Testimonials

We are writing to inform you of the outstanding sales advise and follow-up that we recently received from one of your employees, Larraine.

Larraine was a pleasant and dedicated to her role and the reputation of your real estate name.  Nothing was a problem for Larraine and at all times she conducted herself with the utmost professionalism and etiquette.  Larraine knew the property well and answered all questions well without hesitation, this is a very important quality to receive as a potential buyer.

We have both brought and sold a number of properties over the years and during the purchase of 2 Tobin Ave, we were selling our house at Prestons.  Out own real estate whom we paid a large sum of money to sell our property was not even as good a communicator, as friendly, respectful, responsible and dedicated.

Communication is the key to any business or trade and Larraine always kept us informed and rang us back when she said she would, which is all any customer wants from someone attending to their affairs.  Follow-up is the key to everything and Larraine was dedicated to keeping her word at all times and returning our phone calls or concerns.

Further, even after spending thousands of dollars with an agent to sell our house, we did not even as much receive a 'congratulations' phone call.  Larraine came around in the afternoon to present us in person with her congratulations and a small, but respectable gift, which was received with many thanks after a long and stressful day.

Please extend our congratulations to Larraine on her outstanding approach to real estate and sales, she should be commended and your business should be extremely proud to have someone of such high quality representing your business.

To The Realty Group Macarthur,

I am writing this letter in great appreciation of Larraine Cook’s recent service to us.

During our journey of purchasing our new home we dealt and spoke with almost all real estate agents in the area. This process is very time consuming, exciting, overwhelming, emotionally draining and exhausting. We noticed a huge variance in one business compared to another and this difference was usually reflected in the Sales Executives professionalism and response to us as the purchasers. When buying a home you are not just looking at the point of view as a purchaser but if this agent would be good to sell any future home with us as the vendors.

We always dealt with Larraine at The Realty Group and in our opinion she is a stand out in the area. From the moment we walked in the office she was always curious and very professional. We always felt that she was being very honest about the homes she showed us and when she was unsure of the answer she always communicated that she would find out. We never felt that she was rushing us, unlike others agents that often voiced that they would be able to ‘squeeze us in’. She always returned my calls and whenever she rung me she asked if it was a convenient time to talk. She always treated us with respect and the homes she was showing us. I would highly recommend her as an agent to sell a home, as well as to purchase one from. Larraine always dressed professionally and to us this means that she takes great pride in her job and what she is doing. It is an indicator that she is aware that buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you will make and is not one to be taken lightly. When you are a purchaser on the other end of this it shows that the agent respects you and takes you seriously.

She always gave us a ‘flyer’ about the home, which was very helpful as this meant you were able to look back and remember what you had seen that day. When you are looking at many homes in a week this system works really well from the point of view of the purchaser as you can easily get confused about which home had what. Not many agents have this same system. Well done.

In the end we found our new home through a different agent but I really wanted to pass on my thanks to Larraine. We would like to highly recommend Larraine for any future positions or promotions. Well done Larraine and thank you.

Larraine and Jane,

Just a quick message, now that the dust has settled on the purchase and rental of 54 Tramway Dr, Currans Hill. (I am still intending to pop in to deliver this personally, but time thus far has just not permitted it).

I wish to express a heart felt 'thank you' on behalf of Deb and myself, for the professionalism and friendly service that we have experienced from both of you in our dealings with The Realty Group. They say that the purchase of a house is one of the most stressful experiences that people go through during the course of their lives. I must say that I agree, but in this particular instance, the experience was made so much less of an ordeal thanks to the both of you.

Larraine, we first met you when looking through the property for the very first time. Though I understand that you were not the primary contact for the property, that single point of contact (which is overlooked by so many businesses) was maintained throughout. You had a friendly disposition, even when coming to open up on your day off, and had a "no-BS" air about you, which I really found refreshing. Thank you, for being there for us as we went through the decision making process on the property. You are an asset to The Realty Group business.

Jane, at Larraine's recommendation, we spoke to you fairly early in the peace. Instantly, we could tell that you were both knowledgeable and passionate about what you do, and that you would have our best interests at heart. Without hesitation, we signed up for your property management, and that is a decision that paid off almost instantly. I would have no problem recommending you to others (and in fact, Deb has already done so, with great results).

I would be more than happy to refer The Realty Group to friends and colleagues, and I look forward to a long standing business relationship with you.

Thank you both.

I wanted to get down in writing how impressed we have been with every dealing with The Realty Group so far.  The two of you have been the main face of the company in our dealings, and it has been an absolute pleasure.  Your mix of professionalism, warmth and substance are characteristics that are not found in many service professional these day and is a credit to you both.  Already we have spoken to friends abouts our dealings.  We look forward to a long term relationship with your guys through the property management of 54 Tramway.  I would have no problem providing favourable testimony to anyone. So, thank you.

Josh & Deb, 08/03/2011

Just a quick note to thank you and the staff of the Realty Group for the very pleasing result of the sale of my property.

I was very impressed with the way the property presented on the Internet , the photography was well done and your professionalism and friendly nature gave me reassurance that I had chosen  the right person to sell my home.

I would not hesitate in referring you to anyone that I may know to need your services and I would certainly give you a call if needed in future.

Thanks again and good luck and best wishes for the future.

I would just like to thank you and your team at The Realty Group for making the selling of our first home such an exciting, easy and quick process! You received a price for us higher than what we were hoping for and in less than a day! But more than that, we found you all to be so personable, genuine and so accommodating of our needs and time constraints (with 2 young girls this especially was very much appreciated!). I could not recommend you highly enough, what a lovely hard working, honest team, thank you again and all the best for the future!

"Thanks to The Realty Group Liverpool, our property SOLD in just 5 days. It was previously on the market for nearly 6 months with other agents and we received very little offers and got few inspections. The Realty Group sales team were open and truthful with every inspection and we believe their positive attitude and professionalism gave us the result we wanted and at a higher price than what we expected to get. Once the sold sign was up on our home, we weren’t just a number on their books! The guys at The Realty Group kept us up to date with the sale procedures and they were with us the whole way as we purchased our new family home. We highly recommend The Realty Group to anyone who is thinking of selling."

"I went to The Wealth Edge Group seeking some advice on combining my different superannuation accounts so I could minimise fees and reduce the costs of my income protection. At first I just expected them to sign me up to any product or service, as I had no knowledge in this area. To my surprise everything was explained in simple terms and I now know the basics of superannuation, personal risk insurance and income protection. At the end of it all, I felt a lot more protected and secure with all my financial decisions. This type of integrity and honesty is rare to find and it should be highly praised and recognised. Thanks again, I am forever grateful."

Margaret Bakijovski - (The Wealth Edge Group), 28/10/2008

"The staff at The Realty Group are very friendly and helpful. My Property Manager keeps me well-informed of any issues and I know I can trust him to handle any matters. When it comes to finding the most suitable tenant and rental return, their service is outstanding. I will recommend them to anyone looking to enter the property market."

Christopher S Baker - (The Realty Group), 22/09/2008

"Being a single parent with two jobs and a one-year old child can be really tough at times. I was in need of some serious financial advice and I could never make time to see a financial adviser. The Wealth Edge Group surprised me by personally driving to my house for an appointment, which is nearly an hours drive from their office and it was on the weekend. I was extremely impressed with their attention to detail, level of expertise and genuine interest in my financial situation. I have been to other financial advisers in the past and the level of service and genuine concern you gave me, has truly exceeded all my expectations."

Jeremy McCauley - (The Wealth Edge Group), 08/07/2008

"The service was superb and they helped me all the way, even after settlement had taken place. The Finance Group team made the process simple and fun. I couldn’t have done it without them."

Miriam D Fuente - (The Finance Group), 07/04/2007

"The guys at The Finance Group were fantastic! With their help, I put a great investment strategy in place and whenever I had a question about the loan, they explained the products and features to me with simplicity and common sense. I received great advice and it’s all working out for me. When it comes to getting a loan, I will recommend The Finance Group to all my friends and family without a doubt."
