Testimonials
Great advice and great outcome
We have worked with Kathryn several times now selling properties over the past 8 years or so, the most recent one was an investment property at Birtinya, Sunshine Coast. After speaking with Kathryn she assured us we could achieve a sale price much higher than what we anticipated due to her knowledge of the market. Her insistence on only showing the property to qualified buyers is a winning formula which made the process so much easier for both us and our tenants. We greatly appreciate Kathryn's communication style, ethics and professionalism and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell a property.

Caring and thoughtful
Kathryn was great to work with, she was very sensitive to the situation that I was moving from my home of 20 years taking that step into aged care. Her communication was excellent and I felt comfortable that Kathryn was not just doing open inspections, but by appointment only which I felt a lot more comfortable with. I would definitely recommend to anyone selling their home.

I found a gem in Kathryn
Caring, Understanding, Polite, Sincere are just a few qualities I found in Kathryn's professional attitude towards finding the right purchaser for the sale of my property. Kathryn was helpful in many areas from day one 1) starting with her first inspection to the final settlement and even beyond. Kathryn's personality is down to earth and friendly. Trust is an important part of selling a home and Kathryn provided peace of mind for me; knowing each inspection with a potential buyer was safe and secure and that Kathryn's main goal was obtaining a great outcome for me the vendor. Kathryn went up and beyond in her professional position as a real estate agent being there for me with her fantastic attitude, assisting and comforting me during the transition of selling and moving. I recommend Kathryn to anyone that is endeavouring to place their home on the market.

A five star experience.
As first time home buyers we found Kathryn to be professional and prompt. She returned emails and phone calls in a timely manner and was courteous and patient when replying to our many questions. From our limited knowledge on buying a house the process went relatively smoothly and Kathryn played an integral part in making that happen.

Knowledgeable, professional and very approachable. And very supportive.
I had been told about this property by a friend, and decided to give Kathryn a call, right from the outset, Kathryn was friendly, approachable and had great knowledge. I arranged for my friend to attend a viewing of it with Kathryn on my behalf and everything was communicated wonderfully. I conversed with Kathryn quite a bit over the course of the acquisition and she walked me through the process of the sale, putting my mind at ease with her knowledge and ability to answer all my questions or queries. Would I utilise Kathryn's services again? Absolutely, without hesitation. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and thank Kathryn for her assistance in doing so.

A breath of fresh air
Kathryn's sentiment and personal approach to a cut-throat industry shine's through. Her compassionate persona coupled with her extensive history proven sales portfolio provides a unique 'niche' type of agent. She brings a more empathetic touch to the cold hard reality of selling a home. Word can't express my gratitude for Kathryn's experience and ability to 'take it the extra mile. She truly is a breath of fresh air among the real estate market

Personable
We have only sold one house before and it was quite formal and cold. Kathryn came after I had contacted her and we had a great chat as she worked out what we were like and our wants and needs. She then suggested a sale plan for us. At all times Kathryn worked hard on the sale, kept in contact on a regular basis and was friendly and very aware of what we wanted. We feel we have a friend rather than an agent. Kathryn also achieved a sale amount well above other agents estimations. We would not hesitate to recommend Kathryn if you are buying or selling a property.

"Absolute pleasure"

Review on Behalf of Alan Ramage - Daughter Sheree Hartley
Kathryn Bannister was absolutely wonderful to work with during such a hard time for my father after losing his wife of 54 years. It was like having a friend on the "inside" that is working for you. She really cared about her Client and was thorough and professional to work with. Kathryn kept us apprised about upcoming appointments and always took extra care due to my father's circumstances of still grieving for my mother. She was honest and forthright and we felt lucky to have her selling my parents property.

Kathryn is one of the most pleasant salesperson I've had the pleasure to deal with.
My initial contact with Kathryn was to inspect the property on my own to see how well it matched our objectives as a family, Kathryn met me at the front door and invited me to literally 'explore' the main house at my own pace with her nearby to respond to any questions. We then visited the second residence as well as the infrastructure and grounds. At no stage did I feel any over-persuasive pressure that this was the property for us, rather Kathryn simply asked me key questions about our needs. When we had finished I advised Kathryn that I would discuss the property with my wife and adult daughter but that I recognized that we would need to create more infrastructure to accommodate our needs. Again Kathryn was understanding and assured me that we would be welcome to return as a family. That is exactly what we did. Throughout the whole process from the inspections to the settlement Kathryn made herself available for us to contact her about any questions or any aspect we felt uncomfortable about. Her prompt response and reassurance was a blessing.
