Thorough and professional

I have known Simon for a number of years and have always been impressed with his knowledge of the market and his proactive approach to keeping me informed and updated. This proved to be invaluable on the successful sale of our home in Paddington. Simon's professionalism and thorough approach throughout the campaign was exceptional, keeping me frequently updated. I would not hesitate in recommending or using Simon again!

Purchase of investment property through 1STCITY Simon Doak and his team

I found dealing with 1STCITY's Simon very refreshing. Team of nice and very professional people with great expertise, clear communication, professional follow up; seamless and efficient with a hint of humor. Just what the skilled and knowledgeable professional would do. Thank you for a very pleasant experience.

Exemplary Service and Knowledge

I've had the pleasure of knowing Simon since 2004 when I bought my first property from him. I subsequently sold the same property with him and bought the current house, which he has just successfully sold for me. Simon is incredibly well informed, he absolutely leaves no stone unturned and is the ultimate professional, whilst also providing support and information. I have nothing but great things to say about Simon and 1st City, and I will definitely be staying in touch and using Simon's services again.

Experience you can trust

I have known Simon and Michael for more than 12 years now and have entrusted them with management of rental property and I recently recommended them to my daughter for the sale of her property in Paddington. Simon and Michael’s combined experience and instincts are a winning combination.

You’re in safe hands with Simon

Simon and Michael were the agents for the sale of my property in Paddington. Actually, Simon was the agent when I purchased it originally. Simon and Michael provided insightful advice prior to and during the marketing campaign. They handled the sale with the utmost professionalism and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

working with Simon over the course of a decade

We met Simon in 2010 when we were looking to buy a house for our daughters. We inspected 50+ homes and Simon gave us a lot of personal attention across all of our activity, whether the homes were listed by him or not...We bought through another agent and Simon stayed in touch throughout the intervening years. When it came time to rent or sell our house, he was the top choice.

Outstanding real estate professional

As a buyer I have had a fantastic experience dealing with Simon. He is highly professional, has excellent knowledge and insight of the local market and facilitated a very smooth negotiation process leading up to the purchase of this property. If I were to sell this property I would certainly engage Simon to do so. Having dealt with real estate agents in the Eastern suburbs for many years, I strongly recommended him and would say that he ranks amongst the very best I have dealt with.

Consistently high standard

Thorough, consistent and transparent communication from the get go. Simon delivers on his word and is relentless in his pursuit in following up on opportunities and getting to an acceptable deal. Simon is flexible in understanding our expectations and didn’t try to tell us what we should do in the ultimate decision. Support services such as marketing and the auction was to a very high standard. Simon is very diligent and seems to enjoy his job which made it a pleasure to work with him.

A skilled communicator with impressive market knowledge

In an industry where real estate agents don’t always get a good rap, Simon defies the odds - we found him to be very likeable and amenable to our needs and easily approachable. Simon had impressive insight into the reasons for the historical values of both our own house and the majority of our neighbours' homes. He can close a deal and ensures both vendor and purchaser feel they've come out on top. Working with Simon was such a pleasure. We’d offer up six stars if we could!
