Steve was able to conduct a special visit of property outside advertised hours - Very responsive, available for queries and resolved issues quickly
Steve and Alex were excellent to work with every step of the way. They communicated well, presented the property exceptionally, and used their extensive knowledge and skills to get a positive outcome for us.
Samuel was very friendly and professional and treated us with kindness and respect. He always replied in a timely manner, explained things clearly, and was an absolute pleasure to correspond with. He always answered our calls or, if he was busy, returned them promptly. We would like to thank Samuel for ensuring that buying our first home went as smoothly as possible and for making the process such a positive experience with his friendliness and support.
Highly recommend the Blackshaw Team for their communication, market knowledge, professionalism and negotiation skills. Special kudos to William who maintained transparent and timely communication that led to an outcome beyond my expectations. I felt like I was in safe hands from day one thanks to their preparation and expertise, and the end result reflected this.
Steph was easy to work with and honest about the process. If more REA's were like this, the industry stereotype would be very different. Steph let me have time to process, reflect and submit an offer. She responded to questions within a timely manner. I'm not going to be in the market any time soon, but if and when that day comes, I'll be reaching out to Steph first. If she treats buyers this well, I can only imagine how she treats clients.
Tim Ngo was fantastic to work with. He was professional, approachable and highly responsive throughout the sale. Tim worked seamlessly with the team, kept things moving efficiently and helped make the entire process smooth and stress-free. His market knowledge and attention to detail contributed to a fast sale and a strong result. I’d happily work with Tim again and would recommend him to anyone looking to sell.
Grahame O’Brien was outstanding to work with. He was professional, friendly, efficient and highly effective throughout the entire process. His advice on improvements to the property clearly paid off, helping achieve a strong sale price and a fast result. Grahame’s experience showed at every step - he made the process straightforward, stress-free and easy to navigate. I would absolutely work with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell in Canberra.
Selling my Canberra property with Tom Palmer was an excellent experience. I originally bought the apartment through his mum, who is also a real estate agent and now partners with Tom, so having him handle the sale made the process feel full‑circle and genuinely meaningful. They are a fantastic team. Tom’s communication was clear, timely and transparent throughout. His market knowledge is strong, and his advice on pricing, presentation and strategy was always well‑reasoned. He negotiated confidently and professionally, securing a great result while keeping the process calm and straightforward. I felt supported at every stage and would recommend him without hesitation.
Nick and Angie’s professionalism, transparency, knowledge about the area, commitment and fantastic communication resulted in the successful sale of our property. Throughout the process, they provided regular updates on interest, inspections and any dealings they had with potential buyers. They answered all of our questions with professionalism and honesty and we felt they genuinely wanted us to have enough information and confidence to make informed decisions about our property. Nicks market insight and knowledge is invaluable. He provided us with really considered advice and recommendations which created an overall positive experience. We are so pleased with our experience with Nick and Angie and would not hesitate to recommend them.
