We would like to thank Jeff for recently selling our rental unit at Kelvin Grove. He provided excellent advice on how best to market the unit. Just one example is where he recommended adding “virtual furniture” for the online advertisement for the vacant unit which hugely improved its appearance. During the process Jeff was very professional and kept us informed at all times of feedback from potential buyers. He sold the unit in a very short space of time for a price we were happy with. Jeff negotiated the contract for the unit sale while we were overseas and went to great lengths to ensure we were satisfied with the outcome. Even after the contract was signed Jeff helped us by organising tradesmen to do a couple of minor repairs. He was fully involved in the whole process right up to settlement. We changed from our rental agency in order to have Jeff sell the unit and we believe we could not have had a better agent sell our property. We have no hesitation in recommending Jeff to other potential sellers.

I am based in Cairns and had adjoining commercial properties (2 lots) in Redcliffe available for rent or sale. After a lack of any written offers through another agency, I contacted Jeff Smith from Ray White Paddington – I knew Jeff from my university days. I was only really expecting some guidance and direction. I was pleasantly surprised that he agreed to take on the challenge of renting or selling my commercial properties. Jeff never lacks enthusiasm and optimism in any challenge he tackles. He listened to my preferences and expectations. He was professional in his dealings with me and after initial background work, quickly provided an initial marketing strategy which was agreed to. Jeff used both an on-line marketing and did the “leg work” and “face to face” networking of nearby tenants in the same complex, to promote and increase exposure of the lots. He provided me with regular updates and feedback on any potential interest and any feedback provided from inspections. Interested parties were treated with integrity and appropriate confidentiality. Jeff sought information where necessary and responded to inspection queries in a timely manner. Being a long way from the properties and with associated complexities to manage, Jeff was accessible, through phone and e-mail, during and after hours, whenever support was required. I found that he was punctual and met any commitments to appointments which were agreed to. Sale Contracts for both lots was achieved within 6 months and taking all the interest created during the marketing process, endeavoured to achieve best outcome for me. He was proactive in each step of the sale contracts, keeping all parties informed so as to eliminate any surprises, making transition of ownership, for the Buyer and Vendor, as smooth as reasonably possible. I am pleased with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending Jeff Smith for his real estate services.

While we loved the house we were in, and shared many happy memories in our home, we were looking to place our house on the market to start a new chapter in our lives. We started our journey by researching not only a reputable real estate companies, but ones that offered highly experienced, down-to-earth, and professional staff. This led us to Jeff Smith at Ray White Paddington. Jeff was not only totally professional in the way he organised the sale of our house, but he went that ‘extra mile’ to make sure that our house was presented to the market with the best chance of achieving both a timely sale, but also to get the price we were looking for. Jeff was always at the end of the line when we had questions, is a great communicator, he explained the whole sale process, and made sure that our minds were always at ease. Jeff was a man of his word, and sold our house both quickly and for a price we were extremely happy with. A sale that opened the door to our next adventure. We could not have made a better choice in engaging Jeff to sell our house, and would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking to put their property on the market. Thanks Jeff for your good old fashioned personalised customer service with a smile, your professional attitude and dedication to getting the right deal for us. In selling our house, you’ve allowed us to continue with our dreams. Thanks Jeff, you’re THE BEST!

I cannot thank Jeff enough for the incredible result he achieved selling my apartment. Jeff’s positive attitude, sound advice and proactive communication resulted in a sale that exceeded my expectations in less in 20 days. Jeff provided constructive advice on refreshing the unit to meet current market expectations without going overboard and addressing all those last minute fix-it jobs. His advice on the marketing strategy and price were spot on and his detailed reporting kept me informed at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeff Smith as an agent that is adept and committed to helping you achieve the best outcome.

A thoroughly enjoyable rexperience

Jeff was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

After meeting with Jeff Smith and discussing my needs and expectations, Jeff suggested a strategy to best achieve these objectives. We were able to discuss this and plan accordingly. This has resulted in 4 days from listing to a contract in hand-at a price I’m happy with. Jeff was very responsive and busy to achieve this and kept me in the loop at each step. Jeff was also responsive to the buyers needs and flexible in his approach -which is good for everyone. I appreciated Jeff’s experience and his considerate style. He is calm and open and nothing seemed too much effort. This is especially appreciated in the reasonably stressful time of selling and buying property. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeff as an agent if you are in the market or planning to be. Deb

Hi Jeff We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the excellent result that was achieved in the recent sale of our property in The Gap. From the onset you provided us with extremely professional, yet personal, service and attention to ensure that each step of the process went smoothly. We immediately felt at ease with your approachable manner and we appreciated your regular feedback and communication, always valuing our thoughts and opinions along the way. We were well informed throughout the process and appreciated your honesty and advice. Your extensive knowledge and experience in real estate was evident and allowed us to put our trust in you with much of the decision making process. The end result was a very positive one, with our property receiving plenty of interest in the early days and with several contracts being offered within just 4 days of the property being on the market. We attribute this to your clear marketing strategy, time and dedication to the sale of our property. Your services well and truly exceeded our expectations and we are extremely happy with the final outcome. Buying and selling houses can be a very stressful process and we are grateful for all that you did to alleviate any worries or concerns along the way. Again, we thank you for helping us to sell our property in such a timely manner, and we will certainly recommend you to friends, family and colleagues in the future. Jackie and Steve

John and I and the kids can't thank you enough for all you did to get 39 Dudley, Bardon, its new owners. As you know our family have all bought and sold and been very involved in the industry in one way or another for a long time so have a fair idea when someone goes "above and beyond". It must have been very frustrating for you trying to contact us and whilst we may not have replied promptly we really appreciated you managing to keep us abreast! almost daily, of what was happening. You grasped the "essence" of the house and what it was that we loved about it whereas I think many others would just have seen the negatives! As Angela and I sit here in the front steps for the last time looking at the trees and the birds and thinking how lucky we were to have a home that suited our family so well for 30+ years I'm also very happy that the new owners appreciate the history of every board, piece of pressed metal and cedar window frame. Having another engineer as the new owner is wonderful as they understand John's work behind it all. And I was dreading the auction but it was wonderful and the coffee cart just magic. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. Jean Koek
