Requirements and search: We were looking for very specific attributes in a property with a tight budget when our financial adviser recommended Elaine Davies to us. When we met with Elaine we were very frustrated and disappointed. We had just been out bid on a property that we really liked, even though the agent had initially accepted our offer – we felt everything we liked was beyond our budget. We were unsure that we would get any real benefit from using New Road Property’s services as we felt we were quite capable of locating properties ourselves on line. Outcome: Elaine located a couple of off-market properties, one of which met just about every criteria we had. It was in the ideal location, had water views, was quiet and private yet close to cafes and transport. It was also well within our budget – we think we got it below market value. Recommend: All this within two weeks of meeting Elaine - we would never have obtained this property without her hard work and market knowledge.

Requirements and search: We were so happy with the service we received from Elaine. It was the first time we were buying a property and frankly the whole process was very stressful and disheartening. However Elaine kept us trucking on and never let the momentum stop. Outcome: We first heard of the house we bought via email from Elaine late Friday afternoon on the last day of our holiday in Japan. From our initial conversation with Elaine to actually purchasing the property was around 15 hours from start to finish (and that included flying back form Tokyo). Crazy! She had the lawyer review the contract on Friday night and a building/pest inspector waiting for us the next morning ahead of the auction. Also, we really appreciate her staying fully engaged up to settlement as if she hadn't been we would have had a few issues around the final inspection and the state of the property. Luckily for us she took the time to touch base with us and the estate agents as well as have a friendly word with the owners when we saw the house hadn't been cleaned as it should be. Recommend: We are both over the moon with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elaine!

Requirements and search: With my busy schedule, it was a logical decision to engage a buyer's agent when I made the decision to buy a property. Even though I didn't know Elaine before hand, she turned out to be the perfect buyer's agent for me. Elaine is passionate, professional and very approachable. She understood the brief to the "T" and I know I can always trust her for a genuine and honest opinion. She has the Client's best interest at all time and is extremely dedicated.  Outcome: Elaine was literally my right hand woman throughout the process. With her knowledge and network, she helped me find a dedicated team of professionals, including my solicitor, mortgage broker, building inspector and a structural engineer all with very short notice. She has made the entire journey simple and easy. As a result, we managed to find a place I can comfortably call my home in a very short period of time.  Recommend: I would definitely work with Elaine again with my next purchase, and would be more than happy to recommend her to any potential clients.

Requirements and search: Following the decision to engage a buyers agent and after interviews we were more than comfortable with our choice of Elaine and are very comfortable to provide any verbal references required. Outcome: As it turned out, the research, agent relationships and legwork that Elaine undertook enabled the identification of a great off-market opportunity if we moved fast. With some good speedy advice, due diligence and some clever negotiation and buying tactics the “forever” house was ours!! Within a year, very comparable sales, in the same street sold for 30-40% over the property we secured, showing the opportunity, advice and pace to get the deal done with Elaine was very valuable. Recommend: I would absolutely recommend Elaine as a buyers agent. Her attention to detail and persistence in one of the worst markets for buyers that Sydney has ever seen was above and beyond our expectations. I am happy to provide verbal references on what was money very well spent!!!

Requirements and search: After several fruitless months looking at houses all around the Inner East and Inner West of Sydney, my wife and I decided to take the plunge and engage a buyer's agent. After interviewing a few we chose Elaine. From the first weekend's viewings together through to the stage when we finally - after missing out quite a few times - got a house (thanks to Elaine's negotiations with the agent), Elaine's professionalism shone throughout. Outcome: It's not just that Elaine is excellent at what she does, though (and she is), it was her boundless optimism and good humour that kept us going a few times when we were nearly ready to pull out of the race! Recommend: I would not hesitate to recommend Elaine to anyone trying to break into the Sydney market.
