Neil Frazier - Vendor

Excellent and professional service

From the time we first engaged Barry for the sale of our home until the final sale, every aspect of the process was carried out in a transparent, professional, easy to understand manner. Barry was always prompt and courteous in his correspondence, and his knowledge of the market and buyers was excellent. He never pushed or suggested a 'price drop' for a quick sale. He was confident with his market appraisal and stuck to it. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone looking to sell their home.

David & Heidi Brett

Professional & Knowledgeable

The team were incredibly helpful in the purchase of our first home, even though they were agents for the seller they were so helpful and literally made us feel like we were making the best choice. Couldn’t be happier with the service and know we’ll be listing with them in the future.

Barry France is recommended

Barry is a down to earth gentleman who has been a pleasure to deal with. He has gone above and beyond what we ever expected. He had an open line of communication with us and nothing was ever too difficult. He has proven himself to be honest, direct and trustworthy. We have no hesitation in recommending Barry to anybody, in fact we would not bother to deal with anybody except Barry and his son Matt in this area. His past record of project designs and sales speak for itself.

Giovanni & Jodeen Urbani

Recommend them to everyone!

We were very happy we chose Sawtell Real Estate Co as they were very helpful and gave us regular updates updates after the open house. They certainly gave their upmost to help the sale of our villa through the difficult times of the virus and never gave up. We would like to thank them and recommend them to everyone!

Janet Heaton

Professional yet down to earth.

Barry's unassuming manner along with his practical and reasonable suggestions about preparing the property for sale, decided us on choosing him as our agent. He was always there to listen to our concerns and give us advice which proved to be sound. We felt that he and Matt worked well together and achieved a result we were very happy with. We couldn't fault their professionalism or communication. Verified by RateMyAgent

Sue Withers

Successful sale for family of deceased parent's home.

Barry guided us sensitively with tactful suggestions for improvements to best present the home to appeal to the target-market. He and Matt devoted time each week to "open-days" for potential-buyers, as well as making themselves available to accompany any interested party to privately inspect at any time requested (even on a Sunday). Always, after these, Barry or Matt, immediately contacted us with an honest summary and their realistic opinion of possible buyers. Barry was encouraging and optimistic as well as being understanding (of our sentimental hope to attract an owner-occupier rather than an investor). His thorough knowledge of the 'demographics' of our home's locality was very useful. As inexperienced home-sellers, we appreciated his practical guidance through some of the "legalities" and transaction-procedures. After a difficult decision to part with a much-loved home, the family is relieved and thankful to his agency for their attentive assistance in finding a new young owner. Verified by RateMyAgent

Trish Russell

A Difficult Time Made Easier!

The property we sold was part of our parents' estate, and it had been an emotionally hard time for the 5 siblings to decide on the sale. Barry France was very understanding of the situation and helped us with practical advice in the initial stage of preparing the property. It was Matt though, who took over when the house went on the market. His communication couldn't be faulted, keeping us informed about times of open houses and private inspections and promptly letting us know how these had gone. We were always sure that Matt was working hard and that he was keeping potential buyers' interest in the property alive. During the time the house was on the market, Matt remained positive and confident and kept us well informed about the property market in general. We also really appreciated how well Matt did in having to deal with the two executors, as we both were equally well informed. Verified by RateMyAgent

With helpful hints on how to showcase the property in its best light and a vast knowledge of the market, the home sold for exactly where Barry said it would. Nothing but professional advice and help to get the job done!

"Super Agent"

I value very much the guidance shown to my husband and I by Barry. He pointed out all aspects of the home, good and bad, and gave excellent information for us to make a decision. He helped us as we had not purchased a home in a while and we felt he protected both the buyers and sellers interests fairly! It was a great pleasure working with Barry throughout the entire process and he made us feel safe and confident the entire time.
