Client testimonials
From our initial conversation, Jo immediately put us at ease with her friendly demeanour, patience, and vast knowledge of the local real estate market. We recently converted our cross lease title to fee simple, Jo could see the value and with her great local knowledge was able to sell our property in a slow market. Jo and her team kept us informed with regular feedback in writing and in person and kept us well informed throughout. A top agent who we have enjoyed dealing with on the successful sale of our property. Thank you Jo. We will be using Jo again in the future and would highly recommend her.
Excellent communicator, consistent follow up, clear guidance on the way forward, a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again for your support through the process
I had a great experience working with Jo to sell my apartment. From start to finish, Jo was friendly, proactive, communicative and incredibly easy to deal with. Jo's communication was excellent throughout the entire process, I always felt informed and confident in every decision we made as a team. She brought a clear strategy to the sale, gave honest advice, and worked hard to achieve a great result. I'm very grateful for Jo's support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
Good follow up and communication
We met Jo at several open homes while searching for our next dream home. Although we didn't end up purchasing one of her listings, we were consistently impressed by how she engaged with us as buyers - personable, professional, insightful, and genuine. When it came time to sell our own home of 14 years, Jo was top of mind. From staging through to the final sale, she was attentive and thorough, guiding us every step of the way. We encountered a few unexpected curveballs, but Jo was very proactive in finding a solution and achieved a great result. Very professional, and cares for both buyers and vendors circumstances. We highly recommend Jo, whether you're buying or selling!

Jo has kept in touch since we met at an open home a few years ago, and knew we were looking to move but hadn't sold our house. She called with an off-market listing knowing it was in my dream street. Not only did she facilitate that process, but she also then found a buyer for our house, meaning we didn't have to do any marketing or open homes, priceless when you have young kids! Jo has been upfront and honest throughout the whole process and supported us the whole way. Highly recommend!
