The sale of my Mum's deceased estate was a task that I was extremely apprehensive about, especially considering I hadn't ever had to sell a house before. Brendon was extremely empathetic, patient and understanding throughout the entire process, taking the time to explain things simplistically and genuinely ensuring that my best interests were his priority. I can't thank him enough for his guidance and support throughout the past few months- from initial discussions through to settlement.
Kristal is a consummate professional with an exceptional understanding of Kotara and the surrounding suburbs. Her clear and consistent communication kept us informed throughout every stage of the sales process. We were thrilled with the final result and have no hesitation in recommending Kristal for her strong market knowledge and outstanding negotiation skills.
Exceptional Service, highly professional and trustworthy. Explained the process and qualified the buyers. The property sold pre-market in one week, after 3 months with another agent. This was an amazing result, and every interaction with Kristal and the team at Salt Property was stress-free.
Katie and Liliana were a fantastic team — professional, supportive, and genuinely lovely to deal with. They worked incredibly hard throughout the campaign and achieved an excellent price for my property. During a competitive bidding war, they kept all parties well informed, calm, and engaged, which made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and well managed. Their communication and professionalism were outstanding. Highly recommend.
Kristal was amazing in selling my house. She knew the market inside out and was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
We sought Kristal’s help to sell our home because of her experience and knowledge of our local market. She was patient and supportive and when we were ready to go she helped us sell our home before going to the open market. Her guidance and professionalism helped us achieve our desired outcome quickly without fuss. Thank you Kristal and the Salt team
Kristal was wonderful to work with. She helped make selling our family home a smooth and comfortable process. She has great communication and always kept us updated. We would highly recommend Kristal.

Scott Richardson from Elders Real Estate Lambton recently acted on my behalf to sell my family home. Scott's knowledge of the local market and area was extensive and I believe truly added to me achieving a fantastic result! Scott and his team including the wonderful Sue Odgers, really made my real estate experience easy and stress free. The marketing they suggested worked brilliantly and I was impressed with how they read the makret and potential buyers so well. Scott was a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much trouble (even moving the bins for the photo shoot)! Scott's communication was clear and concise and he was absolutely professional at all times. I would highly recommend using Scott Richardson and the team from Elders Real Estate Lambton, if you are thinking of selling your home! Thank you Scott!!
Cameron is a personable and proactive estate agent. His knowledge of real estate in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie is second to none. This is the 2nd property Cameron has sold for me over the last 12 months.His communication was daily and solid work ethic is commendable. Cameron has gone above and beyond once again and I highly recommend to entrust him in selling your property.
Steve’s knowledge of the market was top notch. His market valuation was right on the number the property sold for despite having next to no comparable sales. He kept us informed throughout the process and his marketing proved to be effective with a good number of bidders at the auction. A great communicator with a strong work ethic, he made sound suggestions to improve our chances of a successful result. Very happy with the service and the outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve if your selling.
