Dear Lawrie

You have been nothing but a pleasure to work with on both the buying and selling of our property along with managing it as a rental over the last seven years. Best regards Kent and Deborah

Many thanks

Hi Lawrie, We hope you are well. Just wanting to let you know that we are incredibly happy with you and your teams continued service and professionalism during our tough time, whilst building our first home. You and your team went well above the call of duty to help us and make us feel great about the building process, even though we weren't able to be in the state. We appreciate all the time and effort in which you have spent for us and our beautiful home. Anyone who employs your services will not be disappointed with your commitment and thorough attention to detail when looking after their investment. Regards, Matthew and Julie Lee

THE LAST OF THE GENTLMAN.....

Let me first begin by saying, how impressed we were at Lawrie's mannerism in professional real estate, my wife and I were encapsulated by Lawrie's presentation and knowledge of real estate we found that he is driven and worked extremely well to achieve our goal of selling our home, my wife and I came across a few real estate agents and found that most were interested in their own benefit and style of selling, but found working with Lawrie was straight forward with minor hiccups, we have been blessed to sell with Atlas Real estate and have recommended Lawrie to a number of our friends. Thank you once again Lawrie for aiding us in selling our home and working around our circumstances. May the Lord Bless in all your future endeavors. Sincere Regards Farrugia Family

Sale of 11 Granholm Grove, Melton West

Re: Sale of 11 Granholm Grove, Melton West I'm writing to express my gratitude in all your efforts in selling my property. It's usually not an easy decision as to who to entrust your property for sale but in this case it certainly was. My past experience in dealings with you years before gave me the confidence that you were a man of integrity and always willing to do whatever was necessary to deliver a sale for the best possible price and terrific service. The sale of this property was a very difficult endeavor. The market was flat, the property had sustained serious damage by tenants under the mismanagement of a previous company and a convoluted insurance claim process needed to be worked through to reinstate the property. Being unable to attend to matters of VCAT hearings, insurance claims and repair works myself you graciously took responsibility of all these things without hesitation. This saved me time and further financial loss. Thorough the marketing period you kept me thoroughly informed on progress, had the courage to deliver honest feedback about price and negotiated the best result possible for me in the end. I have owned a large property investment portfolio spanning across the country and been involved in the property industry for most of my life. Your gentlemanly and professional approach to doing whatever was necessary to bring about a sale is quite simply unrivaled in my considerable experience. Your actions speak of a man with character and integrity. I give my highest recommendation for all services rendered by you and Atlas Realty. Yours Sincerely Richard Facey PARKLEA PTY LTD

To Lawrie and the whole staff at Atlas

To Lawrie and the whole staff at Atlas Realty. My experience of the feelings I had from the beginning was the most honest and warm acceptance that I felt in more than 20 years dealing with agents. You made me feel that I could place my total confidence in your hands from the moment I stepped through your door. Some in your profession don't deal in an honest way in their behaviour. Delivering time and time again is a credit to everyone in the Atlas team. To be able to sell my home to another buyer, one hour later, after the first buyer cooled off and having to make that difficult phone call to advise me, just showed how professional you were. To say that you went above and beyond is putting it mildly. A man with honesty and integrity is how you always displayed yourself and on every occassion you made me feel at ease throughout the selling process. I hope Lawrie that you and I can remain in touch as you already feel like a friend for life. Thank you for selling my home so quickly and also finding me another beautiful property to move in to. I'm forever in your debt and for the help and kindness you have shown from the start. John Marasovic

May God bless you Lawrie

I would like to write my reviews if you like to put on website. Atlas Realty is the name of trust, reliability, honesty, incredible service, outstanding support and guidance, vast knowledge of product they are dealing with. Can you believe that I bought my first land from Lawrie, Director of Atlas Realty within 5 minutes. Nope, you may not believe that until I tell you something. I have been an honest and aggressive buyer in the market since Mar 2015. Which ever estate agent I was dealing with, one of them, Barry Plant in Werribee and others as well, providing shitty and shitty service. They don't know how to deal with an inquiry for land or for house or how to talk and deal with customers. All of them were into playing games with buyers. So from March, then April then May I was totally a frustrated woman. One Sunday night I send 10 emails to 10 property managers for a quote and my interest. Within 15-20 minutes I received a positive reply from Lawrie. I said to myself is he crazy, he replied me in 15-20 minutes and no reply from 8 properties until 20, 30, 40, 80 days. Can you believe that. One lady from a Melton estate agency replied me saying " Go and look for a land yourself I don't have time for you, you come to my office and pay me 5%". What a more shitty reply you can expect. 56 Ayesha Avenue was one of them. That property is still in market as you can see yourself. With Lawrie, positive reply within 2 hours by 9.30 pm on Sunday night I had sec 32. I send that to my conveyancer, she said don't sign, look what a bad luck she was blind saying there is a 10 metre easement. Lawrie called me 10.45 pm at night convinced me about right things. Monday morning 7.40 am he picked me from Melton Station and showed me the land. The land was so beautiful rectangle shape big sized land. I liked the land instantly. I shook hands with Lawrie within 5 minutes of seeing the land with interest saying " land is sold, I want to sign paper work". Lawrie was also shocked listening to that. I signed the paper work on 02 June 15. After that he took me around the area to show what is where, which was not his job but guess what he did that for me. How amazing is that??? I signed the land paper on 2 Jun 2015 and land was declared as sold on 16 June 2015. Now my house is already under construction. God helped me to buy my property so he send an angel for me in shape of " Lawrie" I will highly recommend Lawrie and his team. If you have money and you want reliable service with honesty and without games just close your eyes and trust Lawrie and buy your land and property from him. I haven't met such a awesome person ever before in estate agency or somewhere else who goes beyond the limits to help a customer. I am planning to buy another land in future will go to Lawrie again without second thoughts. You deserve all this appreciation, but i had no time to write it earlier. Thanks Lawrie, You were really an angel who just came from somewhere and I bought a land so quickly. See my house has already completed by 80 % by Simonds Homes. I am so happy. May god Bless you Lawrie with a long, longer, longest and happiest life !!!

Just a small token of our appreciation of your services in selling our home and also for your help with the maintenance man who fixed our kitchen light. We wish you and your team all the best and keep up the good work. It was a pleasure to have a calm and cheerful atmosphere when selling our home. Good luck for the future, best wishes and kind regards, from Shirley and Alan Gardiner.

Dear Lawrie

With regard to the purchase of 30 Fairhaven Boulevard, Melton West, I would like to thank you for your total professionalism in helping me acquire this property. Your explanations of all aspects of the legalities and other problems were at all times helpful and in terms I could understand. Thank you most sincerely Mary Nolan

Thanks Lawrie

Thank you so much for your professionalism and making the whole process of buying and selling a home a pleasure and I will have no trouble at all recommending you to anybody who is looking to buy or sell in the future. Have a lovely day. Kind regards Sam.

Thanks again Lawrie

I certainly made the right decision choosing Atlas again to sell my second property. You worked tirelessly in a difficult market to get my property sold. You were always positive despite the time the property was on the market and went out of your way to regularly attend and check on the home while it was vacant. There has been no compromise in your company's service to its clients, despite the fact that you have reduced your commissions even more over the last year. I don't know how the other agents can justify the fees they charge. Keep up the good work. Best regards Tony.

Re: Selling of 37 Rathdowne Circuit, West Melton.

Charlie Paul, Chisholm Close, Gladstone Park. 24/6/2014. Dear Lawrie, I want to express my gratitude in your handling of the sale of my property. Nothing was ever an effort for you. You took it upon yourself to do things if you saw that something needed to be done and you were most tactful in dealing with my tenant. You were always patient with both him and me, explaining things in detail if I did not understand. In the past I have dealt with other agencies and have been far from pleased. Atlas Real Estate has fulfilled all my expectations. All the staff have always been most professional, and you have fulfilled all your promises. I have enjoyed my experience with your team at Atlas Real Estate and will recommend your company, and you personally, to friends. You have my permission to show this letter to other prospective clients. Yours sincerely, Charles Paul.

Dear Lawrie and Staff

Firstly I hope you are all well, but most importantly I am writing to express my thanks to you with all the help and advice you and your friendly staff gave me with the purchase of my property in Balliang. It was well above what you would expect from your average estate agent. Over the years of my life I have purchased and sold over five different properties and each time being in different areas, so I have had to deal with quiet a few different estate agents and unlucky for myself I must say I had found them not to be very good experiences. So when it came to purchasing this what I hope to be my final property to retire on I was not looking forward to all that side of things. Then I found the property I wanted and your real estate company Atlas happened to be the one selling it for the vendor, LUCKY FOR ME. You changed my opinion on the level of quality and service that a real estate agent can and should deliver. You were there through every step of the whole journey from start to finish for both parties not just for the vendor but also for the purchaser which was myself giving me advice and if you said you would do something it was done instantly, you stayed true to your word and were very up front and honest, which I have learnt from dealing as I have said with many other agents over the years, is very hard to find in today's real estate and business world. I really think many of these other agents with big offices should take as the saying goes, a leaf out of your book and learn from the honest and helpful way you and your staff operate. You really made the purchase of my property a very enjoyable and exciting time and I am so very thankful to you and your staff for this. I am not looking at selling this property as I said I hope to retire here, but I know with out a doubt if ever I do I will only be making one phone call and that would be to you to be my estate agent. I have also told everyone that knows I have moved how fantastic you and Atlas Real Estate were. If I know of anyone thinking of buying or selling in future, I will be recommending you to them with out any hesitation. Again I can't thank you and your staff at Atlas enough. Wishing you all good health and please take care, Regards Maree Coulson

Hi Lawrie, Finally got the time to say thank you for selling our house at 19 Cahill Drive. We certainly chose the right real estate agent when we signed up with Atlas Realty. Your service was exemplary and your friendliness and sincerity was much appreciated. Both Fred and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody wanting to sell or buy a home. We have settled into the Motel business and enjoying every minute of it. Take care Lawrie and you can think of us when the dahlias start to bloom. Regards Pam Gilbert

Thanks Lawrie and staff

Having bought my property through Atlas Real Estate, I was very pleased that I made the decision to sell the same property a short time later, with the same agency. Atlas achieved a relatively quick sale in a tough market, with a price I was happy with. Nothing was too much trouble and I was kept informed of the marketing and sales process every step of the way. The level of service and professionalism was above and beyond what one might expect from the big franchised agencies and I would have no hesitation in recommending Atlas to any person that is thinking of selling their home.

Hi Lawrie

Re: Property: 22 Kensei St. Kurunjang Now, when everything about purchasing our new house has settled down, we would like to thank you for the time you spent and all effort you put in. We really have enjoyed our experience with you and your team. When we needed it, you were cooperative giving us all possible information about the house, the area, the vendor, and everything we were interested in. Thank you for that. When we needed your action about contacting the vendor and solicitors, arranging inspections, or just preparing paper work, you were diligent and accurate. Thank you for that. When we (or people working for us) were late in our actions and obligations, you were patient and tolerant, giving us the time to finish the things. Thank you for that. When the things were approaching to the end, you advised us regularly about and stayed open for any of our needs at that stage. Thank you for that. After the settlement day, when we got in possession of the property, you were worried about what condition the property was left in by the vendor. And again, you were cooperative and keen to help. Such attitude is rare in the world of business! Thank you for giving us that. At the end, let me express my impression about you Lawrie. All the time, in every your contact, you were very kind, polite and patient, but you also knew what you were about and you were persistent as well. You were ready to stand for the vendor when situation asked for, and, with the same volition, you represented us as purchasers when we had concerns. I am sure you like your job and business you are in; you like (and know very well) how to deal with people and you like (and know very well) how to sell properties. That is good for you when you do what you like, but it is good for your customers too, having such representative working for them. If any opportunity arises, we will be very proud to recommend you and your team. Once again, thank you for everything you have done for us. We wish you every success in your business and happiness. Kind regards! Miroslav Sireta (and Anka)

To Louis re Property Managers

Good morning Louise, I know you have been compiling a list of good quality service companies to recommend to your clients in areas of investment interest. As Melton is an area which is getting a lot of media attention as a good place to invest, I would like to recommend my property manager be added to your list of quality people which your clients can expect a good service. I am not sure whether I have already passed on the details, but I have used this company for about two and a half years now and their service is second to none and at a very competitive price. Regards Richard

Response to: Thanks for the recommendation

Hey Lawrie. I own quite a lot of property scattered over various parts of Australia. Believe me mate, you are doing a whole lot more than most property managers. You - 1. Sourced me good tenants. 2. Notify me of any maintenance items and source me good trades people to complete the work at reasonable cost. 3. Notify me in good time prior to lease expiry or six monthly rent reviews so I am ensured enough time to act in my best interests whilst in accordance with the Residential tenancies act. 4. Your statements are easy to understand. These might seem like standard services one might expect from their property manager, but I can tell you that finding good property managers is difficult. I belong to an organization whose core business is educating people to invest to create financial independence for themselves. The list of reputable service people is for the benefit of their clients. When any client buys in an area they can ask the company (Destiny Financial Solutions) whether they can recommend solicitors, property managers, building inspectors etc in the area of interest. If they have had other clients purchase in this area and have a good experience with any service people, their name can be added to the list of recommended people. I am sure you will get business out of this Lawrie and you certainly deserve it. Thank you for your good service. Kind regards Richard Facey

Letter to Woods (Mr Hickmott)

Dear Mr Hickmott about one month ago I came to your office for the sale of my house. I was inquiring about your fees, your answer was that your fees were 3% plus GST, therefore the sum of $6,600. My answer was it was a bit high, that I was looking around the 2% mark, you advised me then, if I was looking cheap, and not professional to go and see "Atlas Realty". I took your advice, and do you know what you were half right because in the space of one week-end we had three visitors and two offers on line, one of which bought my house, at the asking price. So within one and a half weeks I sold my house with the help of "Atlas Realty". Lawrie and his wife are very professional, and because they are working from a small office does not mean they are working from a garage. I'm very happy with the outcome, and I will deal with them again. "Please regard them as serious opponents in the field". Mr Bernard Fenollar

Hello

I'm Laura and I'm writing this to tell you about the excellent experience I had when I sold my house with Atlas Real Estate. When my partner and I decided to sell our house, the first thing I thought was how much I hate real estate agents and how I really didn't want to have to deal with one. I thought about all their horrible sales tactics and all the horror stories I had heard from numerous friends and relatives. We decided that if we had to deal with a real estate agent we would choose the one that would cost us the least amount of money, so I began calling every estate agent in Melton to try and find the cheapest. When I began calling up I found that my worst suspicions about real estate agents were confirmed, they were pushy and very evasive when I asked for a price to sell the house. In every case there were excessive fees for marketing in addition to the large fees to actually sell the house. At this stage we decided to have three of the cheapest over to do a free appraisal. Then, while surfing on the internet I discovered Atlas Real Estate's website. It really struck me because it just came out and stated what the price was with no run around and no massive marketing fees, something that no other real estate company had managed. As soon as I saw the website I called up and booked a free appraisal. When the real estate agents came over to do the appraisal most were rude and pushy, they insisted I sign up with them on the spot and avoided answering my questions about the costs and the process involved. However, when Lawrie from Atlas Real Estate came to do the market appraisal he was friendly and personable; he sat down with us for an hour, answered all our questions and explained the whole process to us. Instead of being pushy, he even suggested that we get some other appraisals done so as we had something to compare it to. We were both really impressed with his professionalism and customer focused attitude. Although we had reservations that we had not heard of Atlas before, we decided to choose them as our real estate agents, as Lawrie seemed like someone who would be very pleasant to deal with and they were by far the cheapest of all the real estate agents. When we told Lawrie we wanted him to sell our house, he came over and explained the whole process to us and made everything easy to understand. He also took some very professional pictures of our house which he used to advertise on the Internet at no charge to us. He was very honest about everything and even told us we could sack him as our agent at any time if we thought he was doing a bad job. During inspections Lawrie was very professional. He would always call before bringing people through to inspect and took special care to ensure that my cats were not let out. He even checked on my cats when we had an unfortunate incident where a possum fell down the chimney and got stuck in the house while we were at work! Most importantly, Lawrie sold our house very quickly, which was very important as we had already bought another house. I would recommend Atlas Real Estate to anyone who wants to sell their house fast and wants to deal with friendly, professional people. I was absolutely satisfied with everything they did, and in fact, they exceeded my expectations. Kind Regards, Laura Pagotto Melton South VIC

To Whom it May Concern

Atlas Realty was engaged to market two of my properties after several agencies in Melton were unsuccessful in achieving a sale, despite both properties having been on the market for some considerable period of time. I was pleasantly surprised with the company's approach to doing business: Their professionalism, and attention to detail, marketing expertise and their willingness to do whatever it took to achieve the desired result. Both properties sold within weeks of being listed and I couldn't be more than happier with the prices obtained. The agency was always approachable, eager to address any concerns and most importantly, provided continual lines of communication and feedback during the marketing campaign. I would have no hesitation in recommending Atlas Real Estate to any prospective homeowner that may be considering placing their property on the market for sale. Peter Panagiotopoulos Melton South
