Client testimonials
David and Marilyn are cool, calm and collected. They know their stuff and can deliver the best possible outcome.
David Archibald was marvellous to deal with; kept us informed; went the extra mile.
David is lovely and more importantly he's transparent and honest. He made the process easy and didn't try to push me into anything (unlike all the other real estate agents I'd met during my house search). Only piece of advice is the goody bag isn't needed (not for me anyways) - my house was my gift. :)
It was a good experience
David managed the marketing and sale of our property. The marketing package was impressive and added significantly to our perspective on our property. There was nothing straightforward about this sale. David negotiated many tricky situations and complicated discussions, in a timely and pleasant manner, despite the pressure of a looming date for the deadline sale. Along the way, we were well informed on potential purchasers, and about who viewed – and how they viewed – the property. David was a pleasure to work with. He worked tirelessly to ensure we got a fantastic result.
David looked after us very well and went above and beyond.
We were very pleased that we had David Archibald as our Bayleys realtor. He was an absolute professional, ensuring we understood each of the stages of our sale, the options for advertising and the paperwork we had to fill in or provide. David was in constant contact about what was happening and organised visits to the building once he confirmed the times were suitable, not just for the prospective buyer, but for all onsite at the building for sale. When we emailed, texted or left a phone message he replied straight away. David made us feel at ease when we went through the auction process on the big day. The results he achieved for the sale of our building were very successful. We will certainly be recommending David to friends and family if they are selling property.
David always went the extra mile
David was welcoming and approachable from the very beginning, answered all my questions promptly and made purchasing my first home a pleasant experience. I was thankful to have had him as the real estate agent I dealt with.
When we finally decided that it was time to downsize and leave our home of 58 years, we were lucky to be introduced to David Archibald. We had already decided that we would ask Bayleys to be our agents. They had already impressed us by their efficiency in selling our family holiday home. David immediately made an impression by his courteous but friendly manner and his appreciation of the emotional ties we had to our property. He was quite willing to offer advice and wait patiently until we were ready before starting the busy marketing campaign, which he personally supervised – I even found him down on his hands and knees one evening after the cleaners had left to give the floors an extra scrub! We had already agreed that asking Karen of Bramble Green On Sea to use her artistic flair to decorate the bare interiors would help to illustrate the potential of each room. I must admit that the final effect made us reluctant to leave after all! Karen’s creativity was only matched by the teamwork in preparing and dismantling the staging. David was in constant communication with us after every open home and visits outside these hours. He remained unfailingly positive until the successful outcome.
From the moment I decided to sell my house I was fully supported by David. He took me through what was involved stage by stage and I really felt like I had a team player I could turn to with any questions or concerns. He and his wife Karen make an excellent team with Karen doing an exceptional job of turning my house into a dream home staged so that prospective buyers could see themselves living there. David dealt promptly with enquiries and continually updated me as new information came in. I went into the auction fully briefed on what to expect and emerged with a successful result! I would recommend him to any prospective vendors, and equally to any prospective buyers looking for an advocate working with them to find what they’re after.
