I have no hesitation recommending Stephen Bock & Karen Terry.

I have no hesitation recommending Stephen Bock & Karen Terry.

When off-the-plan sales had stalled on a recent property development of mine, in a slow real- estate market, Stephen & Karen structured a comprehensive and cost-effective campaign, to turbo-charge our off-the-plan sales. This campaign, as well as Stephen & Karen’s enthusiastic sales approach, and wealth of sales experience, saw all remaining units in our development sold over a 4month period at top prices! I have no hesitation recommending Stephen Bock & Karen Terry.

we would recommend Karen and Stephen for their professionalism, honesty and sincere approach

We would like to thank you for all your hard work and support when you sold our family home, enabling us to move closer to our children and grandchildren on the far north coast. We had been on the market with a local agent for 3 months and we were disappointed that we had not old our home, it was a very stressful time for my wife, my son and I especially since the market was so strong. We were beginning to think we would never sell. Then we met Karen and Stephen. Right from the very first meeting we felt we were in safe hands. Karen and Stephen were honest and professional in their approach and offered us clear guidance throughout the entire campaign. They kept us updated on a daily basis as to what was happening, they always returned our phone calls and answered any queries we had, nothing was ever a problem for them. After one failed campaign, we were completely against advertising and under no circumstance did we ever want to go to auction however, we trusted their expertise and undertook Manly Daily advertising and we went to Auction. In just 5 weeks we sold to a young family upsizing from an apartment in Redfern, we could not have been more pleased with the result. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet them earlier. It is, without any hesitation we would recommend Karen and Stephen for their professionalism, honesty and sincere approach to selling our home.

We would thoroughly recommend Stephen and Karen for their honesty and professionalism

My brother and I recently decided to sell our investment property after owning it for 14 years, we were mindful that the existing tenant had also been living in the apartment since we first rented it out. We knew that selling would be difficult for the tenant however, we felt the time was right to sell as we needed to look at other investments closer to our homes. Stephen and Karen took great care in keeping us informed every step of the way which was very important to us as we do not live in Sydney. We were aware the tenant had interest in purchasing the apartment, but through careful advice we still put the apartment on the market to ensure that we were getting the best price available in the current market. The tenant had made an offer of $750,000 when we first listed the property however, in just 9 days Stephen and Karen had managed to increase this offer a further $50,000. It was an impressive outcome. We would thoroughly recommend Stephen and Karen for their honesty and professionalism.

We achieved an outstanding result when we sold. This is exactly what we wanted from an Agent.

We first met Stephen over three years ago when we invited him to value our property and in the intervening time he visited us twice more at our request to update the valuation and discuss the potential of the property. In August this year we decided to put our property on the market and met again with Stephen and Karen after interviewing three other Agents. Stephen and Karen were prepared to offer their advice even though they knew we had an aversion to the particular strategy they advocated. The other Agents seemed to tailor their advice more to comply with our perceptions and fears, rather than advise us based on their knowledge and experience. We achieved an outstanding result when we sold. This is exactly what we wanted from an Agent.

You both made us feel like we were your priority from beginning to end

Thank you so much for all your efforts in helping us to sell our apartment. Even though a one-bedroom apartment is a small sale, you both made us feel like we were your priority from beginning to end. We appreciated being kept up to date each step of the way and how easy you made the whole experience and how you listened to what we had to say. Your commitment to your business and our wishes is proven in the great results you both achieved in getting the price we wanted for the property. As in all our dealings with your team, we found you not only professional but warm and friendly. We will have no hesitation in recommending you both whenever we can.

Sold in just 2 weeks for a record price for that apartment block

Sold in just 2 weeks for a record price for that apartment block

We recently decided to sell our investment property and we honestly could not have been more impressed with Stephen Bock and Karen Terry. Stephen and Karen gave us great advice on every aspect of the sale and even assisted us with styling our 1-bedroom apartment to help us maximise the sale price. We had previously spoken to another agent however, right from the very first meeting we knew that Stephen and Karen were the right agents to handle the sale. They kept in constant contact with us, keeping us informed every step of the way. We felt we were their number one priority throughout the entire campaign, right through to settlement. We were absolutely delighted with the result they achieved when the apartment sold in just 2 weeks for a record price for that apartment block. This far exceeded our expectations. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stephen Bock and Karen Terry for their professionalism, honesty and genuine care in how they conduct their business.

I would absolutely recommend Steve and his team

I went into the recent sale of my home with some apprehension after a poor agent experience last time out a few years ago. Determined not to make a mistake this time I asked 4 local Agents to pitch for the sale, Steve put forward by far the most convincing proposition. He was detailed and precise about their recommended strategy for the sale and put a compelling case forward for why I should choose him to sell my property. I had been given a very strong recommendation to use Steve by a past customer and my own judgment was that he was the best Agent to sell my house. I appointed Steve and have been delighted with the outcome. In fact, he exceeded my expectations in all respects over the past few weeks. Steve was extremely helpful with suggestions of how I could improve the property’s presentation prior to sale and in recommending tradesmen. He even project managed the tradesmen for me. Once the campaign started Steve was in touch daily with updates as to how it was progressing, and the home was sold well ahead of auction day. Steve provided strong advice on offers that were received and I always felt confident that he was working very hard to ensure the best possible outcome for me. I was extremely happy with the price received for the property and with every aspect of how Steve handled the process. His continual involvement post sale has also been of great value and their efforts in assisting me to find a new property very much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Steve and his team to any prospective seller and would be delighted to provide further feedback to any interested party. I will definitely be using Steve the next time I sell a property.

We are pleased to have made the right decision.

We are pleased to have made the right decision.

We are writing to thank you for the marvelous job you did recently in selling our property. Not only did you achieve a price that substantially exceeded our expectations but you did it in only a few days from listing. Your professional opinion and advice was totally accurate and effective. You clearly demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of our market and that your techniques work strongly in favour of your clients. Your consistent, prompt and honest feedback was greatly appreciated, we were not left ‘’wondering’’ at any time, finding it both refreshing and comforting. Given that we were in Melbourne throughout the entire process makes this all the more noteworthy. We were very impressed with your quiet professionalism and style when we purchased from you in the past and decided then, should we ever sell, you would be our first choice of agent. We are pleased to have made the right decision. We would not hesitate to highly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again.

He achieved the result I wanted!

I engaged Stephen Bock to help me sell my investment property. I deliberately set a target price 20% above market value. I was in no hurry to sell and thought I’d test the waters to see what I could get. In hindsight I didn’t think the property would sell at such a high price but thought I’d ‘give it a try’. I had known Stephen for some time and knew he had a reputation for selling ‘well’ and so engaged him to sell my property. Also, I figured anyone who had climbed Mt Everest, as Stephen has done, would have a more than even chance of selling my property at a premium. It didn’t take long before Stephen had a number of high offers and were able to secure a bid far higher than I had expected. The property ended up selling above my target high price. Stephen was a pleasure to deal with and professional in all aspects. I felt with Stephen that sale was in totally competent hands but most pleasing of all… he achieved the result I wanted!
