When we wanted to sell our Arcadia property, we contacted several Real Estate Agents. Shire Realty was a standout from our first meeting with Aaron Godfrey. We felt confident that the entire process would be handled well by Shire. This turned out to be correct, and, our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. We were given a fair and honest valuation that turned out to be correct and we were delighted with the outcome. Aaron was very attentive to all of our needs and requests and was punctual for all appointments which was appreciated. He was able to identify the genuine buyers from the time-wasters. We had a sale after only 8 weeks that went without a hitch. There are several other properties near us listed with other agents that have been on the market for months. If you want the best in the business go no further than Shire Realty. Aaron and Shire Realty are a standout in our opinion and we could not be happier.

Gavan was excellent to work with. He worked tirelessly on our behalf and achieved a result we were happy with. He was always easy to get hold of, kept us well informed throughout the process, and went above and beyond to get the job done. His commitment made a real difference, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Hi there, I have bought and sold lots of properties and done many transactions and dealing with Gavan has bean great as he is always trying to work towards a win win outcome on the transaction. His communication, follow up, and character in dealing has been great.

We could not be more delighted with the service we received. After a period of little progress and a lack of communication from the original agent, Gavan was engaged, and the difference was immediate. He brought a level of professionalism, commitment, and energy that was genuinely refreshing. From day one, his communication was clear and consistent, and he followed through on every detail. His knowledge of the area and the market was evident, and in less than 2 weeks he achieved a sale. Beyond his expertise and commitment, he is amiable, open and responsive, which made the whole process smooth. We felt fully supported from start to finish. We are truly grateful for his hard work and commitment. There is no hesitation in recommending Gavan to anyone contemplating the sale of their home.

We had been looking for a property for over a year, and honestly from the first time we met Gavan he was just amazing. From start to finish, he was genuine, honest, and so easy to communicate with. He really listened to what we wanted and made the whole process stress-free. We can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking to buy or sell, Gavin is the one!

We wish to thank Gavan for a truly remarkable experience in walking us through the sale of our property. Dealing with Gavan was a breath of fresh air, at a time of heightened anxiety related to the sales process of selling a house. Gavan was very patient and clear in his communication from the start, without adding to the list of frustrations associated with selling a house. Gavan took the time to understand what the home meant to us, and took the time to understand the emotional connection to both seller and buyers to ensure that he was able to clearly articulate the various elements and aspects of the property, as well as to the local and surrounding suburbs to which he appeared very well versed. I will have no hesitation in working with Gavan in the future, nor to recommend him to anybody that feels selling a family home is more than a paper transaction.

We are so grateful to have had Gavan guiding us through the purchase of our new property. On meeting him, he was warm, approachable, & genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome. Buying property can often feel overwhelming, but Gavan’s professionalism & friendly manner made the entire process smooth & stress-free. What stood out most was his reliability & speed of action. Whether it was liaising with solicitors, coordinating with third parties, or keeping us up to date on progress, nothing was ever too much trouble. He was always a step ahead, making sure we felt supported & confident at every stage. His communication was clear & consistent, & we always knew we could rely on him to provide honest advice & timely updates. The property we purchased was a unique acreage bush block, and this is where Gavan’s expertise was clear. His deep local knowledge & understanding of the area gave us incredible confidence in our decision. He was able to answer every question, big or small, & helped us see not just the property itself, but also the opportunities it presented for the future. Just as importantly, his strong relationship with the vendor was invaluable, he built a genuine bridge between both parties, creating a spirit of cooperation that made the negotiation & final agreement positive. We also want to highlight the trust we developed in Gavan throughout this journey. His integrity and dedication were evident at every step, & it was clear that he genuinely cared about achieving the right result for everyone involved. That rare combination of professionalism, experience, & kindness made all the difference to us. Thanks to Gavan’s involvement, what could have been a stressful transaction instead became an exciting & rewarding experience. We are beyond grateful for his guidance and assistance, & we could not be happier with the outcome. Without hesitation, we would recommend Gavan to anyone looking to buy or sell their property.

From our firsting meeting we were impressed with Gavin's enthusiasm, we loved his ideas on how to promote the house. Gavan always helped or offered to help in many areas easing my concerns. I would definitely ask for Gavan if I ever sold another house.

My son and I purchased a property being sold by Gavan. Treated us with respect, fairness and honesty. Involved my 9yo son throughout the process keeping him engaged and excited. Thanks for the hard work getting it across the line Gavan! Highly recommend Gavan whether you’re using him to sell your property or buying from him!

We recently sold our property with Gavin and couldn’t be happier with the experience. As we don’t live locally, we relied on him heavily, and he went above and beyond at every stage. Gavin’s deep local knowledge was invaluable — he clearly understands the area, the market, and what buyers are looking for. His advice on pricing, timing, and strategy was always thoughtful and well-informed. What really set Gavin apart was his willingness to handle the small extras that made a big difference. From helping with access to keeping an eye on the property, nothing was ever too much trouble. It gave us great peace of mind knowing someone was looking after things on the ground. He also kept us informed throughout the process. We never had to chase him for updates — his communication was proactive, clear, and consistent. We always felt fully in the loop, even from afar. Gavin is also just a genuinely great person to deal with — personable, honest, and easygoing. He made what could have been a stressful process simple and smooth. Most importantly, he delivered a fantastic result. We felt confident every step of the way and were thrilled with the outcome. If you’re looking for a professional, hands-on agent who truly looks after his clients, we highly recommend Gavin.
