Testimonials

Josh, Capricorn Pl

"Ying was our salesperson when we bought our first home a few years ago. We found her to be an open, straight-up, and easy to talk to salesperson. We had no second thoughts about engaging Ying to sell that house for us, given we knew she would be honest, we could be frank with each other which was extremely helpful, and she could help us navigate the market to sell. The market changed in real-time during our listing, and Ying kept it straight with us, came over to talk things through, and kept in contact the entire time. Our place has now sold, and in no small part thanks to Ying's efforts. Thanks Ying."

CZ, Shetland Street

“Ying and Chris bring a whole new quality to real estate. They are professional, conscientious, ethical, motivated and patient! Their dedication made us feel like we were their only clients. They don't just go the extra mile, they go to the moon and back to make the deal work for you. If anyone can sell your property Ying and Chris can, if anyone can find you a property to purchase Ying and Chris can. They are the "STARS" of real estate and we are so fortunate to have met them. "YOU" can be too.”

Tarrant & Claudia

“We could not have asked for better representat Ying and Chris. They were working hard for us before we even hired them, offering invaluable advice regarding both presentation of the house itself, the comparative local market, and the selling campaign and process. Every step of the way they kept us well-informed of any communications and developments, and we felt confident in their abilities to consolidate findings, build relationships with potential buyers, and advise us on the best route to a successful sale. The popularity of our home through their marketing campaign was beyond our wildest expectations, which led to a sale price that we'd honestly never dreamed possible. We really appreciated that they always asked us our thoughts on things before giving us their own, but are so grateful for the ongoing advice and support they gave as we truly believe we would not have achieved the same result without it. Thank you guys so much for everything, we can't wait to spend our earnings on the next property!
