Best in Redlynch – We cannot thank Ben and his team enough for their assistance and professionalism when selling our parents house. They went above and beyond our expectations, helping to prepare the property, guiding us through the process and finally getting a great and fast result. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Ben & team!!

Natalie Ramsey

Awesome Agent – We have known Ben for quite some time and when we decided to sell we did not hesitate to have Ben and his team sell our property. He was very patient with us and very professional in his approach to selling our house. His understanding of the market is exceptional and always very professional with how we wanted to sell. I have no qualms about recommending Ben August and his team. Very happy with the sale!

Gavin Butler

The utmost professional – Ben was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and patient for the whole sales experience. He listened to all our questions, explained everything excellently and all of his advice was absolutely spot on. We could always get hold of him at any time and he made the process so incredibly easy. I would not use anyone else to sell a house and would recommend Ben and his team to everyone!

Sean Sully

5 STAR RESULT – Ben is a great agent, very professional and knowledgeable! We were blown away with his hard work and dedication which resulted in a great price. I would highly recommend Ben and his team if you’re interested in selling your next property.

Mellissa Green

Professional, established a good price, honest and extremely helpful. Ben August has a super gift. He represents himself with knowledge and pride and therefore, he will perform a top job for anybody that hires him. I am not easily impressed, but he impressed me and also his team, in particular Ben Harding.

Juergen Arndt

Smooth process and absolutely awesome result!! Ben and his team are excellent at their jobs. The process was smooth and they were very well organised. They achieved a top selling price, more than we could ever have hoped for.

Eunseon Jeong

Great agent knows his craft – from the moment we expressed interest in the property Ben was always open and transparent, organising extra time for us to review the home. Throughout the settlement period Ben maintained communication with us at all times, was very professional, knowledgeable and responded to our queries in a timely manner.

Matt Hunter

Very happy owner – I enjoyed working with Ben and his team as a first time seller. They provided the best service and knowledge, kept me up-to-date, were transparent, and guided me to provide relevant documents in the timely manner, so I did not have to worry about anything throughout the selling process. My house was under contract the day after the first open house and the settlement was under 30 days. Everything exceeded my expectations!

Joo Yeo

Outstanding Agent – we could not have been more happier with the service from Ben and his team. His professional approach from beginning to end along with his up to date knowledge of the market is what enabled him to achieve the result we were wanting. We would recommend Ben to anyone hoping to get the best price for their property.

Simon Lewis-Jones

Glad we did – Ben really saved us a lot of trouble. A different agent had suggested we do renovations before a sale, but Ben explained to us that due to our specific property type and the time in the market, we’d be better off selling as is. After a lot of explaining from Ben and his team, we sold as is and got higher than the price the other agent told us we’d get after renovations. So Ben saved us a lot of time, and a lot of money. We’re very grateful that he was so open and direct with his advice, and explained things so fully, so that we could make informed decisions, as it was a very different path than we’d expected to take. Ben and the team made everything as simple as possible. They were able to recommend companies for pre-sale building and pest, cleaners, pressure washers, stagers etc., who were less expensive and did a better job than others we’d used in the past. The team kept us in the loop, and let us know whenever there was anything we needed to do on our end, which made everything so simple from start to finish. Ben and the team definitely take pride in their work and operate with integrity. I’d highly recommend them and would absolutely sell with them again!

Julie Raymer

Smooth transition to selling – we were extremely impressed with Ben August & his team, especially in regard to knowledge of the market & marketing of our place to keep it inline with current trends. They were always helpful and we put our trust in their hands resulting in a quick and smooth sale. Thank you again!

Besh Earl

Brilliant – Ben and his team far exceeded our expectations and have restored our faith in sales agents! Ben was the only agent we enquired with that had a plan and strategies, and we are stoked with the result he achieved for us. We would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone looking to sell.

Andrew Lynch

Professional and great communication – Ben and the team are very quick to respond and always gave us honest and genuine advice. My husband and I were very happy with the entire process. We highly recommend him. We would like to say thank you to Ben and his team for their outstanding service and effort to sell our property!

Mariko Vardy

Polite, informative and responsive – Ben was a pleasure to deal when buying our property; not only was his communication open and responsive, but on first meeting he was also friendly and knowledgeable. Most of all we liked how he shared the sellers connection to this home as it became clear the home had a lot of family history.

Suzi Nelson

Ben is very professional, has very sound knowledge of the market and offers good guidance. I approached Ben to help sell my property after my previous agent could not secure a deal for me after 4 weeks of inspections. I selected Ben based on his good reviews and his ability to sell properties in a very short time frame. He has in-depth market knowledge and is able to communicate professionally and is friendly at the same time. He always seeks what I want and offers realistic advice. His support team including staging, photography and videography are all of very high standards and I loved it. Ben did a fantastic job selling my property just 2 days after the first inspection. I am pleasantly surprise and would highly recommend Ben August and his team to sell your property.

Elizabeth Goh

Purchasing – Ben was great! He made every effort to accommodate our enquiries during the purchase and settlement phase. He was very easy to discuss issues with and was not pushy to achieve a sale. Well done Ben. Would recommend him and his team for both purchase and selling.

Maree & Rex Andrews

Excellent – professional and competent team with great communication. They kept us well informed every step of the way. Grateful for their help and guidance.

Katherine Chrichton

Next level professionals – Ben and his team helped to make a stressful process so much easier. From the very first meeting we felt that Ben was going to give us the kind of attention and service we needed to get the best possible price. He knows the market and what is needed to get the job done. His support team were amazing and overall we couldn’t have asked for more!

Leanne Graham

Quick sale, great communication –
We required a quick sale and so Ben A was who came to mind when looking for an Agent. His sales records and average days on market appealed to us and we weren’t disappointed as we achieved a quick sale and settlement. Ben A, Ben H and Jane all worked so well as a team and we were really happy with the communication along the way.

Tiffany Rowsell

A professional team that are willing to go the extra mile to make the deal happen!
Ben is extremely knowledgeable in the local market. His recommendation of price point was spot on, driving interest in the property prior to the 1st open house. Ben’s suggestion of staging the property was also spot on as the property was presented in the best possible way. Advising us to arrange for a building and pest inspection prior to the 1st open home ensured all the little jobs could be tidied up and no surprises for the purchaser. Although the above were at our expense, the returns were tenfold. Ben and his team were in regular communication throughout the process, always friendly, positive and professional. We were extremely happy with the price received and the time it took to sell. We had an unusual property to sell. However, it only took Ben and his team 9 days from hitting the market to signing a contract. A huge thank you to August Estate Agents from 2 very grateful sellers!

Joanne McCarthy

Exemplary, ethical service with a fierce regard for their client –
It was clear from the outset that Ben August was the right choice for us. He had been strongly referred to us by several friends, including a close neighbour who had just sold their property through him. Ben briefed us on our local market then carefully laid out the strategy of how he would approach the sale of our property. It just made complete sense. He seemed to anticipate every concern we had. There was an unexpected glitch with the physical preparation of our building & Ben was able to promptly secure the resources to manage the solution. Moving forward Ben didn’t just talk the talk, he made it happen. There was a thorough briefing at each pre and post showing of the property. We were so glad that we followed his pre-sale recommendations. It meant that every aspect of the sale process was covered off. As I wrote in the testimonial I gave his firm (something he did NOT ask for by the way) – in every house sale, I am sure there as many Downs as Ups. The mark of a true professional is how those are dealt with by the agent in supporting a client. The same goes for Ben August’s team, Ben Harding and Jane Bartley who were actively involved in our sales process. To sum up the entire process was a successful collaboration. My wife Lynne and I were made to feel part of the team that was selling our home. We were listened to and where appropriate our feedback was acted upon. When there were times where we needed to face reality, Ben, mindful of our best interests, would deliver those facts, albeit quite diplomatically! The end result was the sale of our property in a timely manner and above our asking price.

John Devaney

Ben and his team were very professional to deal with! Kept us informed every step of the way. Always got back to us in a very timely manner. Answered any and all of our questions. Would use them again, and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to sell their house. Great job guys and girls. Thanks again!

Barb Kelp

Above and beyond expectations – there is a reason that everywhere you look in Redlynch you will see Ben’s signs. I was new to selling a house and had no experience. Ben and his team made it such a stress free process. His knowledge of the market, trends and tips were invaluable. I have absolutely no problem recommending them to anybody and would challenge anyone to find a better agent. He even watered my yard and gardens when I was unable to get there. Definitely above and beyond. I made sure I followed their advice and we achieved an exceptional result. You will not regret going with Ben and his team!

Christopher Tweddell

Trustworthy team with excellent knowledge of Redlynch – kind and courteous works hard for both clients. We have dealt with Ben and his team both as a buyer and seller and would recommend him with both stages of sales. He is extremely knowledgeable about Redlynch and surrounds and knows the market inside and out. He works very hard for you and keeps you regularly up to date with all processes of the transactions. Will definitely continue with the services of Ben August Real Estate.

Susan Moore

Amazing Service and Experience –
Throughout the property transaction, Ben August and his team were empathetic, supportive, and helpful. We experienced a hiccup with our finance, and they were extremely understanding and helped ensure we had resources and support to get us back on track. It was constant and clear communication with a friendly yet professional approach. When we picked up our keys on settlement day, they had a gift basket of goodies to congratulate us with which was very heartwarming. We truly were looked after in every aspect as the buyers. Everyone from the agency we dealt with was amazing, and we’re incredibly grateful that they made the process smooth and easy. Thank you again Ben August and Team!!
