What others say about Robbie Thorncroft Dear Robbie When the time came to put our family home on the market for the first time in 86 years, initially I found it to be a daunting prospect. Along with getting the house tidied up, de-cluttered and looking fit for sale, I had to find an agent to act on our behalf. My search began with lots of ringing around to local agents. Just by speaking to many of them I was able to rule them out. Those I narrowed it down to, I met with at the family home. I might note I had a lot of agents to choose from… from the large, trendy ones to the local agents with several offices, to the franchises, to the independent sole traders. However, from the moment I met you I knew you were the agent that I wanted to do the job. You stood out from all the rest. You had the right mix of great communication skills, friendliness and organizational skills with the tenacity and drive I felt was needed to sell an unusual property in a difficult market. I liked the way you presented yourself and your prior proven sales and experience. I also liked the way you seemed unflappable and yet SO capable. You gave me the confidence to hand you the property and just let you do your job. I relaxed! AND you did your job so well. As you found out, some of my family members were a little tricky to deal with. You navigated that “rocky road” brilliantly… with tact and discretion and yet never wavering from what you knew would be the best path to take, to get the best price. It must have been very hard at times for you, but you handled a difficult situation so well. It was a relief for me to have you “running the show.” I trusted you implicitly and I was right. You made the entire process run smoothly. You had brilliant systems & methods and were a great communicator to our family throughout. You got a fantastic price for the house, in spite of the fact that the market had dropped since the interest rate rise in early November. Your integrity and good humour shone throughout. I cannot thank you enough for making a sad and difficult episode, so easy and so successful and wish you all the best in the future. Barbara Combe Robbie, Just wanted to say thanks for your help mate, despite the fact that we obviously didn’t buy the place. I imagine you’d have been happy enough with 618K. It may not mean much coming from me, but it’s refreshing to finally encounter an agent who is helpful, genuine and who positively engages with prospective buyers. Well done on last night’s result and all the best in the future mate.

What others say about Robbie Thorncroft Cont’d Dear Robbie Thank you for the outstanding job you did in selling my apartment in Coogee. I could not have asked for a better result, and even after setting a high reserve, to secure a significant amount over my selling price was fabulous; and ultimately a testament to not only the strategic marketing campaign, but also your strong selling and negotiating skills. I interviewed a number of high profile real estate agents, having put them through the motions of showing interest in one of their existing listings. I chose you for the reasons below: 1. I met you over 6 months ago when I was looking for an investment property. From a buyers perspective you followed up, were open and honest, and unlike many agents in the East, made the experience a positive one. 2. You engaged with everybody who came to the ‘open for inspections’ and rang everybody back. Some of the agents, despite me leaving my details, didn’t call me even though I showed interest in the properties they were selling. 3. You responded to my requests sent via domain.com.au on the same day – which was important given that would be one of my main advertising mediums. Many agents didn’t respond at all. 4. You gave me a realistic price range of what my unit would sell for, unlike other agents who told me too much to try and get my business, or too little to make them look good when it sold. 5. You were genuinely interested in selling my unit – it wasn’t just another listing. 6. You LISTENED – I asked all the agents to come with a view of the best way to market my property based on the target market. Some agents suggested every possible marketing medium with no consideration, as ultimately it was more about getting their brand out into the market, than selling my unit. 7. You wouldn’t negotiate on your commission or marketing costs, despite my strong negotiation skills – so I knew I had the right person for the job, as you wouldn’t under sell yourself or my unit. Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and whilst you were not the cheapest, you were worth every cent. 8. And lastly, your professionalism, commitment, enthusiasm, and openness. Throughout the marketing campaign you kept me informed of unfolding events, and our weekly meetings, with your reporting was exceptional. At all times, I knew how everything was going and you answered all my questions, regardless of how trivial. Choosing a real estate agent is a leap of faith, and the best compliment I can give you is to recommend you to my family and friends, which I have done. I know the excellent result was due to the room full of people at the auction that wanted to buy my property, because of all the hard work you had done. I wish you every success in the future, and have no hesitation in recommending you to any potential purchaser or seller. Kind Regards, Deb
What others say about Robbie Thorncroft Cont’d Hi Mark and Robbie: I would like to sincerely thank both of you for all the great work you and all your team have done to produce an outcome that was far above all our expectations. My whole experience as a vendor with Taylors has been highly positive. Both of you were very clear with what i should expect, extremely friendly, and gave me straightforward advice so that everything went so very smoothly from my point of view. I would also like to give a special thanks to Robbie for the way he handled the whole process with a high degree of dedication and professionalism to produce outstanding results. Robbie always kept me informed of what was going on, gave me realistic advice, and was always available when i needed answers to my queries. It is always easy to give praise, and in this case the praise is well deserved, when the results have gone so outstandingly well. I believe however, that it is more telling that on the day before the auction i told Robbie i was so satisfied with all the good work he had done that even if the property was passed in below the reserve price on the auction day, i would still feel that he had done the very best job that could be done. Again many thanks. Peter Tsolakides Just a quick email saying thanks for the assistance with purchasing the property. Over the last 4 months we’ve had so many dealings with really dishonest and off-putting agents so we’re very grateful to have finalised a property with someone who is honest and genuine, a definite rarity in the eastern suburbs market. Dave Krimmer Dear Robbie, Thank you for all your honesty and attention to detail during the recent sale of our apartment. Throughout the whole process you kept us up to date with the real facts about the sale and your weekly reports they were just fantastic. You displayed a very professional attitude and with a courteous, friendly and approachable manner, which was very much appreciated, particularly as selling your home can be an anxious and trying time. We were delighted with the result of the sale, and when the occasion arises again in the future we will not hesitate to enlist your services. Tracy & Andrew Thank you so much for helping us buy our new home, you made us pay much more than we wanted too but are now so happy with the outcome. You were a pleasure to deal with always so happy, honest and genuine. You’re in a class of your own in the Eastern suburbs. Sue & Nathan “…My fiancé and I had the pleasure of first meeting Robbie when he showed us through one of his listings. We were so impressed by his manner and approach there was no choice but to sell our current home through him. Throughout the entire process of sale Robbie has exceeded all our expectations. In his hands, an ordinarily stressful time has passed us by without concern. Robbie’s professionalism, patience and knowledge have made the experience completely satisfying - we look forward to dealing with him in the future..” Peta Maley
What others say about Robbie Thorncroft Cont’d Dear Robbie, Thank you so much for all your help and consideration, I would still be walking the streets if I didn’t have your help.
