The moment I laid eyes on the property appraisal, I knew Rae was the girl for the job. The whole process was made easy, from beginning to end, Rae has experience and insight and I would not hesitate to recommend Rae.
As a buyer Rae did a couple of things that were very helpful and beyond what I expected. Firstly we needed a loan to buy the house and therefore the bank needed to value the house. Rae arranged (in consultation with the incumbent tenants) to meet the valuers to let them in and show them around, and she also showed them some of the unsuccessful written offers to buy the house so that the valuers were assured that our offer was not above market value. Therefore the valuation process went smoothly. Secondly at multiple times throughout the process Rae liaised with our mortgage broker and also to a lesser extent with our lawyers when they needed some information about the property that I didn't have. Rae also liaised with the seller whenever there were minor adjustments that needed to be made to the contract (the settlement period extended over Christmas, and the seller's lawyers knocked off for Christmas a week earlier than my lawyers did), so that everyone was reassured and agreeable and nobody was anxious or disagreeable. I'm very happy with her and would definitely look her up if I wanted to sell something.
Rae has this amazing ability to instil confidence and trust from the very first time you meet her. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very honest and upfront. I was very impressed with how she just took the lead and kept us updated every step of the way. She goes above and beyond to ensure your experience of selling is as easy and stress-free as possible. She organised window cleaners, tradesmen and her building inspection report to present to prospective buyers is such a brilliant idea. Rae is professional, dedicated, thorough and committed to her clients. She worked very hard to seal the deal for us and I can’t thank her enough. I would absolutely recommend Rae above all other agents I have encountered.
Rae is very knowledgeable in her business to buyer and seller. Puts you at ease and is helpful in every way as I was an Interstate buyer and with limited time to purchase a house. We came to an agreement and it was executed very quickly. Very happy .certainly recommend her to do business with. Well done Rae Smith.
We have had the best experience with Rae selling our rental property. She has been very professional, highly skilled with property sales plus friendly and caring of us and our tenants living in the property. Having a building inspection before going to market was great, giving us an opportunity to fix minor things which then helped with the sale. Rae has kept us well informed right through the process. We would highly recommend Rae to anyone needing a highly professional and enthusiastic realestate agent to sell their property.
Very honest friendly and great real estate knowledge in this market. Is their to help, not just the seller, but buyers as well. Highly recommend
Why do I say this ? I have sold a lot of houses over the years . What I was looking for in an agent was, a sound Professional . , Ethical ....special expertise in the local market ( Rae has lived experience in Launceston ) plus aI wanted one with considerable experience in Real Estate in Tasmania and interstate. Rae ticked all of these boxes . I am 75 and not in the best of physical health . ( Read as old, anxious , opinionated , control freak ) When I first met Rae .. I could not envisage how I could possibly manage a 'normal ' house sale let alone , downsize (considerably ):prepare my house for sale ,and achieve what I thought it was worth ! Right from the start , Rae was warm , empathetic and sensitive to my needs . Always supportive and available, beyond my expectations . Initially she said " I will take care of everything " She absolutely did . Seamlessly and stress free. Everything ! She coordinated all of the downsizing process ,the maintenance, painting updating gardening etc etc . This whole process felt like a complete partnership . In addition Rae's flexibility ,and brilliant communication skills ... with cleaners , contractors , people downsizing , multiple tradesmen , The house was prepared and up for sale in no time . Always respectful of my limited budget her professional advise re. what and not to do ) to maximise the potential of the house without unnecessary outlay . Once on the market, it was a respectful , calm process , with no stress and mutually agreed upon times . etc. Good prompt accurate insightful feedback from Rae post viewings Sold in 3 days at a price I was very happy with . I could not have done it with Rae. I believe anyone could trust Rae to sell their house in the shortest period of time with maximum results even if the owners were not in the State . Totally trustworthy. What should have been my most difficult house sale of my life was the least stressful !
Working with Rae was a fantastic experience. She made what could have easily been a stressful experience a very easy and enjoyable one. All while selling our property for us while we were interstate. Her professionalism and knowledge combined with her friendly nature makes for a good experience for both buyers and sellers. Rae was recommended to us and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others
What can I say Rae is professional, extremely knowledgeable and one of the most caring real estate agents we have come across. From the word go we felt so comfortable. Rae kept us informed through the whole process. Helping with paperwork and making correspondence very easy as we were 2 hours away from the office. We explained why we were buying the property and how important it was and she passed this onto to owners for their consideration and for that we are truly great full. It is very rare these days to find people that will go the extra mile for you, well we definitely found a gem in Rae. I would highly recommend Rae to anyone who is considering buying or selling their home, her approach to her work is outstanding. Thank you so much Rae, my daughter is very happy 🥰
This is our second property we had listed with Rae ,once again it was a smooth no fuss sale . We would highly recommend her to anybody ,she has excellent knowledge and gave great advice which helped us achieve a terrific result .Rae always goes that extra mile and that is why we would call on her again because she is the best at what she does ,cant thank her enough
We have recently bought an investment property through Rae Smith and it has been seamless, she has taken good care of us in pre and post sales, very proactive in delivering best results for both us and owners. Highly recommend her.
It has taken me 12 months to purchase a property. In this current competitive market I can not rate my experience with Rae highly enough. She values both parties and took the time to assist, which I struggled to find with other real estates.
