With not doubt in Rod' skills as an auctioneer and industry knowledge he could work on the soft skills of sale by private treaty. Gone are the days where high pressure bullish tactics are appropriate in a climate where people have enough pressures and demands from work, family and life.
As a buyer I wished he hit the hammer sooner but as vendor you would be happy with his performance.
Rod's communication and professionalism has been exceptional throughout the buying process. Upon entering our new home there were some minor issues which Rod did not hesitate to find a timely solution to and his integrity and care factor remained high throughout. We were very grateful for Rod's prompt and caring responses to ensure our move was stress free. I highly recommend Rod as an agent.
Rod was excellent! We never had to ring for information, Rod always kept us fully informed. He was so encouraging, positive and energetic. Rod was always early for opens..so enthusiastic, friendly and personable. Rod, with help from lovely Ethan, conducted an intelligent, efficient and very successful campaign...he's also a great auctioneer!
Rod and his team ran an absolutely seamless campaign for us. They kept us informed throughout the process, and maintained the perfect balance of being positive but realistic. Rod promised to fight for the best possible price for us, and boy did he deliver! We achieved an outcome that exceeded all expectations. Rod is truely the best in the business and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
In the last 5 years I have sold two houses with Rod, in the first sale he impressed me with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area and what buyers were looking for in Novar Gardens. When it came to selling an investment property in Hove adjacent to the beach, he was my only choice, he didn't disappoint with a result at the top of my expectations in a week of being on the market.
awesome salesman kept me in formed all the way highly recomend rod yo anyone selling..
Rod shows great pride in his work and highly values his relationships with clients. His manner, commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism are second to none. We are grateful for his support and guidance through every stage of our property sale.
Provided provided regular and sometimes Daily Updates of the sale process. We were very happy by the fact our property was sold prior to auction. I think has a result we achieved a very good sale price and the property currently stands as the highest selling house price in the street.
Rod was very professional, open and honest when I recently purchased a new property. Would highly recommend him when either buying or selling. It was a very easy process and the communication was great.
Rod was really great. We got a few different agents to come through the house originally but Rob was by far the best. Very friendly rang me back straight away. Always willing to answer my questions no matter how trivial. Will definitely use him in the future if we ever sell again
How lucky were we when we rang Rod Smitheram asking him to be the agent to sell our house. Infectious enthusiasm. That’s Rod! He quickly developed a detailed plan of action for things such as dates for Open Houses which he conducted, photography for advertising which he supervised, the online advertising and presentation which was great and his follow up with potential buyers. During the campaign we were constantly updated with positive progress so we felt our sale was in very capable and professional hands. Rod was honest, transparent and upfront with us. We had great confidence in him. We were exceedingly happy with the way he closed the sale and would highly recommend him. He is a true professional!
