What a fantastic experience with Richard and Chris and Simeon Manners – an innovative agency who came to us with a very clear, well-articulated sales strategy, a plan they implemented in a patient and considered way, at all times keeping us well informed on progress and ultimately delivering an outstanding result, particularly in a tough market. Selling a house is a stressful experience, and it is vitally important that the vendor has trust in the agent and equally that the agent earns the trust and respect of the client – this was most definitely achieved. At the outset of the sales campaign, Richard and Chris provided excellent advice in ensuring that the house was presented to the maximum. Along the way they tweaked their sales pitch to ensure that interested parties were kept warm and they demonstrated innovative ways of enhancing the appeal of the house. Their attention to every detail that would assist in selling the house was very impressive and they demonstrated a 24/7 commitment and excellent negotiating skills to ensure we sold at the best price possible. We could not recommend Richard, Chris and Adette highly enough for their focused strategies and their all round professionalism. We would be more than happy to talk to any potential vendor, if they would like to hear from us first hand.

Richard and his team really worked hard for us at a time when market forces were very uncertain. We believe Richard achieved a very good result when similar properties were not moving at all. His advice and counsel was much appreciated.

A lot of real estate agents talk a good game when you are considering selling your home, particularly in a buoyant market. But when things tighten up, you need an agent who has a proven track record over time and most importantly, someone who you can trust to fairly represent your interests, not just their own. That’s why we chose Richard and his team. They listened to us, gave us sound advice and went the extra yard to ensure we received the best possible deal for our home, rather than trying to shoe-horn us into a sale just to get a result. Richard, Chris and Adette kept us fully informed during the entire process and were always respectful, honest and charming to deal with. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective sellers. Peter and Ann

I have known Richard for about 15 years. He was able to get me a record price for a house we built previously in Mosman, and he sold me this house in Balmoral. He is exceptionally easy to deal with, very transparent and concise. Richard and his team at Simeon Manners worked incredibly fast and efficiently to put our house on the market. It took just 5 days to prepare the house before the first Open House. Their preparation was second to none. I was going to sell it off market but Richard assured me that he could get a much better price and not only did he succeed, but he was able to achieve an incredible result for us. We are very thankful for the work that he, Chris and Adette plus the styling team at Evolve did to sell the house and would recommend him above all other agents in Mosman.

Richard Simeon has everything you need when dealing with real estate sales; thorough knowledge of the area backed up with hard truths, complete transparency of the status of the deal, and impeccable honesty from beginning to end. With his added tenacity you wont do better. Richard always took our calls or returned them promptly - not a small thing when negotiating the roof over your head. Throughout the whole experience we were always confident he would deliver the result we wanted. It's something we'd be happy to repeat - the true test of any person's reputaton.

In what was a somewhat protracted sale negotiation Richard handled the sale very well. In particular, I appreciated Richard's straightforwardness and humility and he was certainly much more accurate in his estimation of the market value of the property ie he didn't overstate the estimated value for the sake of getting the business. Thank you Richard, your efforts were appreciated.

We have dealt with other agencies and agents in the past and I would like to say all agents are definitely not the same. We would like to express how delighted we were with Richard Simeon as the managing agent for the sale of our property. He was extremely professional throughout the campaign and achieved a result which exceeded our expectations. He attended every open and handled complex negotiations calmly and efficiently to optimise our outcome and delivered what he promised. Thanks also the Mark Manners and the rest of your team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard to all potential vendors.

It was an extremely difficult decision to sell my home. My father was ill, I was time poor and this was a decision that I struggled with for over a year. Initially I interviewed many agents - McGraths, Ray White, The Agency and Sotherby’s. They were all polite but who was most capable enough to sell my house, my biggest asset and my family home? I had heard several times about Simeon Manners but didn't really know who they were and on reflection, I realise they were probably just too busy working than making ‘Noise’. I opened my door to meet Richard Simeon and Simon Hardaker. who were confident, informative humble and charming. These men had so much time for me they sat down and really listened so I felt no pressure. Finally, I had chosen my agents - Simeon Manners. Their marketing materials were stunning and comprehensive they generated considerable PR and delivered and diverse range of quality buyers. Richard is a strategic negotiator, one who always has the ability to turn a NO into a YES is someone you want on your side. Even when I said enough, he delivered more. I saw it all, nothing bothered him, he was always here for openings and would call immediately following each inspection with results. His comments were always constructive and honest. I reflected on what my friend had mentioned from the start - Richard really was on another level. His strengths are understanding people on their level and he loves what he does, he’s motivated and driven yet calm and has the ability to win. My house sold in 5 weeks for more than what every other agent had quoted – ‘an amazing result’. What I found that was the most rewarding experience for me was how simple Richard and Simon made everything seem, So if you are lucky enough to have Richard and his incredible team at Simeon Manners sell your home, get ready for a wonderful experience and the highest results.

Dear Richard, Many thanks to you for handling the recent sale of our home in Inkerman Street. When we bought this home two years ago – with you acting for the previous vendor – we never imagined we’d be selling so soon. Due to relocating interstate, we sadly found ourselves selling our “forever” home, so we had no hesitation in asking you to represent us. We appreciated your professionalism, negotiation skills and experience. A special thank you to Mark Manners and your Simeon Manners team for all their assistance. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and his team.

Our property was not the easiest property to sell, the effort Richard put in to identify and work with each potential buyer’s individual needs over a number of weeks was incredible. From working with architects and builders through to ensuring the perfect photo, we were very lucky to have worked with Richard and his team and would highly recommend them. A special thanks to Marize who was the perfect partner with Richard; top agents who work extremely well together, they leave nothing to chance.

We would like to thank Richard and Chris for their considerable efforts in the sale of our house. During the recent changing market conditions they still managed to achieve the best result and did not give up or compromise for an easier situation. They provided us with constant market updates throughout the campaign. We also appreciate them for always making their advice based on the decisions benefiting us. This is a great team to work with and we recommend them highly to any potential seller.”

Richard, Marize and team far exceeded our expectations in terms of price, quality and after sales care with regard to the sale of our property in Countess St. Mosman. Sales strategy was well thought out and presented in a manner that accommodated our busy schedule and market estimate for the property ended up being spot on accurate. Having experienced other agent’s styles in the North Shore area previously, what sets Richard, Marize and their team apart was their attention to detail, their informed opinions on what the best selling points of the property were and their help in presenting the property in the best manner possible. Richard and Marize’s guidance during the sales process was always courteous and undertaken in a professional manner irrespective of the long hours of work they put into the sale on a daily basis. At the completion of the sale, the biggest selling point for Richard, Marize and their team, was that we felt as much time and effort was put into the marketing and securing a deal for our property as would have been for a property of considerable more value and have no hesitation in recommending them.
