Testimonial from David Wood
Great experience from start to finish

Andrew was fantastic to deal with!From his very detailed, insightful and house specific appraisal we knew Andrew was the man for the job.

His knowledge of the local market was evident and we feel like he didn't try and over sell what our house was valued at instead he managed expectations from the start and suggested some minor house upgrades be done in order to maximise the sale which more than paid off. Communication from Andrew was always very clear and prompt. We would receive a call after each open home and get a pulse check from him. Overall Andrew was a very professional agent and we wouldn't hesitate to use him again and recommend him to others. Read More

Simply the Best!

We bought our property through Sam Lindsay and we sold our property through Sam Lindsay. His knowledge, approach and integrity is exactly what we look for in an agent. He and his team deserve all the success they have achieved. You need to trust your agent and you need to know that your agent is working for you as well as the buyer to ensure they are both satisfied with the result. There is no pressure in his sales technique but at the same time he is diligent and always working towards the result. The whole process from listing to exchange was about 7 or 8 weeks. On an 11 acre country property 20 minutes out of Bowral is an exceptionally quick campaign. Read More

Testimonial from John
Professionalism and Competence

The real estate industry is competitive, compounded by the current Sydney accelerated increase in the property market. In assessing a competent agent is no simple task, regardless of the location, especially in the Southern Highlands prior to the increased interest in cashed up Sydney buyers. One criterion in engaging a professional agent is the indispensable requirement that the agent's client is not the purchaser, but the vendor. As a former real estate agent I can convey that this prime ethical and mercantile practice is often bypassed by those merely seeking commission rather than serving their client's financial interests. The professionalism of Sam eschewed any attempt to wander down this slippery path of convenience. The price he carefully estimated for the property was the price attained. Judging by the types of properties that are listed and sold by this Real Estate firm it is obvious that discerning vendors recognise excellence and expertise in the complex real estate field. Likewise, potential purchasers, knowing the Southern Highlands real estate market, seek the firm's expertise. Another important aspect of the firm's standards is the attention to vendor's reporting. The property sold was an historic residence overlooking the township of Bowral, with unsurpassed views and grand entrance gates matching the grandeur of the property. The initial open house strategy, proved to be attracting buyers without the knowledge of the type of house, designed by an epochal Australian architect, and Sam's acute awareness of vendors' input, changed the sales direction to the appropriate market where excellence in housing is understood and appreciated. The ability to change marketing direction midway in a sales strategy proved successful and an astute purchaser was found who acknowledged quality. It is this awareness of each property's unique appeal exemplified in the comprehensive services of Sam and his team that deserves recognition for excellence. Read More
