Testimonials
Selling a home is one of the most stressful things a family can go through, but working with Maria made the entire experience outstanding from start to finish. We listed our property on 21 January, and by 23 February, the house was sold. Even more impressive, we achieved a sale price higher than Maria's original valuation, which was already substantially higher than the valuations provided by other agents we spoke to. What truly stood out was the effort Maria put in before we even signed with her. She visited the property, walked through every room and provided practical, honest advice on what to improve, what to leave alone and how best to present the home. She suggested rearranging furniture, adding small accessories and recommended colours and presentation changes that made a real difference. That level of commitment before being appointed as the agent spoke volumes about her professionalism. Once the campaign started, Maria worked tirelessly to get the deal over the line. She was always enthusiastic, positive and available. Communication was excellent, and we received immediate feedback after viewings, whether good or bad. When feedback was not ideal, she still encouraged us and reassured us that the right buyer would come along. Maria consistently went above and beyond. We never felt like just another listing. Instead, we felt like we were her only client and that she was genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for us. If we had to do it again, the only thing we would change is not wasting time speaking to other agents. We would go straight to Maria. - Jorge and Nandi Alboquerque
My husband and myself were very fortunate to attend Maria's open home for 58 Colombo Rd, we had been looking at properties in the area all day and just happened across the sign for this property, Maria, was welcoming, engaging and extremely helpful with all the information for the property, she encouraged us to put forward an offer even though we had a long settlement on our own property and did everything possible to help us secure the property which we very fortunately did. Maria, is the ultimate professional we could not have asked for anything more in the service that was offered to us. Thank you Maria for helping us secure our forever home. Kindest Regards Heather & John - Heather and John Robertson
