Testimonials

Dealing with Ken was an absolute pleasure. From a very accurate market appraisal, to a timely campaign, with frequent and relevant communication, Ken's performance exceeded my expectations. Ken is professional, approachable and relatable, which is exactly how I wanted my property to be represented, to attract a diverse market. Honest, open and transparent. I've sold with Ken before and he really did make selling easy.

Thank you so much Tony. I am so glad that we entrusted Richardson’s with the sale of our Gherang property.
You guys were fantastic to deal with I couldn’t be happier with how you coordinated the sale campaign, kept me updated and worked together as a team to deliver such a fantastic sale result in such a short period of time.

Matt was fantastic to deal with and responded to any questions or queries incredibly quickly and thoroughly.
He handled the sale of our Gherang property in a faultless manner and was honest with both prospective buyers and us the whole way through.
I couldn't recommend him highly enough and the whole Richardson team handled this process incredibly professionally.

Dear Ken, Thanks so much for helping us navigate our way through the sale of Kevin and Betty's land. Thanks also for the sensitive way you dealt with dad at what was an emotional and challenging time for us all.

And what a result! We're fully aware (almost) of how hard you had to work for that. Please pass on our thanks again to Will. Hope you have a lovely break.

Thankyou Matthew! Again, many many thanks for your persistence, calmness and professionalism throughout the campaign. All the best!

Miranda & Geoff

Matt is very easy to talk to, polite, friendly and professional. He has been on top of everything, always getting back to us quickly & returning our texts or calls if he's missed them. He's made suggestions and given advice regarding our property, but has respected our opinion also which we appreciate. He is not a pushy agent, it's nice to have someone so reliable & honest. I feel very confident and comfortable using your team's services and wish to continue doing so with our future property endeavours.

Jenny

Christina

I would like to thank Ken for his professional care and support in the sale of my property in Winchelsea. I was overseas at the time and Ken’s constant monitoring and large client database let to an amazingly quick sale, which was not only beyond my expectations but also his and his team’s expectations. Ken is a straight shooter who didn’t try to double talk me – which I have found rare in the industry. I would recommend Ken and Richardson Real Estate services to anyone wishing to sell their home.


Maria T - Winchelsea

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Matt for his diligent & exceptional service.
I have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family for a professional property service.

Peter

If you want exceptional service in real estate Ken McDonald is a quality person and quality agent. I had the pleasure of dealing with Ken and the level of service he provides is very professional and caring. Ken's colleague Tony Hyde is also very professional and knowledgeable. Ken, Tony and HF Richardson come with my strongest recommendation.

Scott McCormick

Matt has been fantastic. Timely, efficient, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

Kris

We would like to thank you for all your efforts and assistance in selling our farming property at 1370 Barrabool Road, Gnarwarre. It was greatly appreciated by us.

We were suitably impressed by your continual enthusiasm and professionalism in your efforts to sell our farm. Your commitment to the task was truly exemplary. There were many inspections. There were many discussions. We always believed that ultimately you would find a suitable purchaser who would carry on the wonderful things we had created at our farm, such as the extensive habitat. Ours was a lovely farm and it needed the right person to come along.

What particularly impressed us was that at the outset you said you would find the right person to buy our place. True to your word – you did find the right person. What became apparent to us was that Richardson Real Estate, and the livestock business HF Richardson and Co, have a network of contacts built up over many, many years of servicing the rural community.

Further as vendors, one thing we look for, amongst other things, is feedback after each inspection. At all relevant times, Will always called us to report back on the inspections and provide us with feedback. Further, Will would always call us and give us an update even when the market was quiet, due to the economic conditions. I enjoyed our conversations and exchanges of emails.

It was comforting to receive these calls and emails as it provides further illustration of your commitment and professionalism. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is contemplating selling their farming property to engage the services of Will Richardson of Richardson Real Estate. They were very committed and were a genuine delight to deal with. It is with great pleasure that we provide this testimonial.

Edgar & Karen Szabo

Sold a house with Ken McDonald recently. He was amazing to deal with, knew the area well, achieved above my desired price, had great communication and went out of his way to ensure everything went to plan. Would definitely recommend.

I would like to express my gratitude to Will Richardson, Tony Hyde of Richardson Real Estate for the successful sale of our property in Torquay.

The team were fantastic, they have a great depth of knowledge and provided intelligent advice and marketing strategies. Their care and honest approach was greatly appreciated and the selected sale by auction pathway was sound.

The campaign was professionally managed via brochures, press and web. Peter, Tony and Will provided regular feedback, which enabled us to relax as milestones in the campaign were reached and achieved as planned.

Our property sold at auction and I’d like to sincerely thank Will and the team, I couldn’t not speak more highly of them and I am very happy to recommend them to other potential vendors. I feel we were guided by a trustworthy real estate team of outstanding character and professionalism.

Mr Turner

Thanks Will and your great team for your great support throughout the year. Always prompt to attend and help customer. great customer service. Great support from you and your team

Michael Russo

Dear Tony, right from the start we recognised and appreciated your understanding of the Geelong market, and that you quickly understood where our property fit in that market. Your marketing proposal provided a realistic strategy which was followed through with diligence.

You were considerate of us as the sellers of the home, the regular reports and timely notice of inspections was appreciated. Your respect for our goals in selling our property and getting us what we wanted out of the sale was the biggest and maybe the best part of the service you offered.

We felt the quality of service, and the presentation of the property to the market, couldn’t be bettered by another agent – we’ve used a few in our time selling eight houses previously. We never felt an inconvenience and always felt looked after by Tony.

We would definitely recommend any further business be directed your way, we were very impressed.

Sharyn

When it came to a decision about which Agency would handle the sale of a 300 acre property at Connewarre, there was really no choice other than Richardson Real Estate.
We have been buying/ selling beef cattle and pigs with the firm for almost 40 years and the strong relationship coupled with the fact that for hobby farms in the Geelong region there is no one else to touch them!

An excellent marketing campaign was developed by Tony Hyde with an attractive brochure and strategic advertising leading up to an auction. Post auction, we relied on internet advertising which was reasonably priced and gave us the final sale.

The agency was able to introduce a number of potential buyers, to inspect the lots on offer and two of these groups bought at the auction, for very satisfactory prices.

Will Richardson conducted the auction and was able to achieve, what is regarded now, as the best possible result. He was totally professional throughout the process and ultimately achieved a result with which both parties are happy. He kept in touch constantly and never left us wondering what was happening, we knew the progress every step of the way.

The commitment of the team at Richardson Real Estate was outstanding and everything was done with a smile and a level of professionalism, apparently, uncommon in the industry. Faced with a similar challenge in the future we would not hesitate to engage Richardson’s again and it has been a pleasure to provide this testimonial - it is well deserved.

David Reid

I would like to recommend Tony Hyde for the outstanding service he provided in the sale of our property in Leopold. Tony’s direct approach and enthusiasm made the choice to utilise Richardson’s easy.

His specialist role in the area and attention to detail throughout the marketing and sale was very important. Tony worked with us (family of 8 finalising a deceased estate) on a campaign to get the maximum number of potential buyers through the property. Tony contacted me frequently and kept us up to date of all the interest in the property, in detail. We were also impressed with Peter Bell who conducted the auction.

The final result was very good. Selling a deceased estate home can be emotional and stressful, however Tony reduced any stress and continued to help after the auction through to settlement.

I am happy to highly recommend Tony and the team at Richardson Real Estate.

Mick Fitzgerald

Will, we would like to thank your company for the direct and honest approach in assisting us with purchasing our new property, through negotiation prior to auction.

Tony Hyde did a great job in ensuring all parties were happy and was a pleasure to deal with. We were also impressed with what we saw of Peter Bell, when looking at other property.

Thank you again we will recommend your company,

David and Anne Tyrrell

Kept us well informed at all times, had a friendly demeanor, great knowledge of the rural sector and were very professional.

Jo Devrome - Barrabool

We can highly recommend Tony Hyde of Richardson Real Estate. We engaged him to sell our 12 acre land holding. Tony always kept us informed and worked tirelessly, with integrity, in the time he had the listing to obtain a great result for us.
We found Tony to be helpful, professional and business like and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to sell a property. We were impressed with the detailed feedback we obtained, as the desire to being kept informed was high on our agenda.

Kevin & Cheryl Warren

Just a note to thank you Tony, for the sale of my property in Wurdiboluc. I was very satisfied with the way the sale was handled on my behalf. I was impressed with your market knowledge as well as the research and the timely updates on prospective purchases. I found the whole team from Will and Tony to admin staff, to be very professional and fair to all concerned. You maintained an honest and realistic approach to selling timeline and price. I would recommend your services to other sellers.

Peter Wotherspoon

We would like to sincerely thank the Richardson Real Estate team for the incredible result in selling our family home for a price beyond our expectations. We believe that your commitment and dedication to us as clients has been unsurpassed. Your focus on end result was beyond question and your motivating advice and detailed reporting during the process was appreciated more than you realise.

From the outset we had confidence we were in the right hands and have no hesitation in recommending your dedicated sales and administration team to others who value professionalism, honesty and integrity. Thank you!
