Unwavering

Unwavering

Gillian was recommended to us through our trusted agent who we previously purchased the property from many years ago. As we prepared for the sale of our home, I became caught interstate during Sydney’s extended 2021 lockdown period. Thankfully, Gillian became involved early and focused on making sure I was completely supported by all electronic communications. Onsite my brother managed the renovations, where Gillian supplied many great recommendations and valuable insights to help us best finish the property. When ACT entered the first lockdown period, Gillian quickly rescheduled everything and ensured us that she would meet and exceed all covid-safe requirements and safeguard the successful sale of our home. It took a powerhouse effort to manage the enormous conditions of the covid-safe campaign and inspection scheduling. She gave us and the prospecting purchases unwavering determination to support the 15 minutes in/ 15-minute sanitising, 30-minute cycle, for each viewing party. Gillian diligently spent most days onsite and maintained attendance to the empty property throughout the campaign and settlement period, providing video, phone, or email communication each day. I am appreciative of the compassion and attentiveness provided while I was stuck interstate, married with experienced and professional advice. Thank you for driving a strong covid-safe campaign and securing us a wonderful result.

I bought a property in Yarralumla which Gillian was the sellers agent. From the start to finish she was honest, transparent, professional and punctual. She replied to my queries promptly. Our settlement went very smoothly. I highly recommend Gillian as an agent.

Agent of Choice

Agent of Choice

From our very first conversation with Gillian, we were reassured the sale of our home would be in good hands. Gillian's attention to detail and consistent communication throughout was unwavering. Her knowledge of all aspects involved in selling a home was evident with her helpful and honest explanations and professional guidance. Despite restrictions with Covid-19 lockdowns in the ACT and us being located interstate, Gillian exceeded our expectations. Our inability to be on site for inspections, trades or styling our property was looked after each time by Gillian with her enthusiastic, and professional approach - nothing was too hard. We also greatly appreciated Gillian guiding us through our first (vendor) online auction - culminating in a tremendously successful outcome. This is the second property Gillian has sold for us and we highly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling their property.

Professional and personal service.

Gillian has been extremely professional from our first encounter. She provided us with all the information we needed and assisted us with negotiations. She guided us through the process of purchasing the apartment seamlessly. As we were coming from out of Canberra, she helped us with extra time viewing for visiting family members and never rushed us. We are happy to recommend Gillian Thorne to any future clients.

Professional, thorough and diligent - Highly Recommend!

Gillian was a true professional. She has been very friendly, helpful and informative since day one. She provided me with a very thorough step by step guide of selling, market benchmarking and was always very communicative right from the beginning to the sale of my apartment. Now with navigating through lockdowns, she has remained professional and diligent throughout the whole process and worked with us to secure a buyer in uncertain times. Highly recommend Gillian for her professionalism and attention to detail.

Working with Gillian Thorn of Blackshaw’s Realestate

Dealing with a number of different realestate agents when buying and selling recently it was refreshing to do business with Gillian. I found her to be intelligent, diligent, helpful and real estate savvy. I would say she conducts herself with integrity and she is the perfect go between with vendor and buyer.

Gillian has been fantastic and very helpful as we navigate buying our first home, she have kept us informed throughout the process and worked tirelessly to answer our questions. Gillian is also a down to earth agent who actually cared about us and our mission to buy a property taking time to get to know us and check it throughout the process. Would definitely recommend!

Above and beyond

Gillian went above and beyond to help us as we navigated purchasing our first home... even driving critical documents to our door when my husband came down with food poisoning. She was an effective communicator and liaison between parties and facilitated extra inspections when needed. We appreciated her warmth, initiative and professionalism.

Professional, knowledgeable and capable.

This is the second time that Gillian has sold a property for us. We specifically appointed her again because of her total professionalism and ability to maximise our property price through her analysis of the market, advice, attention to detail and then her reading of the potential buyers.

Comfortable experience

Comfortable experience

As buyers, our experience with Gillian was limited. However, Gillian was prompt in providing us with a draft of the contract to be used at the auction and courteous in showing us around the open house. Gillian was very professional at the auction in ensuring that the paperwork was all administered correctly and in introducing us to the vendors. Gillian followed up by liaising with both seller's and buyer's solicitors to ensure that our desire for an early settlement was achieved. In summary, Gillian was a pleasure to deal with and made the whole experience much more comfortable than it might otherwise have been.
