5 stars doesn’t seem enough for the effort, communication, efficiency and how reliable Nick was!

5 stars doesn’t seem enough for the effort, communication, efficiency and how reliable Nick was!

Nick was our agent when selling our house, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He was incredibly reliable, always following up on appointments, communicating clearly, and consistently being on time. His knowledge of the market and advice on presenting our home were invaluable. He went above and beyond by lending us a bed and other items from his office to help style the house for open homes, which made a real difference. One thing that really stood out was the time he took to thoroughly walk through our house and put together a checklist of simple, affordable improvements we could make to enhance its presentation. These were always suggestions rather than expectations—he never pressured us into doing anything and was always respectful of our ideas and opinions. He genuinely listened to us and valued our input throughout the entire process. Nick was trustworthy, honest, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome. His communication was outstanding, and we always felt informed and supported every step of the way. We honestly can’t thank Nick enough for all of his hard work, dedication, and professionalism. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

Nicholas went out of his way to facilitate my obtaining the property I wanted.

Nicholas went out of his way to facilitate my obtaining the property I wanted.

Nicholas was cheerful, obliging and knowledgeable about the housing market in general, and the property that I was interested in buying in particular. He gained my trust with his integrity, his willingness to provide information, to reach out to the sellers when my queries required further specific answers, and to follow up promptly with forms etc to progress the sale. He kept me informed daily and negotiated a quick sale that met both the sellers and my timeline.

Professional, Responsive and Genuine Team to Deal With

Professional, Responsive and Genuine Team to Deal With

Johnathan, Rob and Dominic were excellent to deal with overall. Communication was responsive, inspections were easy to arrange, and the whole team came across as genuine, fair, and honest throughout. A standout was the effort made to help get the sale across the line, including helping bridge a small gap between buyer and seller and organising asbestos testing with an extremely fast turnaround. The process felt straightforward and well managed from start to finish.

A smooth, well-managed sale with a strong result

A smooth, well-managed sale with a strong result

Nicholas was great to work with. He was organised, easy to communicate with, and always quick to reply to messages, calls and emails. He also had a good buyer network and was able to arrange mid-week inspections quickly, which helped the sale move fast. The property sold in around three weeks, the price was also strong compared with recent sales in the building. It achieved the recorded price in the building over the past 12 months. I’m glad I chose Nicholas and would happily recommend him. Nicholas 做事有条理,短信、电话和邮件都回复得很及时。他也有不错的买家资源,除了例行的周末开放,还能很快安排周中看房,这对交易快速推进帮助很大。 房子在三周左右顺利成交,这个价格相比近期的成交中也是令人满意的,成交价是过去 12 个月内本楼最高。很高兴当时选择了 Nicholas,推荐。

Incredibly professional, knowledgeable and efficient.

Nick was excellent throughout the whole process, he was very professional and knowledgeable. Nick took the time to answer any and all questions that my wife and I had whilst guiding us through the sale process seamlessly. Nick obtained a great result for us and managed to sell our property off market which greatly reduced any sale anxiety we had. Would highly recommend Nick and the team at Independent South.

Exceptional service

I primarily worked with Robert Burns to buy my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were patient, honest, and always available to answer my questions Thanks to their support, I was able to secure the property. I highly recommend Robert Burns to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate agent.
