I sold my property through Grant McEnally who was supported by Simon Kowald and the team at Guardian Realty. We listened to Grants advice, which was to paint the property internally, get the property styled and take professional photos.

Throughout the process, Grant, Simon and the team made our decision making seamless and we were given regular updates regarding our property.

We sold our property with Grant leading the charge. Grant was supported by Simon Kowald and the team.

Grant provided good, well considered recommendations to prepare the property for sale and throughout the campaign we were given regular updates. Grant's clear, concise communication carried over to the diverse demographic range of potential buyers with ease and we had an incredible turn out on the day of the auction. The result we achieved at auction was tremendous, thanks to Grant, Simon and the whole team at Shire. If we were to sell again, we would without question make the same decision and go with the same team of professionals. Read More
Simon recently helped us sell our house in Kellyville (the second property Simon has sold for us). We had been speaking with Simon about selling for a while as we were unsure about whether we really wanted to move or not. Simon was very patient along the way going out of his way to meet with us and learn about our situation. When we eventually made the decision to sell Simon was our only choice. Simon helped us through the private treaty or auction choice, he helped us get the house ready for sale with excellent advice and access to people like stylists, photographers and even someone to replace fences! He kept us fully informed about the progress along the way and helped to keep us energised and motivated for open homes. Through his agency and with his campaign, we had huge interest in the property and a healthy number of registered bidders on the day. The house sold at auction for an outstanding price to a lovely young family. We couldn't be happier. A fitting end to a 22 year stay in our house! Thanks very much Simon! Read More

With continuing professional determination despite the periods of frustrating silence from the market, Simon dealt with falling prices, media negativity and buyer community uncertainty & hesitancy to obtain for me what I believe is a very solid price in these times. He kept me fully informed always and gave me realistic advice. At no time did I feel I was being pushed in any particular direction other than what was best for me. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Simon to help you achieve a similar result.
Simon was ably supported by Luke Browning from the Shire team. Read More

We chose Simon as our selling agent after multiple conversations with different well-known agents in our area and it proved to be a wise choice.
Engaging with Simon to navigate the sale of our property was a pleasure: He took time to share his knowledge, walk us through the process and discuss options, and most importantly gave us valuable practical advice to navigate the current cold market.
His thorough knowledge of the area and the property market, along with his professionalism was an assurance that we had the right person to represent us in the sale. We were kept up to date every step of the way, and
when finally the sale was over, Simon went out of his way to help us with buying our new house.
We would highly recommend her services to anyone. Read More
Simon and team were extremely professional and went over and above to help us sell our old home and purchase our dream home. So grateful. Details
Simon is the most personable agent I’ve met. Always punctual & with a big smile, interaction with Simon feels more like time with a friend. He is a highly professional communicator who provides exceptional honesty & complete transparency throughout the process. His motivation is clearly to help find the most suitable home & his extensive knowledge of the district helped us find the best area for us. Simon sets himself apart by being among the most genuine people in the industry and he will certainly be my go-to guy for any future buying or selling. Read More
This was our family home of over 40 years so it was quite important to us to not only to get a deal worthy of this significance but also to make it an experience that was pleasant. Simon gave us both.
Simons knowledge and experience was really eye opening and unlike the other agents we were initially considering, it never felt like he was trying to sell somthing to us, rather a friendly chat about how he could assist us on achieving what we wanted. This alleviated any pressure or obligation to choose him which ensured we made the right decision and we certainly did that.
My favourite part of this was Simon's communication and availability. Even if there was nothing new to discuss he would call to see if we had any questions or needed anything. Couple this with the fact Simon did not once promise somthing he could not deliver and you will get a fair idea on why we are very glad to have had found him to guide us through this usually nerve racking experience.
When the auction came around we got to witness him in action and the only way I can really summarise what I saw was, it was like Simon was selling his own home. The effort to work that auction and liaise constantly with the potential buyers to ensure we got what we wanted was clinical and professional in a respectful manner and he really made the auctioneers job easier too.
He even called us up a couple weeks after we had sold our home just becasue we had spoken so much during the process, he wanted to touch base and just say hello. Class.
In closing I would reccomend Simon to anyone wanting the same experience as us as in an industry full of sales, unfulfilled promises and sweet talking agents out to get their commission and move on to the next sale, Simon is a breath of honest fresh air. Read More
Simon is a great realtor, he is always polite and knows his business. He is very knowlegeable, accessible and communicates clearly, making the process easy.

My late husband and my first experience purchasing an apartment with Simon’s help was over 11 years ago. He didn’t push us, but just let us look around at our own pace but was close by to answer any questions we had. It was completely stress free. When I sold my last home recently I knew that Simon was the only one I wanted to help me sell. I’m so grateful to him, he went to so much trouble for me and the result was outstanding. He is such a wonderful young man, honest and reliable. So having first bought and now having recently sold with a Simon’s help, I hold him in the highest regard. His knowledge and skill as a real estate agent is outstanding.

Simon has exceed our expectations!!! What a professional yet very approachable and experienced guy. Simon’s knowledge and no nonsense approach made selling our home such a pleasant and stress free experience.
Less then 1 week on the market and well above our goal price . We would highly recommend Simon and his team. Thank you Simon Read More
Simon was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are so pleased we chose him to sell our apartment. He was able to sell property at a price that far exceeded even our most optimistic estimates, and this was after only one open home!
When we first met Simon we were very open about not being overly committed/ready sell, and we were more just trying to see what the processes and costs involved might be. This did not deter simon from spending over an hour with us to talk us through the sale process as well as walking through our apartment and providing valuable feedback which would assist with extracting maximum value out of our property.
Simon presents extremely well and is very knowledgeable. He has an inherent ability to make you feel comfortable and forms a relationship of trust.
Most importantly there are no games with Simon. In every conversation with Simon you can tell that what he is saying is honest and genuine - unfortunately a rare trait amongst most real estate agents.
Further, Simon continues to assist us in our search for the next property, even when the listing's are not his, or not even with his agency.
I can whole heartedly endorse Simon as an agent who genuinely loves what he does and will make the sale of your property a pleasant and relatively stress free experience. Read More
Simon can be best described as; highly professional, incredibly dedicated and responsive, very experienced, knowledgable and transparent.
However what we respected most about Simon, was how he was so personable in his dealings, bringing care and compassion to the sale of our property.
As our first purchase to enter into the market, selling this property was an emotional, yet inevitable experience for our growing family. Simon made us feel at ease the entire time with his sincerity and respectfulness. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was honest with his approach as well as his advice as if the property he was selling were his own.
Not only did he sell the property, but he also went out of his way to assist us in finding our new family home.
Simon is not an agent who is driven by personal gain, he works for the best interest of his clients as well as the prospective buyer.
We highly recommend Simon, and would absolutely call upon him again in the future. Read More
My husband and I had great experience with Simon.
We were recommended Simon by someone else who said "Simon will sell it for you fast" and he did, within a week for price above our expectations.
He told us what we needed to do to sell it faster and he showed us the true value of our land which was more than we thought.
From our first meeting with Simon we felt at ease with him, he had a very calming and pleasant demeanor and didn't have to oversell himself, we also knew potential buyers would feel at easy with him.
I would recommend Simon to anyone who needs an honest, hardworking and conscientious real estate agent. Read More
I am sure Simon has obtained the best price for his customers, but on the opposite side, my own experience with Simon has been very good with quick, clear communication, an easy to deal with attitude, and many examples of going above and beyond to assist with the sale and helping out with some little things to make the move go smoother like taking measurements and so on which make a huge difference.
Would definitely consider using Simon myself for any future property transactions. Read More
Simon has made every aspect of purchasing my first property incredibly easy! He has gone above and beyond what is expected and has shown compassion and professionalism in all of our correspondence. Simon's patience with answering all of my questions in detail has been much appreciated.
I could not recommend Simon enough as he is by far the best agent I have encountered. I look forward to working with Simon when it is time to sell this property.
Simon, thank you for your compassion, honesty and integrity. Read More

I sold my property through Grant McEnally who was supported by Simon Kowald and the team at Guardian Realty. We listened to Grants advice, which was to paint the property internally, get the property styled and take professional photos. This advice exceeded our expectations with the result that was achieved. The whole team at Guardian had a very professional approach throughout the campaign. Throughout the process, Grant, Simon and the team made our decision making seamless and we were given regular updates regarding our property. If you are thinking of selling, the man for the job is Grant McEnally at Guardian Realty Castle Hill. Read More

We sold our property with Grant leading the charge. Grant was supported by Simon Kowald and the team. We interviewed a total of 5 well known real estate agents in the local area and Grant left us with the strongest overall impression of local knowledge, confidence in expectation, professional approach and clear consistent communication. Grant provided good, well considered recommendations to prepare the property for sale and throughout the campaign we were given regular updates. Grant's clear, concise communication carried over to the diverse demographic range of potential buyers with ease and we had an incredible turn out on the day of the auction. The result we achieved at auction was tremendous, thanks to Grant, Simon and the whole team at Shire. If we were to sell again, we would without question make the same decision and go with the same team of professionals. Read More
Simon recently helped us sell our house in Kellyville (the second property Simon has sold for us). We had been speaking with Simon about selling for a while as we were unsure about whether we really wanted to move or not. Simon was very patient along the way going out of his way to meet with us and learn about our situation. When we eventually made the decision to sell Simon was our only choice. Simon helped us through the private treaty or auction choice, he helped us get the house ready for sale with excellent advice and access to people like stylists, photographers and even someone to replace fences! He kept us fully informed about the progress along the way and helped to keep us energised and motivated for open homes. Through his agency and with his campaign, we had huge interest in the property and a healthy number of registered bidders on the day. The house sold at auction for an outstanding price to a lovely young family. We couldn't be happier. A fitting end to a 22 year stay in our house! Thanks very much Simon! Read More

At our first meeting, he invited us to ‘enjoy the process’ of selling - and indeed we have! They are ‘the nice guys’ of real estate - genuine, honest, trustworthy, professional and incredibly good at what they do! Read More

Simon has shown his professional on his work. He was helpful on answering all the questions I asked and quickly responded on every problem appeared. We are really appreciated Details
With continuing professional determination despite the periods of frustrating silence from the market, Simon dealt with falling prices, media negativity and buyer community uncertainty & hesitancy to obtain for me what I believe is a very solid price in these times. He kept me fully informed always and gave me realistic advice. At no time did I feel I was being pushed in any particular direction other than what was best for me. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Simon to help you achieve a similar result.
Simon was ably supported by Luke Browning from the Shire team. Read More
We were very pleased that we had Simon as our agent. He was always very honest and kept us informed every step of the way.

In my opinion, Simon Kowald is an outstanding real estate agent! Read More
We chose Simon as our selling agent after multiple conversations with different well-known agents in our area and it proved to be a wise choice.
Engaging with Simon to navigate the sale of our property was a pleasure: He took time to share his knowledge, walk us through the process and discuss options, and most importantly gave us valuable practical advice to navigate the current cold market.
His thorough knowledge of the area and the property market, along with his professionalism was an assurance that we had the right person to represent us in the sale. We were kept up to date every step of the way, and
when finally the sale was over, Simon went out of his way to help us with buying our new house.
We would highly recommend her services to anyone. Read More
Simon and team were extremely professional and went over and above to help us sell our old home and purchase our dream home. So grateful. Details
Simon is the most personable agent I’ve met. Always punctual & with a big smile, interaction with Simon feels more like time with a friend. He is a highly professional communicator who provides exceptional honesty & complete transparency throughout the process. His motivation is clearly to help find the most suitable home & his extensive knowledge of the district helped us find the best area for us. Simon sets himself apart by being among the most genuine people in the industry and he will certainly be my go-to guy for any future buying or selling. Read More
This was our family home of over 40 years so it was quite important to us to not only to get a deal worthy of this significance but also to make it an experience that was pleasant. Simon gave us both.
Simons knowledge and experience was really eye opening and unlike the other agents we were initially considering, it never felt like he was trying to sell somthing to us, rather a friendly chat about how he could assist us on achieving what we wanted. This alleviated any pressure or obligation to choose him which ensured we made the right decision and we certainly did that.
My favourite part of this was Simon's communication and availability. Even if there was nothing new to discuss he would call to see if we had any questions or needed anything. Couple this with the fact Simon did not once promise somthing he could not deliver and you will get a fair idea on why we are very glad to have had found him to guide us through this usually nerve racking experience.
When the auction came around we got to witness him in action and the only way I can really summarise what I saw was, it was like Simon was selling his own home. The effort to work that auction and liaise constantly with the potential buyers to ensure we got what we wanted was clinical and professional in a respectful manner and he really made the auctioneers job easier too.
He even called us up a couple weeks after we had sold our home just becasue we had spoken so much during the process, he wanted to touch base and just say hello. Class.
In closing I would reccomend Simon to anyone wanting the same experience as us as in an industry full of sales, unfulfilled promises and sweet talking agents out to get their commission and move on to the next sale, Simon is a breath of honest fresh air. Read More
Simon is a great realtor, he is always polite and knows his business. He is very knowlegeable, accessible and communicates clearly, making the process easy.

My late husband and my first experience purchasing an apartment with Simon’s help was over 11 years ago. He didn’t push us, but just let us look around at our own pace but was close by to answer any questions we had. It was completely stress free. When I sold my last home recently I knew that Simon was the only one I wanted to help me sell. I’m so grateful to him, he went to so much trouble for me and the result was outstanding. He is such a wonderful young man, honest and reliable. So having first bought and now having recently sold with a Simon’s help, I hold him in the highest regard. His knowledge and skill as a real estate agent is outstanding.

Previous experiences in selling our property had been stressful as the agent applied pressure tactics to lower our expectations based on their evaluations but Simon made the selling process so easy. He is helpful, friendly and builds positive relationships with his clients.
We highly recommend selling or purchasing a home from Simon. Read More
After house hunting across the Hills District for 8 months and dealing with a wide array of real estate agents, we were so fortunate to come across Simon.
From enquiring about the property, the open home and through to the offer process, Simon was so helpful and generous with his time. No questions big or small are too much for Simon, and he is always willing to give you his time, which is so rare from the industry in general.
If you are looking for a trustworthy, reputable, flexible and knowledgeable agent, then we highly recommend Simon to help you buy and sell your home Read More
Where do we start!!! From my first communication with to my last it’s been excellent! As first time buyers Simon as guided us through the process and has always been there at the end of the phone to answer any questions we had. Our first open home with him was a great experience and he even waited longer so my wife who was on way back from work was able to get a look at the property. On that occasion he wasn’t rushing us and when we needed another viewing there wasn’t an issue. For anyone needing an estate agent to either sell or buy a home I strongly advise that you get in touch with Simon, he’s certainly made our experience enjoyable Read More

Simon Kowald is an excellent professional who understands his customer’s emotional side during the purchase. He helped us on every occasion. We did multiple inspections before buying the house and after buying the house. Also, we needed extra settlement period so we could sell off our existing dwelling and he assisted us in getting it done. Without his assistance, we could not buy our home.
Last six months, I have met quite a lot realtors, and I can anyone, whoever is reading my review, Simon is one of the best agents, and his honesty and integrity attracted us the most. We wish him all the best for his future. Read More

He made it a stress free experience through his open, honest and timely communication. It was easy to build rapport and trust with Simon and have some friendly banter along the way which made it an easy and more enjoyable process than we had envisaged at the outset.

Simon was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are so pleased we chose him to sell our apartment. He was able to sell property at a price that far exceeded even our most optimistic estimates, and this was after only one open home!
When we first met Simon we were very open about not being overly committed/ready sell, and we were more just trying to see what the processes and costs involved might be. This did not deter simon from spending over an hour with us to talk us through the sale process as well as walking through our apartment and providing valuable feedback which would assist with extracting maximum value out of our property.
Simon presents extremely well and is very knowledgeable. He has an inherent ability to make you feel comfortable and forms a relationship of trust.
Most importantly there are no games with Simon. In every conversation with Simon you can tell that what he is saying is honest and genuine - unfortunately a rare trait amongst most real estate agents.
Further, Simon continues to assist us in our search for the next property, even when the listing's are not his, or not even with his agency.
I can whole heartedly endorse Simon as an agent who genuinely loves what he does and will make the sale of your property a pleasant and relatively stress free experience. Read More
Simon can be best described as; highly professional, incredibly dedicated and responsive, very experienced, knowledgable and transparent.
However what we respected most about Simon, was how he was so personable in his dealings, bringing care and compassion to the sale of our property.
As our first purchase to enter into the market, selling this property was an emotional, yet inevitable experience for our growing family. Simon made us feel at ease the entire time with his sincerity and respectfulness. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was honest with his approach as well as his advice as if the property he was selling were his own.
Not only did he sell the property, but he also went out of his way to assist us in finding our new family home.
Simon is not an agent who is driven by personal gain, he works for the best interest of his clients as well as the prospective buyer.
We highly recommend Simon, and would absolutely call upon him again in the future. Read More
My husband and I had great experience with Simon.
We were recommended Simon by someone else who said "Simon will sell it for you fast" and he did, within a week for price above our expectations.
He told us what we needed to do to sell it faster and he showed us the true value of our land which was more than we thought.
From our first meeting with Simon we felt at ease with him, he had a very calming and pleasant demeanor and didn't have to oversell himself, we also knew potential buyers would feel at easy with him.
I would recommend Simon to anyone who needs an honest, hardworking and conscientious real estate agent. Read More
I am sure Simon has obtained the best price for his customers, but on the opposite side, my own experience with Simon has been very good with quick, clear communication, an easy to deal with attitude, and many examples of going above and beyond to assist with the sale and helping out with some little things to make the move go smoother like taking measurements and so on which make a huge difference.
Would definitely consider using Simon myself for any future property transactions. Read More
Simon has made every aspect of purchasing my first property incredibly easy! He has gone above and beyond what is expected and has shown compassion and professionalism in all of our correspondence. Simon's patience with answering all of my questions in detail has been much appreciated.
I could not recommend Simon enough as he is by far the best agent I have encountered. I look forward to working with Simon when it is time to sell this property.
Simon, thank you for your compassion, honesty and integrity. Read More
