My wife and I recently purchased a property off Simon and the team at RT Edgar in Albert Park. Simon was very professional, and great to deal with from start to finish. I would highly recommend Simon to any home owner looking to transact their property.
Simon and his staff have been a pleasure to deal with. Always followed up any requests and questions I had and replied promptly. Highly recommended.
Being our first home sale, we were new and inexperienced in the real estate sale process. At the time of selecting an agent, we felt like it was a big leap of faith, to put the trust of selling our home in the hands of an agent we’d only met a couple of times. We narrowed down our search to 3 agents. We met with each trying to assess how they’d go about selling our home. Ultimately for us it was about trust. What impressed us about Simon was his authenticity. We felt like we could have a real conversation with him. We liked his personable and down to earth style, and if we liked his style, then buyers might too. In addition, the quality of his strategy, approach and market knowledge were a cut above the rest. This was one of the deciding factors for us. Our logic was if Simon had this type of quality upfront, then it could be a good indicator of quality throughout the campaign. We were right. From pre-sales to auction day Simon’s service was first class. Finally, on auction day Simon was brilliant, achieving a fantastic result for us and a win-win for all. We’re incredibly happy with the outcome and glad we chose Simon Graf from RT Edgar. Sometimes you have to trust your instincts, and with Simon our instincts were right.
I met Simon from RT Edgar-Albert Park at an open for inspection I was attending while doing some market research, I was about to list my unit. He kept to his word and reached out to me to offer his assistance ( one of the few that did so). Over the course of the next few weeks we met with Simon and knew after the first meeting that he was the kind of person we wanted to work with. He was relaxed and calm, knowledgeable about the market, but importantly to us we could tell that he was an authentic person and I believe that works for both buyers and sellers to get the best and right outcome for all. We were kept up to date through the entire campaign, with realistic information about the opens and as it turned out with his guidance things played out as he anticipated. I expect you get to know with experience like Simon’s if people are genuinely interested. We were fortunate to have found him and would recommend him and the team to anyone wanting to sell their home but also those that are looking for someone to help them find the right property to buy. Thank you for taking us on as clients.
Simon and the team sold my apartment in Port Melbourne a few weeks ago for a fantastic price. The advice and service they provided was above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Simon and his team if you’re looking to sell in the Bayside area.
We had been in discussions with 3 agents for many months in regards to the sale of our property. We decided to go with Simon Graf for a number of reasons. The level of communication and responsiveness was excellent. During the process we felt very comfortable and guided through every step. Our place sold at auction well over reserve, great outcome! Happy vendors.
Simon Graf assisted us a week ago to sell our apartment in Port Melbourne. We have had a prior experience with Simon about 7 years ago when he assisted us to sell another property in Port Melbourne, when we first met him and he achieved an outstanding record result for us. Our experience with Simon was so pleasant and professional, that we committed to follow him and use him for all our real estate needs. It was therefore without any doubt that we made the decision to consult and engage Simon on the recent sale of our apartment. Simon offers a full, all-encompassing service, helping to navigate through the sale process effortlessly and with kindness and compassion. This was important to us, the selling process for us was somewhat emotional and it was good to have Simon being understanding through that process but also providing a reality check and strong professional advice on best positioning the property on the market. We decided to undertake some renovations to the property before selling it and we advised Simon that it will be some months before we were ready to engage him. Simon kept his interest and involvement throughout the renovation process, and was genuinely interested to see the transformation of the property. He was excited with the prospects it offered and was pre-planning the steps he will take in terms of marketing and profiling the property. Dealing with Simon is easy and effortless, he works extremely hard and performs excellently at his job. He was passionate and excited throughout the whole process, he was thorough and involved, he went the extra mile to offer private viewings, extra inspections and anything that helped the property get to a broader audience. He was immaculately precise in how he wanted the property to be presented during the marketing campaign and was careful of the slightest details to ensure the styling of the home reflected personality and style. He offered suggestions with the styling, artwork, furniture.....
Totally exceeded our expectations! As first time buyers, and looking to purchase our family home, we were very nervous with all aspects especially the many decisions having to be made along the way. Hearing some stories from friends and family about feeling pressured by agents and not being informed of anything throughout the buying process, this didn’t help with our nerves. When we met Simon face-to-face at the first open for inspection his eagerness to help us and genuine understanding of our situation settled our nerves straight away. Whilst Simon was of course there to assist the Vendor in selling their home, we did not feel that this was his only intention. He was able to reassure us and keep our emotions in check without us feeling pressured and made sure to make arrangements for inspections and telephone discussions at times convenient to us. Anything that didn’t need our response, Simon would courteously leave a message or send us an email. Simon kept us in the loop of forthcoming inspections, was quick to obtain answers to our many, many questions/enquiries regarding the property and the Contract of Sale/Vendor Statement. The result absolutely exceeded our expectation and we now get to enjoy Christmas and a Melbourne Summer in our new home by the beautiful bay. We really felt that Simon had our best interests in mind and the result proved well for us. Simon and the RT Edgar Albert Park team took great consideration in what we were looking for and our hopes for the journey ahead. We very much look forward to any dealings we may have with Simon again in the future.
Simon has now successfully sold two of my properties in Bayside Melbourne. Both sales have been a resounding success. Simon never faltered in his attention to detail, letting me know exactly where we were at, at every stage of the sale campaign and is genuinely passionate about what he does, leaving nothing to chance. Most importantly he completely gets and believes it's not just another sale for the books. He understands that for most of us, our properties or homes are our biggest asset. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Simon and his team. In fact I would recommend not going with anyone else if you value an agent who truly and genuinely wants to do the right thing by you.
The entire process was made seamless right from first inspection to signing the contract.
One of the most stressful adventures can be selling a house. Our experience with Simon was so smooth as he kept us informed every step of the way. We really felt Simon had our best interests at heart, and certainly understands how to achieve the most successful outcome.
Having recently purchased a home at auction, I had the pleasure in dealing with Simon and his team from Hocking Stuart. Simon is genuine and a professional in this field and made the whole experience a lot less nerve wracking . Through Simon's constant communication and prompt response to any query I had, I knew I was dealing with an honest and reliable agent. I highly recommend Simon and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
