Testimonials
We were very pleased we hired Lea Jurkovich to market our holiday home in a beachside community. No sooner had she taken over from the previous agent than she very quickly organized an open home which resulted in a sale inside of two weeks. We were very impressed with Lea's enthusiasm and professionalism and would recommend her to any other vendor. Brian Holland & Shelley Dromgool-
On both occasions, she went the extra mile for us. Lea was approachable, caring and friendly and at all times professional.Lea acted as our real estate agent recently when she sold a property on our behalf and then when we purchased another. After we bought again, she has kept in touch to see how things are going and has taken the trouble to introduce us to people in the community. We have no hesitation in recommending Lea and would readily use her again. Paul and Chrissie Revell-
I had been trying to sell my property for 3 years, during that time I had used 3 different agents and the house remained unsold. I felt very disillusioned. Not one agent had anything original to offer me apart from increasing the advertising budget and reducing my price. Lea came to see me and announced confidently that she knew how to sell my property. I had no faith in her ability at this stage but thought I had nothing to lose by giving her ago. From the day she got involved things happened very quickly. Lea gave me a professional assessment of how she could market my property and the type of potential buyers she thought I would sell to. I loved her enthusiasm, dynamic personality and unending belief in my property, not at any cost but at a realistic and fair market value. My property sold 4 weeks later, this sale was totally down to Lea going the extra mile to make it happen, never once giving up. I think Lea is the best agent around. Mark Cederman-
“I was recently approached by Lea Jurkovich who had heard I was looking for an investment property for my son currently offshore. Lea had the ability to hone in on my needs, think it through thoroughly and come up with a clear picture of where I should be looking. It was so refreshing after the number of enquiries I had made to agents who aren’t really listening, assume they know what would suit me after a few words on the phone and without any prior knowledge of me. Along comes Lea, keen to meet face to face, eager to listen and tirelessly ready to put in the leg work to make things happen. As it turned out she sensed the second property we viewed together would be the answer and it was, it was exactly what we needed and the time and patience she invested resulted in a great sale and smiles all around on both sides.” I can highly recommend Lea and wish her every success in the future.
