Tony has a formula for success based on attending all the open for inspections himself and building rapport with potential bidders. He managed the process from start to finish which is what you want in an agent. I enjoyed working with Tony.
We found Tony to have great local area knowledge and up to speed on what the market is doing in the area that led us to a great sale. Thanks for all your help all the way through to settlement.
From the first meeting with Tony, I felt very comfortable and informed about my big decision to sell and never felt pressured throughout the whole process. His knowledge of the area and market was definitely worth his weight in gold!
Tony worked very hard to get us a good result. Tony and his team negotiation was excellent and tony has exceptional knowledge of the area and market.
Tony's communication ,knowledge and expertise with auctions was very reassuring throughout the whole campaign from start to auction day . Couldn't have been happier with the campaign from advertising quality to auction result on the big day under Tony's guidance . Tony's down to earth and friendly approach was always consistent and was very pleasing during the stress that comes with selling a home . Well done Tony and thanks for all your hard work .
We have seen Tony sell many properties in this area over the years and he gets consistently good results for his vendors. We found he answered our queries openly and honestly. He maintained a high level of engagement throughout the campaign with us and the potential buyers. We would also like to mention his support staff, in particular Stephanie. We would highly recommend Tony and the Barry Plant team.
Initially we selected & interviewed 3 of the most popular real estate agencies in the Niddrie area. Our analysis/criteria included the following: 1. Price range 2. Commission 3. Advertising 4. No. of sales of similar properties in Niddrie above $1 million in the last year 5. Best sale in Niddrie area. Against this criteria Barry Plant rated first against 4 of the 5 criteria. Against the criteria - No. of sales of similar properties ... Barry Plant had sold 11 properties; the next agent 4 & the last agent 2. On the basis of this analysis we choose Barry Plant to sell our property. Tony Catena ably assisted by Stephanie Radman were engaged to sell our property. Tony's qualities are honesty, integrity & professionalism. He displayed these qualities in an exemplary manner. Throughout the campaign he communicated with us regularly identifying 6 people were interested in the property; 5 of whom bid at the auction. On auction day he performed in an exemplary way. It was a difficult auction - slow to start with chaotic bidding throughout the auction. While most auction's are structured - $25,000, then $10,000, then $5,000, then $1,000 bids. At our auction Tony was willing to take any bids in any order. So we had some people bidding $10,000; some bidding $5,000; some bidding $1,000; some bidding $500 at various times throughout the auction. The result $115,000 above the reserve price. The best price achieved in the street so far. We were over the moon with the result. We were extremely happy with Tony's & Stephanie's assistance & performance throughout the campaign. Tony, Stephanie & Barry Plant come with our highest recommendation. Ron & Moira.
