I couldn’t have asked for anything more from my real estate agent. From the very beginning, Kathleen’s intuition and ability to understand my needs were exceptional, combined with outstanding attention to detail throughout every stage of the process. What truly set her apart was her ability to connect with prospective buyers on a personal level, creating genuine engagement and understanding rather than simply facilitating a transaction. Her unique knowledge and understanding of the Valentine community was invaluable and clearly contributed to an outstanding result. Kathleen’s professionalism, communication, care and commitment was exemplary. She is the epitome of best practice in real estate and went above and beyond in every respect. I am incredibly grateful for the way my sale was handled and would have no hesitation in recommending Kathleen Matinlassi to anyone looking for an exceptional agent. Couldn’t ask for anything more!
We cannot thank Kathleen and her team enough who recently sold a property for us. From our initial meeting we felt like we were in the best hands. Kathleen's knowledge and genuine love of the local area was so reassuring. Communication was on point, updates so prompt. Happy to say we sold in a very quick time frame. Would highly recommend Kathleen, such an easy agent to deal with and nothing was ever an issue
Fantastic communicator and genuinely a very efficient operator as well as being a nice person very easy to get along with many thanks Kathleen and staff
Because Troy has been involved with the real estate industry for so many years, he has excellent contacts. Any additional services that were required to enhance the property were arranged quickly and easily by him and his team. His personable and engaging manner with us and, I imagine, the happy buyers of our property, ensured an extremely fast sale, with the selling price above what we hoped to achieve. I would heartily recommend Troy Duncan to anyone interested in buying, selling or even renting a home. Thank you so much, Troy.
Kathleen and her team were a pleasure to work with throughout the sale of our property. She was easy to deal with, approachable, and kept us well informed by providing prompt feedback after every open home. Her knowledge of the local suburb (and being a local) gave us valuable insight into potential buyers and helped guide the sales process. Despite a very challenging market, Kathleen remained professional and proactive, ultimately achieving a successful sale. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to sell their property.
Matt was great at keeping us informed and was supportive in all our questions for both selling and buying.He had great market knowledge. No BS and we felt very comfortable with him and the agency. Thanks Matt
Troy Duncan and his team were professional and supportive throughout the process of the sale. Troy considered every detail of the property, and how to maximise its selling potential with the addition of styling, indoor plant hire, cleaning and landscaping services. The people providing these services were similarly prompt and excellent - a testament to their long-standing working relationship with Troy, and his well -established positive and efficient approach to his work and clients.
Kathleen and Hannah are always available, helpful and professional. Working as a great team to get the best outcome. Always with a big smile and a positive attitude. No questions went unanswered, every message promptly replied to. Great communication about what was going on and guidance throughout the selling process. They are experts in the local market, they know what your property is worth and will continue to negotiate to get there. I am extremely happy I went with them and can’t fault their dedication and service.
Kathleen's confidence is reassuring, she presented everything clearly and honestly and knows her market very well. Kathleen kept us informed along the way and was happy to provide extra information when we felt we needed it. Her dedication and work ethic is extraordinary! We found Kathleen to be very professional with a supportive team that also provided excellent service. We would not hesitate to recommend Kathleen in selling your property.
I have used Ty and is team from Ray White East Lake Macquarie on 3 separate occasions. I consider myself fortunate that I have found people I trust and feel totally comfortable with. The calibre of their service should be held as a standard in the provision of real estate ethics. Their staff provided excellent assistance in both negotiation and communication of information The environment they create feels more like a family than a business. When you require support both professionally and personally, this team led by Ty, delivers. You couldn't ask for more.
