Kim provided an estimate market sale price range of between $550K-$600; so I signed with her. However, the property sold for only $500K. Communication was mostly via short abbreviated text messages from Kim. When I attempted to immediately return one of these texts via a phone call one morning to properly discuss, the call went straight to voice mail. (Kim said she was still having breakfast). However, it was urgent regarding an error date Kim had entered on the form for the release of the deposit - which was AFTER the Settlement date! The purchaser had also at the 11th hour requested some potted plants be removed. However, by now I was now interstate, so this made things very difficult - as they could have asked for this earlier, with time to arrange. Kim requested their removal. Yet, the purchaser didn't mind keeping the other unsecured items left for them, such as: spare oven element replacement, whipper-snipper, hedge trimmer, spare paint, instruction manuals, etc. Kim also instructed the maintenance man that I had organized to do some last minute work, to do additional work - without asking me first - yet I was paying for his services.

Over the last 12 years Kim has sold 2 properties for me and both times exceed my expectations on the final sale price. She kept me well informed at all times. I found Kim very professional and knowledgeable in what was happening in the real estate market in my particular area. She was very helpful in tips to get the best price for my property. Even at the final negotiations Kim was working very hard and exceeded my expectations on price once again. Thank you so much Kim.

Kim very approachable and honest and was alway contactable , regardless time or day. No issue recommending Kim for any potnetial property sales.

Kim Jarvie-Pridham has now sold four homes for us over the past decade and once again she has shown that she is an outstanding and very successful real estate agent. We were extremely happy with the service she provided to us during our most recent house sale. The price achieved met our expectations and did justice to the quality of the home and its presentation. Kim’s knowledge of the housing market in the Eltham area is extensive and we feel this contributed to her effectively advising us on how to prepare the house for sale and the most appropriate selling method to employ. She gave very plausible reasons for each piece of advice. During the selling period, Kim kept us informed on the outcomes of house openings and the level of interest of potential buyers. She followed up with all attendees at each house opening and this made us feel assured that she was continually and accurately gauging the market. To bring the sale to a conclusion, Kim demonstrated an excellent sense of timing and skilfully handled the negotiations regarding the final price and settlement date. Kim has excellent people skills. In our interactions with her, she was able to develop a professional relationship based on trust, confidentiality, humour, empathy, enthusiasm, insight, competence and high ethical standards. We have no hesitation in recommending Kim Jarvie-Pridham as a real estate agent of the highest calibre. Thanks so much Kim! Cameron & Yvonne McPhie

We found Kim to be one of the most pushy, inflexible and inappropriate real estate agents we have ever encountered. Kim's hassling during the negotiation process led us very close to withdrawing our offer completly. As one example there was a morning during the negotiation that we had 3 missed calls and several SMSs before 6 am, demanding we sign an offer that we were not comfortable with. Her bullishness almost lost the vendor the sale. She also spoke often beyond her knowledge. For example she told us a safety switch had been installed (it had not), Council would pay for weed removal on private land (they will not), and the roof had never leaked (it had). The seller may have had a more positive experience, but from a buyers perspective I would absolutely recommend you avoid dealing with Kim.

I drove by the house, 30 Stanhope Street Eltham before I made contact to speak to the sales Agency to ask for a private viewing. The agent, Ms Kim Jarvie- Pridam organised a scheduled time for myself and building inspector relative to make our appraisal of the property and we both communicated to each other later that the assistance we received was professional and helpful without the unnecessary gloss of the sales technique we have numbed ourselves against.

Kim is personable and was professional and responsive in our purchase of the property from the vendors she was representing. She knows the Eltham and surrounding market well and has a long history of successful outcomes.

Selling your home can be a stressful time, so it was important for us to find the right real estate agent who could make the selling process easier and less stressful for us and our family with minimal disruption. We first met Kim Jarvie-Pridham from Barry Plant real estate Eltham over fifteen years ago. Since then Kim has sold five of our property's for us and sold us one too! Over the years we have found Kim to always be honest with us, ethical and friendly. Each time Kim has guided us through the whole selling process, assisting with the photos, copywriting, floor plans and advising what marketing style would be best for our type of home. In March 2015 we decided to sell our current home by set sale. This is usually a four week campaign. Kim sold our home after only two weeks on the market! We received three offers and achieved a sale price which far exceeded our expectations. We can highly recommend Kim Jarvie-Pridham and the team from Barry Plant Eltham and I know they will give you like they did us, the red carpet Experience! Regards, Lee & Peter Levens
