I hired Dean Sperotto of PRD Nationwide to sell my Oatley residence by auction despite another very competitive proposal. Why? # Dean followed up his proposal several times in a most appropriate manner # Dean knew the local market very well and his advice was sound # At a time of Covid lockdown, Dean shared video of the on-line auction process # The key point: Dean had higher aspiration for the price that could be achieved with appropriate preparation of the property despite a limited budget # Dean adapted his proposal to be very competitive and superior to that of his key competitor. How did it work out? 1 Dean gave good advice on trades to assist with preparation of the property. They responded and delivered very fast. 2 Dean recalled the photographer to better highlight the heritage features of the property and its potential. 3 Dean sent the draft advertising including on-line presentation for review and responded to comments. 4 Dean and the PRD team showed very many people over the property, one enquirer at a time due to Covid. 5 The auction reserve price was set realistically and bidding was competitive. 6 The property sold nearly 20% above reserve. Dean's aspiration was delivered.

Throughout my dealings with Dean, I found him to be honest, approachable and professional. He kept me informed of the progress in the sale process, including feedback from open house attendees. His calm approach put my mind at ease….from helpful tips for presenting one’s home for sale to sound advice on auction day. He deserves credit for achieving a wonderful result.

Dean has now sold two properties for me, both prior to auction with prices above my expectations, the most recent in early December 2021. Dean's thorough research into the local market provided me with reassurance that I can rely on his advice, but he was always open to my questioning and patiently answered my queries. At all times I felt I was in control, having the final say on marketing strategy, including styling, but with a trusted adviser and skillful negotiator by my side. Dean understands the buyers and focuses on what can realistically be achieved.

Dean has been very patient with clients, experienced and professional, no hidden surprises, old fashion way of doing business, easy to deal with, always answer in time.

Great selling experience. Very knowledgeable agent that guided me comfortably through the entire process. Managed potential buyers well and we ended up with a great result. I will be very happy to sell future properties with Dean and his team

Dean was very professional in his approach to selling the property. Great result achieved.

Dean has been very supportive during the process of selling my house. From the time I first contacted him, I felt he was someone I could trust. He explained everything clearly to me and if I had any inquiries or concerns he responded promptly to my phone calls or messages. He was also happy to talk to my relatives at my home. I believe Dean got the best possible outcome for me. I am very thankful for all his efforts.

I had amy initial meeting with Dean and he put himself out there to sell my family home. He delivered as promised and we achieved the price we wanted as promised. He was professional and transperant throughout the entire journey. I am extremely pleased that I went with Dean and PRD Oatley to achieve the desired result.

Dean is knowledgeable and professional in carrying out his duties. He acts without exerting pressure.

Dean is a fantastic real estate agent. We bought our house through him and then got him to sell our unit off market. He is very personable and approachable. Dean would always go that extra mile to support and satisfy our requests.

Our darling mum passed away the end of Jan 2021. COVID complicated things and we needed to decide what to do with our mum’s property. Over many years the family had used PRD in Oatley for various property purchases. And now we needed to sell, or should we rent?! One of us lived in Oatley and the other in California. We interviewed PRD and other realtors and finally decided upon PRD, or more specifically, Dean We could never have got thru the sale of our mum’s property without Dean. He was patient and understanding as went thru this difficult time. Dean made such a difference and we are so grateful that we went with PRD. With time zone differences it felt like Dean worked around the clock for us. We were always communicated in a timely manner – whether via FaceTime, texts, emails or old fashioned phone calls. Not everything went as planned, yet because Dean was so on top of things, we never felt blind-sided or that our best interests were not as paramount to Dean, as they were to us. Dean truly was the perfect man for our job! Realtors get a bad rap from time to time, and sometimes rightly so. Dean is a standout exception. We feel so blessed to have worked with Dean. It’s been a tough year, compounded by COVID, and Dean made it easier on us. We know our mum would have been thrilled with the result Dean achieved.

It has been a pleasant experience dealing with Dean.
