When we bought our home through Joanne, we felt she was very helpful, gave us very good advice and was very professional. Therefore, when we came to sell our home, it was obvious who we would get to do the marketing and sell for us. We sold our home just as the market was dropping. There were more houses than buyers in the market and things were looking grim for people selling and hard work for the agents. Joanne as usual did a great job and SOLD for us • Name Supplied: Joanne has been an absolute delight to work with during the sale of my home. Contributing key elements such as excellent communication, the ability to really listen and the heart to go above and beyond in giving personal attention to detail. The knowledge that my home was in reliable hands resulted in greater confidence for a positive outcome. I highly recommend Joanne as ‘the consummate professional’ for her ability to get the job done whilst tailoring current property services to specific requirements of clients. • Veren: Thanks again for the gorgeous flowers – they were amazing. In fact, you are amazing! I am so grateful that you were by my side this whole way through. Thanks for giving me tips, a building inspector, a lawyer, not to mention lots of cheek! I really needed someone I could trust and there you appeared! • Alicia Joanne, you were an unbelievable agent and worked your tail off for us. I thank you sincerely for your efforts and if you were in Perth, I’d take you out to lunch! • Robyn and Pat: Thank you for your professional and caring attitude regarding the sale of our home. We really appreciated your constant updates, encouragement, enthusiasm and optimism. The stress levels were certainly “up there” at times for us but you mostly managed to reassure and placate. • Julie and Noel: Joanne has to be the best real estate agent we have ever had and we have had a few… Not just because the house happened to pull the right buyer at the first viewing, but that she was a loyal and dedicated real estate agent continuing to promote our property and worked very hard behind the scenes to pursue other interested parties in order to create competition. A very highly motivated sales person and is a credit to her company. • S.M.B.: Joanne has been an excellent marketing agent. I have never before attended an auction – this was my very first – the auctioneer was particularly good at advising me and guiding me on the whole auction process. Joanne made this experience an excellent one and is to be recommended. • Regan: I found Joanne fully committed and full of enthusiasm, Joanne used her contacts and lists of buyers to show our home to as many potential buyers as possible. I have no hesitation in recommending Joanne to anyone wishing to list their property. • Steve: Joanne has been an absolute delight to work with during the sale of my home, contributing key elements such as excellent communication, the ability to really listen, and the heart to go above and beyond in giving personal attention to detail. The knowledge that my home was in reliable hands resulted in a greater confidence for a positive outcome. I highly recommend Joanne as 'the consummate professional' for her ability to get the job done whilst tailoring current property services to the specific requirements of clients. For me personally, I was hesitant at first to commit to 3 months and provided her with a 'test' month only, to ensure I was happy with the sale process. Within a week, I could see she had put the 'hard-yards' in and happily extended. A sale was duly achieved in a totally unstressed manner. Joanne succeeded where a previous 'high-profile' agency failed. I have learnt that achieving a sale is about putting your house in the hands of someone who is prepared to go the full distance to achieve a sale. Joanne definitely falls under this category, and I would use her services again without hesitation. • Barry and Raewynne: We cannot speak highly enough of the manner in which Joanne Buxton handled the sale of our property. The sensitivity she showed in many difficult circumstances during the process of marketing and selling our home will always be remembered by us with gratitude. Joanne, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone selling or purchasing in the future. Thank you for all your efforts.
