Leighton was very professional and kept me informed throughout the whole process. He has a thorough knowledge of the West Ryde area. I felt confident from the start that Leighton was the right person to act as my agent. Even though it was an uncertain market, Leighton was able to sell my unit quickly at the price I was looking for.
In a fast changing market it’s difficult to know how and when to sell a property. From the start we knew we’re not in the best position and a bit underprepared. Speaking to a few agents, it was clear that Leighton showed an impressive experience and knowledge of the local area. He understands the demographic, buyer’s taste and literally has a mind map of the pricing history of properties nearby. That allows us to make the right moves quickly. Along the way, Leighton gave timely advice so we can make well informed judgements to achieve our bigger goals. Working with him you understand he’d always aim for excellence for his clients. His ability to discern the market and people’s needs helped finding the right buyer in a limited time window. I can’t imagine doing this with other agents at the same level of satisfaction.
Despite running through challenging times, Leighton and the team went above and beyond to deliver a great result.
From the moment we engaged Leighton as our selling agent, he has exceeded expectations. From his high degree knowledge of the market and property types in the area to his conservative yet practical marketing approach. As selling a property can be an emotional process, we were surprised by his professionalism, prompt actions and responses to requests, as well as understanding to all parties needs. We would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to engage him again in future if the need arises.
Our first meeting with Leighton it was clear he was the right person to sell our place. Leighton knew the area inside and out and how to market it, gave us realistic expectations and full of knowledge that we didn't think about, he was able to use this to create a plan/strategy for us. Leighton guided us all the way through the process from start to finish, making it seem easy, which removed any stress we had. Always on time, always followed up afterwards, never lost sight of our goal and actively worked towards them, applied his knowledge and techniques to achieve what we wanted. We are looking forward to working with Leighton again!
Having previously worked in a real estate agency (albeit 10 years ago) and having dealt with numerous agents over the course of buying a selling 8 different properties, I can say without a doubt, Leighton is the most proficient, most genuine and highest performing agent that I have ever met. My wife and I are so, so glad we sold with him - not once were we ever wondering where the process was up to - he always kept us informed and provided great advice during these recent changes in the market. Everything ran perfectly to plan and his negotiating skills netted us a very impressive result. He is one of those rare gems of a person who actually delivers more than what they say they will do.
What I like most about Leighton is that he tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. This helped set my expectations when selling my property which ended up being exceeded! Thanks Leighton!
Leighton's accurate estimates on spending to improve value of unit and for a quick sale, far outweighs the cost of those works. His connection with trades persons is invaluable and he manages the improvements (large or small) from start to finish and happy to work within your budget. He is always prompt to answer any queries or problems. He knows the market and understands the psychology of buyers. He is quick to know who is a genuine buyer as opposed to a buyer not ready to purchase. We are extremely grateful to Leighton and so glad we chose him.
Leighton is very knowledgeable and passionate in real-estate. I was impressed by his deep understanding about the pros/cons and selling points of my property as well as the comparison with surrounding properties when we met the first time. He answered my questions and walked through all the processes and costs with me patiently so I had a very clear picture in selling my property at the very beginning. It wasn't hard for me to decide selecting Leighton as my real estate agent not only because of his professionalism but also because of his confidence. He's even told me he didn't need 3 months as exclusive period on the selling contract, 60 days would be enough for him to sell my property. Surprisingly, it ended up with having my property sold out right after the first open inspection with a good price which indeed saved a lot of my time and energy... I think I've made a right choice this time and I will not hesitate to recommend Leighton to my friends!
Leighton and the team are honestly amazing! Leighton is honest, knowledgeable and reliable he went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale and kept us up to date with everything! I would not hesitate at all to recommend Leighton as your real estate agent.
Prior to engaging Leighton I had never dealt with him nor Award Group Real Easte however I have to say I was nothing short of blown away with his professionalism, knowledge, friendly & caring approach. At no point did I feel pressed in fact quite the opposite... the entire process was seamless & stress free
