Karen and Edward were a great team. Honest and knowledgable about the complex and market, a no nonsense approach. Much to our surprise we sold not, one, but two townhouses on the same day. Great work, Edward managed all the interested parties professionally, we all came away satisfied. Karen made sure that it was a smooth process. I would recommend them to everyone I know.
I found Karen and Edward very friendly, accommodating, helpful and courteous in their dealings with me and my son during the inspection times. We were slightly disappointed in the time it took to find a genuine buyer, compared to other properties on the Gold Coast, however, we are happy with the end result. Best wishes for a successful year. Regards, Elly
We purchased our townhouse in April 2016 and then due to change of circumstances needed to sell it again in September. We were impressed with Karen when we purchased the townhouse so Karen and Edward were our first choice to re sell the townhouse. There were 5 townhouses for sale in the complex and ours was the only one to sell. We sold the townhouse for more than we paid for it which helped cover costs. We signed to list for sale 27th of September and the new buyers settled 18th November. Karen and Edward were very professional in helping us style the property for sale, giving direction on removal of furnishing items and furniture arrangement. Throughout the sale process Karen and Edward showed every possible buyer the property both at open homes and private viewings.
Thanks to Karen & Stewart, you guys were very professional in your dealing with us. You were able to move forward settlement date that suited us with minium of fuss. I think you acted well for both us and the seller to get the best deal that both parties were happy with. Good luck in the future. Regards Andre & Suz
We knew Karen from 7 years ago when we purchased the property. Karen has a great knowledge of the area, especially Benowa Waters. We really appreciated her professional approach and commitment to working for the vendor. Her experience and advise on presenting our property was much appreciated and proved invaluable. Overall we were very pleased with her commitment, communication and negotiating skills. We would not hesitate to recommend Karen as a trustworthy and very experienced agent.
I have great pleasure in submitting a reference for Karen Stewart and Edward Smyth from McGrath Real Estate. From the outset I found these agents surpassed my expectations of the "average agent". These guys individually and collectively had a genuine desire to "work for the seller". Their negotiated structured commission required them to achieve top dollar and beyond for the property to in turn achieve their initial commission offer...They did it hands down and in doing so, gained a far higher price than I even thought possible. Effectively they sold my property commission free in my eyes. The financial side of selling a house is the main concern to a seller, however, the tenacity in which these guys hunted down that buyer and pushed them to the final sell price was phenomenal. The quality of their professionalism, negotiation skills, client feedback, strategy and dedication was quite frankly astonishing. "Gone are the days of having to be sceptical about your agent when you are selling" is how these agents left me feeling. Not to mention eternally grateful for the way conducted themselves and stuck steadfast to their word from start to finish. What a fine asset they are to the McGrath agency and brand name. I personally will be pushing the name to everyone I know. What a brilliant experience it has been dealing with these extremely talented individuals. I would like to personally thank the McGrath group for making these brilliant agents available to me. Absolutely outstanding! I will say one thing though, I would sell with them every day of the week... Never, never would I buy from them, as I know I'd be paying top dollar. Outstanding effort guys. Thank you so much. Dan Croke.
Karen and Edward's positive energy kept us believing that we would have an excellent outcome. Their professionalism was outstanding.
Karen and Edward are trustworthy agents. They are professional and proactive, assisting us to get our dreaming house and helping us to settle down in this new city.
Very grateful that I made a call to Karen with an enquiry. She was very positive on our initial chat and gave me advice without pressuring me into making a decision there and then. The effort that she went to for advertising photos, I believe was a helping hand in the quick sale of my property, not to many other agents if any would of done the same. Communication was excellent throughout the sale and the effort was massive, not only towards me but the buyer who received great help and assistance with a couple of personal issues. Can not thank her enough it has helped me and my family greatly and would not hesitate for a second to give her another lisiting in the future with her proven knowledge of real estate and geniue want to help attitude. Kind regards Anthony.
We recently engaged Karen and Edward to sell our home in Benowa waters, Qld. They were successful and we were extremely happy with their professional service. Karen has extensive experience as a real estate on the Gold Coast and has a well justified excellent reputation in this area. We had previously bought our home from Karen 9 years ago and were very impressed with her service back then, which is why we chose to engage her and Edward to sell our home. Karen and Edward make a great team and really complement each other. Karen brings her extensive knowledge of real estate and the local market and Edward brings knowledge and experience in utilizing information technology and optimising marketing potentials. We found them both to be very good communicators, honest and genuine, very diligent and hard working, enthusiastic, well organized and very pleasant to deal with at all times. We really could not recommend Karen and Edward any higher and would most certainly use their services again and will be recommending them to friends and family.
Karen Stewart and Edward Smyth were both highly attentive and professional in assisting me to find a suitable property to purchase. Available at all hours with any questions I had and always so helpful in the whole process of buying including arranging a great finance broker and recommending a very efficient Solicitor. Over all a great experience dealing with them both.
