My Mother passed away and I was required to sell her house on behalf of other siblings. I auditioned 5 real estate agents, 4 of them suggested around the same selling price and said they would have no troubles selling the property. For me they seemed more interested in selling the property for a quick sale and to receive their commission, then they were in working to get us to get maximum price.. I spoke to Steve Lane from Coolum Beach Real estate, who recommended a significant higher valuation of the property. Steve was more personal and inclusive in all aspects of the process and sale of the property. He was also very understanding of our situation, (mother had died and whole process was difficult) and was helpful with suggestions on how to achieve our maximum value. The result was Steve sold our property in 3 weeks getting us his highest recommended value of the property, which was significantly higher then all other agents suggestions. In short I would have no hesitations in future for using or recommending Steve Lane and Coolum Beach real estate for any property sales. Thanks Steve

“Hi Steve, We just wanted to say many thanks to you for making the purchasing of our new house and the selling of our existing house a painless exercise. You also achieved the sale of our house in record time (within 4 weeks) at a difficult time of year November/December. You kept us up to date on everything that was happening. You are extremely professional and it was an absolute pleasure working with you. Stephen and I wish you every success in your new venture and we will highly recommend you to our friends. We would also like to wish you and Cara a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Please stay in touch would love to have you over for a celebratory drink in the not too distant future. Warm regards Marise and Stephen Weir”

“As you must already know we have had the block of land listed with 3 agents prior to R & W over a 10 - 12 month period. Of these three agents only one got a verbal offer whilst the other two did not have any success at all. All three agents held the property for sale for at least three months. I believe your approach to selling the block by introducing potential buyers to local builders and designers was a novel and clever strategy which obviously resulted in this positive outcome. Also your regular attention to follow up with interested parties and the feedback to us along with Cara’s professional handling of the administrative side of the sale was really impressive. We are also looking forward to sharing a bottle with you both on our back deck when we return from Italy. Ciao, Julie”

Steve spent a lot of time with us prior to putting our house on the market helping us out with every aspect and when we decided it was the right time to put our home on the market he talked us through the whole thing. His ideas really did sell the house - not to mention he is so easy to talk to and his attitude is always so positive as well as always having communication open which really helped us as we are always at work so it meant quite a few after hours chats ( Thanks Steve!). He was there to re assure us when we needed it and really made the whole process really easy and stress free! Due to Steve being so easy to get along with, buyers are not afraid to talk to Steve and ask all the questions they want to ask - he never makes you feel as though you are asking silly questions and we found that really important as we wanted any prospective buyers to be able to access all the information that they needed. Our home sold when we wanted it to but before we expected it to, this was all due to Steve and Carla's hard work. We will recommend anyone to use Steve to sell their home and as far as we are concerned he is the best real estate agent in Australia! Thanks mate for all of your hard work! Mitch and Mel.

It wasn't going to be an easy one but you were always positive and supportive and it happened. Our beautiful home was sold with minimal drama and stress. You work hard to achieve results. Best wishes. John and Bronwyn R.

We have bought and sold many properties over the years, but have never had the experience as we had with Steve and Cara. What an experience. The first meeting left us very confident and it only got better. Steve had an approach to selling our property that was superlative and with Cara, her knowledge and expertise in advertising, photography, editorials and open homes the property sold earlier than expected. We applaud their efforts and approach to the selling of our property as it was unique in size, design, price and location. With Steve and Cara you certainly get a proactive team, one that works and gets results. Steve has a manner that all could relate to. He is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, informative and very professional. He treats us as if we were his only clients, making time to be there for us, even to the extreme of looking after and selling our property whilst we were on an overseas venture.”

Thanks again Steve for the time you applied to selling the property. Your feedback was always encouraging, resulting in a good sale. Yvonne

Professional, ethical, thorough, reliable, committed to excellence and dedicated to client results, Steve was easy to work with, providing the results we were looking for on both occasions he acted as our agent.

Steve marketed and sold a Coolum apartment for me in late 2014 and provided a professional and communicative service. Despite a relatively soft market, he "hung in there" and eventually got the result that we were after!

Steve was such a pleasure to work with. He was professional and courteous every step of the way. When we misunderstood any part of the process he was patient and resolved all our concerns and questions. Very happy with the outcome of the sale and the experience we had with Steve.

“We have only the highest praise for Steve Lane. Whether the real estate market is in the doldrums or going well, he has always been enthusiastic, hard-working, reliable and agreeable. He has been an all-round great agent, and we intend to do more business with him.” Lynda & Stuart Scott, Coolum
