Buyer of house in Laidley, QLD We have found Nicole to be professional and very approachable in our buying and selling dealings recently. She was available when required and caring and honest. Nicole's personal presentation is impeccable and her attention to detail beyond reproach. Thank you. Robbie & Chris

Dear Nicole. I just want to say "Thank You" for selling our home. Your support and compassion in my most darkest days was such a comfort to me. You had such a calming on me effect on me also. You felt more like my friend than my agent. You go above and beyond in your job. Thank you so much Nicole

Nicole is a super-friendly professional who cares about her clients. I live in NSW and Nicole assisted my elderly parents sell their property for the best price, in a time-frame that suited them. She is an excellent communicator and guided them (and me) through every step of the transition in a professional and friendly manner. Nicole created a stress-free environment that I deeply appreciate as I couldn't travel interstate to help them. Thanks Nicole. You're a legend!

I would like to take the time to give you some feedback on your property manager. Anthony and I have had private rental agreements before and both have ended in disaster.  Ray Bachmann Real estate above and beyond our expectations with helping us on our first real estate journey.  We are over the moon that the property manager has secured tenants for us literally in 4 days of the house being advertised for rent.  Attention to detail is impeccable and guidance and knowledge along the way has given us that peace of mind we desperately needed.  Ray Bachmann RE had multiple viewings of the home and also even assisted us in choosing the right tenant as we really wanted a little family to live in Anthony’s house.  We are constantly reminded  “that’s what you have an agent for” as I was stressing a little around having keys cut.  On behalf of Anthony and myself we would like to thank Ray Bachmann Real Estate for all their help and know we have made the right decision to list the property with you. Kind regards Melynda

 Nicole we really appreciate everything you have done for us in securing what we believe is an existing restoration project that will make this house a lovely home. Most of all, thank you for making this a very pleasant experience for us. Regards, Hans & Janine    

We cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us. U went above & beyond to accommodate all our needs and made this process so smooth. Thank you again Nile & Tori
