Sale of house in O'Connor, ACT
It is with great pleasure that we provide a reference for Maria Selleck. As a real estate agent Maria is simply the best!
We had bought a new house just before Christmas, and needed to look for an agent to sell our existing home early in the New year. We had real difficulties getting real estate agents to respond to our queries in January. The only agent that promptly came back to us was Maria. We were impressed that Maria called us from Europe, where she was holidaying, to tell us that she really wanted our business. She quickly organised for information to be dropped over to our house, including a stack of glowing references from past clients.
We did get quotes from other agents. While Maria was at the high end of the commission fees, we felt that she was going to work hard to achieve a great result for us. What set Maria apart from other agents (who all assured that they could easily our home in a buoyant market) was her commitment to get the very best price possible for our home. She recommended that we go to Tender rather Auction. You should ask Maria for an explanation of how this option could also work for you.
From the moment we signed up to sell our house Maree worked with us to make sure we presented our home in the best possible manner. This included deciding colours for repainting using stylists to decorate the house, and being personally involved in the photo shoot. As we were keen to sell our house quickly. Maria came up with a 3 week marketing campaign in print and online. She also made suggestions about exhibiting on other days rather just Saturdays, including on Sunday's to maximise exposure. During the sale process Maria kept us 100% informed of how many enquiries she had received - emails, phone calls, contracts sent out, and the numbers of people who inspected. It all worked! After only 10 days and three open house exhibitions Maria sold our house. She sold it for an amount that was well beyond our expectations.
