Great communication styles, honest opinions and honest details of the property shared when asked, most helpful and approachable as well.
Great communication and positive attitude. Sonia worked around our needs, and nothing was a problem. Very professional approach and pleasant to deal with.
Both Sonia and Sophie were a fantastic team. They had wonderful patience and were extremely helpful in explaining the process of sale. All open days went smoothly. I would happily recommend them as agents
Communication from Sonia throughout the purchase/Auction process was excellent.
Great personal touch provided by the ladies, a pleasure to work with. Went the extra mile with us on our long journey to find the right house to purchase. Thanks again
Nothing was a problem for Sonia, and we provided plenty of challenges. From the moment we met, she took the time to get to know us, our sensitive situation and what the desirable outcomes would be. Helpful explanations to all parties along the way, supported us to a very successful result. She continued to go above and beyond, well after auction. Would happily recommend based on my experience.
Due to their excellent advice and professional service Sonia and Sophie achieved an excellent result in the sale of my property.
Sonia was very caring and went above and beyond to help me with my sale
We were so happy with the amazing work from Sonia and Sophie. The constant communication and keeping us in the loop was much appreciated. Topped off by a quick sale via auction and settlement. These ladies are incredible. We are so grateful.
Sonia made our property-selling journey so easy.
She is amazing
Sonia’s warm and friendly manner made it an absolute pleasure to work with her. At no point did she come across as pushy.

Sonia was profession yet friendly and understanding during every stage of selling our home. She made it easy and stress free and I’d highly recommend her to anyone selling their house.
Selling a house can be a stressful & anxious time, Sonia took all of this away and made selling the home we built and reared our children turn into something we were excited about. She took the time to learn about our house and us, becoming part of our journey and family. We know we made the right choice and would highly recommend working with Sonia to anyone selling their home.
Sonia listened to our needs and was very understanding and presented us with an excellent marketing plan, we enjoyed working with Sonia!
Above and beyond in accommodating vendor and purchaser requests.
In my role as a Residential Purchasing Manager I deal with many agents in various estate companies. I have found Sonia to be one of the best that I have had dealings with both in buying property and selling in the residential marketplace, I highly recommend Sonia and the team from Bayley's. Sonia has a wealth of knowledge and is very open and honest and a pleasure to deal with. I will always use Sonia as my preferred agent at Bayley's for buying and selling in the future.
