I have no hesitations on recommending Shad, the service he provides is exceptional and it most defiantly shows in his well achieved results.

I decided to use Shads services after meeting him previously for an estimate on my home in Lewisham, Inner West Sydney. I now live in England, UK and I decided to sell my home remotely, a challenge as it was about to become vacant with a different agency and needed some maintenance, painting and the rear garden needed tidying up, all difficult things to coordinate from across the world! Shad and his A1 efficient Executive Assistant Terri Furnari worked with me seamlessly to get the property repaired, painted and styled on time and within budget ready for the marketing campaign. With pre-auction interest Shad excelled with his expert negotiating skills which resulted in a very satisfactory sale without going to auction. My decision to use Shads services paid off, he is a very confident agent that uses his wealth of experience and people skills to achieve great results. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an Inner West property expert.

We have dealt with Shad for many years now -fourteen years ago he originally sold us the house he just sold for us again - a house he used to live behind! We have also stayed in touch as we contemplated selling over the years before deciding to renovate instead. We did our due diligence speaking to a couple of other agents, but Shad shone through with his area knowledge and positive strategic ideas on selling strategy. Apart from a couple of early communication issues, (which were ironed out quickly) we have been very happy with Shad and his team's service and efforts throughout the campaign. Shad especially came through when his strong negotiation skills in a softening market helped us get a strong price for our residence. I have and will continue to recommend Shad and his team to to my friends and work colleagues who are selling or buying in the inner west area.

Shad is a brilliant agent! I have known him for the past 8 years since purchasing my investment property and during that time he has helped me keep abreast of the local market periodically touching base for an update on the status of my investment. He gave accurate advice and when I was ready to sell and provided a smooth and effective plan with an infrastructure of brilliant support staff. We sold for a realistic price without any problems. I will certainly use Shad again for my next purchase in the inner west.

To whom it may concern, As home-buyers (and sellers) we have had the pleasure of working with Shad Hassen three times over the last decade or so. Each time he has proved to be honest, intelligent and reliable. When we went to auction with our property in Summer Hill in April 2017, it was in the knowledge that Shad and his team had done an excellent job creating the maximum amount of interest around the unusual piece of real estate we were offering. This was due to careful planning and dedicated enthusiasm on his part, and we were thrilled with the excellent result on the day of the auction. We would have no hesitation in approaching Shad, Terri and the rest of his super professional team to help us in the future.

Shad and his team were excellent and we were very happy with the result. Would recommend him to others selling their homes. Thank you Shad.

I recommend Shad to anyone seeking to sell their property. His team were on-time, professional and attentive. The photo shoot really brought out the best of the house. What sets Shad apart from his competitors is his ability to connect with me and to clearly lay out a sales plan, not just a marketing plan. Shad was able to achieve better than my target price before auction by focusing on the genuine buyers.

We were recommended to Shad by my parents thanks to the brilliant job he did for them and he held up to that reputation in selling this house. Not afraid to tell me truths that I didn't want to hear, his communication was on point and delivered the best possible outcome. I would recommend Shad without hesitation.

Shad and his very capable team at McGrath managed the auction of our property from beginning to end with great skill and flair. Shad's personal involvement was of an excellent real estate agent. His professionalism and expertise came to the fore right from the outset when he managed to attract many potential buyers. The campaign was solid, but the auction result was fantastic. His expertise was evidenced the way in which the vendor (us) and the buyer were both thrilled with the end result.

I would be happy to recommend Shad to those thinking about selling their house in the inner west. Shad was very friendly, a great communicator and always had our best interest in mind.


Shad, as a real estate agent, accomplished for us what was an incredible result. The markets for the latter half of 2016 in Sydney were performing well - a distinct advantage. However, there has to be more than markets doing well. In that respect, Shad communicated well with my husband and I, laid out the market plan in a very detailed specific frame of time to us so that we, living in Zambia, Africa would be aware of what was going to happen. Communication was extremely important for us given our daily shortages of power and water. To have a update at week's end was brilliant. To that end we couldn't be more pleased with the way Shad and his team performed. My recommendation to any future seller would be to give Shad "an hour of your time" and see how it goes. Thats what we did and the results of our auction speak for themselves. Its just the best Xmas present that one could have wished for. To Shad and the team, many thanks.
