"We listed our property, 68 Jane Ave Warrawong with you in June 2009, having previously had trouble selling as quickly and we would have liked 7 townhouses. You very smartly arranged a marketing proposal and open houses within a very short period of time had all but one sold for the price we had agreed upon. At the same time keeping us well updated as to what was happening and working well with our conveyancing agent. Stephen and I thank you for you’re service and are very happy to have chosen the right person for our job". [agent: scott phillips]

"Having approached 2 Estate Agents prior to meeting Scott Phillips I requested he visit 8 Rowlands Avenue Wollongong and give me an understanding of his opinion of the property. The two other agents who came to the property each took some days to get back to me and each forwarded me the exact same presentation with prices well below what I was prepared to sell the property for. When Scott came to the property I told him I was not interested in all that procedure and to give me an estimation of his value of the property. After perusing the property for some 30 minutes Scott’s estimation was $90,000 above one agent and $65,000 above the second one. As his figures was very close to what I was prepared to sell the property for I was more than happy to allow Scott to run with the property and see what he could achieve. The property was on the market for only a matter of weeks and was sold for a price only $15,000 below his original estimation so I must give him great credit to Scott for his vision and salesman ship. 17 Minnegang Street Warrawong was a little different in as much as it was a much lower priced property and I was very keen to have a quick sale, which was achieved within a matter of weeks. Again I must give credit to Scott for his handing of this property. I must also admit that from time to time throughout these sales I was not the easiest person to deal with and looking back I admire Scott for his tact and understanding in dealing with me in a very calm and professional manner. I would recommend Scott to any one who is considering selling a property within this area". [agent: scott phillips]

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the way you handled the sale of our investment property. You were very professional and kept us informed through the whole process but maintained the balance of not overloading us with unnecessary phone calls! We were very happy with the sale price and the successful negotiations for a settlement date. [agent: James Ianni]

Evnike Ens

James you made the whole selling process run so smoothly. From day one of signing, you kept us up-to-date with everything, which made us feel so at ease with what was happening or about to happen. We could not have imagined such a fantastic outcome. After only one open house our property was SOLD! I will be recommending you to all my family and friends. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. [agent: James Ianni]

Our first contact was with Andrew. He was always accommodating, rescheduling his own meeting around us. We never felt pressured, but guided the whole way. When we went to the office he was not only passionate about his campaigns, but also proud of his office. This made us feel he was genuine and sincere and not in it just to make a dollar. The office is great. It does not give you that ‘trapped’ feeling and adds to the confidence of people like us who were customers. The negotiation was outstanding. We never felt talked down to, were always treated with respect and treated fairly. In fact, we nearly turned this property down, but due to Andrew’s request to have a coffee and then his genuine but not desperate approach helped us in reconsidering this property as a viable purchase. Now that we have secured this property we are very happy. We also like how Andrew was interested in the welfare and relationship of the vendors (post sale) and how he was interested in us (post sale). This has probably been the best experience we have ever had with any real estate ever, and we have bought and sold quite a few houses. [agent: Andrew Hedley]

Daniel & Jeanice Zelli

Our dealings with your agency took the form of a purchase and sale. In both instances we were satisfied beyond expectation with regard to communication, honesty and were given the time to develop a relationship with your agents (professional of course!) Of particular mention is the professionalism and dedication Andrew Hedley showed us. Not only was he ‘hands on’ with us throughout the processes, but was always genuine and friendly to deal with. Once we purchased through Bevans Thirroul and had the experience of how they treat their clients, we were more than satisfied that any potential purchasers of property would be shown the same respect, and we were right. The feedback we received from the purchasers of our property was exactly the same as we had experienced. Thank you Will, Justin and Andrew for making one of the more stressful events in life a pleasure. [agent: Andrew Hedley]

Why Vanessa? Prior to appointing the agent to sell our property, my wife and I 'interviewed' a number of local agents in the quest to find the right choice. What were we after? Someone who was a people-person that was willing to listen to us (quite a few that we met liked to do all the talking themselves ...); someone who knew the reality of the local market and the price guide we could expect; someone who worked with an agency with the technical resources needed to successfully market our property. And last, but by no means least, a person whom we trusted. While a few of the agents we met fulfilled one or even two of the criteria, the only person who met all our needs was Vanessa. Right from signing up, she worked tirelessly and promptly to get our property on the market, aimed at the right buyer with the appropriate campaign. Vanessa asked our opinion and adapted the marketing with our input and suggestions. And all along the way, she continually kept us informed of feedback and what was happening. The result? A sale at a higher price than we anticipated - less than one week after going onto the market. A property seller can't ask for much more than that. [agent: Vanessa Denison-Pender]

Terry Ryan & Tracey Case

I have bought and sold a number of properties in Sydney and Queensland over the past 20 years. In the more recent 5 years I have bought and sold two properties in the 2515 post code. During all of these occasions I have had differing opinions of the agents I had used. They all had their strengths, however they all had weaknesses as well. Which I found immensely frustrating, feeling that I had to do their work for them. That was until I met Vanessa Dennison-Pender. I first met Vanessa at an open house when our neighbours were selling and she had the listing. I was immediately impressed by her professional manner, the way she marketed the property and the tenacity with which she applied herself. I guess it should have come as no surprise that the property sold $200,000 above my expectations prior to Auction, however it did to me. I did not believe the calibre of an agent could make such a difference, but it does. When time came for me to sell my next door property in a falling market she was the obvious choice. Vanessa exceeded all my expectations in the lengths an agent will go to secure a sale for their vendor. She is simply put the best agent I have used in twenty years in over 10 or more sales. We ended up getting a very good price in the market which is proof of her ability. Given lightening does not strike twice in the same place. I would emphatically recommend Vanessa’s service to anyone looking to sell their property, particularly in the high money range in the 2515 belt. She knows the market, she knows the people and most of all you can rely on her to take every opportunity on your behalf to secure the sale. I am happy to be contacted to provide a reference for Vanessa Dennison-Pender. [agent: Vanessa Denison-Pender]

How we sold in 1 week! We worked with Andrew Hedley and Justin Sydenham of Bevans Thirroul to sell our Thirroul house. I spoke with other local Real Estate agents before we chose Bevans. I expected them all to be similar, but found Andrew & Justin were more informed about recent local sales and, importantly, they were able to create a marketing campaign that was specific to our property. The other agents offered the same drab approach for every property. I was impressed by Bevan's marketing flair and their ability to generate excitement and enthusiasm from a target group of buyers. The signage, the photographs, the web design and the printed advertisements were all high quality and showed off the property incredibly well. Consequently, we had 42 groups come to the first open house after just a few days of online marketing, signage and a single printed. I was confident once the property was in their hands we would sell quickly. We were really happy when we received 6 good offers in response to the first open house. The final result was a sale within a week for $30k over the asking price. Andrew and Justin are both great to work. Andrew was brimful of ideas for marketing our place and he kept me informed and aware of all the options for handling such enormous interest in the property. I was also sure throughout the process that he took care to conduct a fair process for the buyers as well as ourselves. We are very happy to recommend Bevans. [agent: Justin Sydenham]

We bought our property through Bevans 10 years ago and had no hesitation in using Bevans for the sale. Justin Sydenham has managed the sale very well for us, keeping us informed during the advertised period of visitor’s comments etc. He received a high level of exposure – the main section feature property of the SMH Domain in the Coast/Country Section & front cover and lead story of the Illawarra Realtor just prior to auction. On the day of the auction, Justin was in constant contact, handled the process very well and achieved a satisfactory result for us. We would be happy to recommend Justin and Bevans to any interested parties in the future. [agent: Justin Sydenham]

Malcolm & Diana Garder

Let me tell you how grateful I am for all the help I received when I decided to sell my villa. Martin between you and your team at Bevans Shellharbour you managed the near impossible, finding me a buyer in record time. But I am not surprised, you are a quick operator. You seem to guess what people want and will like. Thank you once again. [agent: Martin Merritt)

Christiane Richer

I like to thank your agency for the good help and communication from your office to us. Sam Vescio was everything that we like in an agent. Diligent keeping us informed and helpful with any enquiries, to that I must add that he is cheerful and enthusiastic and a pleasure to deal with. I will not hesitate recommending his services.

Elisa Ryan

We wish to thank Phil and his team, especially Jeremy, for all their hard work and dedication to selling our home. We couldn’t have wished for a more professional and dedicated team than Phil and Jeremy to look after our sale.

Lisa & Nick Bennett

We would like to sincerely thank Phil and his team for achieving such an unbelievable result when selling our home!! They were very respectful of the fact that selling your most prized possession can be a very stressful and emotional time, and that’s where their experience, professionalism and support proved invaluable. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Phil Murray Sales Team to anyone who is looking for a fresh and energetic approach to selling their home!

Simon & Haley

"Thank you once again for the sale of my home. Whether it was the right environment to sell or not, I believe the professional dedicated and enthusiastic drive of your staff made the sale possible and in a short period of time. At the end given the delicate situation of two buyers, you handled the situation very professionally and with a win-win result. I would highly recommend your organisation to others " [agent: Martin Merritt]
