Valentine was asked to run a short campaign term auction and achieved a result which exceeded our maximum expectation by some fifteen per cent. We thank her for her expert advice after the first open and her communications and caring during and after the sale. The sales system offered by Gary J Smith worked very well.
We recently sold our beloved house at Blackwood 17 years after moving in. We were very happy with Valentines work when she sold our previous house so we sought her out for the sale of Blackwood and once again, she worked her magic. Her energy and enthusiasm were great and she provided us with sound advice and guidance throughout the process. She also recommended and worked with a stylist for our house who was brilliant. Her ethics are above reproach and we would definitely use her again.
We needed to sell our home of 37 years fairly quickly in order to downsize. Valentine came highly recommended by friends and we also knew that she had years of experience selling houses in our suburb. Valentine's skill, knowledge and helpful advice made things very much easier from beginning to end. Her friendly relaxed manner and highly professional approach to all aspects of the process produced a result beyond our expectations.
Valentine was the most experienced and professional real estate agent that I have had the pleasure to work with when selling my father's estate. She was always respectful in our communication and was prompt and thorough in her work. Her knowledge in her field is fantastic and she was able to steer me calmly throughout the whole process. I have sold and purchased two properties prior to this and my experience with Valentine was by far the best because she did not treat me like a man trying to sell me a car. Other women will understand this and why I say that I would thoroughly recommend her.
Right from the outset Valentine was on the ball with market analysis, communication of interested parties, and knowledge of the immediate area. I cannot fault her work; always timely; professional and personable. We got a great result and her follow-up assistance as we prepared the property ahead of settlement was generously offered and gratefully received. Well done to her and all concerned with our sale.
I asked Valentine for a market appraisal since she has vast experience in real estate and had sold several properties for other members of my family with great success. I had no hesitation in engaging Valentine to sell my home. Valentine provided me with a comprehensive assessment of how best to prepare my home to ensure that the presentation would appeal to potential buyers. She recommended that I sell the property by auction with a short intense marketing program. Her skill and attention to detail made sure everything was 'just right' thus producing the WOW factor. I was thrilled with the impressive video, attractive brochure and other promotional material which undoubtedly drew buyers to my property. Two open inspections were conducted on the first weekend with very high attendance. Valentine's immediate follow up with interested parties resulted in several offers. I was very happy to accept the highest offer prior to auction. Valentine kept me fully informed with reports on the level of interest and buyer feedback - her communication skills are excellent. She always assured me that the sale of my home would be a success. Because of Valentine's high level of professionalism and confidence, there was minimal stress for me throughout the whole process. Valentine's achievement in selling my home within a week of the first open inspection was exceptional. Thank you Valentine.
Valentine was friendly helpful and always professional. She “held our hands” through the whole process keeping us informed of all that was happening and made sure she had our best interest at the forefront at all times. She made the whole process easy and not at all stressful with a contract secured with the 1 st week of opens. We would definitely engage her again and recommend her to help you sell your property
What a lovely person in general. The moment Valentine came to appraise my home, she was helpful. As i needed some things around the house touched up, she shared all of her contacts with us to fix everything and was very efficient about everything. Valentine worked everything around me and my family as we have 3 young children and always made sure it was right for us. Her humour made it that little bit more fun also. We felt we were in the best hands every step of the way, and beyond, even offering her help to find our new home. I would highly recommend Valentine. Not just an agent!
Valentine definitely goes above and beyond the call of duty. I’m from Melbourne and was selling a property in Adelaide. Firstly Valentine assisted in providing me with great contacts to complete renovation works. She even engaged some trades people and oversaw works to completion while I was interstate. She gave a very honest appraisal of the house and was spot on with her estimated sale price. She was honest and trAnsparent throughout the sale process. Valentine is hard working and tireless in her pursuit of sales success. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Above all else, while other Agents may seduce you with inflated sale estimates Valentines hard work will not disappoint.
During the seventeen years I lived in Edwardstown I attended many Real Estate Open Inspections and Auctions, purely out ouf interest. Valentine Izdebski of Gary Smith Real Estate was present at many of them and I observed how she would listen and relate to people. Her "For Sale" boards were not up for long before a "SOLD" sign was placed upon. I recently engaged her for the sale of my property and was very satified with the outcome.
Of the agents I consulted to help me demolish a house, and subdivide and sell the land, Valentine was not only upfront about all the costs, she was also able to provide me with recommendations on surveyors, etc. This was invaluable when I was approaching the task with no prior experience. When it came to selling the land, she provided reasoned and knowledgeable advice and was able to firmly negotiate with potential buyers. This, combined with regular updates, made Valentine someone I was glad to have on my side.
