Mark's vast experience and knowledge in Surry Hills, provided me with the best possible opportunities and exposure to sell my unit quickly and with great result.
Mark Foy worked so hard for me, from his successful marketing and strategy campaign, to his professional reporting, the volume of people that viewed my home, the potential buyers feedback, to the traffic online which was phenomenal and so was the auction day. Post sale to settlement Mark has been there, 7 Stars. His successful social media platforms were so effective. These video stories were bespoke and tailored to my rare 19C double-fronted Surry Hills warehouse (perfectly directed and scripted drone videography). The campaign's outreach was really impressive and extremely creative which then resulted in an excellent selling price. Mark Foy's uniqueness is clear to see, he’s the package: his delivers professional real estate expertise, he's a seasoned auctioneer, his professional property knowledge is vast and adding to this list, he has a longstanding presence in Surry Hills-it's neighbouring areas and why I went with Mark. I also liked Mark Foy's clear and structured business transparency, when he sent his proposal though it included GST (as is required) whereas the others in the area didn't. The Bourke Street auction day was amazing, very busy, bidding was strong and buyers were really present and engaged. Thank you Mark Foy McGrath REA, what a day!
Belle Property Surry Hills are a smart, professional outfit that have captured the market of all the best properties in the area. The team are a hard-working, highly capable group that are very personable and extremely pleasant to deal with. Their preparation and punctuality during the viewing process was highly appreciated. I have nothing but high commendations for all of the members of the team and I can safely recommend their service to both buyers and vendors alike.
Fantastic experience with Mark Foy and the whole Team Foy at Belle. Honest discussion and evaluation in the sit down that resulted in taking the property to sale. But the key to mention here is that Mark took the time over the last ~5 years to stay close, ask questions and be informed of what we were up to property wise. This built great loyalty and respect and meant we knew we had a trusted partner to work with through our sales process. Highly recommend the team for honest advice, really proactive sales activity and they delivered exactly as they said they would.
Such a great experience. Lots of support through the whole process
The Good: - The support team were organised, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Maddy especially is a superstar!! - Experience: Mark is clearly very experienced and has a confident/warm/commanding presence - Communication: Mark communicated clearly and regularly - Advice: Mark gave great advice on the improvements required to the property to maximise desirability - Fees: No complaints - Ultimate Outcome: The price achieved was fantastic and surpassed our expectations. Mark did a great job negotiating in the final stage of the process. The Not so Good: The process didn't feel easy and was quite stressful. The interactions with Mark were strained at times with 2-3 long, tense calls over the journey. - Price Guide: I clearly indicated that we did not have to sell and would only do so if we reached above a certain number. Despite this my price expectations were managed down from early on. I felt pressure to look at offers below this. A lot of fear tactics were used throughout the journey. My impression is that the key driver for them doing 80% of their sales prior to auction is for their own efficiency. - Having just completed a year long property development course focused on using data for suburb analysis and comparable sales etc, I was well on top of this side of things and spent many hours analysing this for my unit. I did not appreciate comments like "all owners think their place is special" and worse requests to speak to my husband when I challenged Mark on numbers (my husband wasn't involved in the sale) - A key reason I chose Belle/Mark was that I wanted to the guide close to my price expectations having wasted much time over the years on low ballers. They indicated this is how they did business. However we had multiple heated discussions on this topic and in the end the property sold for 270k over their recommended guide (which I fought to increase). - Communication post exchange (around pre settlement inspection timing, keys, furniture pickup etc)
Blair and his team worked quickly to help me buy this property which I really appreciated. On the day of settlement, Blair made it feel like a special occasion which matched the significance of that moment. Would recommend.
We recently worked with Blair & Mark to purchase our property, and we cannot recommend their services highly enough! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, and efficient, thanks to their expert guidance and support. Both were an absolute pleasure to work with and went above and beyond. They were always available to answer our questions, offer advice, and provide valuable insights. Overall, we are thrilled with our experience and would recommend them to anyone in the market for a new home or selling. Thank you, we couldn't be happier with the outcome!
Mark, Blair and the team at Belle Property provided excellent service. The high level of attention to us was second to none. We were treated as though we were their most valuable customers, and we are very grateful for the professionalism with which they managed the sale of our property on our behalf. We sincerely thank you all for your outstanding efforts!!!!
Dealing with Blair Cardile was an absolute delight. He was always frank and up front with me and I felt comfortable expressing our property needs with him. Blair is the first and only agent I dealt with where I felt he wanted the best outcome for all parties, he is a great negotiator and an agent I could trust. Very much looking forward to dealing with Blair again when we are back in the market for another property.
I had a great experience with Ted and Bel Property generally. His communication was excellent. I also noticed that the viewings hosted by Bel Property had a more genuine and polished feel to them.
Mark Foy and his team did a stellar job once again. They cannot be faulted at any stage of their very-oiled sale process. The sale price was on the lower side of what we had hoped but this is a reflection of the current market conditions, and not of their level of expertise and professionalism. They really set the bar high for other real estate agents.
