Would not hesitate in recommending Richard Barlow (Belle). Very professional and trustworthy. They work hard to ensure all parties are satisfied. Special thank you to Sarah who went out of her way to assist me with this purchase.
Richard and Jordan got my listing up really quickly on short notice. Communications were very good throughout and the property was sold for about what I expected fairly quickly. Service after the sale was excellent also with Richard going above and beyond to get me my keys when I came into town. Thanks Richard and Jordan!
Richard went above and beyond to achieve a great sale price within a short time frame. Proactive to lock in open homes, get buyers through, report on buyers and feedback, and ultimately to get maximum market exposure and sale price. THANKS
My husband and I honestly could not think of anything we would have liked Richard to do better. Richard is the upmost professional and a man of integrity. If you are looking for an agent in New Farm or Teneriffe in particular, look no further. Even in a tough market Richard achieved a very quick sale, at a great price and without the stress or expense of open homes! We could not have asked for more. Richard has excellent communication skills. He knows exactly how to connect with the right potential buyers and keep them engaged - a skill that can make the difference of getting a sale across the line. Richard ensures all parties remain informed throughout the selling/buying process. He is very clear and always follows through on his word; he has a honest, no nonsense approach that is refreshing to find and instills confidence. Nothing is too difficult for Richard and he makes himself available - at no stage did we feel we had to "chase" him for information or updates which is most certainly not the case with all agents. Richard's experience in the industry and the area are particularly evident. Richard has worked hard to build an extensive network that is an asset to any seller as even before advertising you have access to potential buyers! His knowledge of the area and market activity enables Richard to quickly build trust and respect with potential buyers and articulate a properties value and selling points. Working with Richard was as stress free as selling a home gets. At every stage of the process we felt Richard was working for us - not just trying to achieve a sale. He took the time to listen to us and not once suggested we reduce or aim for a lower price than we had in mind. Choosing the right agent is so important in the current environment. There are many agents in the local area but when the time comes to sell again, my husband and I won't hesitate to contact Richard and in the meantime we will recommend him to everyone we know!
One of the things all sellers try and avoid is added expense that eats into your net sales dollars. What I like about Richard is that he listened. We avoided advertising expenses and exorbitant commission. How? When I say he listened he listed to my requirements. 12 months ago while we were just thinking about possibly selling contacted us and made himself available. No hard sales pitch just regular catch ups and inquiring were we were over the course of 12 months . Richard, in a very professional way, kept in touch with buyers and us and made the sale happen. Both parties got what they wanted in both service and dollar expectations. Highly recommended.
Very approachable and works very hard to not only get the result but to ensure we were kept up to date with the market and buyer activity
You will not find another agent who knows more about the Teneriffe market or more particularly the Ellington complex. He is always available on the phone and provides honest and constructive feedback without being pushy. He is your got to guy!
We interviewed 4 Agents via OpenAgent and found a few of them very credible— but Ivo and the Belle Team stood heads above the others. And did they deliver! They used their database for off market qualifies buyers and we sold to the first party through — at a price we believe was appropriate! Ivo, Richard and Team have our highest recommendations!!
Richard has been instrumental in identifying properties suitable to our needs.
We bought our current unit through Richard and he then sold our other unit. He was more than helpful and had a sale contract within 21 days at a price that we were happy with. Comes highly recommended. Ken & Ann
Richard was the best agent we had met in our viewings of 32 properties. He was great to deal with and highly responsive for both parties.
From start to finish, Richard was there at every step. Any questions I may have had, he always got back to me quickly. The whole process was stress free and Richard had a big part to play in that. I cannot thank him enough for all he did for us.
