Thank you Andrew 👍   Review submitted by Stuart Mann (Vendor) on 24 Mar 2023

We were grateful to Andrew for the due diligence he displayed during the whole process. He was very careful to make sure all necessary procedures were adequately carried out. That gave us confidence working with him.

We first spoke to Andrew from Coffs Coast Real Estate when we wished to view a property he listed for sale in Coffs Harbour. Andrew was very pleasant and helpful with us on the phone and went well beyond his scope of work to arrange various inspections on Sundays, his day off, for a time which suited us as we lived out of town. Upon meeting Andrew, we found him to be friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to assist in any way possible. If Andrew was unsure of any answers to our many questions, he would endeavour to answer all our queries very promptly. Nothing was too much trouble for Andrew and was always there to guide us along. There were many issues with obtaining various paperwork on time, issues with public holidays and trying to settle quickly but Andrew assisted both the vendor and ourselves to assist that there was a smooth and efficient outcome for all. We found Andrew to be hardworking, honest and a professional agent which we trusted and would highly recommend him to all who are looking for an experienced, helpful agent who gives attention to detail and whose patience and professionalism is second to none. Thank you, Andrew. Regards Matt & Penny

When we made the decision that we wanted to sell our property we didn’t hesitate. We knew Andrew was the agent to get the job done in a professional yet friendly and genuine manner. We had previously bought a property through Andrew so our decision to sign with Coffs Coast Real Estate was easy. Andrew went above and beyond to sell our property in a timely manner and even in an unpredictable market he still made it happen. If you are looking for an affordable agent that you can trust, don’t look past Andrew at Coffs Coast Real Estate.

Andrew was a solid choice when selling my property. He set realistic expectations and his communication was always excellent. It was a positive experience overall.
