Testimonials
From start to finish Joe was professional, thorough, and kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This is our second sale with Joe, and we can’t praise him highly enough.
The whole process from start to finish was excellent. George and his colleague Joe provided professional expertise and advice throughout which meant that realistic expectations were set and met. Selling a house can be a nerve-wracking experience, but George and Joe were always sensitive to my needs and concerns and a great working relationship was established from the outset. My house sold quickly for a great price, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks to George and Joe.
Outstanding agent! Joe went the extra mile to look after us in every aspect of the sale process. He attended to every detail, was prompt and helpful in all our communications with him and his advice and presentation of our property was excellent. He was very professional in all he did! We would certainly use Joe again and highly recommend him to others.
A supportive, encouraging and patient agent! We dealt with Joe in the recent sale of our property at Hamilton South. Throughout the process he was always keeping in contact making sure we knew what was happening and anything we should be doing to help the sale. He was never pushy or overbearing, but always offered a genuine opinion about our situation. We were really appreciative of how patient he was with us throughout the process and how enthusiastic he was as well, it really helped when there weren’t immediate results.
My experience of selling our house via George Rafty and his team, especially Joe Olsen & Bridget Shepherd has been nothing less than perfect. It is rare to deal with a business that far exceeds expectations. From the initial contact with GR where he explained our options, to agreeing on a plan and contracting to sell, through the preparation and marketing where J proved to be an excellent and timely communicator it was a seamless, pleasant, and efficient experience. 5 stars is not enough!!!
Joe is enthusiastic, hard working and a great communicator. He was never too busy too talk and always kept me in the loop. I relied on his knowledge, experience and confidence and am thrilled with the outcome. I will gladly recommend him to all my family and friends.
We are very happy sellers! Joe had an offer after the first open house and negotiated an acceptable price for our property. We highly recommend.
