Insightful Industry and Market Knowledge That was Shared in an Engaging and Professional Manner.

Daryl assisted in the recent sale of my property and I found him to be a true business partner, willing to go the extra mile, supporting his clients in order to eventuate a sale. His invaluable insights and advice throughout the journey of preparing the property for sale and his promptitude and commitment in attending to unforeseen and ad hoc issues, is very much appreciated. It is for these reasons, that I would recommend setting up time for a chat with Daryl if you are looking to sell your property. Read More

Testimonial from Anna
Sold fast, above asking, stress-free Isabella went above and beyond. Highly Recomend!

I wanted to sincerely thank you for the outstanding service you provided in selling my home. From start to finish, working with you was a seamless and rewarding experience. You made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable through your professionalism, market expertise, and constant communication. From our first meeting, I was impressed by your punctuality, deep understanding of the local market, and clear communication. You explained the process thoroughly and set realistic expectations, which gave me great confidence. Your transparency and honesty were refreshing and appreciated throughout. Your marketing strategy was exceptional—professional photography, well-written listings, and strong social media outreach led to incredible results. Within two days of listing, we had 22 attendees at the first open house, and the property was sold within three weeks, before auction, and at an excellent price. That outcome speaks volumes about your strategy and dedication. I also want to thank you for going the extra mile to help us sell our household items online. That kind of above-and-beyond support truly made a difference, and your associate, Daniel Malas, was a huge help as well. He is a promising young professional, and under your guidance, I believe he’ll continue to achieve great things. Your commitment, responsiveness, and expert guidance made every step of the process feel easy. I couldn’t be happier with the result, and I will absolutely recommend you to friends and family. Thank you for everything, Isabella! Read More

Great Salesperson in a Difficult Market

I was very impressed with Tony's professionalism in what proved to be a challenging sales market. Over the extended sales period, Tony firstly arranged for the supplier of the stylist furniture to extend the time that the furniture was available and secondly came up with innovative methods to change the sales program. Overall while I would have liked a better sales result, I did say from the outcome that I wanted the property sold. I was impressed with Tony's perseverance in a difficult market. Read More

A VERY HAPPY VENDOR OF 3 HOME UNITS ON THE LOWER NORTH SHORE

Daryl Katz represented the agency "Shead Property, Chatswwod which sold 3 properties on the lower north shore for a family which I represent.

The properties were home units in different locations all of which had been owned and rented by the same family since the early 1980's

Daryl and his team did a great job in helping us with the planning of the 3 sales including;

-advising on small tidy ups of each appartment

-arrangeing for the tenants to vacate each premises

-Recommending a good legal firm to arrange for the preparation and execution and subsequent settlement of the 3 sales contracts

Keeping us well informed on interest in the purchase of each property and how open days inspections had gone

Advising whether to take a property to auction or sell privately [depending on the level of buyer interest]

All in all my clients were very happy with the results achieved on the sale of the 3 properties. They have 2 other properties to sell later this year and will not hesitate to engage Daryl and his team to act as the selling agent Read More

Clear and sound marketing advice

From my first point of contact with Tony Walker (Shead Real Estate), I was immediately impressed by his down-to-earth approach and clear advice on the best way to successfully market our property in a rapidly changing economic environment. This was particularly so towards the end of the campaign, coping with the new government regulations outlawing onsite auctions and open houses. The final sale, negotiated by private treaty, was both realistic and acceptable in view of the circumstances. We do not believe that this success would have been achieved without Tony's experience and absolute professionalism throughout our sales journey. Read More

Pymble Sale

We recently sold our house in Pymble with Shead Property.

Isabella Yan was the selling agent.

We were relatively inexperienced with preparing a property for sale and Isabella’s guidance and advice was what we felt led to a great outcome.

She was fully committed to the sale of our house.

Her knowledge of the market was invaluable.

We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Isabella to anyone wishing to sell their property. Read More

COVID, International and Joint Property.

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 will put 110% effort into making sure you get the best result possible

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

Testimonial from Cathie Ahern
Thoroughly professional yet thoughtful and gracious

We got very lucky choosing Tony and his team. He was the first person we spoke to and we felt he had things in hand from the beginning. His ability to pull together resources to do things around our property in a timely manner was extraordinary. We prepared our house for sale very quickly not because we were particularly rushed - it just all fell into place.

Tony's knowledge of the market is broad and not only did he know the details of properties he also knew the circumstances of the vendors involved and it was clear he worked hard to accommodate their concerns.

We really appreciated Tony's honesty regarding the worth of our property. We have a unique house and block of land that didn't really have a comparative property in the market. Tony was clear that he was relying on his business 'sense' to predict a realistic price expectation for our house and he did really well.

We are happy to recommend Tony Walker and his team without hesitation. He was thoroughly professional yet his thought and grace toward us made us feel our opinion was valued and our hesitancies considered. Read More
