Our clients are important to us. Here’s what they said about us.
Andrew was very knowledgeable about the market and gave us feedback that helped us get the property best placed to sell. We sold the property for the price we wanted, despite being given lower sales estimates by two other agents, and after only a couple of weeks on the market. Andrew was always helpful and available. We would recommend him to anyone.
Fantastic people, go the extra mile, know their trade well. Small town hospitality and the little extras to help along the way. A1.
My experience with Yass Valley Property as both the agent of a property I purchased, and as an engaged representative for the sale of property on my behalf, has been nothing less than a really positive experience. With the purchase of my property, in what can be a stressful time, I found Andrew to be responsive and honest with any queries I brought forward, and after contracts were exchanged, continued to provide updates and check in all the way to settlement. The whole process was seamless. Once It came time to sell a property, I didn’t hesitate to engage Yass Valley Property, and being incredibly busy I left the work up to them with just a basic idea of what I was after. Within a very short period of time a buyer was secured and contracts exchanged, with the final result far exceeding my initial expectations. I have predominantly dealt with Andrew, but have found that any engagement with staff at Yass Valley property to be very professional and friendly. I will continue to use and recommend Yass Valley Property to family and friends, and would so to anyone considering a property agent within the region.
From the moment you meet Karen you can feel her passion for her job and the clients she supports. Bringing her friendly warmth and energy combined with her experience and knowledge to produce such an amazing experience not only from a seller‘s perspective but a buyers as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, Karen comes highly recommended.
Karen really made the whole selling process easy. She really went above and beyond!!! For people that have never sold a house before it all seemed like too much but Karen stepped in and made it all so easy! Karen actually made selling our house fun and stress free.
We could not of asked for a better real estate agent! Karen was so professional and so down to earth and so easy to talk to. We honestly can not recommend Karen enough!!
We are so very grateful to have had Karen as the agent helping us navigate the purchase of our first home. Not only did she answer our questions, but she even went out of her way to contact independent agencies to get us further information for our peace of mind.
Rather than feeling like we were dealing with an agency, we felt like we were dealing with a family friend.
Karen made us feel supported the entire way through and we wouldn’t hesitate to engage with her again for any future requirements 🙂
We have nothing but praise for Karen at YVP. Excellent communication throughout the sale process. Got all the advertising out to right places. We would highly recommended to anyone who is thinking of selling property to give Karen a call!!
Karen was an excellent agent who never doubted that we would get the price we were after.
Karen kept us informed with every potential buyer and was very passionate about getting the property sold to the right buyers. Karen went above and beyond to get everything in place to make the sale happen. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to sell anyone’s property.
Karen was a dream to deal with, she went out of her way to meet us at the property after our hours of work, she also had great knowledge of all things about the house and the build.
Karen effectively and professionally managed my property profile with potential buyers, developing and fostering contacts that led to the sale. Her suggestions on how to prepare the property for sale were extremely helpful and she was very proactive in assisting with resolving any difficulties that arose during the sale process. Overall, my dealings with her were always easy, professional and helpful and I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to sell (or purchase) a property.
From the moment I met Karen she was always professional, courteous, warm and friendly. She made time to listen to my needs and responded back in a timely and well researched manner. Karen made the pain of purchasing an investment property pain free and I would highly recommend Karen to anyone.
As you know, one of your employees, Karen was the sole representative that we dealt with in the purchasing of 4 Larson Lane. I would like to provide you some constructive feedback on her performance and endorsement for her being recognised for her good work. Karen is a personable and likeable agent who went that extra step to assist us in the difficulties of buying from significant distance. Karen was able to provide us feedback and advice that greatly assisted in the decision to purchase, including establishing trust that was fundamental in her role as our agent. I have subsequently learnt that this was perhaps her first sale – and I wanted to pass on to yourself that she is thoroughly deserving of reward and recognition for the sale. I am confident Karen will establish herself as an asset to your company into the future.
Andrew Curlewis and his team have worked hard to create an environment that is professional and comfortable in every aspect. Andrew is a person of integrity who built a trusting and honest relationship with us. Communication throughout the process was timely and valuable. We had worked with another agent who always looked to discount whereas Andrew built value and worked hard for us achieving the asking price. We will definitely use Andrew Curlewis and Yass Valley Property again.
Andrew is a great, friendly and an easy going guy. Made purchasing our first home a dream come true. Easy to talk to and deal with, making a daunting process much easier to digest. Great local knowledge. Would definitely recommend him and would approach him in the future. Thanks Andrew!
I could not recommend Andrew Curlewis highly enough, he is both professional and extramly helpful to both the vendor and purchaser of the properties he and his team market. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Yass region I suggest you contact Andrew to deliver you the best service in the Real Estate industry.
Ian and I have been dealing with Andrew and Peter, his father, as agents for the sale of our farmland for many years now. Though Peter has been our main contact both he and Andrew rate the same as shown above. We cannot thank them enough for their professionalsm and friendliness. We have made six sales through them and each one has been conducted in an excellent way and we cannot recommend them enough. The staff in their office have always been helpful and friendly as well. We trusted them complerely which was rewarded with the final results. Whether a buyer or seller, you cannot do better than Andrew and Peter and Yass Valley Property.
Andrew was a very good agent who made our house buying process incredibly smooth and easy. He was attentive, professional and easy to work with. As first home buyers the process can be daunting but we didn’t have any concerns from start to finish. My wife and I are extremely happy with the service we were provided and would highly recommend Andrew.
I have been working with Andrew since 2014 on the purchase and sale of property in Yass NSW. Andrew has been notable, in contrast to other agents in the town, for his politeness, willingness to communicate freely and tolerate perhaps unnecessary calls. He has been proactive in seeking higher prices for my property in a difficult environment. Most importantly, Andrew has shown resilience in dealing with a string of speculative and insincere clients. The basis of our relationship is to set out requirements and options, make a decision and then stick to it.
Andrew Curlewis’ approach to us buying the block of land was attentive, measured and professional. He listened to us, understood our position, met us on site when requested and answered our questions appropriately. I would recommend his professionalism.
Andrew was excellent and the property sold within a week!
Andrew from Yass Valley Property was an excellent agent who facilitated a fast transaction to buy our new property. He was prompt in responding to any requests made and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.
We would gladly recommend Andrew’s services. Our experience with Andrew during the process of buying a residential property was trouble-free.
Andrew promptly answered any of our questions or requests for further information so that we could make an informed decision regarding the purchase.
Andrew showed great patience whilst we made our decision and there was never any pressure to make a rushed decision. We found Andrew to be extremely courteous and reliable with great communication skills.
We would have no hesitation using Andrew’s services again in the future.
Very Professional, Thanks Andrew.
Andrew and the whole team at Yass Valley Property have proven to be outstanding agents. Andrew was very communicative through the whole process, and used his vast network of knowledge to find us the perfect house!
We are very happy with YVP, and feel valued and respected by all the team there!
Andrew was fantastic in the purchase of this property. Andrew was very accommodating showing us the property after hours and negotiating a deal on the weekend. With his extensive local knowledge and experience in the area I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell property.
Sold within 3 months and we’ll above the advertised price 👍
Mr Andrew Curlewis and his team were the agents who managed our property and who we chose to sell our property.
Andrew was always contactable,informative, friendly and always kept us updated. He was able to judge the current market and we took his advice on the listing price which was achieved within a few months and we couldn’t be happier as it was an easy, open and friendly and professional exchange regarding our property and we always felt they had our best interest at heart.
We thank them for achieving the best outcome we could have expected. Thank you to Andrew and his team as it was a pleasure dealing with such a professional and friendly team.
Andrew’s sound knowledge of local conditions and personable, sensible and low-key approach make him a pleasure to deal with. He understood our requirements and kept us well-informed.
Thank you to Yass Valley Property and especially Andrew for a great experience in selling our beautiful home. Throughout the whole journey you have been professional, approachable, contactable and friendly.
Your attention to detail in guiding us to prepare our property to go on the market was exemplary. Your expert advice and guidance lead us to a prompt and fruitful sale. Thank you again for your outstanding service.
It was a pleasure buying a new property through Yass Valley Property’s Andrew Curlewis. Andrew and his staff made the process stress free and easy. Andrew was always available when we needed him and was happy to answer any questions we had, both during our property search and then the purchase. We would certainly recommend Yass Valley Property for any real estate needs.
The whole team was fantastic, but greatly appreciate Curley’s honesty & help. A fantastic agent, showed us through a couple places; understood our needs & notified us of places relevant to us. Fantastic service & would highly recommend Yass Valley Property to everyone!! Would be our 1st choice in town for future use.
We had an unusual property to sell and pricing it was difficult. Andrew was most helpful and we felt that he genuinely cared for our business. He maintained a cheerful manner throughout and was good at returning emails and calls.
Andrew always makes you feel Comfortable and his confidence and easy going nature makes his dealings fun yet very very professional I remember buying my first home from Andrew a few years ago. My experience then was nothing but a pleasure and my recent sale and new purchase has been no different. Real estate agents generally dont have a good reputation and are always caught out in their lies, BUT Andrew and his team at YVP are quite the opposite. From the minute I called to get a valuation and look at selling, to the minute we decided to sell and exchanged I was given nothing but exceptional service, honesty and very helpful and honest advice. I was kept in the loop the entire process and every time I called with a question, Andrew and his office staff answered the phones, or I had a call back that same day…..AND our home was listed for no more than 5 days before we accepted an offer that was in the ball park of what we needed to get. I also have my rental property managed through these guys and Loren is an absolute pleasure to deal with too. Being a family run business, you can really see the personal touches and approaches in all aspects of their business. Again everything is easy, I am always kept in the loop and nothing is ever too much trouble. There are a number of agents in town and I have had dealings with some in the past, and I can honestly say that Andrew and the Yass valley Property team will always be my number one choice. I can not recommend them highly enough.
If you want a painless, truthful and pleasurable process in buying and selling call Andrew and the team today. It will be the best decision you can make I would also like to mention Hugh Mcdonald at Davis Faulkner Solicitors in town also. They too have made our process a pleasure, they too are very honest, quick responding, trusting and extremely friendly. From Ann at the front, to Hugh to Sophie….they are the perfect combination of what professional represents. Thank you everyone.
We really appreciated having Andrew as our agent. His years of local experience, quality advertising, advice for preparing our house and his fabulous staff were unsurpassable. I highly recommend Andrew and his team.
We purchased this property as an investment with Andrew from Yass Valley Property 4 years ago. He gave us some excellent advice and guidance at the time and we have been very comfortable with our investment since then. Although we intended to keep the property for longer as so often happens life got in the way and so we decided to have a discussion with Andrew. Once again he was spot on with his appraisal and also advised to hold off for a while as he felt that the market was “heating up” Andrews advice served us very well as we achieved well above our original estimate.
The whole process of buying and selling with YVP has been stress free and the timing of the steps to achieve our goal has been excellent! We have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and the team at Yass Valley Property to anybody interested in the real estate market in Yass and in fact couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks for all your efforts Andrew.
Thank you Andrew and all the team at Yass Valley Property for the professional and quick sale of our property.
Andrew and his staff were always helpful, easy to communicate with and provide a great service.
I just wanted to touch base with you to thank you and the team at Yass Valley Property for the entirely professional way you have managed my rental property to date.
I chose VYP to manage my property based our first meeting, where your approach was friendly and super informative. As a first time landlord, I was nervous to rent out my home, but you were able to put me at ease with your honest and forthright manner. Your explanation of the services you provide and your schedule of fees was comprehensive and you were able to anticipate my novice questions, and answer most of them before I could ask them.
Your advice regarding timing of advertising and pricing for the market were clearly on point despite my reservations – you are the expert!! The fact that you were able to attract several prospective tenants and show them the property on the first day the advertisement went live is testament to that. To have a quality tenant with a proven rental history with YVP within only 48 hours was icing on the cake.
To say I am happy with the service you have provided to date is an understatement! I look forward to continued happiness!
Andrew is a brilliant agent as he keep me well informed and was very helpful when it came to advise. Because of what he knows of the current market his advise was invaluable, my property sold very quickly.
Andrew and his team at Yass Valley Property, are a hard working, honest and professional. Andrew did a fantastic job at selling our home, reaching a price that was over one hundred thousand higher than other local real estate agents that valued our home.
We are really grateful for his hard work and all the staff at Yass Valley Property. Our house was sold within a few short weeks, he took away all the related stress that comes from selling, and it was a really positive experience. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone that is interested in selling their home, he really is an outstanding real estate agent.
Andrew was very helpful when we first went to Yass Valley Property. He explained everything clearly and made the whole process very easy for us and we were very happy with the outcome. I would recommend him to anyone selling their house.
Very happy with Andrew overall. Good knowledge and communication.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew. He was up front honest had great knowledge and provided great feed back throughout the sale. I had a pleasant experience selling and had a excellent result, definitely recommend Andrew.
After several months of marketing our property with an alternative agent, my wife and I engaged the services of Andrew Curlewis from Yass Valley Property. Prior to engaging Andrew, the previous agent was unable to generate a single offer. Additionally, they did not adequately protect our property, communicate openly, maintain the yards or ensure the house clean and presentable after tenants had vacated (previous rental).
From the start, Andrew provide frank and honest advice regarding the state of the market. This approach continued when inspecting the property by identifying areas to be addressed or improved. Knowing the market and regional clients well, Andrew recommended we commission landscaping in order to provide side access to the backyard in addition to retaining walls for side garden. This was to ensure customers could transit and store items such as boats, caravans and trailers. Andrew was also able to put us in touch with local tradesmen who were reliable, produced quality work and delivered on scheduled timelines. This included regular gardening maintenance to keep the property in a highly presentable manner.
Prior to marketing, Andrew was able to draw potential buyers to the property. Once advertised, Andrew and the team provided regular updates by always communicating openly and honestly. All correspondence or questions raised with Yass Valley Property were responded to in a timely manner. After a short duration on the market, Andrew was able to generate three offers and achieve a sale. Therefore meeting our expectations when others had failed to attract a single offer.
My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and the team to potential customers or clients. We highly appreciated his open and honest appraisal, his down to earth nature and local knowledge of the Yass community and surrounding area.
Andrew inspired a sense of confidence and he proved to be just as trustworthy and energetic as he first appeared. He gave sound guidance in getting the property ready for sale and he provided good, market-based advice. The property sold in record time with minimal stress.
Sold my property on schedule at the target price. Achieved our objective. I shall use his services again.
Chris and I would like to thank Yass Valley Property for all your help with successfully completing our sale. Please could you also thank Peter, Loren, Alice and Sophie for all their kindness and consideration to enable us to get there!
We were very impressed with how efficient and honest you were with both us and the buyers while still maintaining a sense of humour [most important when dealing with stressed vendors!] We think the result was very good, both for us and the buyers and wish them every happiness in their new home.
We would recommend your agency highly to anyone who is hoping to have a successful journey thru the real estate experience both for vendors and buyers.
We highly recommend Yass Valley Property and, in particular, Andrew Curlewis for the sale of your property in the Yass Valley.
We first met Andrew when purchasing our house in Yass 4 years ago. After having dealt with other Agents in Yass we were really impressed by Andrew’s no-nonsense approach and friendly manner. It made the whole buying process very easy.
After moving to our new house in Yass Andrew still helped us by recommending tradespeople to us who we still use to this day.
When it came time to sell our Yass house we knew straight away that we wanted Andrew to be our Sales Agent. Throughout the whole process Andrew was very professional, had good market knowledge and helped us to get the result we were after.
From the moment we contacted Andrew about selling our house, he made everything easy and straightforward. Communication was quick and easy and he always kept us up to date with how the sale was progressing. He offered helpful advice on how to maximise the selling price of our house. He efficiently had our house on the market and took the time to show prospective buyers through our property before the open house.
Our aims were to sell our property quickly and at a decent price and Andrew helped us have the house sold within the first week after it was listed for the exact price we wanted.
Andrew is a great find – he is genuine and honest – and we recommend him without hesitation.
Real estate people would be among the most respected professionals if they were all like Andrew Curlewis.
We selected Andrew to sell our rural properties in the Yass district because we knew first hand that his reputation for honesty, integrity and good old fashioned hard work is justified.
He has faced challenging sales situations for us and come up trumps every time.
We had our house and property on the market for two years without having any success, then decided to move the sale to Yass Valley Property. Within two weeks we had a firm offer on part of the property quickly followed by the total sale of the remaining land and house.
We were impressed with their integrity, enthusiasm and their modern approach to marketing and personal service.
It was a very enjoyable experience dealing with Peter and Andrew who offer a very professional personal service. We would not hesitate to recommend their firm to anyone wanting to sell property.
When I offered my rural property for sale to Peter and Andrew Curlewis the general economic environment was so poor that I sometimes wondered whether my judgment of commercial matters had lapsed.
Peter and Andrew never wavered in their enthusiasm to market the property and took the whole matter over. Their ability to produce eye catching advertisements with imaginative photographic backup was most professional.
Both men have a wonderful manner for dealing with clients and when it came to inspections or the other was always available to comply with the date chosen by the person enquiring.
They kept in touch and gave me regular updates. They respected my values and the work and time that had gone into the property I was selling.
I have great pleasure in giving the highest recommendation to Yass Valley Property for both rural property and town residential.
