Simon has sold two houses for me, the first time another agent talked me into using them instead of Simon however come auction day I was unable to get a single bid, the other agent blamed me, and said I wanted too much and it could not be done, so I signed with Simon and within 2 days the place was sold for the full price I wanted. I recently used Simon to sell my next home and as usual i was given great advice and sold at the price we wanted. Simon knows the market, knows what makes houses sell. Simon spends the time to give you little pointers so you can make small changes which appeal to local buyers, all you need to do is follow his advice. On top of this, he's always responsive, professional and happy which is always a plus.

We canvassed a few local agents when we sold our double storey terrace in Clifton Hill last year. All went hard on the value of the model their particular agency runs ("we have the most contacts"). With fees mostly the same, Simon slightly better, it came down to who we felt was going to fight our corner the hardest. For that reason we chose Simon Shrimpton. Ive got a strong feeling real estate is this guy's sole reasons for being as he was super hands on. Simon was available all hours to help us along the way and ran a relentless campaign with about 8 openings in 10 days given problematic covid lockdowns. We almost laughed at the overly dramatic video he had made for the property but it was actually amazing with the clients and served the campaign really well. We ended up running a virtual auction but with our place looking good thanks to the interior design he recommended, the extended 10min video he made available online, the dramatic 30sec teaser and all the hustle he brought over the weeks leading up to auction day we felt pretty good about it all. The auction ended up going bananas and Simon managed it well. Obviously a lot is in the hands of the bidders but it was clear that a good auctioneer can make a real difference; a spiel that was fit for purpose but not too long, knowing when to go hard, pause, when to encourage and then a solid close....he did well. We were very happy with the result and Simon got his fee, but given all that, a stressful process was made better thanks to Simon's committment and competence. Net net of everything, If I had to sell our house again () I would go with Simon.

We decided to sell our home and the auction was while we were interstate. Simon provided us with timely updates over the Campaign that eased our concerns. The auction day was let down by the final bidders procrastination and late withdrawal. Despite this Simon pursued other interested parties and achieved a selling price we didn’t think was likely within 48 hours of the auction. Simon achieved a sale and a great price for us. Thank you Simon

We had a number of delays in preparing the property for sale post lockdown. Simon was able to be flexible as the market was changing quite quickly week-to-week. He was always clear and upfront, able to give a knowledgeable and reasoned view about the circumstances. Whilst we didn’t hit the top of the market, Simon got a great result given the setbacks.

Our experience selling our property with Simon was extremely positive. We felt at all times that he was following up on issues regarding the preparation of the house for sale and looking after our interests. We would recommend Simon highly to any prospective vendors. He was very professional and easy to talk to. We felt comfortable with him from the moment we met him. He explained the processes and was very helpful in all matters relating to the sale of our property. We were very happy with Simon's support of us and the outcome of the sale.

Simon exceeded all expectations that I had. Extremely positive outcome and approach which would only come about from a true professional.

Simon is an amazing source of knowledge and experience of the property market in the inner northern suburbs. Having kept in touch with Simon for twenty years after he solid me my first home, I knew should the time come to sell that he would be the best positioned agent to take on the role. I think one of the keys to Simon’s approach is his ability to collaborate with his colleagues in forming a view about pricing, styling, and formulating a campaign. So, I felt I benefited from Simon’s experience and that of his colleagues. He was also able to integrate several of my own ideas into the styling of the property while guiding me away from any mistakes. The reason for calling out Simon’s capacity to advise and advocate as a professional on my behalf is that these competencies do not appear to be common in the real estate profession. I was keen to work with someone that I could trust to provide me with professional advice on price, promotion, styling, and the difficulty of sustaining and adapting a sales campaign during Melbourne’s 2021 Covid restrictions and lock-downs. Simon went the extra mile and worked hard on my behalf even though my property was not at the top-end of the market – small things like fitting in ad hoc inspections and following up interested buyers made a big difference. Now that I’m in the market as a buyer I can see these things are not always done and done well. It’s probably true that anyone could get a good result in a perfect sellers’ market, but with so much uncertainty around you need to be working with an agent that can read the play and adjust their approach accordingly. Simon’s ability to read the market and adapt quickly to rapidly evolving circumstances is one of the main reasons I would recommend him to other sellers.

Simon is the master of follow up. He kept in touch in an easy going and informative way for 5 years so of course we were going to go with Simon when it came time to sell. During the selling process, Simon was very proactive and communicated well. We had a short selling window in a market that was not easy but he was always positive and working towards the result. The result we achieved was very satisfactory and we would highly recommend Simon to anyone considering to sell.

Simon is a hard working agent who will go above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and is able to present your property in its best light for sale. He assisted me to successfully sell my place in Richmond during the Covid lockdowns in a tough market environment. Simon's expertise and keen eye mean that he is one of inner city Melbourne's best agents. If you are looking for an agent who has your best interests at heart - the Simon is the agent for you.

Simon Shrimpton is genuinely the most knowledgeable, professional, honest and hard-working Agent in the inner-north. I would not want anyone else to sell my home. His expertise and dedication will ensure a smooth and stress-free campaign which will translate to an exceptional sales result for anyone who engages him. Don't believe the 'spin' from other Agents. If you want the best result go with Simon.

Simon has a very comprehensive and up to date knowledge of the specific property and the market in the area. He is helpful personable and accessible. Having Simon handle our sale was a stress free experience in what was a difficult and challenging time (COVID lockdowns) for everyone.

Simon helped us sell our unit when we were overseas, in between lockdowns. It was our first sale so we were a bit anxious. Simon was a steady hand throughout the process, worked incredibly hard in challenging conditions and got us an amazing result. He kept us informed at all times and always had time to answer our questions. I could not recommend him highly enough!
