Highly Professional and a Great Communicator

Highly Professional and a Great Communicator

Nick validated my decision to hire him from the very first appointment. He was meticulous about every detail of my home to ensure it was in a strong position to be sold. He talks you through the process very clearly and is very upfront and honest in his expectations for the sale. He is very eager to help you achieve the optimum outcome for your specific situation. I was never left wondering throughout the sale process - as soon as there was any meaningful update, Nick was on the phone talking me through it. Real Estate agents can sometimes get a bad reputation, but Nick is definitely one of the good ones. I thoroughly recommend hiring him if you are looking to sell.

Nick is a hardworking agent who delivers expertise, efficiency, and genuine care for his clients

We approached Nick as interstate sellers looking for an agent we could trust. From day one, Nick was an excellent communicator and displayed a clear understanding of the market and the preparations needed to go to market. Nick was efficient and effective, with all matters being handled with a turnaround time that we were very happy with. And his approach showed careful deliberation and care. Nick showed not only that he was an expert in his field but also an empathetic and caring agent who showed a genuine want to understand the needs of his clients. We are very happy with Nick as an agent and would recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, skilled, efficient and empathetic.

Excellent communication and fast response to our property query

Excellent communication and fast response to our property query

We contacted the agency about available residential property in Woden area. The agent we spoke with, Robert Burns, suggested we view a particular property and arranged a private viewing of the property in a short time. The property was a particularly good one which fulfilled most of the requirements we were looking for. Robert was most helpful in negotiating with the property owners to obtain a reasonably quick settlement. He has has also been most patient in helping us manage some of the steps in property purchase and has been easy to contact whenever we had any query relating to the property or the area of the home. We would certainly recommend the agency to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Woden area.

A man of utter integrity, who combines personal warmth with professional skill

A man of utter integrity, who combines personal warmth with professional skill

We have experienced working with Nicholas Jacob on two occasions, once as a buyer, ten years ago, and, this year, as a seller. He is a remarkable blend of personal warmth, openness, honesty and transparency, who is also a very knowledgeable and skillful agent with a deep understanding of the market - and of human nature! His communication skills are exceptional: he kept us fully informed at every point in our transactions with him and, while he was acting on our behalf as sellers, he also gained the trust and respect of the buyer of our property. "Trust and respect" capture our own feelings about Nicholas. We have always had the upmost confidence in him to represent our interests, and to do so with complete integrity. We would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone wishing to buy or sell a property in Canberra.
