To anyone who wants a tip?
When you make the decision to sell your family home and move to another, it is a big move involving a lot of serious thought.  You want to use the best real estate agent you can find.  When we decided to sell our Vacy property McElwaine real estate was not our first choice only because we did not know they existed.  The first agent we used to sell our property is a well-known estate agent in the Hunter Valley they had our property listed for (12) months with no offers in that time and not many viewings they were full of big ideas that didn’t work which was very disappointing.
 Out of the blue one morning a knock at the door was Jo.  A pretty agent from McElwaine Hunter Valley real estate, we sat down and discussed the pros and cons of real estate, I was impressed with Jo.  I asked if McElwaine would take on the sale of our property, the best decision I had made for a while.  Very shortly buyers were viewing our property in (7) weeks our Vacy home was SOLD.  Jo said she thought our property would sell in (6) weeks, I was a bit dubious about that time frame but Jo was right, we were over the moon about that.  Well done everybody at McElwaine top job, no pressure.
 Sincerely Mark & Barbara Leman.
 
P.S  Anybody wanting to sell a property and doesn’t use McElwaine real estate I think has a screw loose.

To Sell a home in Dungog Township with expectations over $400,000 will always present some difficulties, as buyers are not so plentiful. We felt supported and encouraged by McElwaine Hunter Valley, we felt we were listened to and we believed we were always kept “in the loop”. Natasha, and her team, were always extremely professional, courteous and honest – and all opportunities for a successful sale were pursued. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for achieving such a wonderful result in such a short time when you and your team recently sold my home.  As "Kirrica" is an unusual but beautiful historic house, I had expected to wait some time before finding a puchaser.  However, with your network of contacts and an excellent advertising campaign, you found just the right person in a matter of weeks.  What I had expected to be a rather stressful period of time was in fact relatively stress free, thanks to your excellent communication with me and your very efficient negotiating skills with the purchaser.

I am most appreciative of the fine effort that you and your committed team made to achieve this result, starting with the fabulous professional photos right through to ongoing informed advice and supportive phone calls.

Thank you for your professionalism and your kindness.  I would unreservedly recommend McElwaine Hunter Valley to other prospective sellers because of my very positive experience with you and your team.

"It is said that divorce and selling one’s home are two of the most traumatic events that can be encountered in life. Having experienced both, I know this to be true! When it came to selling my current home, I wanted an agent that would not only secure a positive result, but one that would be professional and reflective of the quality of my home. I found that agent in McElwaine Property, Dungog. Combining Natasha’s sales and marketing background with Vince’s building experience provides the total package in effective real estate marketing and management. McElwaine Property and its staff deliver a flair, innovation, professionalism and sensitivity not previously seen in rural real estate marketing that made this process seamless and even enjoyable. This was the least stressful campaign I have ever undertaken thanks to McElwaine Property’s hard work and dedication. McElwaine Property is raising the standard in property sales and management and it is obvious from my praise that this is the real estate sales and management team to secure. "

"SOLD IN 4 WEEKS! We (well you) did it! Me of little faith and you always the calm, encouraging, supportive ally in this most fraught process of selling the property. Not once did you mention anything negative – not once – only positive vibes were happening around every tree, acre, dam, hill, wallaby, house and garden. Seriously though, David and I were so impressed with your enthusiasm and devotion to getting the job done. No matter what day or time someone wanted an inspection – it happened. You gave up Sundays, had early morning inspections, as well as the scheduled “opens” - and every time with the same calm, efficient and cheerful manner. Every phone call was returned within a short period and nothing was ever a trouble – even the counselling sessions. As well, when the sale was achieved, you were still available to accompany the purchaser for a rather long meet and greet which – again, of course – was on a Sunday, far and beyond the call of duty! At the end a fantastic result was attained. We wish you and Vince well in your business, but have no doubt it will be very successful with such a professional and efficient person at the helm. All the very best and thankyou. "

"Earlier this year we listed our home, Calton Hill House, with McElwaine Property having already affected our move to the Southern Highlands. We knew and fully understood that having such an unique, historic 1860’s home in pristine condition realistically may determine the fact that there could be first; limited prospective buyers and second; a great many ‘tyre kickers’. We also believed that the purchaser needed to be someone who had a particular appreciation for a mid-Victorian home, as well as strong ties to Dungog. From the very beginning, Natasha and her staff were constantly keeping us informed regarding the advertising campaign, initial inquiries and open house arrangements. Later they liaised with us regarding prospective purchasers and their intentions. Their reporting systems were first class. In a flattening, difficult real estate market we were pleased when McElwaine’s found the right buyer and the sale was completed in June. "
