Daryl Katz Residential Sales

My friend and I decided to sell our apartment we purchased 15yrs ago, after renting it for 10yrs. I now live in the US and my friend lives locally with his wife and kids. As luck would have it, by the time we refurbished the apartment, we were mid COVID. Daryl was flexible, collaborative and dedicated to working with us to manage the marketing strategy and to get a fair price during this difficult time. Daryl was flexible with calls and emails to account for the time change and was honest about process and price expected. I would work with Daryl again. Read More

Daryl’s experience in real estate was invaluable in guiding us through property renovations, the marketing campaign, and the sale process. He was honest in his advice, responsive in his communication, and always professional. He managed the entire process from start to finish, keeping us updated at every stage. Thanks Daryl! Read More

We owned a home unit in Artarmon that we wanted to sell. The unit hadn't had any improvements for many years and so was in need of attention before it could be presented for sale. We gave the job of overseeing the renovation and then marketing the unit to Daryl Katz because of his knowledge and enthusiasm. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to place our trust in him. Over the course of the renovation and marketing campaign we would have to say that Daryl went above and beyond the call of duty. He arranged contractors, liaised with the strata management people and chased down numerous issues. He never complained and kept us firmly in the loop with regular updates. In the end he ran a successful marketing campaign resulting in a very pleasing result which returned approximately 10% above reserve. We have no hesitation recommending Daryl. Read More

Daryl Katz is an outstanding agent who is driven to achieve the best price for his vendor. I was impressed with his professional and calm manner, his communication and negotiation skills were way above other agents I have dealt with in the past. He is very resilient, a perfectionist, and he kept me informed at every stage of the sales process. I was more than happy with the result and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an honest agent with a great track record! Read More

Daryl has been very easy to communicate with and kept me informed in every step of the sales campaign, from selecting the advertising companies to house inspections and the settlement processes. Daryl always responded to my questions and concerns very quickly and most importantly he knows how to negotiate a good price!

Thanks Daryl! Read More

I am very glad that we went to Daryl to sell my properties. He can listen and care what exactly we wanted to do and I can feel the good connection with my property agent.

Daryl has given us guidance from setting up the price range and through out the whole marketing campaign which went very smoothly.

What I like about Daryl most is that he knew well about every potential buyers and shared with us his professional analysis and strategies and we were consulted and advised to make informed decisions through out the whole process.

The auction results says it all. It was possibly another block record and it was indeed well above our exception and we are truly happy with it!

Thanks Daryl.

Was very impressed with the care, concern and regular contact through all the hoops of an overseas sale. Daryl was there for me every step of the way, even though I live half a world away.

He communicated all my questions and queries with expertise, and his knowledge of this type of sale and all it's complications was extremely reassuring.

I would highly recommend Daryl, as an astute, no nonsense, on top of his game agent, and treated me as if I was the only client he had, and wanted the best outcome for me. It was basically a 6 month process from start to finish, but Daryl and his team, came through for me, and spent many long hours on this long distance sale.

Having never sold a property without being available in person, I was so pleased that for the most part all we needed were emails, faxes, phone calls and the USPS to deliver documents that were a vital part of this sale.

I would highly recommend Daryl and his experience to all of my counterparts without hesitation.

Well done, Daryl, and thank you so much,

Experienced, committed, patient and measured. All of these attributes grossly understate Daryl’s qualities as a partner in our transaction. I cannot recommend Daryl and the team at Shead enough. Throughout the whole process, Daryl and his team addressed my every question within a timely and transparent manner. Daryl’s knowledge of the local market is unrivaled and a testament to his commitment and tenacity. The advice that was imparted to us before and during the campaign was underpinned by someone who has clearly been through all markets and conditions.

Above all other facets, we trusted Daryl. We have no hesitation in recommending his service. Read More

As we are waiting for the settlement, we would like to express our sincere thanks to Daryl Katz of Shead, for his guidance throughout the sales process of our townhouse in Artarmon.

From the outset, we were most impressed by his not overtly "OTT" sales approach. Backed by his extensive knowledge and insight, remarkable efficiency, concise updates, and at all times acted in our best interests, we must say that we were very fortunate to have his direction on our property's renovation, styling and campaign timing and achieved a successful outcome. On the basis of trustworthiness, we would highly recommend his services to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying.

Thanks again and all the best

I once again engaged Daryl Katz to sell a property and highly commend him for the work he did to achieve a very pleasing sale price.

Daryl has worked for many years in the Artarmon area. He has an exceptional handle on the trends and history of property purchasing and selling in the area, an excellent working knowledge of apartment and unit buildings in the area, as well as a very strong knowledge of Artarmon buyers.

Daryl provided me with exceptional and timely advice regarding each stage of the sale, including preparing the property. As I was interstate, he communicated very helpfully - both on the phone and with regular email updates and consulted me appropriately. In addition, he went out of his way to make the practical side of selling work well, including meeting with the stylist and being available to meet me when I was able to visit in person.

Daryl acts with exceptional integrity and working with him again this time for the sale again showed this quality. I opted with Daryl's advice to go to auction. The way he dealt with potential buyers and engaged them towards the auction process is to be highly commended. This involved Daryl's high level negotiation skills to keep potential buyers in the mix in the week leading up to auction and to 'hold process' to auction.

I have no hesitation in highly commending Daryl to any potential seller. Why would you go elsewhere ! Read More
