We honestly cannot thank Jay enough for his hard work, dedication and genuine care throughout the sale of our home. He answered all of our questions, reminded us not to stress and made us feel supported every step of the way. His communication, reassurance and commitment made the whole process so much easier. We couldn’t recommend Jay highly enough and are so grateful for everything he has done for us!

Fantastic agent with the highest level of professionalism, communication and commitment.

Jay was an absolute pleasure to deal with right from the get go. His genuine, casual, friendly, non-pushy approach and his knowledge of the local real estate market made it super easy in selecting and trusting him with the sale of my property. Jay was so accommodating in working around my hours of employment to make times to meet to get everything sorted promptly and professionally for me. Jay’s communication was nothing short of top shelf, keeping me informed about everything along the way. I cannot recommend Jay and his team highly enough, bringing home the final result on my property well above my expectations! Thankyou Jay !

Knowledgeable and friendly

We met Jay while going through the process of selecting an agent to sell our home. He was able to give us valuable insights into the whole process of selling a home in general and Bathurst in particular. He with Sandy and the team are part of hardworking professionals at Cleary Fairbrother, who ensure there is always a friendly voice on the end of the phone to help you through the sometimes stressful process. We highly recommend this agency to sell your home for the best outcome.

They Went Above and Beyond

They Went Above and Beyond

We couldn’t have asked for better agents than Jay and Sandy. Their exceptional negotiation skills helped us achieve the best possible price for our property, and they kept us consistently informed throughout the entire process. Selling wasn’t without its challenges, with a few unexpected hurdles along the way, but Jay and Sandy handled everything with professionalism, patience and determination. They worked closely with both us and the buyer to navigate each challenge and keep things moving forward. We felt supported and confident from start to finish. We wouldn’t look to anyone else to sell our property.

Humble, down to earth, got the job done

Humble, down to earth, got the job done

Jay is a lovely bloke, no nonsense, courteous. He provided guidance throughout the sale, took direction when I felt strongly about something but gently pushed back when required (which I appreciated). Kept me up-to-date and took the time to answer questions and talk through anything i needed. He didn't encourage me to review pricing when the market started to plateau and was strong in his conviction re: where we would land $-wise. I also valued the fact that he and Sandy work as a team. In fact, the whole Cleary Fairthbrother crew were lovely to deal with. Happy with the outcome and would recommend.
