I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Ellie and Lee. They helped me buy my very first home. They were so kind and understood my needs. It only took one meeting with Ellie for her to really understand what I was looking for, she then did her utmost to make it happen. I am now the proud owner of my forever home and I couldn’t be happier. Their customer service was personalised just for me and I felt listened to. I would recommend Higgins Real Estate to anyone who wants to be made to feel special and understood.

Many thanks,  Jo Cox  4/4/18

Dear team at Higgins,


I want to thank you for doing the impossible in sending out our statements give the arduous and terrible time you have had experiencing the flood and breach of the levee.  It is a real credit it to you.


I would like to you to donate 10% of next months rent to a business or tenant that is not insured as a token of support and help to let them and you know many people are there for them and the people of Lismore at this hard time of cleaning up. I know it is not much but hopefully it can spread the idea of support and encouragement.


Best regards,


D.B.

It's with pleasure that we recommend you!

Thank you Patrick Higgins for all your efforts over the past 12 years in the rental of our home.  We couldn’t have been happier with your services during this time in maintaining and managing our property.  With your unique style of doing a large number of minor repairs yourself which has saved us many hundreds if not thousands of dollars during that time.  We have never heard of another real estate agent providing that sort of service.


When we decided to list the property for sale we were over the moon that our home SOLD after just 7 weeks on the market.  Your efforts  were greatly appreciated by us as nothing was too much trouble even when we contacted you out of normal working hours.  It is with pleasure that I thoroughly recommend the services of you and your team to any prospective clients looking to either buy, sell or rent their property .  Thankyou Higgins Real Estate you did a great job in a very professional way and looked after us extremely well.


Kind regards

Brilliant throughout the sale

Lee Stobart-Vallaro of Higgins Real Estate was the agent I chose to use for the highly successful sale of my home in Lismore.

From the moment I first met Lee I had an instant liking for her genuineness, her warmth, her understanding and her friendly nature. I found Lee to be professional at all times yet she was still able to keep a personable nature to our relationship which allowed me to feel a lot more comfortable in the process of selling my home.


When Lee and I first discussed my dream price for my property she believed in what I wanted, she believed in my property, she believed in our goal and she believed it was possible to achieve what we set out to do. This was invaluable to me as a vendor and gave me the confidence to remain focused on the outcome I wanted.


Lees communication was brilliant throughout the sale of my home. I was regularly kept up to date on all interest and proceedings and felt completely informed of what was going on in relation to achieving the sale. In a process which can get quite emotional, Lee was professional and understanding during all communications and meetings. She maintained a level of quiet confidence in her ability to reach our target and brought a sense of stability which was of great value to me.


The fact that Lee achieved a price on my property ABOVE my dream price was an awesome achievement for both of us. I knew she could do it, I knew she was the right person for me and her results confirmed this. Her ability to navigate through difficulties was inspiring and her ability to get a somewhat turbulent sale across the finish line is a testament to her negotiating skills, her people skills and her skills as an estate agent.


Lee was of great value to me as my real estate agent and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional, genuine, successful estate agent.

We recently sold our property Patrick Higgins of  Higgins Real Estate Lismore, who explained how “no price marketing” was the best way to promote our property to the market and we chose the Auction method.   The team at Higgins Real Estate Lismore were very professional and they kept us fully updated and involved throughout the process of the sale.  We always thought the Auction process was expensive, however, it was explained that 90% of the marketing is done via the internet these days so we were surprised just how inexpensive it was.  In fact it was about the same cost as traditional marketing with a price.   We sold our home in 90 days at a price that was acceptable in this current market.  On a personal note we liked the idea of dealing with a local family owned and operated business on the North Coast and found the team at Higgins Real Estate to not only be professional, but friendly and honest.  We would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Higgins Real Estate Lismore to sell your home.”

Fast Track Sale Success

Thank you for all the hard work and obviously efficient work that you and your team have put in to help this sale to happen in such a short period of time. When Fast Track Sale was explained to me as a sales strategy it made perfect sense and the results speak for themselves.

I have had a long working relationship with Higgins Real Estate that spans back to the building of my home.   Patrick Higgins and his company have taken care of my property management for quite a number of years.  It took two attempts to sell my home, however Higgins Real Estate  never gave up during the tough market we have had.  Patrick kept me informed every week, which was important as I don’t live in the area.  No price marketing enabled me to gain insight into the market and helped me with the pricing.

Very understanding and persistent

After a number of buyers with false starts we finally sold my dream home. Unfortunate I was not able keep this special home due to a change in my circumstances. Patrick was very understanding and very persistent with the marketing. I found the weekly reports with Patricks comment very informative. I would highly recommend Higgins Real Estate to anyone thinking of selling.

Higgins Real Estate helped to locate a suitable tenant to rent our house and manage the rental.  We were happy with their service so when it became time to sell we chose Patrick Higgins to sell our house.   This was not an easy sale as we discovered due to boundary issues.  During the whole sale process Patrick remained positive and after a number of buyers Patrick successfully negotiated a sale at a price we were happy with.  We have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Sold in 31 days

Higgins Real Estate Lismore managed my rental property prior to the decision to sell. When it came time to sell Patrick Higgins recommended a no price marketing strategy, which made sense when explained to us. We sold our home in 31 days achieving a good price in the current market. Throughout the process of our sale Patrick kept us updated with weekly emails and phone calls.
