Our Testimonials

Thank you to our vendors for the 5 star reviews

John Doe

Freshwater

When searching for a builder for our home renovation, we were looking for someone who was going to be open and transparent with impeccable communication. We found this with Chad and the team from Larimar. From the first consultation through to the completion of our build, we were kept informed with regular updates and expected completion times. Build quality is of a very high standard and we are very happy with the finished product. Our tired 20+ year old house is now a beautiful home. I would recommend Chad and the team from Larimar.

We purchased a home through Ashleigh Portelli and she was great to deal with. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating with our questions and due diligence. Arguably we paid a bit too much for the property, but ultimately that’s what she is paid to do. We would happily consider Ashleigh if we were planning to sell.

Karen Garrett

Allambie Heights

Kerry-Anne and her assistant Ashleigh have been managing a tenancy for me for over a year. They have found two subsequent tenants for me without fuss; both tenants have very suitable. Kerry-Anne and Ashleigh are charming, professional, friendly, quick to respond to any requests from me or my tenant and a pleasure to have as an intermediary between me and my tenant. The book-keeping and banking has been prompt and accurate. I have dealt with a number of managing agents over the years, and Kerry-Anne Nielsen Property is outstandingly my favourite pick. I highly recommend them.

We couldn’t recommend Kerry-Anne Nielsen Property more! We got an incredible result on the sale of our Queenscliff apartment, all thanks to the incredible skill and experience of Kerry-Anne. She gave great advice from the outset, then worked incredibly hard to make it all happen. A safe pair of hands and a fantastic person to work with. Don’t go with anyone else!

I can thoroughly recommend KAN property as both an advisor and partner in the cut throat real estate game. It was great to come across a team of people that are as passionate about getting the right outcome as the owner. KerryAnne's ongoing passion and support provided great confidence as she guided us through to a great outcome. Appreciated having that personal relationship, always being available, that provided the feeling that everyone benefitted. Looking forward to an extended relationship with KAN property.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with the exceptional and highly recommended Kerry-Anne Nielson Property who exceeded all expectations in leasing our villa. It was a pleasure working with Kerry-Anne and Ashleigh, and their knowledge of the market and industry, combined with their friendly demeanour and efficiency, made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. From the very beginning, they provided valuable insights and expert advice, ensuring that we were well-informed throughout the leasing process. Their expertise proved instrumental in determining an optimal rental price and attracting quality tenants. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend this agent to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable professional. Amanda and Shaun Pearson

David and Cathy Richardson

Wheeler Heights

Kerry-Anne came on board after our long term Agent and friend decided to retire. We had met KA while looking at properties and found her so personable she was our immediate choice. And we were not disappointed. In a flagging market, KA and her associate Ashleigh worked their "butts" off to ensure we sold and sold at a decent price. Both girls are delightful. You could not have your home in better hands. And her after sales efforts are extraordinary. I for one, if we do sell again, will have Kerry-Anne at the top of my list. Our thanks forever.

Silvia Gore

I would highly recommend Kerry-Anne Nielsen Property when selecting a Real Estate Agent who is trustworthy, ethical, caring and highly skilled..

Patrick and Pamela Brown

Freshwater

We wish to thank you for your help and expertise with selling our Town House at Freshwater. We are grateful that you were recommended to us by members of our family. Our property took longer than expected to sell and was listed at a time when the property market was beginning a downturn. Despite this, you remained confident and patient and this, together with your insight and guidance, was imparted to us during the selling process. You and your assistant, Ashleigh Portelli, used your engaging manner and attention to detail to our advantage. You responded very quickly to any questions we had and there was frequent communication throughout the selling program. We have no hesitation in recommending your agency to anyone wishing to buy or sell real estate in the Warringah area.

Amanda and Richard

Dealing with Kerry-Anne and Ashleigh was an absolute pleasure. Buying a property is a highly stressful and frustrating time for everyone, yet Kerry-Anne and Ashleigh were calm and helpful at all time. They were always professional and readily available to provide access for tradesmen etc, to measure for quotes for renovations. Would highly recommend them.

Laing Family

Manly

Brilliant, fantastic, very approachable and just a pleasure to deal with are some words that come to mind when thinking of Kerry-Anne who sold our unit in Manly. I don't think real estate agents come much better than Kerry-Anne. She was always available, always did what she said she would do, kept us constantly in the loop and discussed everything with us. She was upfront from the beginning that she thought the market had cooled a bit but still achieved excellent inspections and a great sales outcome. Kerry-Anne came highly recommended from friends who had bought though her and we were not disappointed. Indeed she more than met our expectations. Apart from anything else she seems to be a lovely and honest human being. What more would you want.

She showed great poise throughout and brought a wealth of knowledge both from strategic, marketing and management side of things but also the nuances of the local market.

We can only speak highly of Ashleigh.

Barker Family

Kerry-Anne was my real estate agent who sold me my house and then sold my house for me. She sold my house for me in 7 days because she applied her smarts and understands what her clients and buyers want and create a win-win for all parties. Kerry-Anne always has the best interest of her clients at heart and that is why she was my real estate agent but she is now my friend.

Kerry-Anne is definitely in the right job; her friendliness and warmth puts you at ease immediately, both for the vendor and the buyers.

Hunter James Buyers Agents

Fairlight

Following a recent client house purchase in Fairlight, I can confidently say Kerry-Anne is a five-star agent. After the early stages of the advertising campaign, she listened to the buyer feedback and took action by increasing the guide in line with that feedback. I've no doubt this saved a lot of buyers a wasted trip. She was clear and professional when it came to making our offer and negotiating through to exchanging contracts. Our client had received a below-par service from another Sydney agent and was very nervous about bidding on another property. It was clear that Kerry-Anne had her clients best interests at heart throughout the process, leading to a happy seller for her and a happy buyer for Hunter James.

Julia and Ross

Fairlight

Within the first few minutes of talking to Kerry-Anne, we knew she was the right person to sell our home. Together with her lovely warm personality, knowledge of the market, and advice regarding timing during covid restrictions, we felt comfortable to proceed. I felt Kerry-Anne told us what we didn't know we needed to hear. We wanted someone flexible, easy to work with, and available to dedicate their time to the individual appointments that would, on some days, last collectively for up to 5Hrs. I found Kerry-Anne and Ashleigh to be professional and organized throughout the process. We were kept updated every day, even just to check in and see how we were faring. I can't express my gratitude enough for the outstanding result we achieved. Which went way beyond our expectations and moved so quickly. We will always be grateful for the support and attention we received. Thank you so much, Ross and Julia Cartwright
