There wasn’t much buyer interest overall, but Mick managed to work with one serious buyer and secured a strong price.
The whole process went smoothly, and I was happy with both the agent and the support I received.

I would recommend anyone to do it—because you don’t charge, and it works.

Executive Summary

When Matthew needed to sell his uncle’s property in Burleigh Waters, he turned to Which Real Estate Agent (WREA) for support. With limited market interest and the added complexity of a delayed settlement due to a passing in the family, this was far from a straightforward sale. But thanks to WREA’s agent comparison service, Matthew connected with Mick Brace, an experienced local agent who advised against auction and guided the property through a private sale. Despite low buyer turnout, Mick secured a strong offer from a serious buyer, delivering a great result under challenging conditions. For Matthew, the process went smoothly from start to finish, earning WREA and Mick a well-deserved 5-star rating.
