It's hard to find a Real Estate agent more professional, helpful and knowledgeable! We've sold several properties over the years, never had such comprehensive and courteous service, intelligent and helpful inputs to guide the marketing strategy, and excellent guidance to help with negotiations. His advice on presentation of the property and the information provided to prospective purchasers was spot-on. Selling in this market is difficult, but against all odds, Chester found two well qualified buyers; and we settled on auction day, at a realistic price. He followed up all inquiries from prospective purchasers and kept us very well informed about their circumstances and their appetite to buy. Where there were possible reservations, he worked quickly to provide evidence to reassure them. We were impressed that Chester went the extra mile in his communications and timing, to both us and the purchaser. Always prompt, reliable and well-informed, Chester worked exceptionally hard to get this sale across the line. We are already taking to him about another two properties that we will be looking to sell in future.

We are delighted to provide this commendation for Chester and to express our sincere appreciation for his outstanding professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout our property purchase journey. After spending more than seven months searching for a suitable property and dealing with numerous real estate agents, we had become increasingly discouraged. Unfortunately, our experiences with many agents left us feeling uncomfortable due to sales tactics that often appeared more focused on securing a transaction than genuinely assisting prospective buyers. Our perspective changed when we met Chester. From our very first interaction, he demonstrated a level of professionalism that immediately distinguished him from others in the industry. He was responsive, reliable, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping us achieve our goal of finding the right home. Throughout the process, Mr Duffett consistently displayed exceptional market knowledge, attention to detail, and strong negotiation skills. What impressed us most was his integrity and willingness to go above and beyond to address our questions and concerns. Thanks to his hard work and guidance, we were able to secure a property that we are truly delighted with. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr Chester Duffett to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and highly capable real estate professional. He has demonstrated a level of professionalism and client service that surpasses many individuals with far greater industry experience. His character, work ethic, and genuine commitment to his clients will undoubtedly lead him to continued success. Individuals of his calibre are rare, and any business would be fortunate to have him as part of their team. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank Mr Chester Duffett once again for his exceptional service and support. Yours faithfully, Boyan and Tamara Jankovic

I cannot recommend more strongly - Chester, Steve, and Nila showed their expertise, energy, and charm - at no point did their enthusiasm for the property wain - they were there for us all the way with excellent advice and obvious commitment to delivering a sale. They understood the specific market for our property and when auction day came the eventual sale exceeded our every expectation.

Chester went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our property was very well presented before it went into the market. Throughout the sale campaign, he did not discount any interest in the property and always made time to show people through. Chester made engagement with any potential buyers a priority and with great tenacity secured five offers for us on the set date of sale which led to a successful sale. Throughout the campaign, Chester remained professional and kept us updated on market changes and buyer appetites thus helping us to make more informed decisions.
