Testimonials

I chose John to sell my property in Balingup because of his professional approach to every aspect of the process. His local knowledge is invaluable when selling in a country setting. My property was sold on the first viewing weekend and I attribute this to John's skills in real estate.

Anne Bartz from Blackwood Valley Real Estate did an outstanding job selling and helping us buy another property, nothing was too much trouble for her. Anne managed to find us a buyer who was willing to rent it back to us until we moved. After a few discussions with her regarding the purchase of another property she seemed to know exactly what we were looking for.
Within a couple of weeks Anne had found the perfect house for us.
I would recommend Anne to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying.

Being stuck overseas due to COVID restrictions required us to engage an agent that was willing to take care of everything we would normally do when in the country.
Anne was recommended by us and without hesitation she took on the substantial task of what was needed to get the house up to scratch.
Consequently the house was sold within a day of being ready for inspection, outstanding!

Anne was very knowledge having being in the real estate business for many years. Anne had all the right responses and was always very reassuring if I had any worries. A very professional caring lady. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and did recommend to a couple of potential customers.

Anne was marvelous during the recent sale of our house. Always quick to respond and deal with any issues, she brings her knowledge, kindliness and integrity to make what is often a very-stressful experience into an absolute breeze. We appreciated her very timely and though feedback and highly recommend Anne to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Recently purchase a property via John, and happy to report an excellent process/experience from him and his team. He was diligent, professional and through but most of all he achieved what I like to call the SWYSYWD factor (do what you say you will do).

John seemed to know intuitively what I wanted and needed in a property and showed me what turned out to be the perfect one for me. He was in no way pushy, leaving me to look at the property in my own time, offering advice only when I asked for it. Through the buying process he was patient and always available to answer questions and organize inspections and anything needed. I really did not have t think of anything, he took me through the whole process in a very easy and painless way!

We recently used Anne to purchase and sell a property. Throughout both experiences the representation was extremely transparent an ethical.
Ann regularly communicated with us and was always available to answer our questions.

Thank you so much to both of you, it was a pleasure working with you.

Nothing was too much or too hard for Alison! She seriously went the extra mile!

She immediately saw the positive features of my property and the possibilities it offered. She saw what needed to be done and responded with solutions that took the pressure off and made the whole experience a surprisingly positive one!

Her response times were impeccable and her attitude was kind, open, interested, patient and gentle.

Simply a delight to work with.

We brought our 6 acre lock through Alison. We found here very pleasant to deal with and at every stage Alison kept us up to date with what was going on, when titles were due etc. Alison answered all question we raised and got back to us information we asked for in a timely manner from the developer and Bridgetown council.

Alison went beyond and beyond in helping us find our property. Alison was available whenever we needed answers. She was professional and friendly. Thank you Alison for helping us to navigate the minefield of purchasing our property.

Thankyou for the lovely review. It was fantastic to be able to find just the right property for your family

Alison was very professional in dealing with us. She answered questions that we asked or got back to us as soon as she could.

Kept us uninformed on the offer and acceptance and also allowed us to inspect the property again when requested it.

Thankyou Wendy, it was a pleasure working with you! I'm so glad you were happy with my service.

I recently purchased my new property in Bridgetown from Alison Rutten at Blackwood Valley Real Estate and I could not have been happier with experience! Alison and the BVRE team went above and beyond any real estate service I have ever known. Alison was both friendly and professional, nothing was too much to ask of her and she made the whole experience easy and pleasure. I highly recommend both Alison and BVRE. I'm a very hapy customer!

Alison would be the most efficient, punctual and polite real estate agent we have had the pleasure of dealing with, at the same time being fully aware of the local market.

We wish Alison well in her chosen career.

Thank you Liz, it was a pleasure working with you both!

Sharon has been managing our property for 8 years. She's always getting repairs & maintenance done quickly, as well as regular rental inspections with photos emailed to us on the day. We've had 2 tenants over this period & as soon as 1st one left next one was in with no loss of rentals for us. Financial documents are emailed to us along with income deposited to our account, on time every time. Now we're renting a property through her for while & she's been just as helpful to us as tenants. Overall, you won't get a better property manager than Sharon.

Our property manager Sharon is brilliant.
Nothing is ever too much trouble, she's quick to sort out any issues with the property. Always finds us great tenants that are suited to our needs. She's always happy and manages to keep a sense of humour!
