Very high local knowledge. Extremely polite and courteous

Thank you to John Murray & the team at Whale Real Estate whose professional skills & manner helped us sell our Mother's home. Their care & understanding certainly eased an emotionally difficult time.

John and his team were highly enthusiastic and very helpful right from the start. Their initial estimation of the asking price was somewhat above my expectation but there were extenuating circumstances which prevailed to reduce the attractiveness of the property; continual rain made the access difficult and was almost certainly a negative to some of the “lookers”. However, the team from Whale brought a number of prospective buyers to the property and were always highly enthusiastic and helpful, and kept me informed every step of the way. When the sale was finally concluded they were very helpful both to me and to the buyer. I thank the team from Whale for all their help and advice and their successful efforts in selling my property in my absence overseas.

John clearly has lots of expertise and knowledge and put us in touch with the right local people to assist us with our decision to buy as the property we were inspecting needed a great deal of work and we had come from interstate. No pressure, just great help and support with the purchase.

John advised on sale price and timing during the year before we decided to sell. He negotiated an excellent price that exceeded our expectations in a falling market and with a tenant still in possession at time of exchange. Tenant failed to vacate and Whale Coast obtained an order for possession from Tribunal. Property was left in poor state and John and team rectified all issues with urgency so that settlement was achieved within contract deadlines. Excellent outcome in difficult circumstances.


I was absolutely delighted with the work than John and his team did in selling my house . They left no stone unturned from the minute John first arrived at the house to appraise my home until it was sold - everyone from reception through every aspect of showing the house through to selling my house was helpful , courteous and professional. Being a 76 year old widow with health problems which necessitated my move - all this was really appreciated-I could not of asked for more help.

If found John to be professional, honest and well informed about the local market. He also handled the negotiations tactfully and reasonably. He is a pleasure to deal with.

John is a very, very good professional agent in Narooma, couldn't go past Whalecoast for sales or holiday rental , Chris Eardley, formerly Narooma Golfers Lodge, best wishes John for you future endevour.

Our house was sold during a difficult period where the market was down-turning following a spike. John and his dedicated team worked hard and communicated with us all the way. It is a complex industry where a sales team has to keep ahead of the market and understand it thoroughly. They are dealing with clients who have come to them with one of, if not their largest, asset. That is a responsibility that we felt Whale understood. We were well-informed and guided throughout the process. The house was marketed and presented strongly with professional videos and photos. Selling a family home can have certain anxieties thrown into the mix and Whale were amazingly accommodating while remaining focused on what was to be achieved. Well done to John and his team, and our deepest appreciation.

We found John very professional. We thought his valuation of our unit was out of reach but we were proven otherwise. We wish the new owners all the best and hope they have as many good times as we did.
