We met Stuart Gan through his acting for the vendors to us of an investment property we purchased almost sight unseen at auction on Central Coast beachfront. We were impressed by his ability to manage the conflict of vendors interest with purchasers interest, whilst staying well within his remit as the vendors agent. We demolished the house and built a beautiful architect designed new one which we held and lived in for five years before selling it, as planned. We bought at the top of the then market and sold well on its way down, to our complete satisfaction. Stuart's well honed REA skills, very strong network of relevant media, marketing contacts, hard work and ethical standards made for a relatively painless and short private treaty sale to Sydney people we were happy would value the property for its excellence of design, quality build and location. That mattered to us (nearly!) as much as the price, as we retained another property further along the beach. We had to pay more than we had anticipated in third party marketing expenses to reach beyond the coast to Sydney, but Stuart guided us well and was right in all his advice. That was our only niggle, and it paid off. He secured our price and we always felt he was batting for us. It was tricky to use him as agents work such a lot on relationships and we had formed a relationship previously with a more local agent who was and is a very nice guy, but we felt his market access was more limited than Stuarts, and so we made the hard decision to engage Stuart over the other fellow, and remain confident that it was right to value skills and network access over a closer relationship, albeit at some cost to that relationship. We recommend Stuart Gan unreservedly. We would use him again.
Stuart's reviews
Stuart is a very good negotiator with a high level of local knowledge. Having purchased a home from him I’d have no hesitation in trusting him to sell our home In the future
We had been looking at Pearl Beach area for a long time and Stuart and his fab team patiently waited until we found exactly what we were after. He sold our house at the price we were after and found us a great place to buy and engineered everything to ensure settlement for both properties happened at the same time seamlessly. Cannot speak highly enough of how good it was to work with Stuart, he delivered beyond expectations.
Knows the central coast market better than anyone. We relied on his excellent judgment and were very happy with the outcome.
Stuart responded quickly and well and when negotiating understood my brief and prosecuted it well. His back up office staff were all very pleasant and efficient and responded promptly to all our requests.
I really can't believe I could sell my property while out of the country due to covid lockdown. Thanks to Stuart's expertise not only in communication but in the ability to engage me inspite of distance. His team kept me up-to-date with the progress of the campaign on a weekly basis. Ultimately, I feel that the sale of my property was very well conducted and negotiated.
Stuart & his team were excellent in helping us sell our property. They have a great knowledge of the market & the steps you need to take to prepare for & complete a successful sale.
Stuart’ knowledge of the market is demonstrated by his success in selling property in Beach. We would not hesitate to use Stuart if we were to sell on.
I’ve found Stuart so experienced, professional and trustworthy. He has given the sale of my property his best attention and I am very pleased wth the result and impressed by his knowledge of the market.
Stuart and his team are reliable, consistent and genuinely care about you and the sale or purchase of your home. I have bought and sold through Central Coast Realty and they will be my first choice everytime with confidence
