Unorganised, unmotivated and inexperienced negotiator

We unfortunately had a very unsatisfactory experience with Kate recently. She was absolutely fabulous until we signed the contract. She was scattered with her communication and dropped the ball multiple times throughout our campaign. We ended up with a satisfactory price so we were purely dissatisfied with her sales and communication skills. She didn’t organise the free window clean that was offered before photos. She refused to do mid week opens after week 2 and didn’t open on weekends as soon as an unconditional offer came through. She pushed us to take the first offer and it was only after we declined the two offers from that buyer that we got another $25k from that buyer and not negotiation skills from Kate herself. In the 7 week campaign we only received 2 sales reports which are supposed to be sent weekly. Both these reports came days late and had to be requested. It felt like she was working for the buyer. She often ignored our direction or feedback. Her sales strategy chopped and changed dozens of times. She would ask for a price drop and then the next day say we need to keep it as is. In the end we had 4 interested parties wanting to put in offers from the first 2 weeks of inspections but they were never followed up so they didn’t have an opportunity to put in an offer until it was too late. Very frustrating experience. Spend your money elsewhere. We are currently going through a different agent for our family home sale and our experience has been nothing but pleasant so far.

Fantastic experience!!

We had a fantastic experience with Kate. From our first meeting, she made us feel at ease and was able to answer our many questions as first time sellers. Kate provided us with a clear plan and was very organised which meant selling was an easy process. Kate is highly recommended and was a pleasure to deal with!

Exceptional Experience

From the outset Kate was attentive and responsive to my needs as a seller. She was available to meet with me and answered all of my questions with patience and a rich understanding of the current market place. Her responses put me at ease without ever making me feel intimidated or overwhelmed. During the process of selling my property Kate provided me with regular, detailed updates around the openings, potential buyers and was always realistically positive about the property and its potentials. The auction was handled brilliantly by Kate and her team - all of the women were supportive and attentive. Kate ran the auction with skill and was perceptive in her respect for all of the bidders; which I firmly believe was part of the reason I achieved such a positive result. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate and her team. The support and attention I received from the initial contact through to the end of sale was exceptional. Thank you Kate.

Sale of property

Thank you Kate for your amazing work. You worked tirelessly to get us the best sale price. Our property was tenanted at the time and you went over and above at making our tenant feel comfortable and achieving a great result! You bent over backwards to take my calls when I felt nervous and you were so kind and put us at ease. If you want a great result with care and understanding contact Kate!

Great local knowledge

We sold our first home with Kate. She was fantastic from beginning to end and really helped us to navigate the process. Kate has a brilliant knowledge of the local market, and a great eye for what will work in an effective campaign. Would highly recommend

Lovely estate agent with excellent local market knowledge

Kate has exceptionally thorough and up to date knowledge of the local property market. As first time vendors, Kate took the time to talk us through the process and advised us on the best approach for selling our house. She set realistic expectations about our property's value in an unpredictable market and ultimately exceeded our expectations. Kate worked very hard to get us the best outcome.

A peoples person

She is very easy to talk to and makes selling a property very easy. Her appraisals are spot on and if you need anything she is more than willing to help. Highly recommend

5-Star all the way!

A sound knowledge of the local area and a passion for real estate; her interest in mid-century design and architecture; plus, her “working Mum” perspective, made Kate Birchall the perfect choice as agent and auctioneer for my unique eastern suburbs property. Kate’s openness, warmth and good humour were invaluable as she helped me navigate the reluctant sale of my beloved home. Through her network, Kate was able to put me in touch with a reliable handyman and staging specialist at short notice to ensure my property was immaculately presented for OFI’s and auction day. On auction day, Kate maintained focus and her enthusiasm when the bidding stalled at $55K below the reserve and she masterfully steered the bidders toward the reserve and beyond - Kate achieved a fantastic result! I can highly recommend Kate for her professionalism and skill as an agent and auctioneer.

Great experience

Kate was very understanding of our circumstances and tailored the sale to suit our needs. The house was sold in two weeks and the sale price exceeded our expectations.
