We have had considerable experience with most area estate agents over the past 30 years and there was no shortage of agents keen to act on this sale. Initially I agreed to a 30 day off-market campaign with two local agents ahead of any formal marketing campaign. I then selected Marize Bellomo for a formal campaign. While we had not previously used Marize we had always been very impressed by the way she promoted other properties we had inspected. Marize presented us with a clear, well thought out strategy specifically tailored to our apartment. This wasn’t simply a case of finding a buyer, but included a complete internal and garden refresh and styling of the property, all while we were overseas. We not only got Marize, also sales associate Maddy Corrigan and executive assistant Amalia Rosi. Marize and team seamlessly delivered a “go to whoa” service in 4 weeks, from charming our tenant to allow early access, to choosing carpet, paint colours and lights, to supervising all tradespeople, even making personal trips to Bunnings, all with a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude. The results were simply stunning, friends say unrecognisable. Marize obtained a strong offer in 2 weeks, substantially higher than the pre-campaign offer, immediately demonstrating the effectiveness of Marize’s strategy. While some agents make you feel they have become buyer advocates once an offer comes in, Marize supported my decision to reject the offer and returned to negotiate a significant increase and my nominated price within 48 hours. Contracts were exchanged the following day. This would be more than deserving of an outstanding testimonial, but Marize and team have also gone on to provide outstanding after sales service by volunteering to co-ordinate tradespeople in preparation for settlement. We can’t speak highly enough of Marize and her team and would not hesitate to use them again. Our enthusiasm extends to offering to speak to anyone considering engaging Marize and her team.
