We have engaged Mark both with a purchase and sale of a home. Through both dealings with Mark he has been a joy to work with. His knowledge of the Real Estate industry is phenomenal and he was able to answer all of our questions and advise us about things that we had not considered. With his help and superior professionalism, the recent sale of our home was smooth, resulting in a very satisfactory and hassle-free process. We highly recommend Mark Ashley to anyone looking for a top notch Agent to assist with the purchase or sale of a property for them.

In a recent "hot" market, our phone calls and emails from other agents were not getting returned when requesting information of local properties in the East Gippsland area. Mark was completely different to other agents as he was professional responding in a timely manner. At the time, COVID restrictions restricted our movement from Melbourne metro to Bairnsdale. Mark flawlessly navigated our query from our first phone call. He took our parents for an inspection on our behalf... as they live in the area. We then received a personalised guided tour via a live What's App stream. We then requested a Setion 32 and it was provided promptly. He also assisted us in coordinating pest and building inspection reports. As soon as we decided to make an offer, it was then that we understood Mark's professionalism and value as a person. There were certain things we said in converesation that we KNEW he was honest in his dealings. I can't ask for much more than that. As buyers we were very pleased to get the property at the price we wanted. We recommend Mark Ashley and when we have a property sale to coordinate in future, we will definitely be in touch.

Mark was professional in all aspects of the property sales, but we were most impressed with the kindness and care that he showed to our tenant who was apprehensive about the sale of the property. We had specific requirements around timing of settlement that required spot on market assessment, which Mark managed well. Estimates of sales values were met or exceeded. We were pleased with the level of communication at all stages of the marketing, sales and settlement processes.

Buying a property through Mark was seamless. He was knowledgeable about the property, easy to get in contact with at all times, and above all really pleasant to deal with. A genuinely nice guy. We felt really confident in making the purchase with the advice and support provided. We would recommend Mark when looking to buy- or sell- a property.

Mark has now assisted us with the sale of one house and the purchase of two, and if we ever sell the one he has just sold us, it will be through him. He is responsive, up front and lives the process with you. He smooths any bumps and works with all parties to make the process as stress free and exciting as possible. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mark was at all times extremely professional and gave great advice on presenting home for sale. This was my first property sale and Mark with his local reputation combined with great understanding of current market conditions gave me confidence that I would get a great sale price. Due to Covid lockdowns we unfortunately had to twice postpone and reschedule auction. With excellent communication, this was a mere bump in the road. All options were put to myself with recommendations as to what potential buyers impacts would be. All round fantastic service from Mark and the whole Elders Bairnsdale team, thank you!!!

Excellent in all categories

Mark was thoughtful, kind and very professional. He kept us up to date with every possible lead. This was important because open days were interrupted by lockdowns. I am pleased to give Mark my highest recommendation.

Mark helped us move on from our unique property and gave great advice about how to market it and present it in a way so that the buyers would value it as much as we did. The photos came up stunning. Nothing was too hard and he was meticulously organised and efficient, often having to coordinate multiple showings back to back to keep everything covid safe during lock downs and out again. Would highly recommend Mark as an agent.

Initially we were unsure whether we wanted to sell or lease our property, but after meeting Mark and hearing his knowledge about the market it made the selling decision easy for us. We were kept up to date with each step of the process and it was really quite seamless! He is a genuinely great person and I am glad we chose him to sell our property. Thank you again!

Great experience, both buying (few years ago) and selling recently with Mark, fast and great results

Having purchased two properties and resold one at auction over a period of about 10 years with Elders Bairnsdale - in particular Mark Ashley - I cannot speak highly enough of every aspect of each sale, in particular, Mark's attention to detail and his enthusiasm.
