Seller of house in Muckleford
Brett was very assiduous

In selling my house near Castlemaine, Brett was very assiduous. He slogged away from late summer to mid-winter, & remained cheerful & optimistic throughout.

The property was an unusual one, and didn't sell for several months. Brett showed great integrity in not even hinting that I should drop my price. Indeed when I hinted at it, he argued I shouldn't. And he was right.

I've rarely used agents in selling properties, & never thought I'd see the day I'd be recommending one, as I am Brett.

Excellent from start to finish

Wallers were excellent from start to finish- their advice, local knowledge, suggestions and innovation coupled with market knowledge enabled us a price far above our expectation. Their presentation of advertising and media was excellent- Can't thank them enough. We will certainly work with them again!!

Narelle was an absolute pleasure to work with

Narelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is personable, very knowledgeable of the local property market, was always available when we needed and secured us a great price. We’ve had several dealings with Waller Realty and can highly recommend them.

Professionalism and care

I first met Brett when I was purchased a block of land earlier in the year. The amount of professionalism and care that Brett puts into his work is absolutely effortless.

Not only did Brett help me with this purchase, but he also guided me in the right direction to sell my home.

From start to finish, from buying to selling, I had no doubt in my mind that Brett would look after me.

Thank you Brett!

Over the moon!

With anticipated stress of selling it was all for nothing when Tim took over as my agent.

The whole process was so easy. This was from the first inspection to the photos being taken to the listing.

Tim was highly recommended to me and I can see why and I would highly recommend him to anyone, including the whole team at the Waller Realty Bendigo office.

I’m over the moon at the price they achieved and I have no doubt they had my best interest at the forefront not just hoping for another sale.

Vendor, Elphinstone
Selling with Rob was a pleasure!

It was our absolute pleasure to have Rob sell our home for us - we can't recommend him highly enough. We were thrilled for him to achieve above our asking price, and on the first inspection. I don't think there are many people who can accomplish that feat!!
