Agencies in Banks, ACT, 2906

If you use any real-estate agent other than Mel to sell your house you are -well, all I can say is that you have missed out on using the absolute best. Our beautiful but unique property had been on the market for a year before we were introduced to Mel by a friend. Skeptical at first, as we were over the 'we love your house' comments with no exchange of contracts after 1 year! By that time our house had been discounted and discounted to more than 200k below the original asking price. It came to a head when we were told to drop the price to 1M from 1.2M. We sacked that agent - a local expert! So along came Mel - well wasn't she a breath of fresh air amongst agents. We kept saying 'If we had $1 for every person who came to see our house and said "We love it", we'd be so rich we wouldn't need to sell it!' We were once told it wouldn't sell as there was no room for a caravan! REALLY - very narrow minded. Mel laughed at this ridiculous comment and proceeded to prove all wrong! She is clever and kind. We had so many special things we wanted to say about our house that we knew the right people would want to know. So she listened to these, saw value in these and that is what helped her sell. BECAUSE SHE GENUINELY LISTENED AND ACTED ON THIS INFORMATION. The other thing about Mel - you can talk to her anytime. Do you know how many times I have had a secretary from another company ring me, or other agents never return our calls. We were so jaded and so over real estate agents! Those with arrogance and disrespect and lack of knowledge or interest. I'm sure you've met them too! But Mel worked tirelessly, I mean really gave it her all. We would speak at all hours, any day, because she wanted this sale - yet never once did she ask us to drop our price for she believed in the property. THIS WAS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE - she had the experience, patience and real skill to know how to find a buyer and hold onto them, because she knows how to engage a buyer! She is perfect.

We couldn’t have wished for a better Realtor. Melissa is one of the nicest, helpful, experienced people I’ve ever met. Her communication skills and knowledge are exceptional.

Very pleasant and smooth communication, regardless of any questions and requirements can be answered in the first time. Melissa is very professional and friendly.

From our first meeting with Mark Wolens it was clear that he would be 'our man' to sell our much loved home. So impressed with his level of experience and knowledge of the market. His respectful and considerate manner made me feel we were in very safe hands especially whilst I was negotiating some extra life challenges. Mark always responded within minutes when I had a question. We are very grateful to Mark for achieving such an agreeable outcome for the sale of our property.

Mark was very accommodating with our needs for out of box viewing times. We felt heard and all our questions were answered clearly and efficiently. Very attentive during the entire buying process. Highly recommended.

As first-time sellers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one Nicholas provided. From our very first meeting, he made us feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain every step in detail, ensuring we always understood what was happening and what to expect next. We particularly appreciated Nicholas’ positive and upbeat nature, as well as his honesty and transparency. He was realistic about our property and the current market, which gave us confidence that we were receiving genuine advice. His genuine and honest approach made it easy to trust his advice throughout the entire process. Nicholas’ communication was excellent throughout, and he was always available to answer questions and keep us updated. Nicholas took much of the stress out of selling by guiding us through the process. His professionalism, flexibility, and dedication helped us achieve a great result, and we are incredibly grateful for his support. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

We knew Paul a bit personally before we ever got to a professional relationship. we have bought and sold property before, but not for many years so I was pretty much starting from scratch. Paul guided us through the process, was available as needed and always finished with "is there anything else I can do for you". He helped with getting a skip and provisioning labour to load it, finding cleaners, gardeners and handymen to get things ship shape, and we never felt either pressed or abandoned at any point. Paul was realistic in his assessment of our property with reasons and explained what sort of price to expect and why. Despite the soft market he managed to under promise and over deliver, and that in a very efficient time frame, Realistically I cannot see how the outcome of our sale could have been better.

We have worked with Melinda three times over the years - first buying our beloved property, renting it out for a time, and now selling it as we move to the next chapter of our lives. Melinda combines deep expertise on rural properties and the region, the highest degree of professionalism, and a genuine care for her clients. She is a rare combination and we are grateful to have had her representation. We would strongly recommend her services. Thank you Melinda.

Melinda has been a local agent in Burra for as long as I can remember. I have used her to buy and sell several rural properties in the area. She knows all potential buyers need to know when viewing rural residential properties and this makes the sale smooth and easy. Melinda knows her stuff and is not just in it for a quick sale, she will match people with the right properties to make sure the sales goes through. I would definitely recommend Melinda over newer agents as she just knows more about rural living and the Burra community.
