Selling a property in the current market comes with a lot of uncertainty, particularly with rising interest rates and broader domestic and offshore economic pressures. Throughout the entire campaign, Xavier’s understanding of the market, buyer behaviour and strategy was exceptional. What stood out most was his calm, clear and pragmatic approach. He consistently managed my concerns — often multiple times a day — with patience, honesty and professionalism. On the days where I felt overwhelmed or uncertain, Xavier remained steady, reassuring and solutions-focused, while always keeping me informed and managing expectations realistically. His ability to balance empathy with honest advice made an incredibly stressful process feel far more manageable. Even when we lost our strongest purchaser on the morning of the auction, Xavier handled the situation seamlessly and still delivered an outstanding result later that day. What also makes Xavier and the team different is that they genuinely know the Inner West — because it’s their home too. They understand the community, the people and the nuances of each pocket and street. There’s an authenticity and local knowledge that simply can’t be manufactured. They don’t just sell property — they take the time to understand your personal situation and guide you towards the right outcome. True professionals and, quite honestly, all-round geniuses at what they do. If you’re buying or selling in the Inner West, look no further than Xavier, Filippo and the team at Raine & Horne Marrickville and Dulwich Hill. A genuine thank you to Xavier for the outstanding result. I’m truly grateful and honestly didn’t expect such a fantastic outcome!

I worked with a number of agents in my property search and Xavier was by far the best of them all. He understood what I was after and worked hard to locate it. He and the other staff of Raine & Horne made the whole experience both easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Xavier and Raine & Horne in your property search.

Knew the market well and kept me updated on all aspects of the sale. No pressure to make decisions regarding sale and acted professionally throughout the whole experience. Listened if I had concerns. Would recommend to others wanting to sell their property.

Xavier is an excellent communicator, providing honest and clear feedback throughout the process. He sets your expectations and works hard to meet and exceed them. I strongly recommend him and the R&H team.

Xavier communicated well, was professional and was always very helpful and knowledgable. I enjoyed working with him.

We had an excellent experience working with Xavier throughout the sale of our property. From day one, he was transparent about the process and set clear expectations, which gave us a lot of confidence. His communication was outstanding — he was always responsive and made a point of updating us immediately after every open home and following any important conversations with prospective buyers. We always felt informed and across what was happening. The entire process ran smoothly from start to finish, and his professionalism made what can be a stressful experience feel straightforward and well managed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.

Xavier has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He has been consistent from the start, outlining the nature of the property campaign, preparing everything to detail and getting things done in quick succession in order to keep the ball moving. Xavier has unmatched local area knowledge when it comes to his portfolio, he has been able to quickly demonstrate to potential buyers, where value can be added and achieved and utilises that knowledge to capitalise on buyer interest in order to achieve real results. I am extremely thankful for Xavier's hard work, it is not often that you get a real estate agent who knows what they are doing. Xavier is easily one of the inner wests best agents, not only does he use his local knowledge, he uses his sales skills and his connections in order to be at the forefront of every campaign he runs. I would highly recommend Xavier to anyone looking at selling their property.

We are truly thankful for Xavier’s remarkable commitment to us, leading his team and achieving awesome results for the sale of our home. Always, respectful and kind. Best regards ..

I am very happy with Xavier's professionalism and dedication. Nothing was too much. Xavier responded promptly to my questions & gave timely feedback after each open. He is friendly & knowledgeable. I can thoroughly recommend Xavier and his team.

I couldn’t be happier with the result of selling my home with Xavier Lucas. He exceeded my price expectations and made the entire process easy and stress free. I originally met Xavier while inspecting another property and could tell that he treated buyers with genuine respect and professionalism which I think is extremely important when selling your home. He provided great advice to me as the vendor, organised styling and clearly knew how to position the property for the local market. Xavier also gave me detailed feedback after every inspection, which kept me informed and confident throughout the campaign. He is friendly, professional and has excellent local market knowledge, delivering a well structured campaign and the auction process was outstanding. I always felt supported and in safe hands and I would recommend Xavier to anyone looking to sell.

As buyers agents, we work closely with many selling agents, and our experience working with Xavier was excellent. He is a highly professional agent who was seamless to deal with throughout the process. His strong knowledge of the building, including the strata was very helpful. He was also extremely patient and very helpful when more information was necessary. We look forward to working with Xavier again and will happily recommend him.
