Realistic agent

Found Symon to be a pragmatic, conservative and effective agent. Found his approach refreshing and very importantly honest compared to some other pressure driven agents from larger companies. He certainly knows his craft, with his knowledge and professionalism a real plus. To Symon and the team thank you for securing the sale of our property.

Absolutely the best Agency and Agent (s)

Absolutely the best Agency and Agent (s)

On recommendation many years ago we chose Badenoch Real Estate to manage our rental property, they have done and still are doing a great job and we could not be happier. Due to circumstances beyond our control we had to sell the family home which had been in the family since 1962. The decision was not an easy one, and one filled with emotion. We chose Badenoch because of the excellent rapport we have had with them. Symon and Lucia were absolutely wonderful throughout the process from start to finish. Symon's extensive knowledge of the market and his unique approach, ethics,professionalism, friendly manner and Lucia's professionalism and eye for detail ensured a positive outcome. They were both very sympathetic to our situation. Nothing was too much trouble; we were kept informed of inspections, prospective buyers quickly and without fuss. They certainly had our best interest at heart. They were very supportive not only with the sale but also with other issues such as what to do with vintage clothing, and recommended several outlets. Thank you Symon, Lucia and the entire Badenoch team for your dedication and hard work. Many thanks also for the hampers, a very personal touch and totally unexpected. We recommend you highly; in our minds there is no better agent(s) or agency; you are definitely a cut above the rest. Hans and Gabi

Professional agent, wouldn't use anyone else!

Professional agent, wouldn't use anyone else!

Late in 2017, after using the team at Badenoch to manage the leasing of our investment unit in Kingston (wouldn't use anyone else!), we selected Symon to sell this property also. This was our first property sale and Symon and the team took the time to explain the sales process to us in easy to understand language, guided us through each step of the way, updated us immediately of any developments and were able to secure a great sales result in a timely manner which exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely recommend Symon and the team at Badenoch to anyone thinking of selling a property in Canberra in the future.

Reliable and trustworthy

Reliable and trustworthy

We were buyers in the very aggressive Canberra property market for about six months. During this time we had the displeasure of dealing with some very unimpressive, rude and lethargic Real Estate agents ... put it simply ... it’s a sellers market and the agents simply have no need to work with purchasers. Very impersonal and unhelpful. There were few exceptions to our experience .... Simon and Lucia were certainly heads and shoulders above their peers. Simon was factual and to the point .... he balanced his responsibility of representing his vendor while guiding us towards a successful real estate outcome for both parties. Lucia was a consummate professional, always returned phone calls and delivered on what she promised .... these are rare traits in the current Canberra Real Estate agent cohort. I would certainly (and already have) recommend Simon and Lucia to friends and family. I wish the reader good luck ... give Simon and Lucia a call ... they may be able to assist you, we were certainly very happy with our outcome.

Simon was a very pleasant person to deal with during the recent purchase of property in Canberra. He was very accessible during the process of putting in an offer and contacting the vendor, and communicated responses to us very promptly. After the offer was accepted Simon went out of his way to ensure that we were able to have a second inspection of the property and go through all the appropriate items and ensure they were in good working order. I highly recommend Simon as an excellent agent.

Fantastic Agent

Fantastic Agent

Buying a house is an interesting journey and requires dozens of house inspection which means we met many agents along the way. I have to say Symon and Lucia were fantastic and easily up there with the best. We missed out on the first auction we attended with Symon however his encouragement and assistance to find the NEXT one was second to none. We were successful at the second auction with Symon and the advice on price was very accurate therefore we were well prepared. Post sale Lucia was also amazing as we were always kept on the loop and always aware of where things were at. All in all Symon and Lucia made this stressful process as smooth as it could be. I highly recommend them. Thank you Nick B

Amazing Agent and Company

Amazing Agent and Company

Symon and Lucia were an absolute joy to work with - they were knowledgeable, responsive to any queries and always sympathetic to the intricacies of an Estate sale. Every stage of the sale process, from pre-listing to settlement was made as transparent and fuss free as possible. Symon always provided an update on open for inspections and all follow up calls quickly and completely. If you are looking for an agent and agency who will really focus on you and your needs then you cannot go past Badenoch - 5 stars all the way.

This agent is exceptional

Symon, Lucia, and the rest of the Badenoch team were a pleasure to work with when recently selling my home through them. My daughter recommended them to me, after Badenoch acted on their behalf in renting out - and later selling - their Canberra home, after moving to Queensland. I was impressed with the integrity of Symon and Lucia, the lack of sales hype, and the way they presented information in a practical, factual manner. Their advice on how best to prepare my home for sale, and what selling in the ACT entailed, was relevant and very helpful. They were thorough, flexible, maintained regular contact, and kept me fully updated on how the property was faring in its exposure to the market. I felt like part of the team, rather than simply potential dollar signs. There were personal touches too, which surprised and delighted me ... such as flowers to celebrate the first open house viewing. Badenoch were scrupulous in guiding me through all stages of the sale, and in bringing everything to a timely conclusion. I have bought and sold a number of homes in my time, and these guys have by far been the best real estate agents I have dealt with. They have set a very high and professional standard, and I would recommend them unreservedly to anyone wishing to sell or purchase residential property.

I have been using Badenoch ever since their inception, both for managing my rental properties and also in the sale of several properties. Every transaction has been flawless! I have recommended Badenoch to my family and colleagues and all have had their high expectations exceeded by Badenoch. Patrick Bodegraven

Canberra's # 1 Agent - you won't find better!

Symon is definitely a cut above any agent we have ever dealt with. He is professional and on trend with all aspects of the real estate market. During the recent sale of our rental property he made the whole process flow seamlessly with his attention to detail and regular communication - we couldn't fault it. Symon's wealth of knowledge in the industry instils confidence and trust and he is always friendly and approachable. He genuinely cares about his clients and their individual situation. We highly recommend Symon and look forward to contacting him for any future real estate dealings.
