After living in and loving our Ferny Creek home for 30 years, selling it was a significant and emotional decision. Our Ferny Creek home was far more than just a property to us — it represented 30 years of memories, family life and connection to the area — so choosing the right agent was incredibly important. From our very first meeting we knew Amanda was exactly the right person to trust with our home. She immediately understood its character, setting and the things that made it so special. It was clear she genuinely appreciated the property and knew exactly how to present it to the market. Throughout the entire marketing and sales campaign Amanda’s communication was outstanding. She kept us informed at every step, was honest and realistic in her advice, and handled everything with professionalism while still making the experience feel positive and even enjoyable. Amanda’s understanding of our home and the local market clearly played a major role in achieving such an outstanding result. The final sale price exceeded our expectations and we were absolutely delighted with the outcome. Amanda and her team were the complete opposite of the old stereotype of a pushy real estate agent — instead they were genuine, transparent, professional and a pleasure to work with. If you are considering selling in the Dandenong Ranges, we would strongly recommend speaking with Amanda and the Bell Real Estate Olinda team before anyone else.

Amanda exceeded all of our expectations. We were new to the house selling business and she guided us through the process with with a deep knowledge of the local market, the pitfalls and challenges. She managed our expectations and delivered a great result. She was a delight to work with and demonstrated a great degree of professionalism, expertise and, importantly, patience!

When first arriving, Bell Real Estate praised the property, showing care and understanding why we loved it so much. Then when Bell-Amanda Rakusic came, she was super-friendly and efficient, on-the-ball, keeping us in the loop with great message and email communications. PLUS Amanda provided a vast host of services that I cannot praise highly enough. For example, Amanda's 'Karen Cleaning Service' was so brilliant, if I wasn't selling I'd use them weekly. The 'getting house and garden ready for sale' tradies provided excellent quotations and arrived when they said they would. AND did the job faster than expected. Bravo! I highly recommend Amanda and Bell Real Estate … the most exemplary in the Dandenong Ranges. Ace!

Sharyn managed the sale of our property recently, with reassuring expertise and knowledge of the industry in our area of the Dandenong Ranges. She was warm and listened well to any questions we had and we felt safe in her hands. We sold the property quickly, at a price we thought was fair for the market at the time. Thank you Sharyn.

It was a pleasure to deal with you. Appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to my many questions!
