Just a quick note to say thank you very much again for your help and support with buying 5 Santiago and selling 60 Bramley.

Just a quick note to say thank you very much again for your help and support with buying 5 Santiago and selling 60 Bramley. We absolutely love our new home and still pinch ourselves daily with the stunning view, extra space and all round awesomeness! We’re looking forward to firing up the gas fire in winter too. We appreciated the time you spent with us to really listen to what we were after and showing us all the relevant properties when we were looking for a new home. Your patience as we got out the tape measure and thoroughly looked at the detail was really appreciated. Your experience with our marketing strategy spoke for itself with the quick sale of 60 Bramley for a great price, making the jump up to the newer bigger home not too much of an issue. No doubt both properties have gone up in value since then in this crazy property market…!

Sonia was fantastic to work with.

Sonia was fantastic to work with. I was hesitant about selling a house that I loved so much so it was not easy putting it on the market. Sonia was understanding of this and guided us through the process with care and commitment. She knew the market and area we were selling in extremely well and what method of selling would work best for us. We ended up selling at auction over what we expected. We especially appreciated the regular communication (I never wondered what was happening) and the updates after u every visit or open home. We always felt we had autonomy over the process. Thank you Sonia for your professionalism, warmth, positivity, and flexibility. We really appreciated it.

When Shirley and I decided to down size from our lovely home in Huntington a very important decision was to select a real estate agent who would do an excellent job on marketing our property.

Having used Sonia previously on other property sales I from this experience rate her highly. She is very professional with an excellent knowledge of strategies for

marketing and successfully selling properties in all segments of the market. Above all Sonia has an awesome personality and importantly keeps the seller in the loop as the marketing of your property proceeds to a successful conclusion.

It is my privilege to write a reference for Sonia Christison of Lodge Real Estate who has recently sold our home.

It is my privilege to write a reference for Sonia Christison of Lodge Real Estate who has recently sold our home. We found Sonia to be well organised, reliable and trustworthy. At all times during the three weeks marketing she kept us informed and “in the picture” and made herself free to help us if we needed advise. We would willingly recommend her to any prospective seller as someone who is caring, honest and fully focused on her job. In summary we were very satisfied with her attention to detail.

I cannot thank Glenn and Sonia enough for selling my home within 2 weeks of listing!

I cannot thank Glenn and Sonia enough for selling my home within 2 weeks of listing! Glenn & Sonia work hard for the vendor by ensuring you have the right marketing plan for your property, that you are kept informed regularly on progress and on matching the right potential buyers to the property. As a vendor you have a choice of which agents to use, prior to signing up with Glenn & Sonia, I spoke to another Real Estate Company, had I gone with them I would be down $30K. Great result from a great team.

We wish to thank you for the assistance you have given to us to enable of this property to be enacted.

You will understand the difficulty we experienced with another agency which showed very little movement and no prospect of a sale. Sonia coming to our assistance was like a breath of fresh air showing enthusiasm on our behalf and encouraging us when the dry patches came. You had real confidence that we should sell and such is the case.

We have no hesitation in recommending you to those who are looking for a suitable agent to bring about a sale of their property.

Glenn and Sonia were recommended to Graham and I by a work colleague, from start to finish they were professional, friendly and made the process of our house on the market stress free.

Glenn and Sonia were recommended to Graham and I by a work colleague, from start to finish they were professional, friendly and made the process of our house on the market stress free. Our house was on the market for only nine days and we sold for $25,000 more than we thought we could achieve. The best Real Estate agents we have ever worked with.
