Veronika Turnbull |
Veronika is a highly motivated and energetic agent with extensive knowledge of the real estate market in the Paddington area.

Veronika Turnbull |
Veronika has been marvelous in helping me to find the perfect apartment in the perfect building for me. She made herself available to me and was honest and straightforward in her approach. Charming and fair, I would not hesitate to recommend Veronika for both her skill and her knowledge of both the building in which I purchased, and also the local area

Erica Elzein |
If you have a property and are looking to rent it out, I'd recommend reaching out to Erica Elzein and the R&W team more broadly. I'm a tenant, but I work extensively in this space. The R&W team know the market, and will secure the rental value (and tenant) that is most in your interest.
Very professional, very flexible, responsive, and direct communication style. Highly recommended.

The team are very responsive to calls, emails and texts and are very quick to organise everything that is needed to be ready for sale in a short period. Veronika has made the experience of selling our home a wonderful one and for that, we thank her!

Veronika Turnbull |
I just sold my second property with Veronika and have received nothing but exemplary service on both occasions. She is honest, to the point, a great communicator, works with the utmost integrity and when the pressure is on she drives the best deal possible for her vendor. She works above and beyond expectations. She is ballsy and confident and has over-delivered on both occasions. I trust her implicitly, value her guidance, and love working with her because she is a rare agent who I don't feel ever bullshits me. She eases the stress of real estate transacting. Highly recommended. I'd give her 7-stars if there was that option.

He and Jack Greentree were both courteous, reliable and hardworking and really wanted to get a good sale for me.
I’m very grateful to them both and will have no hesitation recommending James and agreeing with others that he was the perfect agent. I would be happy to be contacted at any time by others who are considering working with him.
Thanks very much James and Jack. I appreciate the time and effort you put in on my behalf.

I work with a lot of agents in different regions of Sydney - everyone with a different level of attention and approach to their sales.
Veronika and the team were professional throughout the whole buying process making this transaction not only as stress free as possible but fair, seamless, and actioned in a timely manner with all of my queries responded to swiftly and accurately (as well as after hours).
My client is very happy with the outcome and this is greatly due to the way the exchange was handled by Veronika and the team at Richardson & Wrench.

Jonathan Carr |
Particularly, I mostly deal with Ali, Irina and Jonathan - in recent times in that order due to the fact that I've been dealt a blow with tenants leaving due to COVID 19 and damage to my house from works next door - thankfully house now restored.
I was ringing in to speak with Jonathan to thank him personally but he is on Annual leave so I thought to put this in writing.
I wish you to know that Ali on Reception and Irina in Accounts have also been little nuggets of gold to me regarding their special care and service and personal touch.
I really appreciate their expertise and care and the manner in which they have dealt with me during a really challenging year for all.
I wish them and all at Richardson Wrench Double Bay a very safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish the very best for all for 2021, and when I am counting my blessings which is the best way to live, I do include "my team" at RW.

I can only recommend James in the highest regard during the campaign of selling my home.
He was extremely helpful and unlike a couple of agents whom I have dealt with in the past never pressured me in any way. He is extremely professional but at the same time has very personable personality and easy to talk to. James listened to what my thoughts were during the campaign and took them on board so we could work together to achieve the best results for me. It was a great selling experience with James and I will definitely be engaging James if I am to sell again in the future.
Once again I give my highest recommendation to James as a selling agent.

I recommend Tim in the highest regard. During the campaign of selling my home he was always very professional as well as pleasant in his approach. He was extremely professional and helpful when arriving at my home for open home inspections. It was a great selling experience having Tim arrive each Wednesday and Saturday with a smile on his face. Made me feel very comfortable plus confident.
Thank you Tim.

The marketing process was strong and powerful, the openings successful and within a very short time, less than 2 weeks, our happy tenant committed to commence the lease soon after.
Since then the team has ensured the communication keeps flowing and the tenants bedding in process is smooth.
We are so pleased we chose this team to lease our home and recommend & commend R&W.

Michael was the perfect balance between responsive but not too pushy. We were looking at this home for a few months and he was very patient as we were selling a place prior. Luckily it was still available after our sale and he made the process of buying seamless.

Veronika's knowledge of the Darling Point market (and the real estate market more globally) was instrumental in guiding us to a successful sale despite a very negative context. She has been with us every step of the way. I would work with Veronika again without any hesitation.

We have been very impressed with the professionalism of Veronika and Marion and highly recommend them.
Their knowledge of the local area and communication skills were impeccable. We were kept informed verbally and in writing with detailed reports, constant updates and no stone was left unturned.
They were really sensitive to our needs during this covid environment and looked after our home and went out of their way to keep us and others safe.
They worked so hard on many levels to achieve our result.
The campaign was spot on and the advertising was laser focused, the results were very pleasing and they achieved the best result for us.
We were more than happy with the relationship we formed with these truly professional and delightful women who delivered everything they promised, we would highly recommended them to anyone embarking on this stressful journey.
A big thank you ladies for all your hard work.
We can't complain about the marketing campaign at all - photos looked fantastic, coverage great, lots of buyers through the doors (not so easy these days), good follow up and vendor hand-holding. Auctioneer was great- had nice patter with humour put everyone at ease which isn't easy as buying or selling a house is one of the most stressful things in life I think. You always want a little more but I think it is a good price in all the circumstances - if you have 2 keen purchasers with capacity competing hard, which we did, then where it stops is the market value. Congratulations to you both.

Veronika Turnbull |
The last apartment she has sold turned out a rather difficult task, as the size of the studio was below 37sqm. Unfortunately the banks have a lot of restrictions on lending with apartments who are located within big blocks and are below 40sqm. Veronika has managed to sell my apartment well, despite all the issues with the bank and while Covid was active in NSW.
She is wonderful to work with, with regular updates straight after each opening. I can only recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent who has amazing negotiation skills and the patience to walk the extra mile if needed.

I would like to enthusiastically express my absolute gratitude, satisfaction and appreciation in regards to our recent working agreement to contract with you to serve as my real estate agent, to cell my property in Bondi Beach, NSW.
Without reservation, I was overwhelmed by your Professionalism as it replanted to:
• Communication: Virtually every step along the way, you continually reached out to me, via phone and email to inform me as to everything in regards to daily scheduling of showing my property; regular updates, of interested persons as to interest in my property; ongoing questions and further updates; details of the actual action, including the names and degree to interest of each person attending the auction; immediate results of the auction, including the step by step details of the 100+ bids on the property.
• Availability: In the midst of your very busy schedule, I was amazed that you virtually made yourself available to personally talk to me by phone each and every time I wanted/needed to personally chat with you.
• Productivity: I was incredibly impressed with your resourcefulness in terms of generating interest throughout NSW and motivating numerous persons to come out to your showings to personally view my property.
• Final Result: As a result of your leadership, my property sold for 2 and ½ times the amount I paid for the property 10+ years ago. This was about $500,000.00 more than my stated selling preference.
It is quite difficult to try to put into words the degree of elation experienced by me because of your diligent work, resolve and results.

We have dealt with Michael and his team at Richardson and Wrench, Double Bay now 3 times over 22 years. His experience and thorough knowledge of the Eastern Suburbs market, have led to sound and realistic advice and we have achieved good results.
In addition we have appreciated the courtesy always shown and the information provided during the sales process.
When asked, I have no hesitation in recommending him as reliable, skilled and trustworthy.

Marion Badenoch |
I had been approached by many agencies who wished to market my home however I had previously seen Phoebe’s management of a sales campaign in my area and she had been not only tenacious but highly successful in a protracted sale.
These professional young women have been outstanding in all areas of our relationship. They were extremely thorough in their estimation of my home’s value and in all aspects of presentation and marketing. Their informal and written communications have been prompt, regular and insightful - second to none.
Due to very fluid economic conditions with Covid, we had a five week campaign with constant “on demand” viewings but during this Phoebe and Marion were so respectful of my family’s needs; no request was ever too much, no surface was left without Glen 20, no potential purchaser left without a follow-up call. With their support and professionalism there was never a time when I felt stressed and was extremely pleased that they were able to achieve a result well above my expectation.
Having now sold three properties in two years using three different agencies, I can confidently say that my experience with Richardson and Wrench has been exceptional and I would recommend Marion and Phoebe without reservation. No other agent offered anything remotely near their efforts. If one values knowledge, attention to detail, transparency and communication, these delightful young women are the ultimate.

Jack was amazing! He really went above and beyond with the sale of our property, ensuring the property was neatly presented (we were interstate at the time) and providing us with constant, clear communication and updates throughout the sale process.
We achieved a great result, and Jack was key in driving this. He is professional and polished, without being pushy and brash, and has excellent local market knowledge.
Highly recommend Jack.

Tim was recommended to me. Couldn’t have been happier.
Tim project managed everything as I live two hours away from the sale property and we had the pandemic thrust upon us. He assured me he would handle things I wasn’t able to get too; made excellent suggestions and ensured everything was carried out to the last detail. My phone calls and emails were answered promptly and a report given every evening after clients were shown through the unit.
Would I recommend Tim...absolutely! Peace of mind during a stressful period with a wonderful outcome.

Veronika Turnbull |
Veronika acted on a recent sale for me - right in the middle of a pandemic and a lockdown. Operating within a completely new paradigm, Veronika responded quickly and proactively to the new environment. She followed up every lead and worked tirelessly to achieve a successful outcome in very difficult circumstances.
Always the professional, Veronika is dependable, honest and ethical. She won't oversell a position just to gain the listing. She will tell you genuinely what she thinks is achievable and then, as in my case, exceed the expectation.
I would, without hesitation, recommend Veronika as a trusted agent and adviser on any sale.

Marion Badenoch |
They are honest, trustworthy and utterly professional. Most importantly they deliver results. Working in the midst of a pandemic, they were able to successfully adapt to, and embrace, a rapidly changing sales environment to achieve the best outcome for us. They always followed up on all property enquiries and provided constant feedback to us.
In a competitive real estate market, we would highly recommend Veronika & Marion as trusted agents and people who deliver results.

Excellent experience - both as a buyer and vendor. As a potential buyer, Jack went over and above (including teaming up with other agencies) to find properties that I was interested in and that matched my requirements.

Jack and everyone at R&W are a pleasure to work with.

Phoebe Nothling |
Phoebe was a clear and consistent agent who constantly and reliably updated us once we expressed interest in a property. From the first inspection through to the auction she was open and shared information and assisted us in the process of buying the home we are thrilled to move into. We’d previously had terrible experiences with real estate agents and Phoebe was a refreshing trustworthy person to come across in this industry. She gave a very accurate indication of price expectations which helped us manage our planning and assessment of whether this house was an option for us.

Robynne Arnouts |
Robynne guided me though the process with calmness , compassion and empathy.
She kept me informed every step of the way and was always on hand to take my calls and answer the myriad of questions I had at all times of the day.
Her market knowledge is second to none and you know you will always get a truthful and intelligent response
She was quickly able to deal with any hurdles prospective buyers put in front of her and was able to provide effective solutions to anything they queried.
She has huge integrity and you can feel safe and secure in that she always has your best interests at heart.
I could not recommend her more.

James guided me all the way through the process and I felt he always had my best interests at heart. He is one of the first agents I have ever met who has the highest levels of integrity and someone you can trust. I could not recommend James and his team more highly. From communication to hard working, he ticks all the boxes.
James is one of the best agents out there and he is a great asset to have on your side in real estate.

Tim Muckenschnabl |
Tim has a calm knowledgeable approach to an impending marketing project. He was well informed but never negative offering a lateral view of options. Tim demonstrated a thorough understanding of the features of my property whilst identify potential buyers who would also appreciate those features.
Tim's energy and dedication to maintaining open communication, feedback and helpfulness, preparation and punctuality was reassuring for the sale journey.

Tim Muckenschnabl |
Before purchasing my home unit I read Andrew Trim’s book Real Estate Dangers and How to Avoid Them. It was my great relief that the agent handling the sale was the very decent and professional Tim Muckenschnabl.
Tim worked very hard for his client, determined to get for her the very best sale. But by the same token when he realised that I was serious about purchasing the unit he seemed keen for me to make the purchase in spite of the fact there were others interested and that the unit was to go to auction in a few days. Trim’s book had told me to make the offer that I thought was fair and not to offer a ridiculously low figure. I did that and Tim squeezed a bit more out of me, which I would rather he hadn’t as that now prevents me from fixing up the bathroom. But it worked. I got the unit, his client got the sale and Tim got the commission.
A satisfactory result all round. So.... if I had to sell my unit in the future would I ask Tim to handle the sale? Absolutely!

James Dunn |
I found James to be highly professional in all his dealings with myself and potential buyers. He is a most personable young man whose substantive knowledge of the industry and the prevailing market provided me with a secure and sure campaign with a fantastic result at auction. The marketing of the property and team effort led by James was A1.
I could not recommend him more highly.

Michael Dunn |
The manner in which you organised to present the property and the actual presentation could not have been any better. Your recommendations as to renovations and repairs required in advance to maximise the potential of the property all proved to be the best advice possible and really demonstrated the depth of your understanding of the area and the nature of our potential buyers. I was astonished at how well you had the property prepared and presented.
That aspect was very important but not nearly as significant as your efforts and professionalism in marketing the property and matching the right style of buyers with the property. You are so well in touch with potential buyers and with property movements in the area it all looked easy but I know how hard you worked to make that happen which ensured the success of the campaign.
I am extremely grateful to you both and the team at R&W. The level of communication, attention to detail, empathy to maximise interest in the property and management of the sales process is first rate and you should all be very proud being involved in the business. This was my first opportunity to work with you & R&W and without hesitation I will recommend you to others dealing in property. By a very long way you surpassed my expectations.

Andrew Birbeck |
Andrew is an excellent real estate agent who is not afraid to work hard to please both the vendor and buyer (includes working outside of normal hours!). He represented the vendor for a property we were interested in and ensured that both parties were able to settle on a reasonable price.
What we value from an agent is honesty, quick communication and someone who is not afraid to work hard – all of which Andrew displayed. As such, we would not hesitate to recommend Andrew

My partner and I had been in the property market for the last six months and of all the agents we dealt with, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Andrew. What we value from an agent is honesty, quick communication and someone who is not afraid to work hard – all of which Andrew displayed when we worked with him. As such, we would not hesitate to recommend Andrew.

Veronika was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the purchase of our client's property. She maintained a high level of professionalism and communication during the process and was very easy to deal with.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending Veronika to any seller looking to sell their property.

Jonathan Carr |
Firstly Jonathan Carr professionalism is outstanding. I had some questions and there was no hesitation in answering them for me. Signing the lease agreement was a very smooth process.
Ali Caputo your receptionist is an asset to your company. What a lovely person she is. The receptionist is one of the most important positions in a company as it can be the first initial contact for a client or customer. First impressions are lasting ones and Ali’s professional customer service matched with her bubbly personality certainly resonated with me.
It’s the little things that make a difference. The day I came to pick up keys, it was poring with rain and she lent me an umbrella. I was on my way to hand in the ingoing inspection report and had to turn around due to a family issue. I called Ali who gave me a solution that worked for everyone. She went above and beyond because she wanted too.

Jack Greentree |
Jack is an awesome and most professional agent. One of the few agents that do exactly what they say. Jack had a well-qualified customer base and sold our apartment in 1 day in a tough market. Our apartment was sold off market so no marketing expenses were incurred. This made us very happy!
Brilliant sales effort from Jack Greentree and James Dunn. We will definitely be dealing with these guys again. Thank you

It was not easy to open our house to inspection by the public for 4 weeks. However, our concerns were made easier by the advice & manner of our agents. Paul & Ophelia worked tirelessly with many after-hours inspections. At all times they were professional and always gave us feedback on the day of our inspection.
We would always recommend them both to our family & friends.

We were impressed with the energy and focus that Veronika and her team brought to our sales campaign. Veronika was very professional and worked long hours to prepare for the campaign and to secure solid results. We found her great to work with.

From the time we listed our property, to the handling of open homes, to recommendations of other excellent professionals in getting our property ready for sale, Veronika and her colleague have been amazing. Even post closing, Veronika has delivered with advice and recommendations. We trusted her insight and judgement totally and the result was excellent !

We're so happy with the way Veronika interacted with us - both as prospective buyers as well as vendors. The results speak for themselves, but Veronika made a stresful process easier by taking the time to give us full weekly updates of progress and fully explaining the strategies for our sale.

Veronika Turnbull |
Veronika comprehensively managed the sale of our property from helping our tenants to vacate, through to preparing the property for sale including coordinating marketing, staging, inspections and responding to buyer queries. She did this with integrity and transparency and we were across each stage of the campaign.
She coached us through the auction process and achieved a solid price within the estimate of value proposed at the start of the campaign. Veronika is an excellent communicator and gave us confidence at every step that we had made the right decision entrusting our property to her for sale. We appreciated her advice, and her willingness to take our needs and suggestions on board.
She brought a sophisticated and intelligent approach to the sale and her management of us as vendors was supportive and inclusive.

Phoebe Nothling |
These guys were exceptional in both their professional manner as well as their friendly nature and constant kind reassurance.
The house was marketed at a time when the market was falling due to a banking commission and poor economy, leaving few buyers with access to funds. The sale was also complicated by the tenancy arrangement with 11 tenants sharing the home on separate tenancies. Despite all obstacles Phoebe and Glenn were able to find a buyer and conducted a sale at a very pleasing price.
I'm very impressed with every facet of my dealings with this company and recommend them highly.
Thanks guys, Ill miss you.

James is a really fabulous agent - I could not rate him more highly on professionalism, warmth and patience, attention to detail and determination to get the best possible result for both buyer and seller.

It was a pleasure working with Andrew and would definitely engage him again.
On day 1 he told us “I will be here” and he was. He always available to us, provided honest feedback and followed up on every opportunity. He never pressured us and clearly understood our needs. He is an experienced agent and was able to sell our property during a challenging time.
Thank you Andrew.

I recently commissioned James to sell a unit for me. He discussed the likely selling price and options for the sale. His very professional team advised on the best presentation of the unit and prepared advertising material. The unit sold before auction for a pleasing price.

Preparation for sale in every important detail. Very friendly. Very accurate judgement of current market which helps to set a real price for property sale. We can recommend James to any customer expecting a good result. Definitely we will ask James again to sell another our property.

I engaged James to sell my apartment and it was not an easy process as the market had turned. There was not enough interested parties to take the property to auction, so we went on sale and it was a difficult process but James worked the remaining parties and got me the result I wanted. He and his team are a great bunch of dedicated professionals.

James Dunn |
We were so impressed with James and his team throughout the entire sale process. Our situation presented some challenges as we live overseas and needed to sell a property in Sydney that was tenanted at the time. James did a fantastic job liaising with the tenants, styling the property, arranging opens and closely managing potential buyers. In a tough market we were thrilled with the result we got and how James negotiated the process. We would highly recommend James and consider the result that he and his team delivered to be exceptional.

James Dunn |
After careful research we decided to go with James Dunn as his sales consistently reflected the highest sales prices in our area. Upon meeting with James and his assistant Tim Muckenschnabl we were immediately confident in our choice and impressed by their pool of potential buyers, market insights and well researched ideas for an effective and strategic campaign to achieve the best result for our property.
James and his team have an eye for detail, which meant the marketing campaign was expertly executed and targeted to the right buyers, which we believe made the difference between selling at the reserve and selling well above the reserve, as we did.
James and his team worked in close partnership with us, which allowed us to maintain confidence and feel in control during the selling process. James kept us thoroughly updated throughout the campaign, right up to the auction which meant even at the most stressful point in the process, we felt assured of a positive result.
We highly recommend James and his team of eastern suburbs property experts at Richardson and Wrench Double Bay (R&W), as we believe we achieved an amazing result in a tricky market due to his tireless work throughout the campaign.
Friendly. Professional. Knowledgeable. We were delighted with our end result!

James was recommended to me by two friends who had business dealings with him and one friend who cited the wonderful community work he has been doing with Double Bay Primary School for many years. I am glad I took their advice.
James successfully sold my apartment and was consistently professional, knowledgeable, intuitive, polite and calm.
James is able to negotiate very well with integrity and care which was important to me.

Veronika Turnbull |
I was recommended Veronika by a friend. I met with 4 other well known agents in my area and decided to go with Veronika because I felt the most comfortably with her approach. She is the consummate sales person with the ability to understand the needs of not only sellers but buyers also. She is perspective, sensitive, discreet, honest in her opinions and does not over promise. She works hard to prepare her vendors for the market reality and conditions at the time of sale. She is always available, is ready with information and handles everything personally. I never had to follow her up on anything.
I was in a position where I had to sell as I had already purchased and it turned out that the market dropped suddenly when my campaign launched, plus the weather was awful. She did everything she could to achieve the best outcome for me. My final price was below my expectation but that was due to factors entirely outside Veronika's control. She helped me navigate a very stressful time with supreme professionalism. She represents the changing face of real estate and is a delight to work with.
I highly recommend Veronika for any eastern suburbs property.

Very professional, credible, market knowledgeable and resourceful. Not phased by having to deal with a seller who lives in London, 11 hours behind Sydney time. His communication is clear and straight to the point, not a lot of words just to try to impress you. His negotiation skills are very good and have been used extremely well in this sale.
His assistants, who support him all along the sale process, are very efficient which made me feel very comfortable. Finally I was very satisfied with the sale price.

I cannot recommend James and his team highly enough. He is absolutely professional in all his dealings and makes the daunting experience of selling much easier. I found James fully trustworthy and always acting with my interests at heart and with integrity. He and his team were also extremely helpful in getting the property ready for sale and would always go over and above to help you. Most importantly of course, he was instrumental in achieving a great result and delivering strong buyer interest, extensive market knowledge, and advising and guiding me throughout the process. I highly recommend James to all home owners to use as their agent.

Marion Badenoch |
Marion strived to achieve the best result from the get-go. Our circumstances were complicated because the property was a shared family asset, and we only had a short time period to get the apartment ready for inspection. Marion’s advice, guidance, support and local knowledge were invaluable. So committed was Marion that she gave up her own time to organise the preparation of the apartment – furniture removalists, painters, electrician, plumber, stylists, photography and advertising. Marion also had the delicate touch necessary to work at a fast pace on a sensitive family matter. The result was a rapid transformation of a 60s-style apartment.
Marion is clearly passionate about real estate. It was typical of her to respond to our enquiries at any time, including night and on weekends, and always in a warm and positive manner. After each open-for-inspection she phoned us to provide a thorough update, followed up in writing.
As the auction date drew near Marion carefully explained the process to us so that we were well prepared. On the night of the auction Marion worked energetically to inform and reassure both us and the prospective buyers.
We would thoroughly recommend Marion to all potential vendors.
Jennifer & Sandra Platt (Vendors)

Marion Badenoch |
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the preparation and auction of the unit that belonged to my late brother and my sister.
You kept us thoroughly informed all the time. I consider that the result achieved at auction was a result of your knowledge and expertise and would not have been achieved without your input. I have been involved in 2 other auctions, as a vendor. The time and effort that you put into our campaign far exceeded the real estate agents’ work in those previous campaigns.
I have enjoyed making your acquaintance and our regular communication.

Michael Dunn |
He never hurried me in making decisions that were hard to make but continually offered support and advice as to how things could move along, even paving my way for my next move to an apartment. His suggestions for massive de-cluttering and presentation of a very old loved house were much appreciated and he was always willing to lend a hand even when my hose blew up in his face as he was fixing it for me.
We were an extremely busy venue with many private showings, as people considered how to best approach renovating the grand old house.
Michael and his team were always aware of my needing plenty of notice when this would occur, as I was only recently out of hospital and coping with a bereavement in the family, so I needed their help.
Many thanks Michael for a great effort carried out in the gentlest way possible.

Not only have they achieved an outstanding result for my property, they have done it in an exceptionally professional way.

My husband and I purchased a property in Paddington toward the end of 2017. We currently live in Melbourne and it was difficult for us to get to Sydney at the time.
We wanted to be in a position to rent the property as soon as possible after settlement, as Christmas was fast approaching. However the property needed some work done.
Erica was thoroughly professional and wonderful to deal with. She made the entire process for us easy and fast. She responded quickly to any questions we had.
Not only was she able to procure brilliant tradesmen, but she arranged to meet them and procure quotes, despite her own busy schedule.
Importantly she knew the property market well and gave us sound advice on rents and marketing.
She leased the property very quickly at an excellent rent to a very responsible tenant and kept us informed throughout the process.
I would not hesitate to recommend her and the R&W team to anyone.

James and his supporters handled the sale of my unit in Elizabeth Bay with great skill and attention to detail. Communication with me and potential buyers was of the highest order. The sales program was very well targeted and carried out, the timing of the upgrading to improve the sale prospects tight but very efficient. Throughout meticulous execution was accompanied with unfailing courtesy. James was a great credit to his profession and a pleasure to deal with. Finally the auction process and outcome were remarkable.

Recently your office sold our apartment in Young Street, Paddington. We are extremely happy with the results and the way your team worked with us.
This great outcome was achieved by the outstanding diligence, attention to details and the charming diplomacy of your team, Phoebe Sheperd, Marion Badenoch and Tim Muckenschnabl.
Marion has been patiently keeping in touch with us for some years, anticipating that a sale might happen. Then when the decision to sell was made, Phoebe and Marion explained the process to us in some detail. Even before there was any agreement, they helped us with their list of quality trades people to prepare the place for sale. After we signed the Agency Agreement, they moved quickly and efficiently to market the property. We had a very strong response to their email and internet promotion. So many people viewed that Phoebe, Marion and Tim had their hands full coping with the viewings.
The campaign was short - four weeks. Not wanting to miss any opportunity, Phoebe volunteered her time to open on Thursday evenings on top of the Wednesday and Saturday events. And when a dawn photo was needed, they got up at 5 o'clock on a grey Monday to catch the sunrise.
Selling is quite an emotional exercise; they nursed us through it beautifully with daily communication: phones, texts and emails. Every potential buyer was qualified. We were carefully guided so that our expectations did not run too high. No doubt my stubbornness must have been annoying. They were not discouraged, the team always responded calmly and with smiling diplomacy. Great talent.
You know the most important thing I can say in summing up is: it was fun, we really enjoyed their lively company and we'll miss them. It was a completely successful experience.
Thank you Phoebe, Marion and Tim.

I can’t thank Paul enough for the amount of time and effort he put into the sale. He not only advised us on preparing the house for sale, but actually project managed the work as well, coordinating a myriad of tradesman in this endeavour. He was ably assisted in this task by Lillian Shi whose fluency in Mandarin was of great benefit to the large number of Chinese buyers who inspected the house. Paul was prompt to return our calls and was more than happy to speak with us on weekends and evenings. He provided us with regular updates and gave us his expert opinion with respect a number of offers made prior to auction. On the basis of his advice we proceeded to auction and we were extremely happy with the eventual sale price which was well over our reserve.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Paul and his team at Richardson and Wrench Double Bay.

From the get go James and Jack from Richardson and Wrench were very professional and kept us informed of what was happening all the tie.

Highly recommended!

James and his team had helped me sell my family property at Vaucluse in October 2017. He is highly knowledgeable, very responsive, and a pleasure to work with. As i was based overseas in San Francisco, I relied heavily on Jame's expertise and recommendations and entrusted his advice on many decisions in every step of the selling process. He had worked with over a period of several years and was always happy to provide his consultation from the time we had considered putting the property on the market right through to the day of the auction.
I am very pleased with the outcome of the auction, and am very grateful for Jame's hard work in making it happen. I highly recommend James and would enlist his services again in future if and when the next opportunity presents itself.

Their combined advice resulted in the successful sale of 8 Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill. The execution of this delicate transaction, was by far the best I have experienced in 40 years in the business world.After the sale was agreed, their care and attention to us the seller and to the buyers needs is also worthy of praise.
In my opinion Michael Dunn and James Dunn are the Very, Very Best in the Real Estate Business...!

James is an extremely accomplished salesman. He is polite, a hard worker and totally committed to his vendor. My property was not a run of the mill property, James worked extremely hard and produced a great result.
James would always be my go to choice of agent for buying or selling. He really delivered a stress free sale.

Veronika was the Agent on the apartment I recently purchased and I found her to be a solid and trustworthy Agent throughout the entire sale process.
Her communication skills were exceptional and I would have no hesitation recommending Veronika for any future apartment sale. Her calm and rational approach made a very big decision a lot less stressful, so thank you Veronika!

I had the pleasure of working with James and his team for the first time during the sale of my property in Rose Bay in 2017, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
James is mature beyond his years, presents himself with confidence, possesses great people skills,and he has a warm wit, which is sometimes needed when selling property. He also demonstrates good intelligence about the market and property values. He is honest, he communicates clearly, and he cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to make sure his clients are happy.
James impressed me with his enthusiasm, his integrity and his commitment to work hard on my behalf. He was also easy to deal with and I'm sure he's on the way to becoming one of the finest agents of Richardson and Wrench in Australia.

We always felt like we knew exactly where we were every step of the auction campaign - no chasing for updates or feeling left out of the process. Her openness to fit into prospective buyers busy schedules was impressive to say the least.
If you want to cut to the chase with an honest, professional agent - Veronika's the one you've been looking for!

Her amazing assistance with this complex sale of an estate property was extremely impressive accompanied with a confident yet personal approach. I was even more impressed with how she took charge of the purchasers leaving them all wanting to bid higher.
Phoebe always kept the vendor and solicitor diligently informed of the progress with inspections, inquiries and was always ready to make herself available to show the property to prospective purchasers; no task or request too great.
Thank you for your care and attention like no other. I look forward to a long relationship with you.

From the moment we met Phoebe at an open inspection for another property, she was engaged and genuinely interested in our personal situation and how she may be able to help. At no point during the process was Phoebe pushy which was refreshing. Her communication with us was excellent throughout and she achieved a great result in a compressed timeframe.
We would highly recommend speaking to Phoebe before appointing another agent.

I sold my apartment in Double Bay with the help of James and his team. This was my first-ever property sale, and complicated by the fact that I live overseas and had to manage the process remotely.
It was incredibly reassuring to have James' knowledge and experience supporting every step of the process. The sales campaign was targeted to perfection and delivered an auction result 30% higher than estimated.
I'd love to buy another property in the area just so that James could help me sell that too :-)

We were away attending our daughter's wedding the week before our marketing campaign began. They organised different trades people to come and get the property looking perfect. We were so impressed with their commitment and assistance.

There were no surprises come auction day and we felt that their honesty with us through the sales period helped shaped the campaign perfectly.
Should they not have guided us as they did we may not have achieved the same fabulous result.

I was referred to James by an associate and from the first contact he was totally professional in his approach to all aspects throughout the sale. He listened and came fully prepared after doing his research and provided supporting information about the market trends and expectations.
His advice and suggestions are based on fact, research and experience which as a vendor gave me a great deal of confidence in the decisions I had to make.
The best judgement to any review is when asked " would you use him again?" My answer is Yes without hesitation.

We first met Phoebe when purchasing our property in Kensington and had no hesitation engaging her when it came to selling the same property. We never considered another agent.
Phoebe is experienced and very knowledgeable and ahead of current market trends, sales and insights and always goes the extra mile to help with the buying/selling journey from the very beginning until well after the sale is completed. She is honest, authentic and respectful.
We would highly recommend Phoebe and we are looking forward to working with her again in the future.

While R&W had previously leased the property, as a recently appointed executor, I had no prior experience in dealing with them. They made the sale easy: arranging for some minor repairs, the styling of the vacant unit and introducing us to suitable lawyers. We had sensible discussions around the reserve and they dealt with all stakeholders fairly in a polite and courteous manner

I was so pleased that I again used James for a second property that I was going to sell later next year and moved the second property forward to mid-December. I have found James to be very accommodating. He is communicative and understanding with a “nothing is a problem attitude”. He definitely puts in extra effort and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Due to their professional, flexible and personable approach the decision was made very simply. It turned out to be a wise choice and I could not be more satisfied with the service provided and the competence and pleasant personalities of all staff involved.
The result was excellent with the sale meeting the pre-auction estimate. We did not have to go to Auction having a private pre-auction sale negotiated.
The property was purchased by a previous client of Richardson & Wrench, who were contacted through their existing database during the marketing period. I could not give a higher recommendation to both Michael Dunn and Veronika Brinkmann for their professionalism, attention to detail and expertise in their field.

We reviewed a number of local Estate agents, R & W shone through as our preferred choice. At that time we had not fully understood the gravity and science of the sale process. As we embarked into the sale we found we were in even more expert hands than we knew existed. Robynne and Jack of R&W professionally and precisely; with a full understanding of our emotional attachment to the property, guided us though the sale from beginning to an enormously successful auction. From the first opening house to the very last phases of the sale we were kept completely informed of every aspect; from potential buyers to movement in the housing market, it was all extensively covered in our weekly meetings and weekly reports.
My partner and I could not have been more impressed with absolute service and expertise that R&W delivered at every stage across the entire sale process. We knew we were in expert hands and could not speak more highly of our experience with R&W.

This letter is to thank you and your team, Veronika, Kate and Leah for the outstanding service you provided to me and the rest of my family in marketing and selling our old family home (held in the same family and never on the market since 1920) following the death of our parents. It cannot ever be easy getting a “deceased estate” property into the best possible condition for sale, but with your help and guidance the old house certainly did look its best over the weeks leading up to the Auction in November 2015.
Now, nearly three months later, settlement has been completed and our family is very happy with the result. The professionalism, efficiency and facilitation of the process shown by everyone on your team made this emotionally traumatic event much easier for all our family members who were involved in the sale of the house.
The photography, advertising, open house inspections (and private inspections), the video of the property, the auction, and all the paperwork were handled by you and your team expeditiously and made us feel the marketing and sale of our family home has been entrusted to good hands.
So thank you all for a superlative effort. My four siblings and I all appreciate everything you did for us and we are very happy to recommend your services to any of our friends who need Real Estate help.

What distinguished you team from the others was your understanding of the subtleties of the market in this area, your professional construction of the marketing program and, most of all, your ethical approach. You, as team leader, you were invaluable in guiding me through what, for me, was a pretty harrowing experience. You identified early the “right” likely price, got your team working on you customer data base and quickly led the process to a successful conclusion. I could not be happier. Thank you.

This flat, although well maintained and occupied by successive long term tenants e.g the most recent from 2006 to end May 2015, had not been renovated for many years.
Our flat, was the third of similar unrestored G type flats in the building to come onto the market in the first quarter of 2015, the second 17G , sold at auction by R&W a month or so earlier.
In the buoyant property market, I contracted with R &W and granted Phoebe a limited opportunity sell our flat, being initially a10 day window (with no marketing budget) which was subsequently extended some additional weeks to embrace the potential final purchaser.
Throughout the period Phoebe, was
- determined and diligent in pursuance of the sale.
- a very active communicator between myself, the tenant and the purchaser.
- helpful in liaising between the respective solicitors.
- all administration matters from pre sale thru to post settlement were dealt with very smoothly efficiently.
- most important was the excellent result attained ; in that the price level she negotiated was substantially above my own expectations.
In summary, throughout the short time that I have known and have had dealings with Phoebe, she has presented herself as a very friendly and attractive person who has acted acted at all times most professionally.
I have no hesitation recommending Phoebe to anyone seeking in the future her real estate services.

Originally from Hobart she has a warmth and genuineness that is not seen in the Eastern Suburbs pretty much anywhere - let alone in the real estate game. She was open, friendly, crystal clear, and up front with what she knew and what she didn't - and there haven't been any surprises since moving in that I wasn't aware of prior to buying.
She has maintained contact and provided updates of properties that bear some relation to mine (good and bad) to give a clear indication of what exactly I'd purchased and how its value was tracking. She's a real person in a business where talk is cheap. I'd buy from her again.

During my 30 + years in the area I got to know most of the Real Estate Agents. Once my husband and I decided to sell our Family Home, we invited Paul (and a couple of other agents) to give us an assessment of the home and some guidance for the process. Paul got me a pen and paper and methodically guided us through the various steps that we needed to do in preparation for the sale - no stone was left unturned! He organised the appropriate contacts and help as needed and constantly checked that all was going to plan.
In addition, Paul is a true gentleman and with his vast experience in the Real Estate business, his obvious love of his job and wonderful way of dealing with people, we decided to select Paul as our Selling Agent. Paul had lived in the area for more than 40 years so his local knowledge of the area was important and also a ‘deciding’ factor in his selection. Paul’s Assistant Susanna Ma is extremely sweet, polite (as is Paul) and very efficient. On the rare occasion that Paul was not around, she ensured that all was going smoothly. She was extremely reliable and returned our phone calls immediately. Together as a team, their communication was ‘top class’ particularly when the campaign commenced. They always kept us informed of the latest feedback and information regarding the inspections etc. Between them they gave us confidence and made our experience much less stressful and we now feel part of the Richardson and Wrench Family.

Your good humour and profound knowledge of the property market are formidable qualities.

With you and your excellent assistant Susie, I feel inclusive, and well informed about any decisions taken. You were always available to advise and inform and I greatly appreciated your weekly Newsletter. My unit, I believe was a price record breaker in its category and that was entirely due to your complete endeavor and understanding of the Real Estate Industry.

James acted with generosity of spirit and integrity for myself and prospective buyers at all times and kept us up to date with the latest information after all open days and inspections.
We were amazed and delighted at the result of the auction and I would like to thank all at Richardson and Wrench who supported us so warmly through our process.
And to James a special thank you for the work you do with the Starlight Foundation. My grandson and family received this wonderful gift of a family holiday providing much needed joy, hope and happiness after a stressful and traumatic year last year.

Due to your professionalism I had little to do during the sales campaign except to sign off on your recommendations.
The speed and ease with which you were able to access services and costings for us through your contact network of local trade’s people was also a great time saver.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any friend wanting a very competent and experienced agent in the Eastern Suburbs.

Our successful sale of Milroy Avenue,with Richardson and Wrench, Double Bay, demonstrated the perfect transaction and right choice of agent.
The ability to read any market and place our property accordingly, was an enormous plus as we entered the sales campaign, Michael Dunn and Phoebe Shepperd were always available, eager to provide "feed back" and genuinely worked hard for our result.
The greatest asset in any business, is relationships, returning to an agency that you see as "your family agent"……thank you both for care and attention to detail like no other.
We look forward to a long relationship with you both.

It was thus an easy decision to use the “Phoebe Shepperd and Michael Dunn” partnership to sell our home in Rose Bay. What a great team! Everything was well planned, we were kept completely up to date and were well advised. The marketing was excellent and the attendance at our open homes was incredible. We took their advice and went to auction with our home rather than taking offers beforehand – that was the right decision, achieving us a price way beyond our reserve. We have been singing Phoebe’s praises to anyone who will listen and feel very confident in giving her a thorough recommendation if you are considering selling your property. We are happy to be contacted for further information.

From our first encounter at inspection Phoebe engaged us with ease, and was helpful but not pushy. If there was something she couldn’t answer, she took the time to follow up and provide us with a prompt response. She accommodated our needs and was available to talk with us late at night after we put the kids to bed. Phoebe’s genuine nature made us feel comfortable and nothing we asked or arranged for ever felt like an impost.
On auction day, Phoebe demonstrated her skilful ability in getting the best outcome from us as the buyer, again without being too pushy. The week that followed was one of intense negotiations in which Phoebe worked incredibly hard in bridging the divide, by communicating effectively and transparently to close the deal.
We were so impressed with Phoebe throughout the journey that we engaged her to sell our property. She did an excellent job in guiding us through that process and kept us on track, as well as provided many relevant contacts to get our property ready for sale. We sold our property above market expectation. Phoebe Shepperd is a consummate professional in residential sales and we recommend her without reservation.

I always felt that Phoebe was looking after both her client and us, and her integrity and enthusiasm for her work is evident. I believe she will only continue to grow as a presence in Sydney property.
