Paul Kantor |
The market took a downturn as I was listing the property and it proved much harder to sell than anticipated. Paul did not give up but pursued all leads resulting in a satisfactory sale. Moreover, Paul was a gentleman to deal with, extremely courteous, prompt and reliable.

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.

He has always kept us up to date with information particularly when negotiations are anxiety promoting and we need support. Paul pro-actively conducted market analysis and helped us find sometimes secret opportunities tailored to our circumstances. Above all, Paul is professional and client-centred.
Put your house on Paul.

I couldn't recommend the team at R&W Double Bay highly enough.

Glenn McMillan |
We had a buyer’s agent approach us before the sale offering to introduce us to a buyer without having to spend money marketing and preparing the property for sale, which sounded tempting at the time. Thankfully, we were recommended to speak with Glenn McMillan. He considered our situation and advised us to make the investment in painting, styling, marketing and auctioning the property, and as a true seller’s agent would fight hard to get us the best price possible.
Glenn handled the sale professionally, communicated with us effectively throughout the campaign, and most importantly, achieved a result that far exceeded our price expectations – by over $150,000!

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.

Phoebe Shepperd |
We have worked with Phoebe previously as buyers and it was an easy decision for us to have her as our agent when we decided to sell. Phoebe displays a level of integrity, honesty and dedication that is rare in our experience. She has excellent market knowledge and is extremely personable, and went above and beyond when working with our prospective buyers.
We are very happy to highly recommend her and have loved working with her.

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.

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.

Phoebe Shepperd |
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.

Not only have they achieved an outstanding result for my property, they have done it in an exceptionally professional way. What proved most impressive was not the promise of a price for my property, but the promise of a process that would inevitably achieve the best result possible. They delivered on this promise and the result surpassed expectations.

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.

Paul Kantor |
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 moment I approached R&W Double Bay office and met Veronika Brinkmann I knew that I would be selling my unit through them. Veronika and Greg were absolutely committed to doing the best they could to sell my property. Their communication was always fantastic, and I always felt complete trust in what they were saying to me, and what they were doing within the sale process. The outcome was very positive, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to sell a property in Sydney's Eastern suburbs.
Wonderful people to deal with, honest and very professional. Thanks you guys.

Phoebe and her team were at all times professional and supportive of our endeavour to purchase our property. She was always able to be contacted even outside her normal hours of work.
She worked diligently with legal team to ensure a prompt and suitable exchange / settlement. If your looking for property in the Eastern Suburbs I can highly recommend her and the team at R&W Double bay.
"Thanks" Phoebe and Tim.

Phoebe Shepperd |
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.

Paul's Executive Assistant, Lillian Shi, completed all her tasks very diligently and respectfully.
The auction process was handled excellently by Richardson and Wrench, resulting in me achieving an outstanding result, nearly 40% over my reserve price.

Phoebe Shepperd |
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.

Both Michael Dunn and Veronika Brinkmann were fantastic throughout the whole process, their attention to detail on marketing and preparation advice for our property was much appreciated as well as their communication in keeping us up to date.
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.
Thank you again and both Marion and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to family and friends in the future.

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!

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.
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.

Robynne Arnouts |
Your database of clients was extensive and this enabled us not to have to go to auction. You were always early for the open inspections. Your knowledge of the market was excellent and sale conditions were handled thoroughly.
Thank you all for a superb effort. I will happily recommend your services to any further sellers and will be using you in the future.
Diana Shatz
Michael Dunn |
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.

Veronika Turnbull |
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!

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
Michael Parshall
James Dunn |
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.
Stephen Tonkiss
James Dunn |
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 :-)
Felicity Glennie-Holmes
James Dunn |
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.
Mrs Gillispie
James Dunn |
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 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.
Their guidance and advice helped make what can be a very stressful and emotional experience as smooth and stress free as possible. I am so grateful we chose Michael and Veronika to advise us through the selling experience. I trusted them implicitly and highly recommend them both.

She should write a book on how to be an agent.

Put simply if you are looking to sell this legend is the person to do it for you.
Thank you so much!

This property was part of a deceased estate and there were several issues to be resolved before it could be sold.
James and his staff were always ready to assist in any way they could to resolve the issues and to ensure that the best price was achieved.
Totally professional and trustworthy organisation!
Highly recommended.

This property was part of a deceased estate and James advised the executor the best way to approach the sale of this property. We were extremely satisfied with the advice and assistance James gave us leading up to the auction and we are very happy with the result achieved.
James Dunn is a thorough gentleman. No problem was too large and it was a pleasure to have James and the staff of Richardson and Wrench Double Bay acting on our behalf. We were kept fully informed during the entire process.

James Dunn |
To whom it may concern, I have been buying and selling properties for over 35 years and I believe that James Dunn is the most knowledgeable and professional agent I have ever dealt with to date and I have no issue with James using me as a personal reference. I wish James every success for the future.
Dominic Casey
James Dunn |
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.

Phoebe Shepperd |
Phoebe applied so much effort, knowledge, enthusiasm and diligence as our agent in selling our property, in what turned out to be not just a very favourable result, but was extremely stress free. Now how often does that happen?
I would highly recommend Phoebe to anyone considering either buying or selling - she's the go too girl!

Through both processes - buying and selling, we found James to be honest and diligent and his advice and assistance invaluable throughout. It’s a rare thing for an agent to be able to provide balanced and insightful advice to all parties involved. It is a real credit to James communication skills and integrity.
We wish James every success and expect to deal with him again
Michael Fenech
James Dunn |
From the onset we had confidence we were in the right hands and have no hesitation in recommending either or both as well as the dedicated sales and administration team behind them to others who value professionalism, honesty and integrity. Everything along the process was done with urgency and smile. Hugely professional whilst maintaining a friendly relationship! Thank you!

We’ve sold properties before but never where everything was handled in such a simple, efficient, caring and stress-free way.

I interviewed six agents before choosing your firm to represent me. 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.
Please convey my gratitude and thanks, too, to each of the members of your team. I liked working with a team of girls, Ania, Marion and Susie. They were great. They really brought added value to the experience

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.

An early problem was quickly rectified before the campaign went to air. It is a mark of a good business that deals with these sorts of issues quickly and efficiently, listens to their clients concerns and efficiently rectifies them

Paul and Susie made a very effective team. We know because we have recently sold and bought through them, to our personal gain.
Paul is an excellent negotiator and this was especially noticeable when he negotiated on our behalf for our new apartment. He not only had the price reduced but also arranged some inclusions which we wanted.
Susie was her inimitable self, showing us around and giving us her ideas as a trained Interior Designer.
Edward Theordore & Virginnia Ross
Paul Kantor |
Your good humour and profound knowledge of the property market are formidable qualities. However I think the most outstanding feature of your technique is your ability to make the vendor feel part of a team. 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.
My sincere thanks to you and Susie for the stupendous work you put into such a successful outcome for me.

Further, we were delighted in the way you handled our sale - it was truly well thought out and your strategy proved you can turn a negative into a real positive. You are a true professional and we would not hesitate any time in the future to use your services and to recommend you to friends and family. I have a drink waiting for you as a L'Chaim for a job extremely well done

He really makes it easy and stress free for vendors and achieves excellent results. I can’t imagine there being a better agent for domestic real-estate in the Sydney Eastern Suburbs and I recommend him in the highest possible terms

Paul runs his business very professionally right from the word. My place was sold quickly with interested and appreciated buyers. We had an amazing outcome. Paul also helped me to find a new abode. I must say, that it is inspiring to know such people like Paul Kantor have faith in the business and believe, that it will succeed. If I decide to move in the future, it will be Paul again I will be dealing with. I hope things will be continue well for dear Paul. Huge thanks from Tamara and Bernard Haneman

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.

A notable feature of his method of doing business is his readiness at all times to keep the client well-informed about the reactions of prospective purchasers as expressed during inspections.
I am well pleased with what he has done and how he has done it

We have dealt with a few agents in recent times and Paul and Marion were the most professional, hard-working and sincere. They will continue to be successful in this field.

I was particularly pleased with the way Paul kept me informed of any enquiries from interested persons, often more than three times a week. At the time of initial offers from the eventual buyer Paul provided me with his advice on the strategies I should adopt to maximise the sale price in our dealings with the buyer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul as the real estate agent for anyone wishing to sell property.

From the initial expert marketing advice on presentation, sales method and timing through to the auction itself we were very impressed with their effort and professionalism. Throughout the sales campaign itself we were kept fully up to date with progress and feedback from potential buyers.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Phoebe and Marion to anybody considering selling their property.
Maggie & Peter Atkins
Phoebe Shepperd |
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.

Phoebe was an absolute pleasure to deal with when purchasing our property. She accommodated all of our needs including organising numerous pre-settlement inspections, returning our 100 phone calls & questions regarding the property. She made the whole process as easy as it could have been.
Thanks for your help Phoebe, it didn't go unnoticed!

After almost a year of open houses, dealing with estate agents and the competitive Sydney property market Phoebe was a breath of fresh air. We will stay in touch with Phoebe and consider her first if we were ever to sell our property.
Emily & Tom Armstrong
Phoebe Shepperd |
Phoebe, working for the vendor managed to achieve a wonderful and win win result both for her client and for me. I placed my trust in her to also organise a bidder at the auction for me and she won my unwavering support for her because of the integrity and loyalty she employed for both of us throughout the process achieving a wonderful result for both sides.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Phoebe Shepperd to anyone as the most thoroughly honest and professional real estate agent I have met throughout my 14 years of property investing purchases in 3 states.
J Bussanich-Hudson
Phoebe Shepperd |
It has been delightful dealing with you through this rather challenging process and deadlines of the purchaser as well as satisfying council needs.
We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is looking for an agent who is engaged, delightful and incredibly hard working.

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.

In the period between exchange of contracts through to settlement, Phoebe was always more than happy to arrange access to the apartment for us, no matter how many times we made this request of her and was always a pleasure to deal with. She has a wonderful personality and was always upbeat and smiling. Nothing was too much effort for her.
Phoebe would be our choice of agent in the future.

We worked with Phoebe Shepperd whom we found to be highly professional, very attentive and not full of herself. She was highly communicative and we appreciated her wisdom in all aspects of marketing and presentation.
She presented the property with the care and attention, as if her own on every inspection and achieved a sale at a very good price.
Thank you for a great job, Phoebe.

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.

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 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.

He is a charming and obliging agent to work with, always cheery and inclusive, ensuring that as a vendor I was made to feel part of the team.
This is most helpful at what can be an emotional and stressful time.
He works hard for his clients, irrespective of the size of the property and achieve the right outcome - so what more could you ask?

From the start James was always generous with his time, advice, help and reassurance which made the whole procedure of preparing, presenting and selling my elderly mothers unit so much easier.
Together with James, my family and I were able to make the process a profound and pleasurable experience doing justice to the unit, my mother, myself and my family. 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.
