Testimonials

Julia and Andrew

"After unsuccessfully trying to sell our home last year, we re-evaluated our options and decided that David & Jennifer were the right fit for both us and our home. They offered sound advice around presentation, marketing and legal issues that we had encountered. Communication occurred on a very regular basis and we felt that we knew what was happening at every step of the way. This was highly valued by us as we needed to truly believe that they had the time to look after us and our biggest asset- our home. David & Jennifer definitely had our interests at heart and guided us through what was a fairly stressful process. We are ecstatic with the result and look forward to catching up for a celebration in the near future! We could not recommend this team more highly and wish them all the best. Thanks again. Julia & Andrew, Pt Chevalier"
"I have known David and Jennifer for many years as they have now successfully sold two houses for me. I went back to them a second time as I knew that they would find the right buyers for my property, buyers who could pay my asking price. They did this by considering my ideas and conversations about the house and offering sound advice for its marketing. I felt they were really committed and were available to me throughout the process whenever I had a question or concern keeping me in the loop and reducing the stress of a sale. Jane Mason, 46 Smale St Our first meeting with David was over a decade ago when we were searching for our current home. Whilst we purchased through another agent at the time we always appreciated David’s upfront and honest attitude along with his constant enthusiasm. Over the years he has always been approachable and happy to provide constant updates on the market and our property. When the decision came to sell we included him and the team at UP in the initial discussions. We were again impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism provided and even without our past experiences would have chosen UP on their merits. In due course, we signed up and set timeframes for marketing along with a comprehensive yet sensible advertising package. This was done 6 weeks prior to the campaign being launched. We were provided with script, had photography organised and were also given recommendations in terms of home staging and other presentation tips. We had three weekends of open homes on the Saturday and Sunday with an auction mid-week afterwards. UP were very considerate of our young pre-school children and managed other viewings with constant communication and co-ordination of multiple buyers attending at the same time. Constant feedback was provided throughout our marketing campaign and we were ecstatic with our sales result, we can now move with ease to our new home. We would not hesitate to recommend David and the team at UP to any prospective sellers. Thanks again. Brent an"
