I’d like to congratulate Alex and his team for their relentless work

I’d like to congratulate Alex and his team for their relentless work in achieving a great price for a property I hold dear (family home). Alex and his team worked day in and day out for months in a difficult market to secure a buyer and to keep me up to date with every open result no matter how innocuous. I have bought and sold quite a few properties in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and can recommend Alex as you’re go to agent. Read More

I cannot praise his work ethic or personal attributes enough

Alex does not fit the " traditional" mold of an agent. He is a genuine, hard-working and kind person. After successfully selling my home, I engaged Alex to sell another property and he did not disappoint. He researched thoroughly, worked tirelessly to bring it to the market and attracted a wide range of purchasers. He communicated with me regularly and gave sound advice. He engaged in the sale and achieved another excellent result. I cannot praise his work ethic or personal attributes enough. Read More

Managed the transaction in a professional way

We recently started our search for a new home and contacted Alex with a brief in case anything came up off-market that he could show us through. We felt that Alex took care in understanding what we were in the market for, and contacted us with properties that specifically met our requirements. The second property Alex showed us through we exchanged on. He managed the transaction in a professional way, negotiated with both parties and delivered a fantastic offer-market transaction for everyone. Read More

I was impressed with Alex’s ability to quickly and correctly assess the right kind of buyer for our house

I recently got in touch with Alex to help sell my property off-market. He had someone in mind and within 3 days we had sold. I was impressed with Alex’s ability to quickly and correctly assess the right kind of buyer for our house. Other agents had previously brought buyers through, but it was like Goldilocks, ‘too much to do’, ‘too small’ etc.

Alex sold my property within the guide he had previously outlined. He demonstrated both an excellent work ethic and superior negotiations skills to get the deal over the line. That said, he never pushed or made me feel that I needed to take the offer. I highly recommend Alex as being competent and professional, with a good understanding of the market and the ability to get a deal done. Read More

Alex was on it 110% from the beginning

We had the pleasure of working with Alex to sell our Bondi apartment. Alex was on it 110% from the beginning. Some highlights for us:

- He single handedly opened our home about 10+ in the first two weeks (responding to requests for private showings), meaning that our buyer pool was huge from the beginning

- He worked late into the night securing the best offer from the competing buyers

- His communications throughout were excellent, we got blow by blow updates and always felt in the loop

I was completely stressed out until Alex took over our campaign. As soon as he was on board I knew we were in great hands, and that was shown in the result.

Before we signed with Alex - I had two hesitations…

1. Other agents that told us they were ‘the specialist in the area’ - don’t base your decision on that…. you want to employ the hardest working, most driven agent and that without a doubt is Alex!

2. Other agents who say they have more years of experience - again absolutely nonsense! Alex conducts himself and negotiates with someone who has been in the business forever.

I needn’t have worried about either. Do yourself a favour and sign today! Thanks again Alex! Read More

An absolute pleasure

“We have experienced just about the full range of Alex’s services: we bought from him as buyers and sold with him as vendors. Working with Alex each time has been an absolute pleasure. As buyers we found him fair, honest and transparent, and as vendors we saw this same integrity carried through to him managing our campaign. While kind, approachable and trustworthy, Alex has a formidable work ethic, which saw him conducting Sunday opens for us as vendors, even during a public holiday long weekend. Behind the scenes, he rolls his sleeves up and gets to work, talking with buyers one-on-one and chasing up every lead himself, without delegating to others. Alex being on the ground in this way makes him an excellent negotiator, having interacted with interested parties from start to end. There is no doubt it was by Alex working at all hours that our campaign achieved a completely unexpected price – as we exchanged just before midnight! He has truly gone above and beyond for us as clients (even acting as a buyer’s agent for us to acquire a new property, might we add), and is backed by a brilliant, dedicated team. We’d love to thank Alex, Thomas and Alex’s right-hand woman, Sarah Ball, who is an excellent marketer and operator, for their commitment to selling our cherished home. We have no hesitation recommending Alex and his team, and buying and/or selling with him again!” Read More

If Alex can’t sell your home, no other agent can!

Concise sales strategy and clear communication resulted in better than expected sale price

From the moment Alex was engaged he quickly got to work introducing potential buyers for our property prior to the marketed campaign.

Alex executed on the agreed strategy and kept us informed of the state of play throughout the campaign.

Alex successfully filtered out the unseasoned buyers and distilled a small group of hot buyers. When things heated up during the campaign he recommended the appropriate time to engage with hot buyers and we sold prior to auction at the upper-end of our expected range for the property. Read More
