Testimonials
"I found Chris to be very professional, personable and diligent to
work with. He was able to bring together all the elements which were
necessary to produce an auction result that was above and beyond my
expectations. He was consistent in his approach - from his initial
appraisal of the property's value right through to his advice as to
setting the reserve figure. I followed his advice and I got a stunning
result. I will be recommending him to all my friends."

recommend him."

"Chris Batchelor and Carl Madsen were agents we selected for the
sale of our family home in Herne Bay Road. Dad owned the house since
before mum and he were married and it was a labour of love for both of
them, so the decision to sell was a hard one. Chris and Carl offered
sound advice and assistance in preparing the house for sale and kept us
well informed during the marketing period. They made every effort to
find the most appropriate purchasers for the home we grew up in, and we
feel entirely happy and satisfied with the process and the result. I
have no reservation in recommending Chris's and Carl's services."

trustworthy ethical and exceptional agent."

'We found Chris to be very professional, attentive, and patient. We
had considerable problems with the council and he worked well with our
lawyer to resolve these issues. This was a subdivided property on the
market for the first time - hence the problems. We had huge interest,
there was a lot of work, and we sold well. A great testimony to the
detail and professionalism showed by Chris. I would work with Chris
again and recommend him to others.'

'I'm an overseas seller and Chris could not have made this sale any
easier for me. He went beyond the call of duty and I was very happy with
the outcome. Way to go Chris!

"Chris Batchelor worked extremely hard to find us a house to buy
after we had sold ours. He was honest and easy to deal with, keeping us
informed on all counts. Chris took the time to listen and understand
where we were coming from, what we were looking for in a property and
went out and found it. I would definitely recommend him to anyone
looking to buy or sell."

found Chris to be a consummate salesperson. Not only is he extremely
hard-working, professional and approachable, he manages to achieve
impressive results without compromising his integrity. We were
completely blown away by the sales price that we achieved at auction –
almost 30% over our CV! Chris is a rare breed of agent and we would
have no hesitation in recommending him."

"George and Chris, thank you for the outstanding job you both did on
selling my property. Through your combined effort, you made the whole
process a lot less stressful than I had imagined. Your professional
approach, well organised campaign and your recommendations were greatly
appreciated. You surpassed my expectations and delivered exactly what
you had promised. I am extremely happy with the result and look forward
to dealing with you both again in the near future."

"After a disappointing and fruitless 3 months on the market with
another company, we decided to try something different. George Damiris
and Chris Batchelor had a refreshing approach to our situation. They
were extremely hard-working, professional and approachable, and managed
to achieve impressive results without compromising their integrity. We
were thrilled by the sales price that we achieved at auction day – 20%
over our CV! George and Chris delivered what others could only promise
and we would have no hesitation in recommending them."
