Throughout the sale process, Kathy did a tremendous job organizing the sale, inspections and communicating with interested buyers. Given the property downturn that we are in, our expectations for our selling price were not high but Kathy sold our property for a price well above our expectations! Throughout the process she was kind, professional and extremely responsive, going above and beyond to answer our queries and ensure the job got done. It was a pleasure to work with Kathy, Jon and the team at HIVE and I want to thank them all for a seamless process!

When we started the process of finding an agent we wanted someone who we felt we connected with, and who could give us guidance about what to expect through the process. We felt that we got that with Kathy. She understood what we saw as the positives of the house, but she also understood the market and what we needed to do to broaden the appeal to a range of buyers. When Kathy advised we should do things we simply followed her advice and did them and I believe they paid off. We sold in a lower market than it had been 6 months or a year before so we needed someone who could help us adjust our expectations while also conveying that she really would work to get us the right price. We adjusted the approach along the way, opting to cancel a planned auction to negotiate directly with the most interested buyer. Again, we needed the reassurance of someone who knew the market and the process to feel comfortable it was the right approach. Ultimately we sold for what we believe is the best the market would offer and we sold more quickly than other houses in our suburb have done recently.

I could not have chosen two more wonderful people to guide me through this difficult time in my life while selling my home. Yes they had good contacts who ensured the house was prepared and presented in such high class conditions that it sold in record time despite supposedly worsening sale times. Not only did it sell quickly but thanks to their work it fetched a very pleasing price again during a time when they reportedly were dropping. At all times both Kathy and Jon presented themselves very professionally. They were always available to answer questions and reassure me. Thanks Kathy and Jon.

**A record result and a genuine pleasure to work with** We engaged Ahmad Souweid of Blackshaw Manuka to sell a 1950s block of units in Red Hill — a distinctive property that needed an agent who could find the right buyer rather than simply the nearest one. Ahmad did exactly that, achieving a record price for a block of this kind in Red Hill. What set him apart was his judgement. Ahmad is calm, level-headed and genuinely insightful about the market. He knew precisely who the buyers for this asset were, how to reach them and what would motivate them — and his read on conditions was consistently on the money. He also worked tirelessly. A multi-unit block on a single title, sold subject to tenancy, is not a run-of-the-mill campaign, and Ahmad gave it the energy and attention it deserved from listing right through to exchange. Where he added the most value was during contract negotiations. His advice was practical, well-informed and refreshingly honest — including when it wasn't what we wanted to hear. He kept things moving smoothly through settlement and stayed engaged and responsive right to the finish line, rather than disappearing once the contract was signed. With two vendor entities involved, he managed communication between everyone seamlessly — and he coordinated inspections across multiple tenanted units with real care, working around residents' schedules so the property always presented at its best while keeping the tenants comfortable and well informed throughout. I would recommend Ahmad Souweid wholeheartedly to anyone selling in the inner south, and especially to anyone with a property that doesn't fit the standard residential mould. A first-class result and a first-class experience.

Working with this Ahmad and the Blackshaw team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They made what can often be a stressful and overwhelming process feel surprisingly calm and manageable. Their communication was clear, friendly, and always proactive. We never had to chase updates or wonder what was happening behind the scenes, they kept us informed at every turn and made sure we felt supported and confident throughout the journey. Ahmad was able to provide us incredible advice and continuously be in our corner while buying our new property and when the time came was able to get our property on the market in a very short turn around and then get a pre-auction offer within 7 days. What really made the difference was how genuinely invested the team were in helping us achieve the best possible result. They listened carefully to what mattered to us, took the time to understand our priorities, and worked with us closely to make sure every decision aligned with our goals. They were patient when we needed reassurance, decisive when action was required, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure things ran smoothly. The outcome Ahmad achieved was fantastic, better than we had hope, and it was clear that their hard work, experience, and thoughtful guidance were key to making it happen. Beyond the result, though, we truly appreciated the human side of the experience: the kindness, the honesty, and the sense that we had someone genuinely in our corner. This was a 5‑star experience in every sense, and we would recommend them without hesitation.

Ahmad was honest throughout my entire purchase process and kept me well informed before the auction. I found him calm, genuine, smiling and always willing to do his best to help and address any issues. I also enjoyed getting to know him as the sellers’ agent.
