What our clients say…
Dear Stephen, Just a quick note of appreciation for you and your team at Aitken Real Estate regarding the sale of my home. From day one all of your staff made me feel so well cared for. It was your method of selling that attracted me to confirming you as my agent in the first instance and I can only say thank you and congratulations on making the entire procedure such a pleasant experience. Your helpful advice during the sale of my home and continuing through the purchasing of my new home was also much appreciated. I know many people come away from the sale of their home totally stressed and frazzled I can only say they should give Aitken the chance to make it all smooth sailing. Thanks again Stephen to you, Liz, Julie and all the gang.

We are very appreciative of Aitken’s refreshingly unique, yet effective and ethical approach to real estate. It is an approach that produces optimum results whatever the prevailing economic environment. We can attest to this having sold two sub-divisions through Aitken over a twelve month period, in both adverse and the present buoyant stage of the economy. At all times we found your representatives to be approachable. They are honest, giving of their time and good counsel, yet sensitive to our concerns. All agents work very professionally in unison as a team for the vendor whilst retaining integrity with their qualified purchasers. We extend our sincere thanks to the team for their professionalism and friendship. We highly recommended Aitken Real Estate on their ethics and results. They are a pleasure to work with!

This letter is to thank you for the way you handled the sale of my Mothers unit in Parkdale earlier this year. In my brief when interviewing prospective real estate agents I had three criteria. The first competent, secondly, very professional. As mum was 80 years old and I was living in Sydney the final criteria was a special quality and empathy to manage the sale so my mother was neither pressured nor caused any undue anxiety and who my mother like and trusted. You excelled on all counts. Mum was very happy with the price, the minimum disruption and especially achieving the sale in 21 days.

After using a local Agent and being left terribly disappointed, we tried to sell our home ourselves. That was a disaster; we then agreed that we only wanted real buyers to come through our home. We liked the way Aitken Real Estate do business. After only 11 days on the market we are SOLD and we are thrilled with the price that they achieved! We were most impressed by the professionalism and level of care all of the Aitken team gave us. We would highly recommend using Aitken Real Estate if you are thinking of selling! 0416 858 016

Dear Liz, Grant and I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling our house. It was a pleasure to do business with you. Not only did you secure a price that was at the top end of the market range, as you predicted, you came through with all your promises. That has been a first for us – encountering a real estate agent that delivers without nasty surprises. We will be wholeheartedly recommending you to our family and friends.

I was very happy that, when arranging inspections, you took our needs into consideration and were very flexible… you did not waste our time with ‘unqualified’ potential buyers and only brought through people who had a genuine interest in the property… after all we had been through we really appreciate that…we were so pleased with your honesty and the fact that you were true to your word and kept your promises. We were also impressed that you all really work as a team and don’t compete with each other, but rather, support each other. It made us feel like you were working for us, not just for yourselves… We were thrilled with the job you did and would absolutely positively enthusiastically recommend you to any family, friend or neighbour wanting to buy or sell!
Petros & Debbie Georgiades
It was refreshing to deal with you after six months of looking at real estate! We appreciated the way in which you dealt with us, the ethical approach you demonstrated and the consideration you showed.
Maureen & Paul Mutimer
I was most surprised, when within 10 days we had a buyer for the house, and at a price of about $30,000 more than I expected. I cannot stress enough how delighted I was to actually work wi th a real estate agency that is ethical and honest. I would happily recommend any potential property sellers to Aitken Real Estate.
Kelvin James
We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Aitken Real Estate in the purchase and sale of property for family members who are in the process of downsizing….I can’t speak too highly of the enthusiasm, professionalism and integrity displayed throughout the process of the sale and purchase…..I would be only too happy to recommend Aitken Real Estate to any prospective buyer or seller.

Full marks to Aitken Real Estate for handling the sale of our property.Upon enquiring at the front office as to whether they handled property auctions, principal Steve Aitken met with us and was very confident and convincing about the high likelihood of success through his silent auction strategy. That very day he met us at the vacant property, gave an encouraging appraisal and the listing was confirmed on the spot. In-house photography, the property 'For Sale' board and listing all happened with great speed. What really impressed us were features such as reasonable commission rate, no open-house inspections and no hidden costs whatsoever. Danielle covered many inspections and there were frequent reports as to numbers of prospective purchasers. All along we knew Steve had his finger on the pulse, but there was also a definite team effort. We wanted a fairly quick sale with any contract to be signed around a certain date. That certainly happened!Aitken Real Estate is a very local and long-established business with that important personal touch.A hassle-free experience. So pleased we enlisted them. Well done Aitken Real Estate!

I can highly recommend selling your property with Aitken Real Estate. From the moment they came and had that initial look at my home they have been honest, hard working and gave me some great advice too. Many thanks Steve! They've made sure that selling my house in Cheltenham went smoothly and without any of the overly expensive, wasteful and ineffective methods that other agents are in the habit of operating these days. My sale was quick, efficient and the price they got me was well above what I thought I might ever get! I’d like to especially mention Danielle from Aitken. She was superb. From the beginning she worked hard and diligently in marketing and selling my property. She was always focussed, very honest and up-front, charming, enthusiastic, very positive and intelligent and worked really hard to make sure I got the best sale price for my home. I’m very happy with the result and I highly recommend her, Steve Aitken and Aitken Real Estate to anyone!

My experience with Aitken Real Estate was different to the norm as it did not involve selling or buying a property.I had found a property I wanted to purchase and could not secure the sale prior to auction.I knew that Aitken Real Estate were non-auction agents and pride themselves on their negotiating abilities. So I rang Steve Aitken and discussed the difficulties I was experiencing. His knowledge and honesty was so refreshing I enlisted him to bid for me at the auction.Steve’s strategy and approach at the auction was outstanding. His advice and manoeuvring resulted in only one other bid on the day with the property being passed in on our second bid. This is where Steve’s strong negotiating skills shone through resulting in the successful purchase of my dream home. Sincere thanks Steve for making this process stress free and a more pleasurable experience. I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone.

Stephen did a great job at explaining the process of how they were going to sell our house and then he and his team did a great job at carrying it out, keeping us informed along the way. Stephen explained the process well and provided guidance throughout. The final result was quicker than we expected and even exceeded our asking price, which was wonderful, but ultimately why we would recommend Stephen and his team was the quality of the communication and the comfort we received in them meeting their high standards of transparency and integrity in the selling process.

I found Aitken Real Estate to be absolutely brilliant! Steve and the whole team (Belinda, Zeke and Austin) were exceptionally personable and they did everything in their power to assist me. Since I lived a distance away, the 'team' stepped in, no fuss, helping out with all manner of things, like collecting the mail, sweeping, cleaning - and they even shifted our furniture out just before settlement! They could not have done a better job!Throughout the process I was kept up to date every few days about how the selling process was going - and Steve was always available to speak and help with pretty much anything at all. In addition, Aitken Real Estate proved to be wonderful negotiators and got me an excellent price. In short, I cannot recommend them highly enough - such a 'class act' in every way. Thanks 'Team Aitken' you're the best!!
