It was a difficult decision to select an agent to sell our property, but we are extremely glad that we chose Irina. There are two main reasons: 1) Irina is one of the most efficient and focused people I have met. She is extremely well organised, constantly communicates efficiently via group chat, has incredible time-management and brings a very strategic mindset to the sales process, all of which is focused on maximizing sales price. We needed to get a lot of remedial work done on our property in a very short period of time before sale over the holiday period and Irina managed all of this for us extremely well and with no stress. She even haggled down the price for a number of tradespeople we used, saving us even more money. She was also very strategic in her approach and on her advice we quickly pivoted our sales strategy between off-market sale, full auction campaign, and then finally having an early auction to capitalise on timing as more properties were coming on the market. 2) Irina is down to earth and actually cares about her clients. There are some real estate agents who dress in fancy suits and drive luxury cars with custom number plates with their name - Irina is not one of those agents. She is a local mum who cares about the community and her clients, and builds valuable relationships over time. This approach allows her to get information from potential buyers that other agents couldn't, as people let their guard down around her. She is also extremely caring and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is right. She even went to the hardware store to get us paint samples urgently when we were busy at work. Also, she doesn't take on more work than she can handle and you are always able to deal with her directly, rather than an inexperienced offsider, as is the case with some other agents. All up we are really glad we chose Irina and extremely grateful for all her support during this challenging time for us.
