• A Young But Professional & Pleasant Member of the Dowling Cessnock Team

  Sarah was an informative and friendly agent to work with and flexible in managing the delays the festive season caused to the settlement date. Her communication was clear and effective and invariably her response to my emails and calls were prompt. Sarah was also mindful of the fact that it was first property purchase and understanding of the odd anxiety I was feeling about the acquisition.

  I would recommend Sarah as an Agent.

• Joanne Richley

  Joanne achieved the price that I wanted for my house in Cessnock, in a very short space of time. We tested the market by asking a price a little higher (perhaps $15,000) more than what other agents had been quoting. A price that was also achievable and not "out of reality" with buyer expectation. Her positive attitude and sense of humour and willingness to listen to my concerns is very refreshing and made working with her a great experience. A great knowledge of the local market. A very positive outcome.

2/8 Robinia Way Cessnock

• Happy Customer, No Hassles

  Very happy with the agency. Quick, easy no hassles throughout the whole process, we had a response with 20 minutes once we made an offer. Everything was dealt with straight away. Don't have any complaints, very happy with the service but the only thing I would say is that needed improvement was the advertisement photo's, they were very poor quality, dark and not enough photo of the inside of the property, the photos didn't do it any justice but because the photos we not that great we were very surprised and happy once we viewed the property as it was 100 times better than the photos. But that is a very small thing and was more than happy with the services. Thank you very much to Dowling Realty for your friendly services in buying our new home.

• Julie Bennett is Just Not An Agent, She Is an Understanding Person Who Understand People's Names

  Julie Bennett would have to be one of the most caring Agents I have ever met I have dealt with a few agents in my time all over Australia but I have never met a person with so much care and commitment to her work but most of all her understanding others. I would recommend her to anybody that was in need of an agent in purchasing a house she is one hell of a lady who is committed to a job and committed to the people that she deals with.

  Thank you

• Very accommodating

   Good knowledge of the house and any information that wasn't known was found out and passed along to me. Excellent communication! Any phone call that was missed by her from was returned almost straight away if not picked up first call which was most the time 

  Egan Aglio - Buyer

  
  

27 Macquarie Avenue Cessnock

• Very satisfied

  We were looking around Cessnock to see whether we would invest in a property. We went in to a few agencies to ask about properties they had advertised in the window. The staff informed us that the property we were interested in had been sold, but didn't get a sales person to speak to us, or ask what our investment parameters were. When we went in to Julie's agency, she was very knowledgeable about the different properties she had available, what would fit within our interest and investment approach, and suggested a number of options. Julie made a time for us to view one property and her approach to discussing the merits of the property made it clear she is an agent with integrity. We ended up buying one of the properties suggested by Julie because she was able to identify what would work for us and point us in the right direction. (There was no real negotiation to be done on purchase price, because the vendors knew exactly what they wanted. Julie told us straight up that they would not be prepared to negotiate a lower price.) We would definitely see Julie again if we were looking at buying in Cessnock.

  Julie was fantastic. Nothing to much trouble for her in our search to find the right property and negotiate a price that would work for us as purchasers and also for the vendor.

• Good Vibes

  Joanne was so enthusiastic and genuinely pleased with the house she marketed and sold for my mum.  She knows her market. We were very, very pleased with the outcome and the price achieved was $20,000 more than three other agents who appraised mum's house. Joanne matched the lowest commission rate and did not charge extra fees for advertising. Mum's home sold in a week and had three buyers wanting it a first open house exactly as Jo predicted. 

  Great result.
