Testimonials
- Paul and I cannot thank you enough for the way in which you handled the recent sale of our property. We were hopeful of a quick sale, but never did we think it would happen within three weeks! When it came time to pick a real estate agent, the choice was simple. Looking around Riverside Gardens we noticed that Keyes & Co properties didn't remain on the market for very long. As we were going to be renting while our house was on the market, a quick sale was important to us. As this was the first time we had sold a house, we were a little nervous about the process - the costs involved, the sometimes unflattering stereotypes of real estate agents and the general fear of the unknown. However, all of our concerns were put to rest upon meeting Damien. Damien's relaxed yet incredibly professional approach made the whole process a breeze. We never felt pushed or rushed into making a decision. From the advertising proofs to the presentation of offers, we were always kept informed and involved through the process. The Keyes and Co office team are also incredibly professional and helpful. They were great at keeping us informed of key milestones and following up any outstanding matters. And as for the thank you present hamper that we received on settlement?!? Seriously impressive and delicious! Thank you all again. It was an absolute pleasure and we cannot praise you enough. (Aimee and Paul )
- We have dealt with Damien as both a buyer and seller. Keyes & Co Property assisted us to achieve a great result for the sale of our property. The service was nothing but professional in each instance and we were well informed during the process. We would highly recommend their services to future clients. (Kurt and Amanda )
- Selling your home can be a personal experience and from our first meeting with Damien Keyes as they say “you only get one first impression†well he made an impression, Damien, Kirsty and the team are honest, direct but most importantly professional. The process was outstandingly managed with every step of the sale carefully documented and then communicated. Inevitably small issues can and do arise during the sale process, however fear not, Damien and his team were on the job providing only solutions and worked hard to give us the result we hoped for. We have sold many homes over the years and finally we found a Real Estate that got it right, so thanks Damien, Kirsty and the whole team. (Adam and Nicole)
- Damien and Justin were fantastic.I was working away for most of the marketing process.They were professional and respectful of my situation at all times.Completely trustworthy and honest.The feedback after every open house was fantastic.Got way more for my house than expected.Keyes and Co are the real deal.The whole process was smooth and went off without a hitch.Cant recommend these guys enough (Carol)
- Whilst looking for a property to purchase in Townsville, Keyes & Co (in particular Justin) were by far the most professional agents we came across. After deciding to purchase a property through them, the whole process was straight forward & stress free & they bent over backwards to help us in the short time we were there. If in future we are looking to buy another property, Keyes & co will be our first port of call. (Jason and Lauren)
- Damien and his team achieved an excellent sale price in a difficult market. Where others houses in Castle Hill had been for sale for many months and in some cases for years Damien had a good result within weeks. He embraces new ideas and his use of amazing 3D walk through technology really helped. Damien came recommended through friends who were equally impressed with his realestate knowledge and friendly manner. Nothing was too much trouble. You wont be disappointed if you give him a go. (Geoffrey)
- Very easy and fast transaction, very good communication kept us up to date with what was happening. We are very happy with our purchase. (Arthur and Sandra)
- What can I say about Keyes & Co Real Estate? Recently I had the unpleasant task of selling my mother’s house to fund her ongoing Aged Care needs due to Dementia. I chose Keyes & Co on reputation as I heard they were good and gave them Sole Agency. The house was in a good location and good condition, but was 40 years old and at a time when market was not in the sellers favour due to the high number of houses on the market, the task of selling was going to be tough. During the sale I was given advice on how to proceed and kept informed of any interested buyers, market trends or any actions taken by Keyes & Co on my behalf through e-mails, phone calls and in person. To my surprise the house sold within 5 months and the price achieved by Keyes & Co was in the range we were seeking. I know how hard they worked to achieve the sale for me and would recommend them to any potential customer either buying or selling a property and would expect them to give you the same good service. My Mum is now settled into full time care. Thanks Keyes & Co (Julie and Her Mum)
- We first meet Damien Keyes at an open house. We ended up purchasing that house and after this initial contact, we were impressed in the Keyes and Co approach that we enlisted Tony Parsons and the Keys and Co Team to Sell our Home. Thank you does not seem enough, your pofessionalism and your Townsville Market Knowledge is 10/10, your friendly personality is calming and reassuring at times. The Real Estate Team approach to sales found us a buyer in 3 weeks in a tough market. Kirsty and the Admin team, kept us informed every step of the process with the purchase and then Sale. We would highly recommend the Keyes and Co Team after our recent purchase and then sale of our Own home. (Vicky and Andrew Howard)
- I have now completed the sale of my house. I had great help and support from Damien and Daniel. This has included good advice on things I could do myself towards the sale eg what to fix in the garden. They were also fantastic in coordinating the repairs etc that were needed when an unexpected problem was found so that I could be selling the place in great condition. I would not have been able to sort out the trades etc by myself as I just don’t have the time or contacts. It is a relief that is has all happened so fast and I can know that my house has sold for a reasonable price, in good condition, to a nice family who will enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks guys! (Sue - 5 Stars)
- Exceptional 5 stars It was a great pleasure to have Damien help us to sell our house. He provided us with regular updates and great advice. Definitely use him again. (Alex and Kay)
- 5 Stars I can not speak highly enough when it comes to Keyes and Co as a realestate agent. My wife and I have sold several houses over a number of years - Damien and his team exceeded our expectations. We found him honest, professional and always approachable. Thank you Damien Kirsty and Daniel. (Jaxon and Jane)
- 5 stars Our experiences with Damien and Daniel were all very good. We never felt pressured, but were kept up to date with developments in the course of our purchase. We were offered plenty of support and opportunities to investigate any queries we had or if we wanted additional inspections every effort was made to satisfy us. We think we were given a well balanced representation, feeling we were valued and acknowledged as potential purchasers but without being under pressure to make an offer until we were ready. Both Damien and Daniel came across as highly credible Agents with excellent communication skills. (Tim and Jenny)
