a price on our house eg. "Offers over" but we found that this method of selling allowed us to get our price.
I have rented my property and now sold it with David and his team. Seamless from start to finish.
It is our first time selling a property and like all first timers, we were nervous and unsure. We were glad to have chosen David and Craig who showed great enthusiasm in our dealing with them, helped us with hints to prepare for the sale, explained their chosen strategy and fallback plans and never gave up although our property took a little longer than we have expected to sell. It was great to know that David and Craig never once made us feel like we have to rush to sell our property but gave us the pros and cons in each situation. Whilst we did not achieve the price we originally wanted, given the market condition and type of property we are in, I believe we did alright - and again, David followed through all prospects and kept us up to date. Thank you David and Craig!
We found Century 21 to be quite professional in all our dealings with both David and his colleague Craig when recently selling our family home. We both felt the entire process restored our faith in the industry after some negative experiences with other real estate agents some years ago. David's local knowledge of the market coupled with his honest approach and proven marketing techniques was a pleasant surprise. We would have no hesitation when recommending David to anyone wishing to sell their property.
I know David and Craig for a long time they are very good person they are very honest and fair, I bought and sold houses by this agent I was very happy what they did for me, they know the market and they know how to deal with the buyer and seller. Regards; Iraj
The team at Century 21 Ferny Grove sold me my home and then help me to sell 5 years later; both transactions seamless and thorough and I wouldn't hesitate to use and recommend them to anyone requiring advice in the area.... thanks again!
From our first meeting, David's local knowledge, understanding of the market and realistic approach impressed us. Added to this, his presence in Ferny Grove has resulted in him having contacts with many people interested in both buying and selling in the area - the value of which should not be underestimated. We interviewed several agents and even considered the idea of going down the 'sale by owner' path but, on meeting David and Craig, we knew we had met the agents for us. Ultimately, the advice we received from them, the speed at which the property sold and our satisfaction with the price we received, all convince us that we made the right decision to go with Century 21. Additionally, there were NO up front costs for marketing (or anything else), a commission lower than other agents and good advice about issues we needed to address with the property - along with contacts with reasonably priced tradies to remedy these. While there were some minor communication issues, that might have been handled better, overall, our experience with Century 21, Ferny Grove was a really positive one. Most importantly, we were realistic about the value of our property and were ultimately very happy with what we received, while at the same time believing that the buyers also received a fair deal. Win/win! Thank you, David.
