Really smooth transaction an absolute please to work with - went beyond the normal to make sure everything was perfect - Thanks Shane

We recently purchased our first property from Shane at Carina. We were only in the market about 6 weeks before we met Shane but to say we didn't have a great experience with other agents was an understatement. Shane was open, transparent and honest from the start. He set realistic expectations and he got us to increase our offer above what we were originally looking to spend. He was of course working for the seller but I think Shane understands that to achieve results for his clients he has to have both parties interests at heart. He was a breath of fresh air for us after previous experiences. I've even been in contact a few times since the sale and Shane was happy to field questions and offer support. I'd have no problem recommending him to anyone!

We loved working with the Hicks team. They were at all times professional, friendly and patient. I would highly recommend them and happily work with them again in the future.

Start to finish Shane and his team were professional and knowledgeable. Attention to detail and thoroughness of Team Hicks was impressive. This particular sale was signed late at night xmas eve after weeks of solid negotiation. Im sure many agents would have parked the negotiations until after the festivities but Shane put in above and beyond to get the contract signed out of hours. I have sold with Shane on several occasions and am always impressed with his ability to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

We’ve dealt with Shane and his team multiple times as both property buyers and sellers. Each time has been a simple process and we love Shane’s casual friendly approach rather than some other agents who do the hard sell. Will use him again in the future!

Shane and his team were very professional throughout the course of our engagement in buying at Auction. He was able to create a mutually agreeable position between buyer and seller on the day of Auction, despite the original reserve not being met. Great communication with us in the lead up to Auction, also creating opportunities to view the property outside of scheduled viewings, His team also played great support with all documentation and made the entire process fluid and simple to understand. Would happily recommend Shane and the entire team.

Making the decision to sell a much loved home of over 17 years was a big one, then finding an agent to represent you and your home to the market place another big decision. After a short listing process of agents I chose Shane Hicks and his team and I have not had a single regret. He met with me already prepared, he already new the details of the property, already knew the advantages of the location, had a very clear easy to follow process and contacts of service provider options for things like rubbish removal, small job trades for minor household repairs etc (what a god send that list was). Coming from a very analytical occupation and preparing for this sale over 10 months ago, I totally grilled Shane during my first meeting to see how well he knew the market in my area; what the target groups were for my property; how that would work into the marketing strategy; what he based the prospective sale value of the property on etc. His market knowledge was first class. I attended a number of open houses he held for other properties - he and his team were very professional and regardless of the type of property you have (high end modern build home or post war home like mine) he was totally professional and gave 100% to each property. Shane had a plan for every possibility during the 4 week marketing campaign and during the auction which gave me great peace of mind. My home sold under the hammer on auction day and I am just thrilled with the result and with how the auction was conducted. His team - Antonio, Michaela and Paul (auctioneer) were absolutely first class. Paul the auctioneer was brilliant, he spoke to all the advantages of this area including the aspect which made for wonderful summer get togethers on the deck without cooking in the western sun. Cannot recommend Shane highly enough - he knows his stuff, is straight down the line and just a very nice fellow. A big THANK YOU to the Hick's Team.

Communicated closely, gave regular, detailed feedback and obtained outstanding results on the selling of our property. Highly recommended!

Shane & the Place team did a great job with the marketing of our home - ensuring maximum exposure was achieved throughout the sale campaign resulting in our home being the 3rd highest visited property in Queensland on REA for the week leading up to Auction. Shane provided prompt and honest feedback following each inspection and clearly explained each step of the Auction/Sale process to us. Thank you again to the entire Hicks & Place Bulimba teams.

Shane's knowledge of the market ensured that we built the right property for the right price, helping us to another successful result

Shane and his team, Dion and Michaela provided excellent service throughout the entire sales process - I would highly recommend them.

Shane and his team achieved a great result for us. The strategy was clear and the execution was exemplary. I have no hesitation in recommending Shane.
