Peter has an energy and demeanor that always adds a lot of reassurance to what is a stressful time.

"I am delighted to provide a testimonial for Richard Jackson. My daughter and I interviewed 4 real estate agents before choosing an agent to represent me for the sale of my treasured family home of 60 years. We obviously made the right decision! The home sold at auction at above the reserve price (in December 2018) at a time when the market was softening and the media was all doom and gloom. From the very start, Richard was personable and engaging. He went above and beyond and helped me in so many ways in the preparation and staging of the house for sale. This support was really important to me as my adult children are in Queensland, NT and Tasmania. Richard was at all times responsive and communicative. He kept me well informed about interest in the property and relevant developments. Leading up to the auction he could not have been more supportive and understanding in what was a very stressful time for me. In my dealings with him, I found him to be caring, open, honest and ethical. He was also an excellent sales and marketing person backed by a respected company. I would not hesitate to use Richard again or to recommend him to friends and associates." [Show less]

"Great service and communication - We were very impressed with David in all respects to help us with sale of our property. Always prepared to do that bit extra both in regard to potential buyers and to property management leading to the sale. Since we were interstate we depended on David to arrange access to various parties along the way and always found him extremely obliging!! Would highly recommend him." [Show less]

From the first discussions through to the settlement process, Michelle communicates every step of the way. Nothing was too hard or out of scope for selling the property. Very well looked after, respectful and understanding during the sales process in difficult market times. I would highly recommend Michelle and the agency Raine & Horne DYC. [Show less]

"Martin was appointed after discussions with 2 other Agents from different Companies. He was clear, concise and detailed in the process and the timelines for decisions, actions and negotiation as the sale was a first time experience for us. Following the sale, which included a very short settlement period, his assistance in finding alternate accommodation in the short term was a "life saver" especially with the time of year that the sale occurred. The continued availability of Martin to assist in any issues pertaining to the real estate market, property availability and the like never appears as a problem. Martin has been available and of assistance even after the sale whereas it would be expected that other agents would cease after the sale. To any person seeking an Agent that has empathy and concern for a client whilst ensuring that the best possible outcome would be achieved, Martin could not be surpassed." [Show less]

"The Perfect Agent - It was our first sale of a unit and through the whole process David kept us not only up to date on the processes but also the understanding of them Communication was impeccable and David well and truly is the perfect deal. His mannerisms are not condescending to the seller or buyer, he's polite and achieves outcomes which are well beyond expected where all parties are happy I'd recommend David to anyone and hope that we purchase our next property through him to have the same pleasant experience."

We almost look forward to doing it all again one day and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks Geoff...." [Show less]

"Experienced and reliable - I bought my first place through Sam and sold my first place through Sam and both experiences were really positive. Being new to the process, I wasn't sure what to expect but Sam talked me through each step, kept me informed and did all the heavy lifting in terms of negotiating with various parties and making paperwork seamless. When decisions needed to be made, Sam talked me through the options and helped me make informed choices - I felt reassured throughout the process. On top of all that, Sam has intimate knowledge of the northern beaches market and great professionalism. He achieved a great result for me so I'm pleased to recommend Sam Mendicino." [Show less]

Richard kept us updated regularly, was always polite but we always felt he gave his honest opinion, based on market knowledge and experience.

"We were referred to Peter by a mutual acquaintance. In the process of selecting Peter, we interviewed a number of agents to sell our property. Where Peter and has team delivered was the formulation of a plan to maximise our sale price as opposed to a "it will sell in this market in a short time" attitude which we were exposed to by the competing agents. We trusted the teams judgement and followed the plan for the entire process. This lead to a higher then expected sale price and two very happy vendors. Would not flinch in recommending this team to our family or friends." [Show less]

"Just a short note to advise you of how appreciative my wife and I are at the way Paul Cunningham conducted himself in his endeavors to lease our property.

"Working with Martin and his staff of Crown Matt Sym it was clear that this couple knew this area like no other, they both showed they were prepared to do all they could to have my home sold at a good price but also were very committed to all the presale behind the curtains work with communication very open and contactable anytime if I need to ask a question. The commitment from the two took pressure of myself so the two boys carried it as they would do with any client to leave a vendor feeling at eaze. From here I say Thank you to Martin and Matt as well the rest of this well respected team of pros." [Show less]

"Another great result - I have just had Geoff Pickering and his team achieve a fantastic result in selling another property on my family's behalf.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Geoff and his team at Upstate." [Show less]

I first heard about 5/51 on the Saturday while visiting a unit in DY, closer to the beach. The agent heard me say the unit was too close to the beach, and understood exactly what I meant; he recommended I view 5/51 on the Monday night with an agent from Raine & Horne Dee Why. I viewed the unit on the Monday night and purchased the unit at auction on the next Saturday. One week was all it took! Chris and his agency were very courteous and professional, and Chris was very attentive when I requested early access to the unit to assist in my move. [Show less]

"Susanne Mitchell has been managing property for me for quite some number of years. Susanne has always been extraordinarily consistent in her approach to me as an owner and the tenant- courteous and very professional. During that time the majority of my needs and expectations as an owner have been relatively simple. However, I recently encountered a particularly recalcitrant tenant which Susanne handled incredibly professionally, firmly yet considerately. At all times, my rights as an owner were respected as were that of the tenants and the desired outcome was achieved, purely through Susanne’s ability to manage the circumstances and her negotiating skills. I recommend without any hesitation, Susanne and her team in management at Upstate as a highly skilled capable group to manage anyone’s real estate portfolio- whether it be a single property or multiple, you will receive the same level of service. That I know as a fact." [Show less]

We really enjoyed working with Matthew on the sale of our unit. He is friendly, professional and went out of his way to help us every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his colleague Martin. In a time where Real Estate Agents can get a bad wrap, I can totally recommend Matthew as someone to trust. Small things often make the difference and the service continued once we sold and Matthew went out his way to ask and be there for our little daughter to put the sold sticker on our sign well after hours on a Friday night. I totally endorse Matthew and Martin and they are both a credit to Raine and Horne Dee Why Collaroy [Show less]
