Geoffrey Carlaw

When we decided it was time to sell our beloved home of 25 yrs and downsize, we wanted a professional, down to earth, and understanding real estate agent. A real estate agent that would listen to what we wanted and work for us. When Geoff from Bailey Property Group called by to meet us, I instantly knew that he would be the agent to sell our home. What impressed me was he made no promises that could not be met. 

 Jeff was dedicated to selling our property and making the process as smooth as possible for us both. He kept us updated all the way and offered honest feedback on the property. He also knows the North Eastern suburbs well so is up to date with market trends in the area. I believe this local knowledge helped to sell the property in as little as three weeks. 

 The way our home was presented for all open inspections was a credit to Geoff and all parties.

We first met Geoff Carlaw in October 2017.
He knocked on the front door of our Stuart Road, Prospect home and introduced himself as a real estate agent “new to the area” working for a relatively small local real estate company.
Geoff was also the agent for a property that was on the market around the corner and he was letterbox dropping the nearby streets spreading the word.
He wasn’t the hard sell sort of agent but just wanted to let it be known that if we ever needed a house valuation or was perhaps interested in selling that I might like to give him a call.
Coincidentally my wife Anne and I recently viewed a property that had just come on the market that was exactly what we were looking for.
Without committing to his agency he offered to spread the word at the forthcoming auction that our house may shortly be on the market and unsuccessful bidders may like to view our home.
After 35 years the time had come to downsize. We finally decided to sell and received a few valuations from different agents, roughly about the same. However, Geoff saw the positive in our home-not “it’s not a villa,” “it’s across from a school,” etc. He saw a family home, swimming pool, close to amenities.
We chose Geoff because he was pro-active and we felt that we could trust him to look after our best interests as well as his own company. He was very keen for us to achieve the best fair and achievable price.
As we had purchased our new home we suddenly became committed to sell. Sale and settlement was time critical. We had 4 openings over a reasonably short time frame and Geoff was always on time as well as phoning after every opening to update us on progress.
Through his diligence and assured, respectful manner with both us, and the eventual buyer, we were able to achieve our desired price.
A nervous month of back and forward negotiations was made infinitely better because of Geoff’s counsel. And because we had bought before we sold, Geoff had to counsel on a couple of occasions!
We can highly recommend Geoff as an agent of impeccable standards who will go out of his way to achieve the best outcome for the seller.

We had a view about targeting the sale of our house at a particular market.
Geoff not only embraced our approach but also brought his considerable professional knowledge and experience to bear to engage that market segment.
Geoff kept us fully informed as he explored multiple niche contacts.
Hardworking and with a most friendly, down to earth manner, we were impressed with his “non salesman persona”.
Geoff delivered our expectations.

Imre & Susan Szalai

We originally sought Geoff Carlaw as our agent because our research showed that he had achieved excellent sales results in our local area.
Upon meeting Geoff we instantly felt comfortable with him and his ability as an agent. He was honest, extremely hard working and didn’t have any of the cheesy salesman traits that we had experienced from other agents in the past.
We implicitly trusted the advice that Geoff provided as we were very confident that he knew the market and would achieve the best result for us.
After just 18 days on the market we had a sale result that we are very happy with, a testament to the hard work and professionalism of Geoff.
We would highly recommend Geoff if you are looking for a no nonsense real estate agent.
Thank you.

Kym & Sally

We were just talking about the excellent result achieved in the sale of our Highbury house and I thought I would formally thank you for all of your hard work in the sales campaign.

After meeting with a few agents prior to listing the reason I chose you was not only that I could see and sense a totally professional agent but you were the only agent who really knew my immediate area and had the sales statistics to back this up in your sales pack.

We felt that your price range suggestion, the recommended method of sale and time frame to achieve a sale was logical, realistic and above all achievable as well it fitted perfectly with our pending move.

We were especially impressed with the detailed weekly feedback report within a day of the weekend open for inspections and those texts telling us how many people came through. As a seller they are really great to receive to gauge the interest in the property.

We were so pleased with the final sale price knowing you squeezed as much as you could out of the buyer, you were a great negotiator in being able to close that final gap to achieve a win win situation for both parties over that last week. I also appreciated the extra effort and time involved dealing with buyers that were not only interstate and as it turned out co-ordinating private viewings with them again on a public holiday.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective vendors and would be happy to talk to any.

Once again thank you.

I approached three real estate agencies to find a sales person for the sale of my mother’s house.
I was pleased with my selection of Geoff Carlaw.
When it was discovered that the property was on a “moiety title” Geoff had the time to explain to me exactly what that meant and the possible impact on the sale.
I found Geoff very easy to communicate with and he always returned my calls in less than 10 minutes if he was busy when I called.
Geoff held many open for inspections and numerous private inspections prior to the auction.
Everything seemed to be done quickly and efficiently without fuss.
The auction proceeded well and the result was good.
Thank you Geoff!!

We first met Geoff Carlaw at an open for inspection a few streets away from our SOLD property.
His professionalism and passion he showed immediately at the front door made an ideal fit to sell our property.
He works tirelessly to achieve the best possible result and combined with his friendly and honest attitude to his work, it made the whole process less stressful.
Geoff kept us updated on all matters throughout the whole process and made himself available at very short notice.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Geoff to our friends and family for any Real Estate matters and would definitely use him again in the future.
