Testimonials

To Whom it May concern,

I have taken the time to write this letter due to a very positive experience we have had selling our house.
We were unsure of which real estate & agent to list our property for our best interests.
After meeting Michelle & Chris Kahler from Knobel & Davis we knew they were genuine, open & honest couple.

I would strongly recommend them both as a powerful tool to sell your home.
Not only do they both have knowledge and experience but importantly their teamwork.
You actually have two agents working for your best interests.

I must say it was wonderful to work with them both, they made the whole experience a pleasure and not a chore.

Yours Sincerely

Brad & Sally

WOW ... what an experience !!! I wanted to write this letter for any vendors who are trying to choose an agent to sell their home.

We listed our property for sale with Darrell Johnson from Knobel and Davis Property Services. We had dealt with Darrell when we bought the house 3 years earlier and found him to be very professional and knowledgeable then, so he was the first agent we thought to ring when we decided to put the house on the market. We are located in Melbourne so we put our trust in Darrell to sell our home and communicate with us from a long distance - we were not disappointed. Whether it was the little things he did like touching up paint work, organising tree removal, bringing items from his own home to complete the look of the furnished rooms or anything that he thought would improve the selling chances of the property, he did it all !!!

We have bought and sold a number of properties in Melbourne and have dealt with a number of different agents and we can honestly say that Darrell has been the most professional, trustworthy, and hard working agent we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We know that the market is tough in Queensland at the moment and Darrell pulled out every stop to help sell our home from the moment we listed the property to the moment it sold. We never felt out of the loop - he always contacted us via phone call or e-mail after every open home or inspection and gave us valuable feedback.    

Darrell is that agent that gives just that little bit more and who cares about you and your home - not just collecting his commission (which I can guarantee you will have no problems handing over as you will learn his is well and truly worth it). At the end of all of this, I now count Darrell as not only my agent but also as my friend and I am sure at the end of your experience you will feel the same.

If you think this letter is too good to be true, please don’t hesitate to call me as I would gladly tell you more about our experience in selling our home with Darrell.

Simon is a courteous and thoughtful agent. He found us a buyer when other agents had not succeeded in doing so.

Hi Brett,

A Belated "Thank-You" for your assistance in selling our unit. It was not an easy task, with a number of hurdles along the way. However we were delighted when the sale finally went through. Trying to sell a property "long distance" was never going to be easy, and circumstances beyond your control made it even more difficult than anticipated. We really did appreciate your professionlism, honesty, perseverance, and importantly, your sense of humour throughout the campaign.

Thank you again.

It was a hard lesson trying to sell a house in a tough market however Simon did all he could and he always had out best interests at heart.

Haley & Terry Shield, 07/11/2011

Simon gave us great service, he is a fine young man. He also gave us great assurance and we felt at all times in very capable hands.

He was very professional and we also feel that we have made a friend.

We couldn't be happier!

Simon displays integrity and professionalism throughout the entire campaign of selling our home... not to mention our house was sold at the end of our 4 week auction campaign. 

From day one to the end, his attention to detail, follow ups and his ability to attend to our needs has been exceptional. His genuine nature, honesty and commitment is definitely an asset to both Knobel & Davis and to those selling and buying properties.

Both my wife and I would highly recommend Simon without question to anyone looking to sell. Simon is one of those that goes beyond his call of being an agent and has supported us on a number of occasions; he assisted in our Working Bee one Saturday morning before going to his scheduled house inspections, supported us with furniture needed for a room and assisted with sharing our list of household items for sale.

From day one, he has totally enrolled himself with the vision of our family dream of selling up all and volunteering to the underprivileged around the globe.

The Mouasher family is currently in preparation to travel around the world to help the underprivileged. For more information and to keep track of their amazing journey please visit www.handsacrosslands.com.au

Dear Darrell ... After selecting you and your company Knobel & Davis to handle the sale of my house I can only say that I was fully satisfied with the result in a very tough market.

Your organised and enthusiastic attention to all details were I am sure the reason for the sale.

Again, many thanks for your personal efforts.

Ian Blake,

I first met Darrell when we were looking to purchase a property and inspected one that he had listed. I was immediately impressed with his warm nature and the level of professionalism he displayed.
 
Although we didn’t end up purchasing the property Darrell was selling at the time, when we needed to sell our own residence a year later, I knew Darrell was the man for the job. 
In an extremely tough market when houses were not moving, within 5 days of listing our property with Darrell, he had a signed contract on our table at a price we were extremely happy with.
 
His level of experience and knowledge of the local property market, together with his high level of integrity, personable manner and strong work ethic made Darrell a pleasure to do business with. 
 
I now do not hesitate to recommend Darrell to anyone who is thinking of selling.
 
 

Kara Watson,

 

We just wish to thank you, Michelle and Chris Kahler, for your hard work, patience, & compassion when selling our home.

From day 1 you were both dedicated to achieving a sale, which was our home... that not only WE loved, but so did YOU. Even though the home did have some negative aspects, you were both extremely knowledgeable, and truly excited about the highlights the home had to offer,... which you passed onto your buyer.

We also would like to thank you for the many hours of work you endured, ensuring that the deal was a successful one.

You are both a very relaxed, and pleasurable couple to deal with.

We wish you well in the future in business, and in life.

Kind regards,

John and Ann Maree Ashworth

 

John and Ann Maree Ashworth,

Thank you to Darrell Johnson for his professional handling of our sale.  He was always pleasant and smiling and managed to negotiate a sale with a figure we were happy with. That is some achievement in this market and his quiet but efficient and pleasant manner has a lot to do with it.  I would also like to commend him for the considerate way he managed inspections: we were notified ahead in plenty of time and he came early to ensure the house was ready.  He rang us after each inspection to report on the buyers’ reactions.  At all times he kept us up-to-date on the progress of the sale and we felt very confident in his ability to market our house.  Our thanks once again to him and your office.

Elizabeth & Brian Spencer,

Thanks so much for being a very ethical, kind real-estate agent. Colin and I both agree that there wouldn’t be many like you – explains why you do so well !!!
Thanks for selling our house. If we need to sell again, we will definitely give you a call.
 

Colin & Michelle Jordine,

I would like to congratulate Darrell Johnson on selling my home in such a professional and timely manner.
I had previously engaged the services of two other Real Estate Agents to sell my home before I was referred to Darrell. Both of these Real Estate Agents did nothing but condition me to take a lower price from the minute they listed the property for sale. I noticed with both these Agents that as soon as I signed on the dotted line there were dozens of excuses and reasons why it wasn’t selling.
With Darrell, his experience was clearly demonstrated. I took his advice, did all the marketing he recommended and simply let him do his job.
Darrell was clear, precise and accurate. He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me the truth, so I had no hesitation to list with him. I got my price via his marketing campaign and am very pleased with the service and his whole handling of the sale process.
It goes to show how comfortable I was with him, I am also a Real Estate agent, but felt it best to have an external agent sell it … and sell it he did, in only a few weeks.
If you would like to talk to me about him I would be pleased to do so, and for the record, I would refer him to anyone even if my home had not have sold because he did more than any agent has ever done in all my 24 years in the industry.

Keith Knights,

I have to tell you that after looking at numerous properties in the past week or so (now as a buyer), I have yet to meet an agent as professional and dedicated as you Darrell.  I always knew this was the case but it is interesting to see what is out there.  I have met some very nice people but they don't follow through with enquiries or bother getting back to me - when I almost have money to spend. It has been and continues to be (until we find the right place) a very interesting exercise.

Thanks again for all your hard work in securing our sale. As I said previously, you are an outstanding agent Darrell - professional in every way and there was never any thought to go with another agent, even though I think I could paper the house with all the agent letters we received. We are now looking forward to the next exciting chapter in our lives as we try country living.

I was at a friend’s house for drinks recently and was very happy to recommend you to the gathering as some of them may consider selling also.


 

Judy Vickerman,

We felt it appropriate to thank you sincerely for your guidance and advice in the sale of our property in Carrara and the purchase of a new home in Highland Park.

You conducted both transactions in a highly professional manner with attention to detail, not only in written but also in verbal communication. What we liked most was the fact that you were very straight forward in setting the sale price and we knew exactly where we stood at all times. Your advice regarding marketing methods was refreshing and obviously successful.

Your main attributes are that you are always punctual to return phone and email queries quickly and it is refreshing to find an agent who is totally honest in all your dealings

We would have no hesitation in recommending you and your agency to any future clients.

We wish you well in your future endeavours.

Gail & David Coleman,

I recently sold my property in Surfers Paradise with the real estate expertise of Karl Sebastian. I owned quite a unique property, something that Karl recognized, appreciated and marketed accordingly. The result being a contract in seven days.

Karl’s overall portrayal of my apartment, using both advertising text and his photography, showed a very astute recognition of its qualities, which he then used to target clientele that were best suited for such a  property.

I was particularly appreciative of the direction that Karl offered on how to present for a sale, including a recommendation for a professional valuation… which turned out to be an excellent decision, considering the current market climate.

I found Karl to be dedicated and enthusiastic and really liked his personal attention and focus. My property was special to him as it was to me. In this day and age that counts for a lot. Thank you Karl for making me homeless… you did it in the nicest possible way!

Yvette Chambers,

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Darrell for his wonderful support and his professional handling of the recent sale of our home.
During this very stressful time Darrell was always humanistic, pleasant and supportive to us, offering good communication at all times, his efficient manner was helpful in preparation of inspections, his follow up on the progress of enquiries was appreciated and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to any future potential seller.
 

Sandra Calabretta & Laurie Knighton,

Thank you Tracey Berthold for selling my property. Tracey's professional and caring nature is to be commended. During what was and is a difficult time to sell real estate Tracey's attitude was nothing but positive. Her dedication towards selling my property could of only been rewarded with a sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Tracey to anyone wanting to sell their property.

 

Sarah Clark,

Dear Darrell,

We'd just like to say thanks for all you have done and that we greatly appreciate that you made buying our first house an easy & stress-free process ... we absolutely love the house !!!
