Both Liv and Tim have exceptional local and market knowledge and so it was an easy decision to engage them. Right from the start they knew exactly what we were aiming for in the marketing of our property. From the first conversation they came back to us with a brochure that required no editing; it had just the right amount of information and in the language style we wanted. Their communication was phenomenal, on some days it felt like they were mind readers. Their professionalism throughout the process was second to none and any questions we had were knowledgeably dealt with giving us great confidence in their advice, and ability to get us the right purchaser at the level we expected. It was pleasant experience to find agents that were conscientious, responsive, circumspect and rigorous in their dealings with us. They listened, they ensured they understood our requirements and they put in place a marketing package that delivered. They were impressive. We rate them very highly as exceptional Property Agents

Liv has clear communication. She looked after all the details and did everything to make a successful sale. I ended up with 4 offers, significantly exceeding my price expectations. Sale took 16 days to contract then another 20 working days until completion. Great experience, $$ in the bank.

Tim and Liv used their knowledge of their local market to help us achieve an early sale at a price far higher than we had expected. Instead of giving us a high price to get the listing and then talking us down after every open home, they spoke only positively about the property and talked the interested parties up. We are thrilled with the outcome.

Liv, and her colleague Tim Dunningham, were outstanding agents. They listened carefully, produced a very fitting marketing description, engaged interest from far and wide, responded rapidly to our requests for their input or assistance, handled the various issues and dilemmas that arose for us with the utmost integrity and professionalism, and were able to refer us to some fantastic people in the community when our need was out of the scope of their practice. They were both very knowledgeable in terms of all things property and their initial appraisal of current market conditions turned out to be spot on. They also had superb knowledge of our local area - Diamond Harbour on Banks Peninsula - and were always friendly, punctual, and respectful. And the proof that all of this matters? Our house sold for a very decent price in just under four weeks and has been purchased by people who will clearly love it just as much as we have. So, we feel very grateful for having been referred to Liv and Tim and couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Liv was very helpful from our first contact. Very personable, a careful listener and a clear communicator. Liv provided clear instructions about preparations we needed to make and information we needed to provide and she was also proactive herself in making things easier for us. She provided useful and what proved to be the right advice when we decided together to change from a deadline sale to an auction. She proved to understand the market well in the situation we were selling. She demonstrated genuine enthusiasm about property we were selling and promoted it very effectively. From beginning to end her assistance was very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in commending her to others.

We worked with Liv as the buyers of a property in Diamond Harbour, and what we really appreciated was the timely, transparent communication, and low-pressure, reasonable dealings with her. The transaction had some complex issues to work through and Liv did well at facilitating a great working relationship with the vendors as those issues were worked through. Can recommend her and would be happy to work with her as vendors if we ever sell!
