Great communication, poor overall result,

I found Mel to be pleasant in her manner; she responded to questions in a timely manner. However, overall I felt that my needs and concerns as the homeowner were not prioritised throughout the process. During inspections, items in my house were damaged, which was distressing. What I found particularly difficult was that when I raised this, there did not seem to be a clear understanding of why this was upsetting. I did not feel that my concerns were fully acknowledged or taken seriously. At the same time, I felt that there was a stronger focus on ensuring that potential buyers felt comfortable in my home, rather than balancing that with protecting my comfort, belongings, and sense of security. This left me feeling overlooked in a process that directly impacted me. Additionally, the property ultimately sold for less than the initial valuation provided, which added to my overall disappointment with the experience. More than anything, I felt that my concerns were not truly listened to, and that there was a lack of empathy at key points throughout the process. Selling a home is both financially and emotionally significant, and I would have expected a more balanced, respectful, and client-focused approach.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'm pleased to hear that you felt communication was timely and clear throughout the campaign. This is something that I place a high priority on. I'm truly sorry for the distress you felt during inspections. Opening your home to people is difficult, and I genuinely felt terrible that a child damaged and disrespected your belongings. There are lessons in this, I will take with me moving forward. In relation to the sale result, I can appreciate that you are disappointed in the result. Throughout the campaign all offers were conveyed to you including one within the range. Ultimately, the time constraints and buyer feedback is what determined the sale price. I also acknowledge that selling a home, particularly during challenging personal circumstances, can be an extremely emotional process. My intention is always to balance achieving the best possible outcome with respect and care for my clients, and I'm sorry to hear that you felt this wasn't achieved at all times. I wish you all the best moving forward.
