A small selection of the many testimonials we have received from vendors, buyers, tenants and landlords.

"Over the past fifteen years we have been clients of NSW Real estate. During that time we have purchased properties, sold properties and been involved in the rentaf market. We would recommend this company to any person wishing to get involved in any of these aspects of the property market. The support and personal care afforded by this company extends from Chris Biggs, the principal, to the girls on the reception and includes the sales team with Grant Larsen as the Sales Manager, the rental section with Rhy Pickering as the Manager and the accounts department under Joanne Wilson. Not only does this company support and look after its clients but also the members of the staff and this makes for the friendly atmosphere that is evident when you become involved with any member of this team that never hesitates to go the extra mile."

"Dear Grant, I would like to thank you very much for the efficient and professional job you did selling my property at Mardells Road, Coffs Harbour. I greatly appreciated the thought you gave to the best means to sell the property, and the attention you gave to the succeeding Auction, both prior to it and afterwards. I was amazed at how quickly the property collected interest, and was sold, despite its unusual character. I will not hesitate to recommend your services as you were highly approachable throughout all stages of the promotion and sale, and kept me well-informed of events as they occured."

"Dear Adam, With settlement of my land purchase now complete I am looking forward to building a new home in Kratz Drive. As you know, of all the possible locations in Coffs Harbour, Kratz Drive was my first choice. I want to thank you for your part in successfully bringing about the completion of this transaction. From the outset you played a proactive role and assisted and facilitated wherever possible contributing in many ways to ensure a successful transaction. Thanks for going the extra mile and for providing a professional service throughout. I would be happy to recommend your services to my family, friends and associates."
- Anne Germon

"I thought I should write you a note regarding the excellent service Grant Larsen has given us: settlement is due tomorrow on what has proven to be a challenging property to sell. Grant has now handled three property sales for us: a unit in Arthur Street, two villas in Combine Street and this last – primary residence before moving to Kratz Drive. On each occasion he has been a pleasant professional to work with – and he has gone out of his way to assist us on every occasion with hints as to how we can better prepare and present the property providing valuable advice that we have acted upon. In pricing 112 Combine Street well above market value, we realised we had given Grant a tough assignment: he ran far more than the usual number of showings for the property – and would probably still be doing so had we not taken 10% off our original price. At this lower level he was able to find a buyer within a week or two. In the years we have known him he has never failed to be cheerful obliging and competent he provides valuable feedback after showings and would be the person we would choose to sell this property as and when we make our next move."
- Tim and Eve Colley

"Dear Grant, Now that the sale of my late mother’s property is completed, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent and consistent service from the date of listing through to sale completion and settlement. As executor of my mother’s estate, I have been extremely busy since she passed away, dealing with all aspects of her estate and her personal affairs and I anticipated that the sale of her former home would be the most cumbersome task that I would have to manage. I am pleased to say this was definitely not the case. Thanks to your professional handling of this matter, it required very little effort on my part. Your high level of integrity and your regular and spontaneous progress reports left me in no doubt that I had chosen the best person and agency for this task. I am certainly grateful that you were recommended to me. Thank you for making my job so much easier."

"We are writing to express our appreciation for the work recently carried out by Mr. Grant Larsen during the purchase of 7 Nymboida Close. Grant was at all times courteous, friendly, efficient and honest in all our dealings with him. Even the smallest detail was attended to expeditiously and with good humour. The ladies on the front desk are also always very helpful and friendly and make sure all communication is passed on with out fail. I would thoroughly recommend the services of both Grant Larsen and NSW Real Estate to anyone requiring such services."

"Dear Hilary, Shaun and I would like to thank you and the staff at NSW on the sale of our property at Park Beach. You kept us updated at all times and treated us like family rather than a transaction. We never had to ring to find out what transpired during open days, you or your staff were always on the phone. If you ever come to Sydney with your firm I will endeavor to promote your business practices to all my clients. We know all future vendors will be happy with you. Not just thank you - but love your team"
- Shaun and Anne Carter

"Not only did Grant Larsen of NSW Real Estate sell our home in a very short period of time, he managed to achieve $5,000 over the asking price! What a wonderful result in the very fickle and difficult market for properties priced over $600,000. As we were going through a major upheaval in our lives, his calm and thoroughly professional manner lessened the stress of what could have been another ulcer inducing nightmare. Honest, trustworthy and true to his word….that’s our Grant. As well as being our preferred salesperson, we are proud to call him our friend and highly recommend both him and NSW Real Estate to any prospective buyers and sellers."
- Robyne and Peter Hanrahan

"Dear Grant, This letter is very over due but it is to thank you for the support that you have given to us both in the purchase to the Nautilus properties and the sale of the Unit at Pacific Towers. There is little doubt in our mind that the advice that you have given us has been advantageous to us. Your support both in the past and in the future is very valuable to us and for this and other reasons we would recommend you to anyone that is needing help in any aspect of the property market."

"In 1998 I purchased my first investment property. The two bedroom unit I chose to purchase was in Coffs Harbour NSW. Luckily I chose to purchase the property through NSW Real Estate, as this was when I first met Grant. Grant's professionalism and experience made the rather daunting prospect of purchasing my first investment property a pleasant experience. Grant was always available to provide advice and assistance.I rented this property for eight years and I have nothing but praise for Grant and his team at NSW Real Estate during this period. I never experienced any problems regarding collection of rent or timely maintenance of the unit. In the eight year period that I rented this property the longest break between tenants was less than one week.This year I decided to sell my investment property. Within 48 hours of Grant arranging for it to appear on the real estate market in Coffs Harbour it was sold. During the sale, Grant kept me informed at all times as to what was happening. I also received what I believed to be a reasonable selling price. I cannot recommend highly enough Grant and his team at NSW Real Estate should you be thinking about investing or purchasing property on the NSW North Coast.”

We have found the service provided by you to be extremely professional, yet friendly, helpful and at all times politely dealt with - nothing was too much trouble. We also appreciate the constant communication my email, telephone and mail so that we were always aware of purchaser interest and times of private and open inspections.

"As you know my wife and I recently purchased a 7 unit property through your firm at Auction. The units were immediately reoffered for sale also through yourselves and in addition managed by yourselves through the whole process. I am writing to express my appreciation of all aspects of our association throughout this venture. In particular to yourself who handled both our introduction to the property and resale of all units-achieved in a period of approximately 7 months. You are a personable Agent who provided a very professional and competent service. I found you accurate in your assessments, very reliable and efficient. You made the whole exercise not only rewarding but also a pleasant one."

"Dear Grant, Your advertisements in both the local newspaper and N.S.W. Real Estate Internet site were extremely eye-catching, informative, and nothing short of excellent. You displayed a high level of commitment and courtesy during the entire process, from the time we listed our property with you, through until it was sold on auction day. Your friendly, personable nature made it both an enjoyable and rewarding experience."
- Paul & Bronny Waters

"I cannot thank you and your staff enough for your help and support during my recent purchase. Any questions I had were answered promptly, this was appreciated grately as anyone will know, living in Sydney and dealing with someone 600 kms away can be daunting. You have a very kind and helpful staff and the one point that was I saw as a bonus was the offer of your customer care. This offer I feel is unique and very much appreciated. To all your staff, my sincere congratulations on a job well done."
- Brian Caundle

"We were delighted with your performance in all respects. We found you to be most professional in the valuation of our property and your advice on all matters regarding preparation for sale was invaluable. Your outgoing nature, unfailing courtesy and frankness were very much appreciated by us and the eventual purchasers. We were also very pleased at the common sense and cool head you demonstrated during negotiations for sale with prospective purchasers. Perhaps the things which pleased us most were that we were able to sell our house after just one open day, at very close to our asking price, on terms of settlement that were most advantageous to us. This was due in no small part to your sound advice, negotiating skills and extensive client base. It is no exaggeration to state that we found the sale of our house a surprisingly easy and pleasant experience, thanks to N.S.W. Real Estate."
