However, actually placing a price on a property clearly requires some…Read More→

Lee made the selling of a deceased loved one's unit a smooth process at a difficult time. He ensured continued exposure of the property in the market and guided me through the requirements and decisions needing to be dealt with. I found Lee to be very capable, friendly and reliable and would highly recommend him to other sellers.

I highly recommend Lee and his Team to anyone wanting to sell. There were numerous issues along the way of our sale, which delayed the final settlement by months (none at the fault of our agents). Lee talked everyone through all the issues and ensured that everything was resolved with minimal fuss. He saved the day (and the sale) on numerous occasions and kept things on track when we had all but given up. Many thanks

Lee was amazing throughout the whole sale process. We'd actually met Lee years earlier when we were thinking of selling and he gave us his books. We kept them and read through when we were ready to sell and called him again. We followed his advice to get our home sale ready and we had record numbers through on our first open home. We got numerous offers well above our asking price and received $50k over the asking price! Lee and Justin are a fabulous team, so professional and really know the real estate market. We're glad we chose them as our agents and would highly recommend them.

Lee and his team have just sold our property in Bli Bli for well above the listed price. His professionalism and attention to detail when listing our property resulted in multiple offers at the first open home that exceeded all our expectations.

Lee and Justin are the best agents we have ever dealt with. They are kind, courteous, knowledgeable, proactive and honest. They are the very best in their field and always have their client's well being in all their negotiations. If they say to do something...just do it! you will be amazed at the result. Lee was able to return an extra $30k above listed price by utilising his immense knowledge of the Real Estate industry. You cannot go wrong.

Just bought a house in Buderim. Lee and Justin were the agents for the seller - they were a pleasure to deal with: friendly, thoroughly professional, and always ready to respond to our call or email. Thanks guys! We’re planning to stay here for quite a while - but if we were to sell up, without any hesitation this team would be our first call.
