Kindness from clients

  • Louise Petrie

    “We wanted someone who knew the area well and had a good reputation. We asked around and your names kept coming up. You love the area and you know the area well. We rate our experience with you 10/10 – not even comparable to any property we’ve previously sold. You’re both a really good combination; you know the market really well and you nailed the marketing. So professional; from the social media to the print material”

  • Gregg Carrington-Hogg

    “Raewyn and Karlene recently sold my lifestyle property which was proving to be very difficult to sell. Their attention to detail and commitment to get the job done was outstanding. They present honesty and have integrity which a lot of people lack today. I will gladly use their services again in the future.”

  • Guy and Bridget

    “We recently had the pleasure of selling a property through Raewyn and Karlene; we would have no hesitation at all to recommend them for any potential real estate transaction. We found them to be extremely professional in all aspects of the transaction and frankly a pleasure to deal with. We will be calling on their services in future and wish them all the best in their business as they deserve all the praise available.”

  • David Scott

    “Raewyn and Karlene were a pleasure to deal with; we purchased a lifestyle property through them. Nothing was too much trouble and they worked very hard to keep the offer on the table alive as it was right on Christmas which was trying for both parties. Thank you for all your hard work and keeping us informed every step of the way, you were both professional and very approachable, giving us your attention and expertise every step of the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.”

  • Fred Green

    “They say that selling your house is one of the most stressful events in life. And it can be – we’ve don’t it before. But working with Raewyn and Karlene has proved it certainly doesn’t have to be. We can honestly say that working with Raewyn and Karlene has made what can be a stressful event the best experience it could be. Their sincere, honest and warm approach paired with great advice, has been invaluable. They provided support, honest and invaluable advice at critical times which we know resulted in the best result we could hope for. Their thoughtfulness and sincerity throughout the process has been heart-warming and reassuring. They offered support and service second to none. We would highly recommend Raewyn and Karlene if you are looking at selling your property (in fact, we already have).”
