What happy clients have said about about Harvey Carr Realty* "I just want to thank you for selling my house without any nonsense. After talking to yourselves, I put the house on the market with Harvey Carr Realty having realised that selling a home is not rocket science, and I found you to be far more direct and frank than the rest of the crowd. Very importantly, all the agents had quoted me a percentage commission fee and some were as high as 3.3% -which would have meant me paying in excess of twenty thousand dollars in agent's fees. Harvey Carr's flat fee commission structure without doubt makes a lot more sense and has saved me thousands, in fact approximately the price of some new cars! Regards, Allen" -- "Just a brief note to thank you for selling our home & getting us the best possible price in a short time frame. We selected you from all the local agents because you had a clear strategy on how to negotiate & your business model is more in keeping with the 21st century. You kept us informed every step of the way through the sale & we had complete confidence in your abilities. Even though some of the agents were friends of ours, we couldn't look past what you had to offer. Overall, I can see why your business is going from strength to strength. Yours sincerely, Todd & Christine" -- "Thanks for keeping the sale together on our home, by getting the purchaser to agree to sign on a 26 day cool off. After long negotiations [Tony and Collin] managed to keep a very shaky sale together by doing things out of the normal, and we really believe that without their quick thinking, or if it had been any other agent, the sale would have most definitely crashed! Finally, we achieved a sale price of substantially more than what we paid for the home in 2003 when the property market was in the boom! Now everyone is saying the bubble has burst and the property market is down, some analysts are claiming by as much as 20%! Harvey Carr has proved that if anyone can achieve a high sales figure, IT'S THEM!!! John & Naomi" -- "Dear Collin and Tony, As you are aware we have had our home on the market for over two years, and in the process we have given an opportunity to almost all the local agents in Wentworth Falls. We really had run out of ideas when we called you, and thankfully your approach delivered the result. You were always available to be contacted and you were continually prepared to try new strategies, unlike some of the local crowd who seemed devoid of ideas. Most importantly, you were prepared to work with us and not against us. We finally get to enjoy being near our family, obviously with the benefit of hindsight we would have chosen your company much earlier. Thanks again, Deb & Greg" -- "You brought over 50 groups of people through our home and were amazed by your energy and will to see the job through to completion. We will certainly tell anybody looking either to buy or sell to call you. We appreciated that you told it the way you saw it, and you managed to squeeze every conceivable dollar from the buyer. You were always available after normal business hours and you delivered a very good result. Thank you and best wishes for the future. Matt & Jane" -- "We are very pleased with such a great result in a short time frame. With more interest rate rises announced and the talk of more to follow, we are just writing to say that even in this economic environment, you still did everything that you said you would do, mainly bringing qualified buyers through our property. We would like to indicate that hardly a day went by without at least one inspection. At no time did we list our home with your company because you had the cheapest fees, we interviewed a couple of agents and found that it was easy to see that you were by far the most knowledgeable and professional, and of course, it was great to find that your fees were approximately half the other agent's. Great work guys, it's been a pleasure. Patrick and Julie" -- "Dear Tony and Collin, Many thanks for selling our property within just a few weeks of coming on the market. We had been on the market with another agent previous to you, and their lack of drive and energy really did leave us wondering. You managed to negotiate the buyer to a price we were happy with and the whole process was without hassle or stress. Your business model is far more consumer friendly and still leaves the home seller with a lot more money at the end of the day. Yours sincerely, Mr & Mrs Conway" -- "Dear Collin and Tony, We would like to thank you for selling our home. Our lengthy sale was a very difficult time for us, but you remained positive all the way through. You communicated well with us and often brought buyers through our home after normal business hours. We are not surprised that your business is growing rapidly. Excellent service, superb marketing and best of all a fee that doesn't cripple the home owner. Good to see you have already sold one of our neighbours homes and are now selling the home we are currently leasing. Yours sincerely, Bruce & Melonie" -- "To Harvey Carr Realty, Thank you for an honest opinion when you did a market appraisal at our home, and for being truthful as to the price we could achieve in a relatively short time. We explained to you that we did not want to sit around on the market for weeks on end, but we still wanted to achieve a good sale price for our home! We were extremely happy with all the qualified buyers that you brought through our home in such a short time (approximately 10 inspections in just over a week!) then on the second week of our home being on the market we started to get offers. They were low to start but you negotiated them up to the figure of $380,000 which we were very happy to accept. After this experience, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to any potential sellers. Thanks, Rhonda and Andrew" -- "After having our home on the market for a number of months with [another local agency], and not getting anywhere (except for plenty of excuses and no feedback), we were relieved when the agreement finally came to an end. We listed our home with Harvey Carr Realty and noticed the difference straight away with the number of inspections at our home. After just two short weeks the property was under contract, the cooling off expired without any hitches or problems. Now the house is sold, and we are able to get on with building our new home and move on. To put it quite simply, the experience with Harvey Carr was pleasant to say the least! Jamie and Jodie" -- "To Tony and Collin, Thanks to everyone at Harvey Carr Realty, we were able to accept an offer on the sale of our house just one week after it was put on the market. Amazing really, considering other houses in the neighbourhood have had their "For Sale" signs posted for over six months! After taking Tony's advice on pricing strategy, we accepted an offer which was at least $15,000 higher than any other agent through they may be able to get for us (and one we are more than happy with!) Thank you also for your never ending enthusiasm, positive attitude and commitment to selling our house. We really appreciate everything you've done for us. Tom (our 2 year old son), especially loves his Wiggles CD that you gave to him! It's been an absolute pleasure having you sell our property and you have made what could have been a very stressful situation easy, quick and pain free. Thanks so much!!! Kind Regards, Belinda, Chris and Tom" -- "After interviewing a number of agents, we decided to list with you, not just because your fees were the cheapest, but we felt you were the best choice as you were more thorough and professional. You two were always accessible before, during and after business hours, not like other real estate agents who work normal office hours. We have noticed that there are homes on the market that have been on for around 12 months or even longer and we are so pleased that we listed with Harvey Carr Realty as you certainly got the job done! Keep up the good work! Best regards, Gabriele and Robert" -- "Dear Tony & Collin, We are very happy with the result that you achieved on our property. We have been following your agency since we read about the launch back in 2006 in the Blue Mountains Gazette, and we thought we would give you first opportunity as you offered the same service as other agents but at a much more reasonable price. We would like to point out that we felt your website was far superior to other agent's sites, the photo clarity was second to none and the virtual tours were excellent. The feedback we received from you always let us know what was happening with the sale process. To put it bluntly, the sale was that fast it made our heads spin! Yours sincerely, Claudia and Paul" -- "To Collin and Tony, Having previously listed [with another local agency] because we believed that the bigger the better approach would be to our advantage, we were wrong, because after 3 months they were no nearer to a sale than when they first put it on the market. So we changed agents and listed with you, all the rest is history now. The house was sold and we are completely happy with your service, and have recommended and will continue to recommend you to other property sellers. Keep up the good work. Bob and Pat Daley" -- "Dear Tony & Collin, We are very happy with all the marketing that you did on our house, and your website looked fantastic, and is far better quality and user friendly compared to any of the other agent's sites. We can honestly say that we feel you were upfront and truthful at all times and never pushy. Having over 20 qualified buyers through our home in a matter of weeks, we knew that the home would sell. We have already recommended family and friends that are selling, and we were not surprised to learn that you have sold their homes too! Yours truly, Toni and Ian Laslett" -- "Dear Tony & Collin, After having our home on the market with [two other local agencies] for a combined period of over 9 months, we were starting to wonder whether or not a decent agent existed! Fortunately, we then came across Harvey Carr Realty. Their approach was not only different from the rest, every aspect of their business was handled far more professionally. So if you are looking for an agent that thinks out of the box and gets the job done, then Harvey Carr is the agent! Marie and Greg Couzin" -- "Dear Collin and Tony, We are very happy with the result that you both achieved on the sale of our home. With the talk of yet more interest rate rises, we would like to point out that you both remained positive and worked extremely long hours to get the result. The marketing and websites, especially your Harvey Carr site, had commendable photos which were crystal clear and could not be faulted. The photos in the Gazette and Focus on Property were also excellent. We are happy to say to everyone who wants to sell their home, that if they use you two they will not be disappointed. Kind Regards, Bob and Marge Pavey" -- "Dear Harvey Carr Realty, Thank you for selling my home quickly (in less than two weeks) and for doing it pressure free. You kept it simple, no nonsense and with excellent communication all of the time, and best of all a whatever it takes attitude. I wish you both much success and will certainly suggest you to any of my family or friends that may want to sell. Yours sincerely, Julie Whelan" -- "Dear Harvey Carr (and team), Thank you for such a quick, stress free sale on my property. I had a number of agents look at my house. I decided to use you because you were not only the cheapest but you seemed to be the most professional. I would like to say that I feel like my decision to use you was right, as my house was sold in just two days. I would recommend anyone selling to pick you. Colleen Dunn" -- "Dear Tony & Collin, Our home was under contract in four days, and we would certainly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of selling. We appreciated the fact that every time we phoned we would either speak directly to Collin or Tony, unlike typical agencies that never return your phone calls or give you any feedback. Best of all, we did achieve a price that was higher than the actual asking price, and Harvey Carr's fees are the cheapest by far! Great result! Mary and Michael" -- "After interviewing a number of real estate agents, they all appeared the same – except for Harvey Carr Realty who came out in the evening when most agencies are closed. I would like to add that they respected my wishes and were not your typical pushy sales people. The service, feedback and professionalism was simply terrific. The photos and marketing really made my property stand out from others on the market. It just goes to show that even in a slow market, if your home is handled by licensed, skilled agents, it is still possible to achieve a fantastic result in such a short time – like I did! Finally and most importantly, the fees were by far the best and my home was under contract in less than a week. What more could you ask for? Sylvia Brock" -- "We had our home on the market for nine months without even a single offer with another local real estate agent who had a number of offices. We thought it was about time we had a change, so we decided to give Harvey Carr Realty a go. The house was sold and under contract within two weeks of listing with them, and the cool off expired smoothly and without any delay. Although Harvey Carr Realty does not have a conventional shop front, we would just like to add that the service and result was far superior to any other agents we have used in the past. They were extremely professional and did everything they said they would. They kept us well informed, and we always knew what was happening. And best of all, their fees were by far the cheapest!!! This proves that other agents who claim to provide a better service as jusitication for their over inflated fees, are duping us all. It is so refreshing to be involved with a team of honest real estate agents! We would have no hesitation in recommending Harvey Carr Realty to anyone who is considering selling. Their personal service was beyond our expectation. Keep up the good work Tony and Collin. Regards Allen and Margaret Daley" -- "We bought and sold our homes through Tony Carr. We feel that if all real estate representatives were like Tony, agents would not have such a bad name. He was straight with us about both the sale and purchase. Jeff & Nadine Young" -- "We are just writing to say thanks for the help in the sale of our house. We would just like to add that the photographs, advertising and promotions were excellent, the feedback was also excellent and regular, not to mention the performance, with over 30 inspections in the first weeks. Thanks again. Yi Lu & Yin Na Kan" -- "My wife and I would like to thank you for all the help and assistance you gave us in the purchase of our home. Over a period of about eight to ten weeks we searched all the real estate agents. All were very helpful if there was a home we wanted to see, but none, except for yourself, followed us up with a phone call when something in our price range became available. As the purchase of a house, it is such a big investment - everybody wants the best and most for their money. For the sales people who have to take the buyers from house to house, this can be very trying and disappointing if the purchaser doesn't like the properties. However you persevered and showed us many, many houses and I would like to say that you were very patient, courteous and helpful in each case. We hope these wonderful qualities take you a long way in your chosen career. Melvyn Andrews" -- "Dear Tony & Collin, Just a brief note to thank you both for selling our home in such a short time. We have noticed lots of properties that were on the market prior to us that are still on the market (and are dropping their prices dramatically). Our home was sold in just over two weeks. Harvey Carr had the buyers signed immediately and the sale went through without a hitch. We would also like to point out that we received more than one offer, and the eventual sale price was almost $20,000 more than another local agent had estimated. [Tony and Collin] are two likeable and pleasant fellows, that certainly know their real estate. We found them to be upfront and there was no waffle, they kept it simple and to the point. If you want your property sold, give them a call and listen to true professional advice. Graeme & Barbara Klooster" -- "Dear Tony & Collin, We would like to express our thanks for such a swift sale on our home, and also to recommend Harvey Carr Realty to anyone who is thinking of selling. We decided to list our home with you because you offered the same advice as other agents, maybe even more, but at a far less cost. We would like to mention that we signed an exclusive agreement on the 17th of September and by the 25th of the month our home was on the market. With all the media predicting doom and gloom, interest rates on the rise, things did not seem to be in our favour; however by the 3rd of October our home was under contract - in just 9 days from receiving the contract, Harvey Carr got the job done! So if you are thinking of selling, take our advice - use Harvey Carr Realty as they know how to get the job done, even in such a slow market. Many thanks, John & Mary Graham" -- Dear Harvey Carr Realty, Thank you for such a quick stress free sale on my property. I would like to mention that I had a number of agents look at my house...I decided to use you because you were not only the cheapest, but you seemed to be the most professional. I would like to say that I feel like my decision to use you was right, as my house sold in just two days. I would recommend anyone selling to pick you. Colleen Dunn" -- "Buying our home through Harvey Carr Realty was very simple and hassle free. We found the house we liked and Harvey Carr came to our home after hours (we did not have to miss any work) so we could sign all paper work at a convenient time that suited us. They even helped us find the best mortgage broker. To make a long story short, everything was very easy and hassle free. Miriam & Sven Shott (some happy purchasers)" -- "Just a quick note to say how easy it was to purchase through your agency....We met at the property and all the paper work was done in the comfort of our own lounge room, and after hours when other agents would normally have been shut. We would like to point out that we are from outside the Blue Mountains, but Harvey Carr Realty still travelled to our home to get all the paperwork completed. All in all it was a very easy transaction, and Harvey Carr Realty was at all times courteous and helpful. Ron and Joy Walsh" * Original testimonials available upon request
