What our people say about us

Highly recommended

John is professional, efficient, and a great communicator. He kept us informed throughout the whole selling process and sold our house in just 7 days. We highly recommend John and his team at Blackwood Valley Real Estate.

Clear and straightforward, no monkey business

Our experience was great, John was clear in advice, direction and follow through.

Excellent service and local knowledge

John was great. Honest with his opinions and so helpful with his local knowledge. Assisted us with our need for contractors and made the sale process smooth and seamless. Cannot recommend John enough. Belinda.

Very good communication and professional

John was helpful, showed us a home for sale and let us look around without any pressure. We mentioned that we missed out on a block several months before and as it happened it was on the market again. We looked over the block and returned to John’s office and made an offer which was accepted quickly and has now settled. I only wish we had accepted John’s usual Settlement agent as we had a few issues with who we chose.

A very professional and honest agent

We sold a property in Bridgetown with John Pitman as our agent. We were very happy with the job John did and have since recommended him to other people who were looking to sell in the area. John is very experienced and knowledgeable about real estate in general and properties in Bridgetown in particular. He has a great understanding of how to best market a property for sale. We felt very comfortable that John had our best interests at heart during the marketing and sale of our property. John kept us informed of the interest in our property and made himself available to the prospective purchasers at short notice. The sale of our property went through in a very short time. We were extremely pleased with the price John achieved and I believe the purchasers were also very happy. To me that is a great result due in no small part to John’s efforts. We are only too happy to recommend John Pitman to anyone wishing to sell a property in the Bridgetown area.

What you see is what you get with Anne, she's one of the rare ones - a real gem!

We are very grateful to you Anne, thank you!

Sales masterpiece

Having bought and sold several properties in my time I can assert that Donna Read is the most accomplished Sales Agent I have ever worked with. From the moment I raised the prospect of 'selling' our property she proceeded with an obligation free assessment of the property. Within days we had agreed a value and sales plan pending the completion of maintenance repairs to the property. Once we had the presentation in order Donna listed, received 3 offers, and sold it within a week. Donna would be a major asset to her employer and will be a high-end achiever in the realm of Real Estate in her career. It was an absolute privilege to deal with such an accomplished professional. Thank you, Donna, job well done!

Helpful and efficient

Donna is an excellent agent. She is professional and responds to enquiries promptly and listens to your requirements. She really went above and beyond for us, as we don’t live locally and helped organise tradesmen to carry out essential repairs. Donna is also friendly and approachable and has excellent knowledge of the market in her area. She will be my go to person when we sell or purchase another property.

Always there for you

Anne always has her client's best interests at heart. Quick to respond and act on any challenges during the selling process. Friendly, caring and highly recommend.

Johns knowledge of the region is comprehensive and his attitude of service to his client makes any transaction with him enjoyable. Thanks John.

Anne was knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with

Anne patiently took me through the process of selling the property. Explained the offer and acceptance form to me. Explained the process and my responsibilities . An offer was made within a week and excepted with Anne keeping me informed althrough the process until settlement date. Anne made what could have been a stressful time easy to manage.

Block success

Although it took some months to sell, Anne was able to secure a full price offer with a 21 day settlement. She kept me fully informed at all times and made the transaction easy with her caring and professional approach. A great result!

Six stars for this sale

Anne really earned her commission on this one as it was a complicated sale from the beginning dealing with subject sales one of which involved a property overseas. Anne handled all parties with her calm and professional approach and guided the sale to a successful conclusion after many months.

Outstanding service well beyond expected

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!

Sharon has been managing our property for 8 years

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.

John seemed to know intuitively what I wanted

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!
