Blackheath) previously. So when I recently had to sell a house there was no question of who to choose. Working with Adele and Bob has always been a pleasure.
I asked a lot of Adele this time because we were committed to a country property and decided to sell in Blackheath just 2 weeks before Christmas, and that is a notoriously quiet time for real estate. However, Adele and Lisa and the rest of the team made the impossible possible and had the place photographed and open for inspection within a week! They achieved an excellent price in early January enabling us to complete our country purchase.
I cannot speak too highly of the competent, courteous, and professional standards shown throughout the process.
The effort put in by Adele Colman was nothing short of extraordinary. Without her work we could not have achieved our dream.

Over the past number of years I have had the opportunity to view many properties that you represented for sale and indeed both bought and sold through your expert guidance. I believe this has given me the unique experience of seeing many facets of your sales techniques and personality first hand.
I have always found you approachable, knowledgeable and honest in your dealings with properties. It was because of this I believe that buying a property through you was quite stress-free and any concerns raised were dealt with in an efficient, caring and considerate manner.
As you know I considered other agencies to sell my Mt Victoria property. Your experience, your knowledge and desire to provide a great experience for both the prospective purchaser and myself were leading factors in my decision to list with you.
With you, I felt that we would achieve the best price for the property in a timely manner. This was achieved through your ability to position the property in a manner that created great interest and resulted in numerous offers being made immediately after the first open house.
Your outstanding interpersonal skills were apparent when an initial offer and acceptance was withdrawn. Because you had maintained open and honest relations with other interested parties, the property was sold on the very same day. There was no need for further advertising or another open house!
Your negotiating skills were of prime importance not only to secure a great sale price but also to ensure the sale was executed on time. When the purchaser raised some minor concerns on the day before settlement you were able to negotiate an outcome where both parties were satisfied, settlement proceeded as scheduled and a situation, which may have become quite stressful, was resolved through your quick thinking and negotiations.
Even after the sale, you have been a font of knowledge and very generous with advice to me. Whenever I ask for a suggestion for a trade person you provide excellent contacts. I am most appreciative of the hours you spent at my new property in Hartley making suggestions of how to improve the property and gardens.
I firmly believe in developing, maintaining and nurturing relations in regard to real estate. Adele you are amazing at what you do and I am eternally grateful.

We sought competitive submissions and selected Adele on the basis of her enthusiasm and her depth of knowledge of the market in the upper Blue Mountains area.
The sale was by no means straight-forward necessitating us spending a considerable amount of money to ensure that the property was attractive to the market. Throughout this process Adele’s advice and that of her network of service providers, was invaluable.
Adele, Bob and all of the staff at Richardson & Wrench, Blackheath are to be complemented on their professionalism, communication skills and knowledge of their industry.

I have had many real estate “experiences” from mediocre to downright awful, and have never had the urge to put pen to paper before.
However, this is it. From Adele & Bob to their staff everyone was helpful, courteous and efficient. I was given factual information on the market and the estimated price was the market price, not an inflated amount to get the listing and then coming back a few weeks later saying my expectations were too high. The promotion of the property could not have been better, and the first people to inspect made the purchase. The negotiation of price was very skilfully handled and I have been smiling ever since.
My thanks to Adele and Bob and their staff on a job well done.

She then proposed a series of recommendations with relevant trade contacts for this to be done. Once we agreed on the proposals, she then took charge of arranging all the tradespeople to get their jobs done – keeping me informed at every step of the way. This was an incredible value add for me as it meant we were very much on the same page with what needed to be done to get the property ready.
Apart from all the other standard pre-readiness tasks like photos and brochures, I also very much valued Adele’s advice around the sale offers – and what was a realistic offer versus something out of left field. We were very happy with the result we obtained.
In short, I would not hesitate to refer Adele as someone who knows the mountains and Blackheath property markets intimately. She will definitely pull out all the stops to drive for the outcome you want. Thanks Adele.

Recently the time came to sell in Blackheath so I decided to approach the same Agent. I cannot speak more highly of the professional and expert way that Adele, Bob and their team handled the sale from start to finish.
I was kept informed at every stage of the process. The result was more than satisfactory.
If anyone is looking for professional, expert and caring service I would always recommend the Richardson and Wrench Blackheath Team.

Many of our perceived hurdles and stresses for such a sale never came to pass in their capable hands, at every turn the professionalism and courtesy of them and their entire team was to be completely relied upon. I am confident that they delivered way over and above what a normal agents would, such as often attending the property on their own time, making sure the property always presented at its best internally and externally and finding a wonderful caretaker that took so much stress off dealing with the sale in the midst of our busy lives. The generation of interest through the media was also expertly and deftly handled, with the art curator Gavin Wilson commenting to us that there could not have been a better article describing the estate and its significance to my father, one of Australia's master potters. Above all, it was their trustworthiness that was the most appreciated. At all times we knew exactly where we stood.
Through their efforts the R&W team generated a impressive amount of interest in the auction that was conducted on site. We were thrilled to have the auction well exceed our expectations with a result significantly above the reserve, with amazing 86 bids in a nerve wracking 45 minutes.
I would like to congratulate and offer my sincere thanks Adele, Bob and their team on such a stress free campaign and a terrific result. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
