We previously dealt with Nick when we were looking to purchase a property and when the time came we wanted him to sell ours.
The service, communication and courtesy of everyone at Lakes and Portside was exceptional.
We could not have asked for any more of Nick. It was a great experience and we would not use anyone else.

Karen

We chose Lakes and Portside Real Estate upon a recommendation when we decided to sell our family home. Our children were the fourth generation to occupy the home which had not been sold since it was purchased by my grandparents at the end of WW1. As such, the house was truly our treasured home and this was a big step for us.
Lakes and Portside found buyers who wanted to make our character villa their home and plan to further renovate the home to their needs, rather than, demolish or subdivide the property as we feared may happen.
The staff of Lakes and Portside were always punctual, professional, and as they promised "kept us in the loop" at all times. Nick Tuck was our main point of contact. We found Nick to be honest and approachable. We were easily able to confide in him during times of concern, and to seek honest advice, or clarification when we were in need. He tailored a marketing plan which reflected our wishes and brought to fruition a great result.
We have already recommended Lakes and Portside to our friends and associates and will continue to do so in the future.

Adele and Jeff

The team at Lakes and Portside Real Estate made the process of selling our house very easy. They were sensitive to the situation and were genuine in their approach. I would be happy to recommend them to family and friends looking at selling their property. Thank you again for your assistance with everything (and the chocolates and bubbles!)

The sale of my property at Cheltenham, was conducted in my role as Executor of the Estate of my late wife.I was definitely not looking forward to this task, particularly also, as I had preconceived ideasof the way Real Estate agents, in general, conduct business. I was introduced to Greg Walkington by a mutual friend, and I must say right from the outset it was a pleasurable experience with a positive outcome. As the property was circa 1925, therewas some maintanance required. Gregs advice onwhat should be done prior to sale and what would not result in a higher price was very practicable. He suggessted that a building inspection be done, to show that due diligence had been done on the property for potential buyers. After the property went on the market there was good interest, particularly in light of the current property market. The end result was that the property sold approximately one month after being offered for sale. Even more importantly, the property sold for the agreed advertised price. Gregs professional advise, personality, excellent communications and competitive commission could not be faulted. The staff members of Lakes and Portside Real Estate also provided the same professional, efficient and pleasant service. Overall, the sale experience was very pleasing with an excellent outcome. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Lakes and Portside Real Estate (Greg) to potential buyers and sellers. Thank you Greg, and good luck in the future.
