Real Estate with Integrity

Simon and his team at Shire Realty have gone far beyond our expectation when we sold our family home of 20 years. He is genuine and upholds his integrity, while working for the best interest of his client. His advice, patient explanation of the auction process and continued support were greatly appreciated throughout this process which ended in an incredible result with a price well above our expectations. Simon was staunchly loyal and respectful of our feelings towards our home, shown in his tasteful marketing. I cannot recommend Simon and his team highly enough.

Highly recommend Grant to anyone looking!

I met with 3 Real Estates companies to choose, the right Agent, to sell a property in Castle Hill.

When I met with Grant from Shire Realty, I knew he was the most favourable that I could work with.

He was calm, not pushy and honest, which I needed, as a Woman in my Senior years.

Grant kept me advised and up to date at all times.

I felt confident with his approach in selling the property, which he did successfully.

I would thoroughly recommend Grant to anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent. Read More

Testimonial from John
Determined to succeed for me in a difficult environment

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

proved to be a wise choice

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

Testimonial from Andy Papasavvas
It was like Simon was selling his own house, that's what it felt like.

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

A whole lot more than we expected

I wasn't expecting Luke and his team to do so much for us. They correctly advised on what we need to do to prepare the property for sale and gently yet firmly stopped us when we wanted to spend more money than we needed to. They were extremely motivated and professional yet just so much fun to work with. Nothing was too much trouble for the team including them being willing to organise items which were outside their sales tasks. Luke kept us updated daily and talked us through every step. And, obviously the big question - did they achieve the price we wanted?....oh yes!...he exceeded our expectations!! Read More

Selling is a big deal

Selling our family home was a huge decision and partnering with the right agent was very important. We chose Grant as our agent not only based on his impressive career, but importantly for the instant connection and rapport he built with us. Grant is a genuine, straight to the point professional with a considerate manner. We have built an open and honest relationship with Grant and his team. Integrity is at Grant’s core and this is evident through the quality connections he is able to share within the industry from Conveyancers to Auctioneers, and how they work together. Grant ensured we were kept well informed across the entire process and was very supportive on Auction day, which should not be underestimated… it is one of the most anxious times in your life! Having the right advice, without being pushy, is priceless. Our review of working with Grant would not be complete without a special shout out to Katia, who is fantastic. We highly recommend Grant to any vendor looking for a down to earth, hardworking and honest agent. Read More

We’ve been in contact with Grant for a couple of years whilst we were looking for a place for our growing family. We instantly gravitated towards his down to earth nature when we were the buyer and it was a no brainer that we go with Grant when we put our own place up for sale. Grant is open, diligent, trustworthy and a really genuine bloke - who doesn’t do the sales hype that other agents do. He cares about the best outcome for his buyers and sellers and this comes through in how he operates.

Highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling or buying. Read More

Simon's key strength is his top notch communication skills. He was never more than a phone call or a text message away and from start to finish, he kept us updated about developments. He was always accessible to discuss our own thoughts but also offered suggestions and an analysis of possible scenarios to consider (which we valued greatly, given we are not in the real estate industry).

Professional, Works hard to liaise between vendor and purchaser

We recently purchased a property at Auction that was sold by Grant. Since we saw the property the day before the auction, Grant ensured that we had an opportunity for a private viewing of said property before auction day. Grant highlighted all the features of the home, the location and value of the home. Grant worked hard to liaise with the vendor regarding our settlement date and get them approved prior to the auction.

I would definitely consider him for selling my property as he works hard for the vendor in getting a price above market value for the vendor. Read More

Excellent Real Estate Sale experience!

We have bought and sold a number of properties over the last few decades but we have never experienced the level of professionalism, energy, knowledge and communication skills that Sam brought to us!

From our first interview with them, through the listing process, open homes and ultimately a very satisfactory sale before auction, Sam provided calm, professional advice with excellent knowledge and an open mind regarding our suggestions and expectations. We could not recommend Sam, Luke and the Shire Realty team more highly! Read More

Best Agent in the Hills District!

Thank you so much Simon for all your hard work to get us a remarkable result you have exceeded our expectation. Throughout the process you were patient, always available, positive, hardworking, with a can-do attitude and always striving for excellence. So glad our paths crossed when we first started in the property market purchasing our first home 2 years ago and now selling and appointing you as our agent. You have always proven honest, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. By far you are the best agent we have come across in the Hills District. Read More

Most genuine person, it was easy to trust Trevelyan and he got more for us than we expected.

Trevelyan inspected our home and showed us the comparison of where our home belonged in the market. His professionalism with the way he handled our sale makes him an asset to your company. He updated us on all sales around our area regularly and helped us in many ways including tradies to fix things around the house, find a new property, even finance... He never gave us an unrealistic figure but we got more than what we expected. To my knowledge, so far we hold our street record. I already recommended Trevelyan to all my neighbours and friends that live in the area, should they consider selling or buying!

With all our hearts...Thank you Trevelyan for all your help! Read More

Grant McEnally, Agent of Choice

Having dealt with Grant on a number of previous occasions he was the agent of choice when selling this property as we knew how professional he is. Grant is honest, reliable and genuine and his vast knowledge of the industry is very evident. He communicated with us on a regular basis, keeping us well informed of the progress of the sale of the property.He even went the extra mile during Covid lockdown keeping plants watered when we were not able to. Our thanks to Grant for a good outcome. Read More

So glad I chose Luke to be my selling Agent

It's always a tough choice deciding which Agent is best to sell your place! There were quite a few to choose from and their offers were all slightly different

But Luke stood out from the rest because of his follow up and willingness to go the extra mile. I wanted someone who could get the best price for me, who was willing to put in the effort.

I chose Luke not based on price but on his follow up skills, tenacity, professionalism and because he was someone I could trust.

He exceeded my expectations and I'm extremely happy with his service.

Would not hesitate to recommend him! Read More

Grant is an outstanding agent to work with. ***** FIVE STAR RATING *****

We have worked with Grant to buy and sell.

His services are highly recommended, he is the ultimate Real Estate Professional.

We had been looking for a property for over 12 months, and it felt like we had spoken with almost every agent in the area.

Grant differentiated himself and Guardian Realty, he was the single agent that took his time to truly understand our needs, the property type and location we desired, and never pushed us in the process though agent self-motivation.

Over this extended search period, Grant kept in constant communication – even sharing properties on the market which were available through other agents.

Some twelve months into the process, Grant shared a property he knew would absolutely meet our criteria, needless to say - we loved it instantly, and the buying process was impeccably managed by Grant and the team at Shire Realty.

After our purchase, we were delighted to place our property for sale through Grant.

When it came to setting a realistic sale price expectation - Grant was right on the money and crucially we felt it wasn’t over inflated just to secure our property.

Most impressively our sale was achieved before the property hit the open market, at a price within Grants previously set expectations.

We are delighted with the overall experience.

We highly recommend Grant and the team at Shire Realty.

Thank you, Grant!! Read More

Experienced, prompt & a great listener!

Seamless, from start to finish! Luke knows the Hills market and beyond better than any other agent we've spoken to. His expertise of the local area is unrivalled, and certainly paid off for us in the end.

Despite our criteria he secured a perfect buyer for us in no time, and his excellent negotiation skills came in handy through the trickier parts of the sale - getting us an excellent price in the end, above what we expected to achieve. We're confident we wouldn't have gotten such a great outcome through any other professional in the area.

If you're after constant communication, transparency and the best possible sale price, don't sell through anyone else. Thanks so much Luke!! Read More

Professional with the ability to overdeliver

Trevelyan was across every aspect from start to finish. We had a short timeframe to get everything done during a very difficult time (lock down) yet we managed to pull everything together and get on the market fast and smoothly, which would not have been possible without his help. Trevelyan always managed our expectation as was never ‘pushy’, yet he brought us a offer that we were extremely happy with and my family and I will be forever grateful. We could not recommend Trevelyan highly enough! Read More
