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.

My husband and I recently sold our house in Dulwich Hill through Shad Hassen from McGrath Leichhardt. Shad achieved a fantastic result for us, above and beyond our expectations, which has enabled us to go on and buy our dream home on the north shore. We reallly appreciated his advice and suggestions on how to proceed with the sale.

This agent is top notch, who does everything to ensure everything goes well... from auction, to maintenance issues.. he'll solve it and get a great outcome for his client. He never disappoints at all, every request met and recommendations are spot on. Highly recommended.

A few days before to our appointment with Shad, his colleague, Julian, arrived at our door with a gift that consisted of a small audio visual presentation on Shad's marketing philosophy. This prepared us for our meeting with Shad and allowed us to clarify the issues which we would want to present to Shad during our meeting. Shad arrived on time and immediately presented himself as someone who was not going to push us into a decision that was not right for us. He was realistic in his appraisal of our home and he offered various marketing alternatives to choose from. After this initial meeting we met again with Shad in his office where we met the other member of his team, Terri. During this meeting Shad spent considerable time outlining the steps of the marketing campaign which we had chosen, the costs involved and with Terri's assistance, a timeline of activities which would occur prior to going on the market; during the marketing campaign and post-sale. We opted for a full marketing package that included having professional photos of our home taken; a video of our home; a professionally trained host for the video presentation; a professional writer to present a description of our home; and a draftsman to create a plan of the house and garden. Terri supervised the marketing team on the day that they came to our home so it went smoothly with little disruption to our routine. At the open inspections Julian and Shad were there to ensure that the many prospective buyers were fully appraised of the property. Although we had opted for auction, within a few days of being on the market better than expected offers were being made with the final offer far exceeding our expectations so we sold prior to auction. Shad, Julian and Terri make an impressive team. They showed us what a fully professional approach can achieve.

Shad did a great job in the recent sale of our home. He is extremely credible, professional and genuine. He stayed in touch throughout the process, managed our expectations very well and we were delighted with the final sale price. I would highly recommend him for anyone thinking of selling in Sydney's Inner West.

Shad and his team sold our Leichhardt townhouse. It wasn't the easiest sale - we're in Europe, there was a recalcitrant tenant installed, and the house needed a real refresh. Terri, Shad's EA, did a magnificent job in coordinating across tradies and timezones, going above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. Shad got us a committed buyer willing to pay the right price, and the broader McGrath team made sure that mechanics of the sale went smoothly. All in all, a really good experience.

Shad was upfront and honest and provided great assistance. Even after the purchase, Shad and his office have been very accommodating.


Shad was very helpful from the very beginning. He kept us up to date and worked with us very well throughout the process. His team, Terri and Julian were very friendly and helpful, a pleasure to work with.

Shad made the whole process of selling our house a breeze. His down to earth attitude and common sense was very welcome. All communication lines were open as anytime we would call Shad he would spend quality time with us and explain everything in plain English. We truly believe it was due to Shads ethics and experience that we got the best possible result.

Shad was introduced to us by a McGrath colleague. Shad partnered us through the Sale process efficiently and professionally. Shad's team also reflect his approach with special mention of Teri Furnari who is very personable and knowledgeable. Shad's awareness of the market and people's behaviour brings certainty to what is a truly uncertain activity and one filled with emotion. Shad promised me that he would sell and for the right price; he did! We are more than happy to recommend Shad and his team.
