very dissapointing seller and deprived of the right price

we had an incredibly dissapointing experience working with Oliver to sell my apartment.His strategy was completely ineffective,he failed to generate the necessary interest to secure a successful sale To make matters worse, he only came for 5 to 10 minutes most at the opening leaving his associate alone,He always arrived late and the lack of respect for my property, because it's only an humble 2 bed. and not a mansion so not the same service. despite having a large instagram following he choose not to uused it to promoote my listing giving the impression that he deemed my apartment too humble to feature on his profile. every property deserves maximum effort,, regardeless of the price bracket and to make matter worse he did told me that he will make a feature on his instagram. We expected a proactive.polished professional to represent my property instead his associate did the work. We received an average performance and he then pushed us incredibly hard to settle for an offer lower then he had originally promised, he just wanted to move on to the next property

Dear Nadia, While I respect that you were disappointed with the outcome, I do not agree with the suggestion that the property was undersold or that the campaign was poorly executed. The result achieved was extremely strong in the context of the market at the time. The campaign was conducted in line with the strategy discussed and agreed upon. The team and I executed on what we said we would do throughout the process. Importantly, buyer interest was limited, largely due to the significant upcoming capital works that were not yet completed and were unknown when the property was listed. This was a material consideration for prospective purchasers and directly impacted the level of competition we could generate. Despite this, we remained committed to achieving the strongest possible outcome. We negotiated extensively with the eventual purchaser, including continuing negotiations late into the evening, to ensure every opportunity was explored to maximise the final price. This commitment to the negotiation resulted in us achieving $150,000 more than the previous offer received at auction. The suggestion that we simply pushed you to accept an offer because we wanted to move on to the next property does not reflect the process that took place. Our focus throughout the negotiations was achieving the best result available from the market we were dealing with. It is also important to distinguish between an outcome that may have fallen short of your personal expectations and an outcome that was reflective of the market. Since your sale, market conditions have become even more challenging, with a number of owners subsequently experiencing substantially larger reductions in value and considerably weaker results. We appreciate that you may have hoped for a different outcome, I believe the campaign was professionally managed, the agreed strategy was delivered and the final result represented a strong outcome given the circumstances. Best, Oliver Lavers
