Disappointing Experience

Disappointing Experience

Decided to write this as being the business / most active agent does not always mean the best. Items that needed to be addressed. 1. Price was offers over however the advert wording stated you could buy it for the actual number listed. Seeing that Steve was confident he would get the sale above what we had it listed at it was very clear this wasnt going to happen. IT took me 2 attempts to get this changed. This probably cost me 10-15k 2.Phone call to secondary agent (Steve's son) whithout saying who I was, I was left very uninspired as he didn't know anything about the property 3. Very little communication following open homes or private inspections, except a generated RP data report which i didn't get most weeks but tells you nothing anyway until I mentioned it was acceptable 4. Negotiation was very poor, or thats how it appeared as I have no idea how Steve was negotiating with the buyer. After using 3 agents in the area to sell this property the experience was by far the least superior. yes he sold the property but then that wasn't hard when it was 30k less than the other agents had sold it for and $20k less than I bought it for 10 years ago. The most disappointing experience is Steve is so detached from the process so don't expect to get his experience, ensure you interview who the person is that will be selling your house for you. I can however say that Fiona in the office is lovely.

Fantastic Agent

Having moved away, we needed a trustworthy and competent Agent that could sell our property quickly and take care of our house, whilst we were absent. Steve and the team at NGU did not disappoint, in fact they exceeded our expectations and we would certainly recommend them.

Knowledgable Agent with an amazing Personal Assistant

After viewing the home with Fiona, we placed an offer on paper within hours of which it was negotiated and signed within 24 hours. We had a little more complicated financial situation which took a little more time than normal. We found Fiona to be patient, kind and understanding with great communication between us and the seller which in hindsight is the exact reason why we are now settled in our new home. A great all round experience.

3 Day Sale & Record Price for Suburb!

3 Day Sale & Record Price for Suburb!

We highly recommend Steve Athanates from NGU Real Estate. We found Steve to be very easy to get along with and definitely knows his stuff!... Obviously comes from experience. Steve and his team came up with fantastic advertising and video, which nearly had me not wanting to sell our beautiful home but I didn't have much of a chance to think about it as it had a contract 3 days after listing! We also sold for a record price in our area. We could not have asked for a more stress free sale. So have no hesitation.. Pick Steve, he sells houses :)

Review for Real Estate Agent Steve Athanates

Steve was fantastic to deal with. He was very open, honest and professional at all times but most off all he cared. I have bought and sold several homes over the years and in all honesty the process involved in selling our home went so smoothly and hassle free and Steve was a the main reason for this. Highly recommended.

I was only contacted by Steve after he had negotiated with the buyer. At no time for the hole sale period did anyone contact me to inform me of how things are going 😬. But then I get a call not to say someone interested, But to say he’s been negotiating the price and he felt he had pushed them pretty hard. I instructed him to ask for $5000 more and they agreed 😊. How hard did he really push them šŸ¤”I don’t know because I don’t know how long he was negotiating with them because he didn’t make the time to call me šŸ˜”. It’s like this stupid technology based questions I’m doing now 😬. I’ve declined it probably 6 times 😔. Why can’t Steven make time to ring the people that pays the Commission to him 😬. Kind Regards Travis Hyland

We had four real estate appraisals prior to signing with NGU. Steve gave us a really positive vibe and convinced us that he was really determined to sell our property. He walked us through the marketing strategy and how to get the best result. In short, he sold our house at the first open home and we could not be happier. We truly believe that Steve was the difference. The marketing strategy and write up he gave our property was sensational, resulting in maximum attendance at the first open home and a sense of competition. Subsequently, he sold our house for more than list price within two days of display on realestate.com. Results speak louder than words! We would highly recommend Steve and his team of professionals to anyone.
