Every photo was taken in the home itself, in daylight. Where a vendor is open to offers we say so up front, and we can usually show you through on the same day.

Streets we know by heart

The walk to school, the traffic at five o’clock, the flood and bushfire maps. Knowing a suburb takes more than a listing. Tap a card and we’ll show you what’s for sale and rent there.

03What we do

Putting a home online is the easy part.

  1. 01

    Selling your home

    We set the price guide from recent comparable sales, then prepare the home with professional photography and a floor plan. Every conversation with buyers goes through us, right up to settlement.

    • Comparable sales
    • Floor plans
    • Auction or private sale

    Property management

    Income and reference checks on every applicant, the lease, the condition report, rent collection and the small repairs in between. It’s the service our owners living overseas rely on most.

    • Tenant screening
    • Monthly statements
    • Maintenance
  3. 03

    Appraisals and valuations

    We work with certified practising valuers on formal reports for deceased estates, family law or lending. If you’re only thinking about selling, the first appraisal is free.

05Our agents

The voice on the phone shows you the house.

Each of our agents lives in the area they cover. From the first call to settlement you deal with one person, never a call centre.

06From people who got the keys

For three years I couldn’t bring myself to sell Mum’s terrace in Glebe. Claire never once hurried me. We leased it out first, and when I was ready it sold in two months, very close to the price we’d hoped for.

We leased our place from London without ever seeing it in person. Video walk-through, the lease, even the power and internet were sorted before we landed.
Sam and Ellie D.Rented a 2-bedroom in Manly
We decided on our office move using the comparison Daniel put together for us. We ended up on a better floor in North Sydney than we’d imagined a year earlier.
