Dear Barbara, we had some interesting experiences with agents in the past. None of them have been anywhere near as competent and pleasant as you.
Thanks
— Steven & Annette, Bulli

We were so happy that we chose Barbara and the team from Seacliff to sell with. We had honest and reliable contact and Barbara went over and beyond to help us.
Totally recommended.
— Belinda Green, Coledale

I rented my property with Seacliff property since 2015. Philip was a fantastic manager. I experienced some hard times, one of them COVID. In my experience, Philip has a strong sense of integrity and honesty. Very refreshing.
A couple of months ago I sold my property with Seacliff Property. Barbara did an excellent job. It was a stressful time, I felt in good hands. I’m very happy with the sale.

Thank you immensely Philip and Barbara.
I recommend these two greatly.
— Leigh Pollock, Woonona

Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value

I had the worst house to sell in a pretty good location in Coledale.
Barbara and her team expertly guided us through the process and made it virtually stress free.

Her opinions were astute and she conducted the campaign exceptionally professionally.

Even her recommendation of solicitors at Prime was a smooth experience.
I feel our choice of real estate agent was very fortunate.
— Narelle Carr, LHD Coledale

Barbara - The Quiet Achiever

What a difference a day makes - for us it was the day we selected Barbara Wright (Seacliff Property) as our sales agent.

Having bought and sold several properties over the years in Sydney and other locations, our criteria for selecting an agent was simple - results results results! Thirroul is a very different place these days than when my family first settled here in the early 1930s. As a thriving seaside village commutable distance to Sydney, the lifestyle is enviable and the current number of real estate agents in Thirroul is testimony of a high demand, high value location. It was an easy decision to choose Barbara as our sales agent - her credentials are impeccable, she is a licensed valuer, her sales record is outstanding across all price ranges including luxury and prestige properties and her local knowledge is impressive as a resident and successful businesswoman in the Illawarra.

On a personal level there is much to appreciate in Barbara and we felt confident in putting our trust in her integrity, experience and professionalism. All of this is hard won in a sea of other agents that focus on their brand rather than their clients. Most of all - although it is an option - a good agent doesn’t need an auction to achieve record results - Barbara proves this consistently in guiding her clients towards the most effective strategy, which is demonstrated in her record of success.

We unreservedly recommend Barbara Wright and hold her in our highest regard.
— Joan & Julie, Woodland Avenue, Thirroul

Thank you Barbara for your outstanding work, negotiations and professionalism. You made the sale of our home a pleasant experience.
We now have a wonderful home to live in because of your thoughtfulness and personal service.
Thank you again. You are a pleasure to work with. Keep up the good work.
— Siz & Percy, Armagh Parade, Thirroul

Barbara was very professional and helpful throughout the selling process. I was impressed with attention to detail and immediate feedback.
My property was sold within specified timeframe and I would recommend Seacliff Property to others wishing to put their property on the market.
— Chris Quine, Harbord Street, Thirroul

Barbara has been very professional, helpful and a pleasure to deal with during the process of selling our property.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Barbara to others wanting to buy or sell a property.
— Chris & Sharon Hay, LHD Thirroul

Very professional, friendly and good local knowledge when buying our new home.
— Chris & Sharon Hay, Coledale

Barbara, your dedication and service in selling our property has been exemplary. Your service throughout the process was excellent and you were always immediately available to us. We were able to contact you at all times for your help and guidance. From start to finish your help in the process and your attention to detail made everything easier. Your professional and personal manner has been very much appreciated.
Best wishes and thank you Barbara.
— Stephen Davies, Bourke Street, North Wollongong

Dear Barbara,
Thank you so much for your dedicated service and selling our home in Coledale. The amount of local knowledge & your professional approach made it an easy choice to select Seacliff Property as our agents for this sale.
We were most impressed with the detailed analysis of the market at the time of our sale & the accuracy of the estimated property value.
I would highly recommend Barbara & Seacliff Property to anyone wanting to sell their home.
— Carla Waghorn, Cater Street, Coledale

Barbara Wright handled the sale of our home with consummate ease.There was immediate feedback after each viewing & Barbara was always available to take our calls plus take buyers through on Sundays & after hours. That in itself is rare these days, as most agents are 9am to 5pm & clock off at weekends. It was a great experience having Barbara as our agent, no hassle with no issues, our targets were met. We are delighted to recommend Barbara as a very honest & genuine agent.
Thank you for all your hard work....now go & take a Sunday off!!
— Philip & Michelle King, Bulli

Barbara delivered on every level. We found her very knowledgeable on the area, Council, and how and who to market the property to.
We are truly grateful to her for our fantastic sales result.
Couldn’t have been better!
— Karen Awad, Middle Heights Road, Coledale

Barbara Wright has just helped us to sell our parents home of over 40 years - it was a big undertaking for the family, and Barbara’s professionalism, local knowledge and experience helped to make it as simple a process as it could be. Barbara was available to us at all times for the many questions we had. She was unfailingly helpful and both styled and marketed the property beautifully. We are so happy we went with Seacliff Property over any other Agent - such personal attention, care and genuine friendliness was gratefully received. The sale was swift, Barbara went over and above what was needed and the entire transaction was made easy by Seacliff Property. We cannot recommend both Barbara and Seacliff Property highly enough. Thank you, Barbara.
— Tracy Pond, Paterson Road, Coalcliff

Thank you Barbara for handling all our queries promptly and professionally in the process of buying our dream home.
— Belinda & Connor, Hill Street, Austinmer

Seacliff have always been professional and attentive to both us (as owners) and our tenants. When we decided to sell the property, they gave us all the assistance and information we needed, then managed the sale with the same professionalism and over a difficult period, where values were decreasing and prospects few and far between.
— Greg & Adele Butler, Henley Road, Thirroul

We commend Seacliff’s Principal Barbara Wright and Property Manager Phillip King for
their professionalism, attention to detail and excellent communication with all parties
involved —— across the buying, leasing, strata management, selling, renovation, legal etc
requirements.
We could not have asked for better expertise and services.
— Dr Neville Lockhart and Dr Judy Mitchell, Tarrawanna

We have been here for 38 years. Things were getting a bit too much for us, so we have decided to downsize.
We went with Seacliff Property and Barbara was most helpful. She made everything a hell of a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Barbara’s property presentation in her marketing was spot on.
Barbara gave us a price she though the property would sell for and she delivered what she promised.
We got a very good price, more than we expected, and we are very happy with the result.
— Laurie & Sandra, Palmyra Avenue, Thirroul

Dear Barbara,
This is to let you know what a happy customer I am.

I knew from my 10 year association with you as my holiday letting agent how professional and expert your services have been. So I had no hesitation in giving you my Coalcliff home to be sold.
You gave me excellent advice throughout the sales period. You found me a wonderful make-over man and a decorator and you all worked together to present my property at its peak. Nothing was too difficult for you to resolve.

You handled the sales campaign superbly. I couldn’t have found a better Agent. I am deeply indebted to you because the sale price achieved has enabled me to relocate to an expensive Sydney Eastern suburb.

Many thanks Barbara!
I will continue to recommend your services.
Best regards
— Vivienne, Coalcliff

We have just bought our dream house through Barbara at Seacliff Property. We found Barbara very attentive, answering all our questions accurately and honestly.

Being new to the area Barbara’s extensive local knowledge was a great help in our decision making and helped us settle in.
We look forward to seeing Barbara again and recommend anyone looking to buy or sell contact her for advice.
— Matt & Diana, Austinmer

We would like to thank Barbara and her team for making our journey into home ownership a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Barbara is open, honest and transparent and goes above and beyond.

We would willingly recommend Seacliff Property to anyone chasing a great real estate experience in the future.
— Ross & Heather, Thirroul

Thank you Barbara and your team for your support and professionalism through what could have been a much more stressful process.
Your sincerity, authenticity and the effort you put in to helping us sell the property during a very difficult time was and is, greatly appreciated.
We have and will continue to recommend you to anyone we encounter in the property market as “the best in the business”.
— Sandra & Andrew - Tasman Parade, Thirroul

It would be remiss of me if I did not pay my due respect and appreciation to Seacliff Property. Your office has been truly outstanding in managing my property over the years. The care is always dependable and the communication is brilliant.
In particular, Philip’s level of service has met & exceeded my expectations. It was totally comforting knowing that Philip was managing my house as if it were his own home. What a wonderful asset to your business.
I will continue to spread the good word about Seacliff and I wish you more success
— Matt - LHD, Thirroul

I am incredibly thankful to Barbara and her team at Seacliff Property Thirroul for selling my beautiful home. Selling a house can be a very stressful process, but Barbara and her team made every effort to make that process as easy, efficient and organised for me as possible.
I always felt that I was in good hands as she dealt with me and my house on an individual basis and created a marketing plan that was both sympathetic and appropriate for my home.
Barbara is also a very warm and approachable person and she always made herself available to me to answer any questions or to discuss any issues that I had. This was extremely reassuring for me and I knew that I had picked the right person and team to sell my home.
I am so happy with the outcome and the sale of my home. I had such a positive experience selling my house and I would highly recommend Barbara and her team to anyone who is considering selling their home.
— Sandra - Bean Street, Thirroul

Hello Philip,
I find the Seacliff Property Agency thoroughly above board.
The dealings I have had with your colleagues and yourself have been thoroughly professional.
I have found you to be a person who is interested in his portfolio and seems to be enjoying his work. You are there for your clients and your opinions are always there for the benefit and interest of your clients.
You have good people’s skill and have good judgment of people’s characters and personalities.
You are always available and get the job done quickly and without fuss.
What more can I say - 10/10.
Cheers
— Seng - Raymond Road, Thirroul

Our experience with Barbara and her team was very positive. We are really, really happy with the outcome and we look forward to moving on.

We really appreciated the way that Barbara and her staff put in the effort to showcase our house. The marketing was really good, especially the drone video, attracting many buyers to the area.

It was a huge decision to sell our home after 42 years we have been here for. It has been emotional but we are very happy with the outcome.

With Barbara living in the area and having a fantastic knowledge of the area, and being able to pass on her knowledge and the benefits of the area to the potential buyers was of huge benefit to us.

We had a number of interested buyers and we got a really great price and we are very happy with the outcome.

Thank you Barbara
— John & Lorraine - Cater Street, Coledale

Well it was fourth time lucky when we changed to Seacliff Property. We finally got what we were promised and that was a professional organisation who practiced what they preached. Barbara believed in our products (sold 2 houses within months of each other) and there was none of the:
Quote 1 “Oh you have to drop your price, that is what the market is telling us”.
Quote 2 “If you sell at this price, you can make up the difference in interest”.
Quote 3 “Everyone in the office thinks you are stupid not taking this offer”.
Barbara actually achieved an extra $1.2million dollars for the 2 homes compared to 4 other agencies, who just wanted quick sales by dropping the price and over the top commissions. It was also very apparent that people would listen to Barbara, as they respected the fact she is a fully qualified valuer. This allowed Barbara to converse at a high level with confidence knowing the two homes were valued and priced correctly. It makes a huge difference when your actual agent believes in the property.
Barbara has also helped us accessing information on potential homes for us to purchase so again thanks Barbara.
I have no hesitation in recommending Seacliff Property Thirroul and Barbara Wright and staff, because we know from experience they will deliver everything promised and she will do it her way, in a caring, considerate and professional manner.
We also had one house rented through Seacliff Property with Phil King. He was organised, very professional and diligent.
— Peter & Sally - LHD Austinmer

I have dealt with the team at Seacliff Property Thirroul coming on a number of years now in which they have not only managed my property in Thirroul but also provided me with a quick and successful sale.
Phil King has been my property manger for over a year now. From the start he has dealt with every issue that has arisen professionally and from what my end seems effortless, even though I’m sure at times has been not so easy to resolve. He has always been approachable and friendly. Any property I acquire in the future I will gladly hand to Phil for management.
Barbara Wright recently sold my property in Thirroul for me. She shown full professionalism in the whole experience from start to finish giving myself much assurance during my first property sale. Barbara has a very true and localised eye for exactly what the market is doing and knows precisely what to expect, from what I’ve seen, in the Northern Wollongong market. I really do highly recommend Barbara for property sales as I don’t believe some local property’s sell for their true value, and from my experience I’ve only witnessed happy clients from both ends of the sale when dealing with Seacliff property.
— David - The Lookout, Thirroul

I first came into contact with Seacliff Property when I rented out my investment property. They look after everything really well. When I came to sell it I spoke to Barbara and she was excellent. She understood our needs, the market and also negotiated a great price.
Communication was excellent. I would without a doubt recommend Seacliff Property for all your property needs!
— Dan & Jahna - Balgownie Road, Balgownie

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Barbara and her team for their professionalism, courtesy and time.
Thank you for everything, you have been very understanding throughout the whole process and I really appreciate your professionalism during what has been an immensely trying time.
I will willingly recommend you to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the future.
— Catherina - Foothills Road, Corrimal

 
 
Philip King and the team at Seacliff Property have been responsible for leasing out our attached unit at Austinmer for the past few years. In that time Philip has given us a first rate service to ensure that we always had the best tenants available.
With all our dealings with Philip, we have found him to always endeavour to provide both our tenants and ourselves with a service that has always been both courteous and professional, spiced with a good deal of Irish charm. For his diligence in this regard, we cannot recommend Phillip too highly to anyone looking for a first class Property Manager.
— Kevin & Judith - Hill Street, Austinmer

Our experience with Barbara was fantastic and we are extremely happy with the outcome. Barbara was very professional in every respect. She took interest in the property from the start, she walked through the acreage in the bush to get to know it.
We were very impressed with the marketing, the video brought in more buyers from Sydney and other areas, who simply fell in love with the location.
Barbara was always available, 24/7, when most real estate agents aren’t open on the weekends, or won’t take your call.
She knows the area very well and can sell the benefits of living here, and she was great interacting with the buyers. We previously engaged two other agents, with no interest and no viewings. It was an unusual property to sell and it required some effort and imagination to attract buyers. When Barbara took us on board, we haven’t looked back, she is just so professional. She will be the first person we will come to if we have to sell or buy another property.
We have lived here for 30 years and we had an idea in our heads what it was worth, and we got the price we wanted ($1.9m). Barbara sold the property the way we wanted it to be sold and we really appreciate the way she handled our home, with respect. We can now get on with the rest of our lives.
Thank you Barbara
— Chris & Deb - Buttenshaw Drive, Austinmer

Dear Philip,
Thank you for a most pleasant lease. You and your team were always approachable and friendly and always came with a positive and energetic attitude.
This has been by far my best renting experience, and I hope to lease off you again in the future
— Monique - Keira Street, North Wollongong

Dear Barbara,
Your service was outstanding!
You exceeded my expectations! Everything happened smoothly and quickly.
You were true to your word. Not pushy.
You listened to my needs.
You were available to me any time of the day.
Your team and the photographers were also very friendly and professional.
My dream has been realised.
Thank you so much!
— Skye - Princes Highway, Russell Vale

As a landlord of a number of properties I found Philip King a very professional, efficient and effective property manager.
Nothing is too difficult for him and he is very approachable and always has the time to spend discussing issues with me.
Philip always give his best, i.e. 100% plus; and even my tenants speak very highly of him.
I am more than pleased that I have found someone who manages my properties with great pride and enthusiasm: as if it he was managing his own.
Seacliff agency is also awesome.
Keep up the good work guys
— Colin - Thirroul & Austinmer

Barbara Wright from Seacliff Property handled the sale of our property. We found Barbara to be very professional and caring. She was available at all times, 7 days a week, often after hours, spending many Sundays showing our property to qualified buyers. We could call her any time and she was always there for us.
Barbara represented our interest at all times, while we felt that other agents we dealt with previously worked for the buyers and not for us. She negotiated with the buyers and with the selling agent of the property we were purchasing, to make sure that we had a win-win situation for all involved. We were amazed by how resourceful she was when it came to knowing what steps to take and giving us the right advice we needed.
Barbara’s advice on marketing the property was spot on. With the video of the house we had an enormous amount of enquiries and very favourable feedback from the buyers. We previously spent thousands of dollars with other agents with no result, while Barbara’s approach was to do a minimum of low cost & high impact marketing. She negotiated a great selling price for us and we were very happy with the outcome.
Thank you Barbara
— Kevin & Brigitte - Highlands Parade, Bulli

Dear Barbara,
Hugh and I would like to thank you for selling our house in Austinmer. The fact that you brought the buyers to us was wonderful, thus eliminating advertising costs and minimising the stress that comes with selling a house.
We feel that you worked for us to achieve the best result throughout the whole process and we thank you once again for your help in the sale of our home.
— Hugh & Mary - Hill Street, Austinmer

Dear Barbara,
We were very impressed with the presentation of our home on the Internet and felt that a great deal of thought and effort had been put into it. This presentation we feel sure was responsible for the considerable number of people coming through our house. With 17 inspections during the first open house, we had two good offers in the first week on the market. You managed to negotiate the price we never thought was possible, as our property was not the type to appeal to your standard family buyers. The video made it look absolutely stunning, emphasizing features we never thought of as selling points. Everybody loved the video, even our relatives oversees fell in love with it.
The communication was great all the way through. It was very important to us to be able to have prompt contact with your office at all times, as selling ones home can be quite a stressful time, and the need to have questions answered quickly helps to alleviate some of that stress.
We would most definitely recommend you to all sellers, family and friends.
— Michael & Hazel - Highlands Parade, Bulli

Dear Barbara,
Karen and I would like to say thank you for your professional and accurate assessment and sale of our Austinmer townhouse! We certainly made the right choice to use your expertise.
Your evaluation placed the property value higher than our initial enquiry but we were confident that you had the experience to get the value right. Your sales material is polished professional and the aerial video is fantastic. It really does allow interested parties to see exactly where a property sits geographically. Your communication about buyers is excellent, so we were always in the loop about who was interested.
Your access to Sydney buyers become obvious with so many visitors coming down during open house inspections. I also know that your good rapport with our tenant was key to allowing open houses to occur and this was critical to the sale.
The culmination of all your work was realised for us with a sale at the asking price! We will certainly recommend you and your team to anyone we know selling. (I will even field a call if you want!) Thank you again Barbara.
— Will & Karen - Mountain Road, Austinmer

Hi Philip,

Just a quick note to say how much we appreciate having the repairs taken care of so promptly.
I also want to mention how impressed I am with the tradesmen you have used. The electrician had everything fixed within five minutes - faulty hob, oven light out (still don’t know how he managed it so effortlessly after numerous others had tried), and the oven door hinges sorted, so the door now once again closes firmly.
(Frank Rodriguez – Assured Appliances)
And the plumber - it was above and beyond the service I expected to have him up on the roof inspecting the gutters we could not get to after mentioning how water came through the ceiling and around the windows when it rains heavily.
I understand that he found a build-up of leaves out of sight and now that has been taken care of I will not have to worry about shifting furniture and lying towels around the ranch slider door frame the next time it buckets down.
(Mark Newman – Plumber)
It has made my day.
Thanks again
— Simone - Black Diamond Place, Bulli

Barbara and the Seacliff Property team have provided exceptional service. I live several hours away from Austinmer and Barbara looked after many aspects of readying the property for market and keeping me up to date with progress. Her understanding of the local market and advice on selling was right on. A good experience all round.
Thanks Barbara
— James - LHD, Austinmer

Dear Barbara,
We would like to thank you very much for the wonderful experience in selling our home for a record price. We found you to be honest, enthusiastic, energetic and charming.
Your incredible service and effort was second to none. We were just fascinated with your capabilities in every aspect from marketing, all the way to negotiating and selling. Not once have you doubted the ability to sell our home for the price we wanted and have never put the property down in any way to just get a sale.
Barbara, you have left us with no choice but to continue doing business with you in the future.
We thank you once again for all your effort and the wonderful fulfilling experience in selling our property for a record price.
— Michael & Manal - George Fuller Drive, Figtree

Our experience with you, Barbara was very good. You were very hard working and absolutely dedicated to selling our property.
Your marketing has certainly worked and you defied all predictions on selling prices on the west side of the railway line.
Selling escarpment property at this time of the year can be very tricky and the weather has not been to our advantage. You persisted through some very vile weather to achieve a great result for us.
Thank you
— Rob & Josie - Hill Street, Austinmer

Dear Barbara,
Trevor and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help in selling our beautiful home. Your experience and professionalism far exceeded any expectations we had. I know at times you were probably ready to give up on us – a lot of agents would have! However, you were unfailingly patient, resourceful, diligent and thorough! And a very, very creative problem solver. We are certain you made some behind the scenes efforts that we did not see and we thank you for those as well.
When the time came to negotiate, we truly felt that you were on our side and we are
genuinely grateful to have had such a patient, reassuring optimistic agent.
And you helped us find a lovely villa to buy and you negotiated with other agents to make sure we could have successful simultaneous sale and purchase.
Perhaps, what we appreciated most of all was your honesty and integrity. You have clients and friends for life with both Trevor and myself.
— Trevor & Rasheeda - Garden Avenue, Figtree

My experience with Barbara was very positive. Barbara was always very honest, helpful and informative throughout the process of selling my house. There was never any pressure to drop my original price.
Barbara stayed true to her word, persevered and was able to obtain the asking price.
The property was never advertised for sale, Barbara was only bringing serious buyers from her database without wasting my time.
Thanks Barbara, for a job well done!
— Kazie - Hill Street, Austinmer

Hi Barbara
I thought I would let you know how happy Kim and I are with the service we have received from you and your team at Seacliff Property. Your help, professional advice and customer service have all been beyond our expectations.
The effort put into marketing the property to attract the right buyer, especially the video, was outstanding.
I think it is rare today that time permits people to deliver the level of service that you have, and I thank you very much indeed. You have gone beyond what was necessary.
— Rod & Kim - Hill Street, Austinmer
Hi Philip,
I’m happy with the service provided and my experience with your agency in managing my property. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you as a property manager to anyone.
Thanks
— Ross - Brickworks Avenue, McCauley Beach

We are very happy with the sale of our home. Barbara Wright was always very professional and satisfied all our requests to the best of her ability.
She was able to achieve the sale price, which far exceeded our expectations. In fact she negotiated $60,000 more than what we expected and what the property was valued by other agents. This required a massive effort of her part to close the sale without compromising the result. We felt she pulled many strings and used her expertise as a valuer to make things happen.
She also used a very professional team of photographers, who paid attention to detail to present our property in the best way they could, in the photos and in the floorplan.
We would certainly recommend Seacliff Property and Barbara Wright to any home sellers. Her office team are always very friendly and easy to contact and work with.
Thank you very much for a fantastic experience.
— Lidia & Greg - Gwyther Avenue, Bulli

Dear Philip,
Thank you for all your assistance during my tenancy of 1 Dunne Street, Austinmer.
Having dealt with quite a number of Property Managers over a lengthy period, I must say your attention to any problems which occurred was exemplary. You’re definitely top of the list so far!
Thank you again, and all the best. I will definitely be in touch if I return to Austinmer.
— Robyn - Dunne Street, Austinmer

Dear Barbara,
I am writing to thank you for the sale of my house, which was done so professionally and so efficiently.
It was like a breath of fresh air, to have an agent I could trust to take over and design a strategy that would work in securing the sale quickly. My house was on the market with another agent for over four months, and all that time the agent conditioned me trying to make a sale without putting the necessary effort that was required.
With you in charge there was no high pressure selling, and all advice you have given me was spot on. I was sure that you always worked in my best interest, and you worked beyond and above your call of duty, following every opportunity with the potential buyers, working after hours and Sundays to close the sale.
This was very important to me, being away and looking after my elderly father and trying to sort out family matters, I had no time to keep up with the sale. You kept me fully informed all the way through and managed to relieve a lot of the stress I was under.
I can’t praise you highly enough Barbara, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
— John - National Avenue, Bulli

Barbara Wright is an accomplished property agent who works hard for the vendor. Barbara is responsive an efficient. Upon contacting her for the first time we had organised a property appraisal which set the wheels of my sale in motion. Being a first time seller Barbara helped to step me through the sale process, organised my conveyancer, photographer and suggested contacts for cleaning and maintenance.
Although my property had the added complication of being tenanted at the time, Barbara and the team at Seacliff Property ensured a smooth processes negotiating suitable inspection times. This leads me to note that only one open-house inspection was required to find enough buyers to push my sale well above my expectations ($41,000 above the asking price).
So, just as Barbara was recommended to me, I will gladly do likewise.
— Josh - Kialoa Road, East Woonona

Barbara and the team at Seacliff Property are honest and reliable and a pleasure to do business with - they are definitely not your average real estate agency. Their commitment to you is to find the right buyer for your property rather than just any buyer; meaning a happy result all around.
We are very satisfied with the process and the outcome of our sale. I would thoroughly recommend Barbara for professional, high quality service and a great result ($30,000 above the asking price).
We bought and sold through Barbara twice before and we will continue to do business with her in the future.
— Kylie - Wilford Street, Corrimal

Dear Barbara,
I am writing to thank and congratulate you, on the sale of my house, which was done so efficiently and effectively.
I knew that putting a house that could only be sold as a weekender, on the market at the end of summer, was always going to be a risky proposition. Accordingly, I was very pleased when after a relatively short time, you informed me that you had received an offer not short off my asking price. I was delighted when, a few hours later, you informed me that you had successfully negotiated to sell the house at the full asking price.
You took all possible steps to market the property in the most advantageous way. You have impressed me with your enthusiasm, conscientiousness and courtesy. You kept me fully informed as to the progress of the sale at all times.
I have had a lot to do with real estate agents over the last 45 years. I practiced as solicitor in Sydney for many years and I also presided over many thousands of tenancy disputes as a member of the Consumer Tenancy and Trader Tribunal and the Residential Tenancies Tribunal for 15 years. I have also bought and sold quite a number of houses. I have thus seen the best and worst of real estate agents over a long time and you are one of the best.
My very best wishes for the future
— Tom - Morrison Avenue, Wombarra

We are writing to give you the feedback about how happy we have been with your management of the property over the years. You have dealt promptly and efficiently with all the issues that have arisen. In particular, the fact that you have access to a handyman who can diagnose problems and advise on action is a big plus for an owner. All managing agents should have this - but most don’t.
You have also been very good at navigating the different expectations of tenant and landlord. Very impressive. We would be pleased to recommend you to any landlord looking for a managing agent.
Many thanks for your work over the years.
— Rob & Chris - Willcath Street, Bulli

Philip King and the team at Seacliff Property have been responsible for leasing out our attached unit at Austinmer for the past few years. In that time Philip has given us a first rate service to ensure that we always had the best tenants available.
With all our dealings with Philip, we have found him to always endeavour to provide both our tenants and ourselves with a service that has always been both courteous and professional, spiced with a good deal of Irish charm.
For his diligence in this regard, we cannot recommend Phillip too highly to anyone looking for a first class Property Manager
— Kevin - Hill Street, Austinmer

My property was quite difficult to sell – it took longer than expected and there were a few letdowns from keen buyers. I was very impressed by Barbara’s cheerful perseverance and it eventually paid off.
In my initial meeting with Barbara, when I was buying another property, I was impressed by her up front honesty and ethical approach and lack of ‘pushiness’.
I have been very happy dealing with her both when buying and when selling.
— Jill - Henley Road, Thirroul

I listed my townhouse with Barbara Wright for sale by private treaty. From the outset Barbara was very professional, polite and also worked around my schedule when organising photos and meetings to discuss the approach that we would take to sell the property.
The photos looked great and the online marketing campaign recommended by Barbara resulted in more than 12 genuine buyers inspecting the property on the first open house. Because of the interest Barbara stayed at the open house well after the advertised time in order to spend time with each potential buyer. That night, which was a Saturday, Barbara continued to discuss the sale with the interested parties eventually obtaining an offer $10,000.00 above the price I was happy to sell the property for. The following Monday morning the contracts were exchanged with no cooling off period meaning that I could start looking for a new house to buy without any worries.
I would strongly recommend Barbara and Seacliff Property to anyone thinking of selling. I am sure that I would not have obtained such a great result without her advice and skills in negotiating the sale and would happily use her services again in the future.
— Jenny - Daisy Street, Fairy Meadow

Seacliff Property have been managing our two rental properties for about 8 years. They chose excellent tenants for us, and continue to look after both ourselves as landlords, and the tenants - such that the tenants are happy to stay, and we are very happy to have them stay.
When things went wrong (eg violent storm damage to one property) they worked quickly and effectively to sort out repairs, coordinate with our insurance company etc. As we live overseas, it is vital for us to trust our property manager to care for our assets in our absence. I highly recommend Wiseberry to anyone considering renting their property.
— Karen - Asquith Street, Austinmer

We had been looking for a home for approx 3 months, we were wanting Austinmer or Thirroul as our location. We live in the Sutherland Shire so we did not know any agents in the Thirroul area. We had dealings with a few other agents, it seemed the normal practice was not to get back to us when we put an offer in, another problem was not being up front with prices on homes.
One Saturday we went to an open house, this was when we met Barbara for the first time, it turned out to be the house we bought. We had a second inspection that afternoon, put in an offer, Barbara submitted the offer over her mobile while we were there, the vendor accepted the offer there and then, we exchanged contracts the next week. It was all too easy. Barbara was up front, honest and very ethical. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home.
Thank you very much Barbara.

I appointed Philip King from Seacliff Property Thirroul to offer the block of 3 units for lease when the renovation was completed.
The renovation is completed in two stages. The unit 1 & 2 was renovated first, while the unit 3 was occupied by an existing tenant inherited from the previous owner. Unit 3 was renovated 4 months after. Given the challenges in managing 3 units in difference stages of renovation I required an agent that would “look outside the square” to find the tenants upon completion of renovation work.
The first 2 units leased to great tenants with success upon renovation completed.
My decision (during purchase of the property) to keep the existing tenant at Unit 3 turned out to be my worse decision as an investment as this existing tenant is a horror tenant, who refuse to pay rent nor move out from the property. I prepared for the worst, an expansive and length process of eviction.
Fortunately, a great property manager made a difference here. Philip’s ability to identify the issue and potential future damages quickly and convinced me to proceed to commence the eviction process promptly.
From tribunal to granted warrant, and from sheriff appointment to tenant eviction all in accordance with the legislation. During the eviction process, Philip was able to handle all matters, from tribunal to granted warrant, and from sheriff appointment to tenant eviction all as per the timeline and requirements of legislation. It is a stress-free process to me and the outcome is the best you could achieved in eviction process. This unit 3 was renovation and leased out by Philip with great success.
Philip’s experience and knowledge in local market and his ability in property management resulted in a great outcome in excess of expectations and promptly.
Overall I was more than satisfied with the professionalism and commitment shown to achieve an excellent result from Philip.

Our investment property has been managed by Seacliff Property, for nearly three years. During that time, we have been extremely happy with the service provided. We cannot fault the efficiency with which the ongoing administration of the property has been carried out, and we were particularly impressed with how proactive and understanding the staff was when it came to finding suitable new tenants for the property.
In addition to providing great service on matters directly related to the management of our property, they have been able to provide us with more general advice; for example to help clarify the new tenancy laws for us, and helped us to make an informed decision about the viability of having some renovation work done on the property.
In summary, I would highly recommend Seacliff Property to anyone seeking to have an investment property managed.
— Glenn & Agnes - Robinsville Crescent, Thirroul

I recently sold my house through Seacliff Property. I never sold a property before, this was our family home for over forty years and it held many happy and sad memories. However, the time had come when I had to move on and make the hard decision to sell my home.
Choosing an agent wasn’t easy, with so many calling and sending letters all the time. I chose Seacliff because of the personable and caring manner they showed in all our dealings, as well as their professional approach and determination to get the best result for me. Barbara fought on my behalf to negotiate a higher price than I expected, with integrity and dedication that was admirable and comforting to me.
I have no hesitation in recommending Seacliff Property to anybody thinking of selling their home and wanting their agent to do a first class job.
— Peter - Organs Road, Bulli

The team at Seacliff have been managing our investment property for years. During this time the property has never been vacant and the quality of tenants has been outstanding with no problems at all. Sadly we were forced to sell the property and decided to engage Barbara after being impressed by her passion and unique selling proposition.
Barbara’s performance was outstanding; her work involved in getting the property ready for sale was way above any expected performance.
Barbara and her team did everything possible to get the best sale price on our house. I cannot recommend them more highly.
— Neil - Coast Street, Thirroul

We engaged Barbara Wright as our agent for the sale of our house at Sandon Point.
From the start to the end we have found Barbara both caring and professional. Her reliability and determination to provide us with the best possible result were exceptional.
We were kept up-to-date on the status of the process and throughout the entire process Barbara provided us with feedback.
We have found Barbara’s services exceptional and would be more than happy to engage her again or recommend her to any prospective seller or buyer.
— Ron & Elke - Sandon Point

Barbara worked tirelessly, professionally and with dedication, most times beyond the call of duty. Barbara was sensitive and respectful of my needs during the entire period of sale making it as stress free an experience for us as possible. Nothing was too much trouble for Barbara.
What I admired mostly about Barbara was her commitment to both her profession and her humanity and sensitivity towards us!
We would highly recommend her services to our friends and acquaintances.
You are an asset to your profession.
Once again Barb I thank you.
— Elaine - LHD, Wombarra

Dear Barbara
I’m writing to thank you on the quick sale of our property.
We appreciated all the hard work you put in to secure a sale for us.
We both have found you to be a very caring, professional, understanding and flexible agent. You kept us updated during the whole process and your determination in the end got us a result by securing a sale above our asking price.
The marketing of the property was second to none, and having the listing always at the top of Realestate.com.au, I believed help secure our sale. We were also extremely impressed with your negotiation skills.
We thank you also for finding us our new property, it has been a pleasure to deal with you and your staff and I wish you all the best in the future.
— Shannon & Chrstina - Figtree

We found Barbara Wright and all the staff at Seacliff Property to be very professional and helpful. We were impressed by Barbara’s approach to selling and would definitely use this office to sell a property in the future. Barbara’s local knowledge and straight down-the-line nature made the experience of purchasing as painless as it could be. Thank you.
(when Buying)
Barbara and the Seacliff Property team did an exceptional job selling our property. Barbara went above and beyond the call of duty trying to co-ordinate a difficult simultaneous exchange over the holiday period – and for that we are very grateful. We have no hesitation in recommending Barbara and the Seacliff Property team.
(when Selling)
— Kylie & Martin - Pit Road, Wombarra

We had originally thought that we could sell our Wombarra home privately. However, a very timely letterbox drop put us in contact with Barbara Wright. I am glad I did touch base! Barbara methodically explained the virtues of hiring a professional agent, the selling process, and a synopsis of recent sales in the area and other data. Barbara’s professional approach won us over, and so did her integrity and positive attitude.
The hallmark of this agent is her integrity and her communications skills. Barbara kept us fully informed about the potential buyers coming through our property and other issues at every step. Barbara worked tirelessly at generating interest in the property that resulted in a successful sale for us.
There was one final twist to all of this. The day before settlement, a large tree some three stories high fell on our neighbour’s horse paddock. We had already located to Queensland and could not attend this. Barbara’s support staff stepped in and guided us through a resolution, ensuring the settlement proceeded without delay and to the satisfaction of the new owners.
Well done Seacliff, and particularly Barbara.
— Peter - Pit Road, Wombarra

I’ve owned my property for the past 12 years. Five years ago I moved to Canada and I chose Seacliff Property to manage my property as a rental.
They are very efficient and helpful and have regularly updated me about my property via email and whenever I needed more information. It has made owning and looking after a rental property from another country much easier
— Katherine - Russell Street, Woonona

Dear Barbara,
We would like to thank you for selling our home at Coledale. You did a great job, even though it was a tough market. We would highly recommend you to any of our friends and acquaintances.
Your friendly and professional manner made it a pleasure to deal with you.
I was impressed with the advertising and marketing of our property and how approachable and personable you were.
Thank you and farewell.
— Deanne & Mark - Young Street, Coledale

Dear Barbara,
I am writing to thank you for the work you put into selling my mother’s property in Wombarra. It has not been an easy property to sell due to the amount of work required to be done, as well as falling property market we had found ourselves in.
I am absolutely astounded at your level of integrity and professionalism and your will to fight on my behalf. I can’t believe that after I accepted a price and was about to exchange contracts, you were still determined to fight for a better buyer and succeed in negotiating a higher selling price with another purchaser than I was prepared to accept and exchange contracts on ($45,000 more).
Barbara, I want to sincerely say to you: “thank you, thank you, thank you”. Not having had much experience with real estate agents, I can’t believe that I was lucky enough to have selected the best agent in the area. You have a great reputation and now I experienced first hand why. And what they all say about you is true.
I also would like to say thank you not only for the professional Barbara Wright but for the wonderful, caring and also sensitive Barbara Wright. For me the thought of selling my mother’s family home was very daunting and emotional. You made the process stress free and treated me with care, respect and dignity at all times. And for this I say thank you once more. Good luck for the future.
— Stan - Morrison Avenue, Wombarra

Malcolm and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the professional service you and your team gave us during the sale of our family home. Your dedication was very impressive; all of the team at Seacliff Property provided us with fantastic service which was above and beyond what we both expected. We were kept well informed during the whole process, which made us very comfortable during what can be a very daunting experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending Seacliff Property to anybody who may be considering selling their home.
— Justine & Malcolm - Keerong Avenue, Russell Vale

I rate Barbara’s service highly, for these reasons:
• diligence
• integrity
• competence
• frank discussion
• knowledge of real estate and market
• affability
I would highly recommend her to others.
— Peter - Pass Avenue, Thirroul

Dear Barbara,
I want to thank you for all your hard work involved in selling my property. You were recommended by a family member as the best agent in the area and he was not wrong.
You worked tirelessly in finding the right buyer for my home and you achieved a great outcome in today’s tough market. Your dedication, perseverance and professionalism are admirable. There were times when you could have given up, lost interest, or found an easier listing, but you kept going like my property was the most important listing in your portfolio.
You were also friendly, approachable and good to talk to, making it a pleasure to do business with you.
You also made sure that the buyer was happy and well looked after, making it a win-win situation for all involved.
Thank you again for helping to realise my dream of moving to another area to retire to.
— Michael - Preston Street, Figtree

We were very nervous about selling our home until we met Barbara. Right from the start she showed a passion about our house – same as what we felt. Barbara did a brilliant pre-presentation even though she knew it maybe a while until we sold our house.
As it turned out it was not long as so she jumped into action straight away for us. Everything Barbara promised she delivered.
The house went on the market fast, like we wanted, it was sold, and Barbara got us the price we were very happy with.
We would strongly recommend Barbara Wright to anyone even just thinking of selling their house, she is brilliant and very professional.
— Judi & Neil - Norman Street, Fairy Meadow

Barbara sold my villa in Bellambi. She made me a very happy man, as she not only found a right buyer for my villa in a tough market, she also helped me buy a lovely house in South Kempsey. I didn’t believe her when she said her service doesn’t end on selling my home but on making sure I have another home to move into.
She liased with an agent in Kempsey, after locating a home I liked, and organised everything for me, including a removalist. She also made sure that all my services were connected on my arrival, so after travelling for many hours I could make a cup of tea and be comfortable.
I have never met an agent like Barbara, she will be fondly remembered as a truly caring professional, who goes beyond a call of duty to help others.
Well done Barbara.
— Eric - Cawley Street, Bellambi

Seacliff Property has given us excellent service and can be highly recommeded. The staff were very personable and a pleasure to deal with. They have been excellent in communicating with us:
- Timely responses on tenants matters.
- Dealing effectively with a difficult neighbour adjoining our investment property.
- Dealing quickly with maintenance issues and keeping tenants informed.
- Carrying out regular property inspections, so that our property is maintained in good order.
Helping us with the names of contractors for our investment property garage, which Council required we move.
— Vicky & Peter - Squires Crescent, Colecale

We first met Barbara Wright as buyers in this area and we found she was the only agent that followed us up for feedback after every inspection.
She displayed a genuine friendliness and integrity and was the obvious choice when it came time for us to sell.
She went to extraordinary lengths to help us achieve our price in a tough market at the time.
— Greg (seller) - Goodrich Street, Scarborough
I liked the fact Barbara is not a pushy salesperson. It made me feel comfortable in the whole process with no added pressure.
— Tony (buyer) - Goodrich Street, Scarborough

Dear Barbara,
Thank you for all the effort you put into selling our family home. You were resourceful and proactive in making sure we attracted the right buyers for our unique property. Your marketing was amazing and has made our home look a million dollars!
You made yourself available 24/7, when local agents don’t answer their phones on Sundays and after hours, we know because we tried it when we were looking to buy in the area.
Wishing you all the best and we will use your services again, wherever we live.
We are very happy to recommend you to any future home sellers.
— Ed & Kelly - Kirrang Avenue, Mangerton

Meagan and I would like to congratulate Barbara Wright and all the staff at Seacliff Property on the sale of our home. The selling prices was well beyond what we thought was possible to achieve, giving credit to Barbara’s negotiating skills.
Barbara is indeed a professional real estate agent and made herself available whenever we needed her.
To sell a home in which you have lived for 27 years and raised a family is a very stressful experience, and thanks to Barbara and her patience and professionalism the process was made tolerable.
We are certainly very grateful for Barbara’s guidance and support.
— David & Megan - Hewitts Avenue, Thirroul

Just a few lines to thank you for all your work you have done on my behalf since I switched my Thirroul rental property from another agent over to you.
You have been thorough and diligent in managing my unit, keeping it in good condition and obtaining the right people for any necessary maintenance work.
I have not had a worry since you took over the management of my unit.
— Bruce & Elaine - LHD Thirroul

As an owner of a property in Stanwell Park, which you have managed for me for in excess of five years, I would like to thank you for your professional service that you have afforded to me during that time.
You have always provided me with very professional advice regarding rentals, timely repairs and good feedback. The calibre of the tenants you have chosen for me have been excellent, who have paid their rent on time and looked after my property.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective landlord as a managing agent
— Christopher - Murrawar Road, Stanwell Park

— Chris & Vicky - Phillip Street, Thirroul

My personal contact with this agency has been of short duration. My daughter has been the person most involved. She and her husband had recently sold one house and purchased another in Thirroul through this office.
Stephanie contacted Barbara in the first instance because I live in The Blue Mountains and also she had been very satisfied with the treatment they had received.
Fortunately the first property we were shown by Barbara proved very suitable and the purchase is getting ahead smoothly. I felt I was dealt with in a highly professional manner and also with courtesy and kindness. Thank you very much.
— Mrs Leaver - LHD Thirroul

Having owned several rental properties in various areas I know what I like in a property manager. Wiseberry Seacliff have managed my property over 6 years to a very high standard and ensured that any maintenance at the property was completed in a timely and efficient manner.
Payments were made on time and with ease and I found it easy to talk to the staff about anything to do with the property. I have no hesitation in recommending Wiseberry Seacliff Thirroul to others looking to lease.
When the time was right Barbara sold my place and I was very impressed with the quality of service Barbara offered. She was very upfront about fees and throughout the selling process Barbara kept me up to date about the potential buyers through regular phone calls and emails.
I was always given an update after an open house and I know Barbara always followed up on leads. I felt that Barbara went over and above what was called upon to sell the house.
Thanks for managing and selling my place for me Barbara.
