Great work and customer service

We bought our home with Steve and his team 5 years ago, and after comparing with competitors for its sale, we chose Steve in a heartbeat. He was genuinely attentive to our feelings and preferences, and his knowledge of the building and the neighbourhood was obvious. We achieved good results thanks to the advice on how to present the property. Everything was dealt with instantly and there were solutions to every issue encountered in the process. Steve was always available and the communication was outstanding. We were also impressed by the accuracy of the initial appraisal: our property sold for exactly that amount, before the auction.

Outstanding from Start to Finish

From the moment we met Stephen, we knew he was the right Agent to sell our much loved family home. Stephen generously gave his time, expert advice and guidance to ensure the property presented well for auction. Throughout the campaign, Stephen was beyond outstanding. Not only was he always available to take inspections, he remained optimistic in this tough market. We were very appreciative of the regular updates we would receive and Stephen would communicate with all family members. To his credit, Stephen sold the property after just two weeks. He delivered an excellent sales campaign that was highly successful. Stephen remained focused and committed from start to finish and he should be congratulated for achieving such a wonderful result. Thank you so much for your efforts Stephen. We are very appreciative and believe you are the No.1 Sales Agent on the Northern Beaches. We would highly recommend Stephen at Doyle Spillane to anyone who is looking to sell their property.

Outstanding Agent!!

From the first time I met Stephen I was impressed with his friendly demeanour and his ability to make me feel like I had chosen the right agent to sell my parents home of nearly 60 years. He had a great knowledge of the local area and realistic prices and was totally honest and up front about the whole process of selling. When we hit a few stumbles with pool compliancy, he knew who we could use to fix the problems which took a lot of stress away. My parents and I had to leave Sydney to be closer to my family in Queensland and I basically left the whole process of selling the house to him as we were not going to be around. Stephen kept me in loop about everything that was happening, he never seemed to have a day off! When we got a great offer after only 2 open houses I totally trusted his advice and he got my parents a great price prior to auction enabling them to be where they need to be. I would totally recommend Stephen as an outstanding agent.

Fantastic Real Estate Agent

Stephen was most helpful in guiding us through our first home purchase. He is a highly knowledgeable & approachable person. He enabled us to be guided through at a comfortable pace & was always there for support whenever we had any questions. Stephen is very down to earth & it is easy to have a transparent conversation with him - there are no pretences with Stephen (unlike other real estate agents who may come across as being pretentious). I’d highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking at either buying, selling, renting or simply doing anything from a real estate perspective.
