Pierre was real easy to work with. His easy nature coupled with his extensive experience made this purchase the easiest yet.
While the market was difficult George was not: always positive and full of ideas resulting in the required property sale. Above anything else, George is super responsive. Calls are quickly answered or responded to when he can't answer immediately, with agreed actions followed through in timely fashion.
Frequent updates including after every inspection, good strategy to combat lack of initial interest, friendly and easy to deal with.
Looking for a real estate agent to represent for the sale of our house came down to 2 very important reasons among other things was to why we picked Darren Lambert from Ray White- Caroline Springs to represent us: 1) Experience- over 15 years industry experience is very impressive which also means he knows what he is doing and has the passion and dedication for it! His passionate and dedication is second to none by opening inspections on weekends as well both Saturday and Sunday along with weekdays. 2) First impression- Darren was very well presented (dress professionally) and what he presented the package of what he can offer was clear and precise. I would recommend Darren and his team 100% and they will surely be my go to real estate agent in the future if we require their services. Well done guys!
We couldn’t have been happier with our experience dealing with Michael when purchasing our home in Rye. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, approachable and genuinely lovely to deal with. Michael has such a down-to-earth nature and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. He was always happy to answer our questions, kept us well informed throughout the purchase, and went above and beyond by allowing us access to the property on multiple occasions before settlement so we could organise measurements, quotes and start planning everything we wanted to do. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we really appreciated how supportive and accommodating he was throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be stressful, but Michael made it such a positive experience for us. We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Michael to anyone buying or selling. He is professional, genuine, honest and just a really nice person to deal with. Thank you again, Michael, we are so excited about our new place in Rye and really appreciate everything you did for us!
