words of appreciation

george and jacinta howden

we have just recently sold our home through carole mccrea of mcconnell bourn. we chose to list our property with mcconnell bourn because of the courtesy and service they showed us when we were in the market to purchase 16 years ago.


we had several agents in and had varying price ranges quoted to us. carole and matthew were extremely positive but also very realistic. the marketing programme was reasonably priced and they helped us make the right decisions on how to present the house to maximise value.


carole was our primary contact and she continually kept us updated and informed of all activity. we were very pleased with the outcome and really felt that carole was extremely aware of the market conditions by preparing us with a realistic price at the beginning of the marketing strategy we were able to sell our home prior to auction within the 5 week planning marketing programme.

i wanted to write and express my sincere and heartfelt thanks for all your assistance with the successful sale of my home. your professionalism, integrity and personal warmth have helped make a stressful process a far easier one than it might have been and I am delighted with the result, especially given the current difficult market conditions.

i wanted to thank you particularly for your conscientiousness in keeping me fully informed about the offers from both potential buyers and for not pressuring me in any way when presenting these offers to me. this helped me make my own decision in consultation with my legal advisor. therefore, I was completely comfortable with the fact that I had already accepted the young family’s offer, when subsequently you received two higher offers by phone from the other buyer; i had made a free decision and, as you know, i had no intention of going back on my word. thank you for giving me the mental space and freedom to do that.

as you know, bushlands has been a wonderful home for our family for eight years and it has been hard for us to make the decision to sell it. so it is a real bonus for me to find a buyer with a growing family who loves the house and the garden which was my husband paul’s pride and joy. he would have been so glad to know the garden was in good hands.

carole, you can be sure that I will have no hesitation in recommending you as an agent to friends and acquaintances, and I wish you well in all your future endeavours.

warmest regards

it has been a pleasure to have carole mccrea from mcconnellbourn real estate in lindfield act as my representative to sell my home at 29 bobbin head road, pymble.

carole has acted in an extremely supportive and informative way with honesty and has shown dedicationto the process of selling the family home, which was completed by auction on 13th august 2012. her support and advice regarding preparation of the property for sale with lists of numerous tradespersons to complete any repairs and maintenance to the property, were greatly appreciated and exceeded all expectations. Her ability to co-ordinate the sales process, open homes and liaison between purchasers and myself, the vendor, was exemplary.

i strongly support any vendor engaging carole mccrea for the sale of their home. they will be extremely well looked after and the end result will be satisfactory to all.

It is our pleasure to write a personal recommendation for Carole McCrea of McConnell Bourn Real Estate Agency.  We would like to thank Carole for working tirelessly on our behalf to ensure the successful sale of our property in a very challenged market. Carole showed extensive knowledge and understanding of current market trends and provided valuable information regarding recent and comparable sales.

We were particularly impressed with Carole’s professionalism and integrity as well as her punctuality and reliability. Carole maintained an excellent level of communication and kept us fully informed as to the progress of the campaign. We could not have asked for a more dedicated agent to guide us through the process, all the while minimizing the stress normally associated with the sale of a home.

Carole’s excellent job of marketing our property was evident through the extraordinary number of hits on the net and the numbers of prospective buyers who attended the open for inspections. Carole showed commitment, enthusiasm and an ongoing confidence that culminated in an excellent auction result. We will have no hesitation in recommending Carole to our family and friends should they decide to sell.

We wish to thank Carole McCrea for her hard work, perseverance and dedication in successfully selling our house.  At all times Carole was warm, professional, enthusiastic and responsive.  Carole kept us informed of all developments throughout the sale process and gave us honest and realistic feedback.  In short Carole was a pleasure to deal with and we have no hesitation in recommending her to prospective vendors.

I cannot recommend Carole McCrea highly enough. We tried and failed to sell our Pymble house in 2011 – and a big part of our mistake was in not first choosing Carole to be our agent.  Carole came back to us in 2012, full of energy and ideas about how to get the property sold. Having been burned before, we asked her to be realistic about our prospects. She did more that that: she injected new life into the campaign, working some incredible hours to follow up leads and continually thought of ways that would save us money and maximise our selling potential.  Carole is no someone who is put off by the ups and downs of the property market: she remained determined and optimistic, running at every problem and with an immediate solution.  It worked. Within 4 weeks, we had sold. We are very satisfied customers.
