We had previous experience with Chisholm and Gamon as the leading agent for bayside Elwood and St Kilda properties. We were fortunate to work with Kainen on the off-market sale of a 2-bed investment property in St Kilda. The entire process - from initial contact queries through to access, tenants, negotiation and paperwork - felt effortless, measured and led to a successful sale at our target price. Given that this sale spanned across two strict Melbourne lockdowns, we credit its success to Kainen’s ability to provide honest, stress-free service, always communicating efficiently, and pleasing both vendor and buyer interests. Highly recommend.

Kainen was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. Being a first time buyer, it can be an intimidating and confusing time. Kainen’s calm and professional manner was reassuring. He was also very friendly and responsive - and took all my questions seriously. I searched for a long time before actually buying, so had met Kainen at more than one inspection- and was delighted that when I did buy- he was managing the sale.

Kainen made everything super easy especially for a naive home seller like me. Informed me of anything I needed to do to help the sale process, otherwise took care of everything and had our best interest at heart. Thank you Kainen & Team

It was hard deciding if this was the right time to sell. After interviewing 4 different agencies, we picked Kainen because he understood our position. He was open and honest from the very outset and ended up becoming our advisor through the process. He left no stone unturned and was across every detail of our property and circumstances. He was also extremely helpful in acquiring timely maintenance works to polish our apartment for sale. Our apartment was sold after the first official inspection when it was on the market. With Kainen's advice, we ran an off-market campaign for a week whilst we got the paperwork ready. It was then listed on the market on Wednesday night and we had offers on Saturday after the first on-market inspection. We certainly wouldn't have been able to navigate through this process, especially in this COVID climate, if it wasn't for Kainen's expertise. We are thrilled with the result and couldn't recommend Kainen highly enough.

Kainen worked with me to sell my property during the difficult COVID 19 times. Despite the obstacles that this presented, he persevered and got a great result given the circumstances. He communicated with me, keeping me abreast of all the details, in a timely manner. He was always available when I needed him. Kainen worked hard to sell the property - thanks Kainen.

Kainen Schrape has been directly involved in the process of selling my apartment which he successfully achieved in June of 2020. He has at all times conducted himself with the utmost professionalism. I especially liked that he responded to all my messages and requests promptly and kept me updated as to the progress of the sale. He was at all times supportive and understanding of the many challenges I faced and he selling my apartment. Over time we developed a working relationship which resulted in a win win outcome. He is a huge asset to Chisholm & Gamon

Kainen took the time to really understand our circumstances and tailored a strategy to suit us. He is a fantastic communicator and very clearly explains options, while using his experience to give guidance about likely outcomes. Kainen has an excellent understanding of the property market. He always gives feedback when he says he will and worked very hard to achieve a great outcome for us.

In a difficult market, Kainen's careful assessment and judgement lead to a stellar result that others, even in his own office, thought was not possible. His relaxed manner, thorough knowledge of the market, his sensible and practical advice that targeted what was required without costly and unnecessary baggage and his ability to work with and understand the needs of his client underpin the reasons why I am so pleased that he presented my property to the market.

My family recently sold my mum's apartment in Elwood. After interviewing a few agents we decided to engage Kainen Schrape from Chisholm and Gamon. This turned out to be a fantastic decision. Through email and phone calls Kainen keep us up to date with the whole process. He was even able to help us with cleaning and rubbish removal. Thanks for making a difficult process a lot easier. I would not hesitate to recommend Kainen to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Elwood area.

As a buyer my experience dealing with Kainen was very transparent, honest and friendly. Kainen was always available to assist me with my questions and made me feel valued as a buyer - which was in stark contrast to another few agents I have 'had' to deal with. I will happily use Kainen as my selling agent in the future as a Vendor. THANK YOU Kainen for helping me into my first home!

Kainen did a fine job in supporting us with selling our property. He was honest, highly communicative, proactive and flexible with his approach. He took the time to make sure we were comfortable with how the campaign was going, never made us feel like we were asking too many questions and patient at all times. He showed strong market knowledge and left us with the confidence that we would have a successful result. Covid 19 did not help but despite this, we were very happy with the outcome.

Great approach and always on point
