Having interviewed several agents prior to putting our apartment on the market Nick was a clear favourite from the outset. He didn’t give us hour long marketing sales pitches, he was honest, professional and gave us excellent advice about the current market, when to sell and what to expect. He also provided us with recent, relevant sales in the area to guide our expectations. Once we had signed up with Nick and PPD, it was clear from the beginning of the campaign we had made the right choice. Nicks team from the photographer, to the copy writer and fellow agents, particularly Tom were outstanding to deal with. Nicks open, honest communication throughout the campaign was second to none and he was always available to chat. Nick delivered an outstanding result on our apartment and we couldn’t recommend working with him enough.
Nick's reviews
My partner and I are very appreciative of Nick Quilkey's patient, persistent and professional efforts in effectively managing the recent challenging mid-Winter sale of our long term family home at Queens Park. Nick was thoroughly professional, persistent, courteous, diligent and attentive throughout, achieving a successful outcome meeting our needs. He took responsibility and ownership of the campaign, assisting us in organising the various services required to effectively and efficiently prepare the property so that it presented optimally at all times. He also was careful in following up all leads, in devising strategies, and in attentively maintaining effective feedback and communication with us throughout to ensure we, and our prospective buyers, were kept fully informed, with concerns taken on board and addressed in a timely and considerate manner. We have no hesitation in recommending Nick to other prospective vendors or purchasers seeking to avail of the intelligence, professionalism, integrity and proven expertise that characterise the work of this consummate and dynamic real estate professional.
After deciding to sell I found it really difficult to pick which agent to use. They all had great pitches and promised the world. It felt like they all did the same thing until Nick boiled it down to this: The more buyers that see my property, the higher my sale price. Simple. That seems very logical to me from a market demand perspective. So which agency could do this the best? Agents only meet buyers at other open homes (buyers don't know on shopfronts any more, they turn up to inspections after seeing the web advert). Because of this it made it really easy to figure out who has the biggest buyer database for my house - the more sales they had done previously in my price point $2,800,000) the more buyers they would have. PPD were the market leaders in the eastern suburbs and its east to find the data that shows they sell so much more than everyone else. This meant they had more buyers to send my property to. Fast forward to the first open home and we had 35 groups through which created tremendous urgency. Fast forward again to when we sold pre auction; the buyer was originally looking in Clovelly but PPD and Nick convinced them to inspect my house in Queens Park. Without them its fact that buyer would never have seen my house and achieved $150,000 more than I was hoping Don't listen to the fluff, make sure you follow the facts and you swill get the best price. Thanks Nick and PPD
It was an asset to have Nick mange our property purchase. Nick made himself readily available to answer queries and always on hand to assist expedite the process. Professional and efficient which made the process very easy.
We recently purchased a property sold by Nick after it was only on the market for 10 days. Nick was at all times responsive, transparent, professional & courteous. We particularly appreciated the transparent and fair way bidding was handled by Nick prior to the auction with three interested parties communicating with him by email.
We first met Nick at the open house and he was very helpful in telling us about the property in more detail (while still looking after everyone else!). We had been looking for a while and this place finally ticked all the boxes. We made our decision to buy that day. Nick was very quick to respond to all of our queries (including on the weekend and in the evening) and in assisting to progress the sale process, coordinating smoothly with us, the vendor, solicitors etc. One week later and we had secured our dream house. We would highly recommend Nick to other buyers and sellers. Thanks so much Nick!
Throughout the buying process Nick was patient and approachable. He was a pleasure to deal with, thank you Nick.
I have dealt with Nick over the past few years while looking for our perfect family home. I have an infinitely picky partner and we’ve managed to secure the perfect place through Nick. Nick has always been excellent to deal with, he is highly responsive but not pushy or “salesy” like most real estate agents are. He has acted with integrity in all our dealings with him and I would have no hesitation recommending him - in fact, I’ve already recommended him to some work colleagues. Thanks Nick for all your help - it’s been a pleasure dealing with you.
Nick is a hard working, reliable and has excellent communication skills. He goes the extra mile. I would recommend him to family and friends and would have him as my real estate agent again. 5 stars!
Nick was great to work with. Transparent and very accommodating of our buying requests which included multiple viewings and many questions. It was clear to us that Nick wanted to ensure a good price for the vendor but also a good fit for our family. Selling agents like Nick are a pleasure to work with and I hope I can buy again from Nick one-day-soon (well not that soon!)
Nick was great to deal with. Great communication and attentive throughout. Thanks again
