Sandford Street, St Lucia - SOLD - Another Delighted Client
This testimonial is in favour of Arthur Conias Real Estate, in particular Thomas Coussens, who is employed by Arthur Conias, and the person I chose to sell my property. For a year or so I contemplated selling my lovely riverfront apartment situated at Sandford Street, St Lucia. I interviewed quite a few agents but did not feel they were the people I wanted to place my property with. I started to notice firstly the signs of Arthur Conias, they were professional, attractive and best of all no marketing costs to seller; within a short space of time these signs had the sticker “SOLD” on them. I rang the agent a few times and was met with a courteous reply to any questions I asked, not mentioning I was thinking of selling. I spoke to Thomas Coussens over the phone, was impressed by his voice, knowledge and non pushy attitude.
OK! “Time to sell” I decided and rang Thomas. On meeting him I was surprised by his image and professional manner and knowledge of the area. Thomas would probably be too kind to say that I was not as pleasant to him, I was real estate agent cautious, and gave him what many (who know I’d been burnt by a real estate agent in the past) would call a “grilling”. I was in my opinion entitled to find the best person I could, to represent my sale of my beloved apartment, where I’d spent many happy times for several years, also whoever purchased it was getting along with my property, people within the complex, who had become over the years friends and almost family like, there were residents that went out of their way to be helpful and kind as well as highly respected in the area of St Lucia and Brisbane.
I would say to anyone who is selling and looking for a good agent to “go see Thomas” Coussens, he will work hard to gain a good price, respect the property being on the market, as well as look you in the eye. Thomas stayed in touch the whole time, always asked if the time was appropriate to show a prospective buyer through.
My apartment sold within three weeks for a reasonable price. Listed below are the points that pleased me as well as surprised me-
* Good mannered (despite me being a mite difficult)
* The whole team came to check out my residence some 23 or so (at one time). This agency works as a team
* Respectful of me and times, Thomas showed a client through
* No marketing costs to seller. (In the past I’d written many cheques for advertising when selling with other agents).
* Attractive photography to show property well – even flyers were put in boxes around the area, attractive, well written and of no cost to me
* Always kept in touch with me re-property and interest
* Sale was quick and good result
* Happy with the new owner, met and congratulated the family
Thank you to Thomas and all involved.
