Testimonials

More extended testimonials and phone references are available upon request but here’s a sample of what some of our clients have to say about our service…

I had been planning the purchase of my new home for many years and had been thwarted by the pressure of work commitments and the time needed to go out and look at properties. I had specific requirements which meant that I would have needed to look at many homes in my quest. Jacque and Theresa took my wishlist and only showed me only those homes that suited. They listen and provide constant feedback, which is comforting when you hand over such a personal task. When it came time to negotiating price, I was impressed with the research and analysis in determining the “right” price for the property. Jacque is truly an expert at negotiation and I am more than happy with the final price.

Using House Search has saved me money, not only with the price, but also by buying quickly. I didn’t suffer any market price movements that might have occurred had I been forced to take the long route in doing it myself.
Thankyou Jacque and Theresa for your great personal service, for the constant contact and your genuine joy at reaching a fantastic conclusion in finding me my new dream home.
I will recommend you to everyone- you provide a great service.
Rita, Bella Vista

Jacque and Theresa provided us with a level of service that went above and beyond our expectations. They have a very profound and up-to-date knowledge of the property market and their comments are always incisive, insightful and “value-add”. From scoping the search through to finding a managing agent, their expertise saved us many hours of valuable time, effort and money. Indeed, they actually made the whole process of searching for a house an enjoyable and also an educational experience.
Jacque and Theresa communicated with us on a regular basis and kept us informed of any developments (often on a daily basis). Their knowledge and experience helped us to secure our first home in an area that we originally thought would be beyond our budget. We simply could not have purchased our home without their assistance. We are glad that we engaged the services of House Search Australia, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a property.
Andrew and Shida, Roseville

I found Jacque and Theresa from House Search to be very professional buyers’ agents. I found their advice and experience to be invaluable in helping to secure a great property at a fantastic price in a quiet street in Greenwich, a leafy suburb close to the city centre.
On top of my own criteria House Search offered me their experience and knowledge on what they considered one should look for in finding a superior investment property.
The cost of using House Search more than paid for itself with the great negotiating skills Jacque and Theresa used, helping to secure my property at a very good price.
I plan one day in the future to buy another investment property in Sydney and House Search will be my first stop for advice on where I should buy and what I should pay.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Shannon, Melbourne (purchased in Greenwich)

On behalf of myself and Maggie, we would like to express our appreciation for the professional service provided in the recent purchase of our new home in the Hills area…
Your approach to evaluating and then negotiating the final price was very comforting to us as we knew at all times that we were dealing with a professional who had lots of experience. You kept us updated during the entire evaluation and negotiation process and quickly returned all our calls and emails.
Jacque is a woman of integrity and a pleasure to work with during what can be described as one of the most exciting/stressful times in your life. Fortunately for us, there was minimal stress since Jacque had everything so organised.
I recommend Jacque, without any reservations, to anyone interested in buying a new home and who doesn’t want emotions to get in the way of decision making.
Jose and Maggie, Castle Hill

Ash and I live in Perth and recently bought our first property in Cherrybrook. As young professionals, our time was extremely limited to search for the right property- especially one in another state. That is why we decided to engage Jacque for Option 1.
This is the best decision we made. Jacque’s knowledge of the Sydney market, dedication to finding a property that met our search criteria, exceptional communication skills, unwavering patience and agressive negotiation skills secured us an incredible property for a price that was much lower than the vendor’s asking price.
Jacque was recommended to us and we now unreservedly recommend her to our friends. Jacque will be our first call when we buy our next Sydney property.
Thankyou for an outstanding job!
Elaine and Ashley, Perth (purchased in Cherrybrook)

House searching is tedious and time consuming. Jacque did all the initial searching and inspecting, weeding out the lemons (and explained clearly why they were so) before driving us around to the worthy shortlisted candidates. Just imagine the headache if we’d had to do all this ourselves whilst doing our day jobs!
After finding the house we wanted, Jacque was able to negotiate a very fair price- because she knows the bargaining points of property in question relative to the market of the area. We would have been unlikely to achieve this ourselves without that expert knowledge.
Jacque was courteous and very prompt in answering our emails and phone calls (we did ask a lot of questions).
The subsequent buying experience proved us correct in hiring Jacque. It was money well spent. Most importantly, she earnt our trust; you know you are in good hands.
If we had to buy a second house, we definitely would use Jacque’s services again.
Wing and Cheryl, Quakers Hill

I engaged the services of House Search to assist in procuring a Sydney investment property in 2008.  The level of service received during the entire process was very high, from the initial meeting through to settlement of the property.  Jacque’s knowledge of optimal criteria for selecting a property through her experience as a property investor was invaluable to the process.  On a number of occasions Jacque could have taken the easy option however her priority was ensuring we secured the best property available.  I would recommend House Search highly on this basis.
David, Brisbane (purchased in Bella Vista)

House Search has been a delight to work with, totally professional and totally committed with impeccable customer service, passion and talent which made our property purchase as painless as possible…Left to our own devices we would never have been able to consider this fabulous house and would have certainly over extended our budget without Jacque’s support. She held our hand the entire way, gave us so much of her time and invaluable knowledge so that we are now very comfortable and happy with our decision. Never did we expect to end up with a home of this quality in such a fabulous location.  We would have no hesitation in making a recommendation and would use House Search again.
Fred and Wendy, Castle Hill

Having your assistance was invaluable as your inside market information most definitely saved me money, returned to me in the purchase price.  I also thank you for your ability to quickly pick up on what it was that I was actually looking for and then to be able to canvass the market for properties that fit my profile. Once again, thanks a lot!
Damien, Castle Hill

I have no hesitation in recommending Jacque to anyone looking to purchase a property on the North Shore or the northern suburbs of Sydney.  She is professional, enthusiastic and, despite her experience as a buyers agent, still gets a “buzz” from securing a property to match her clients wish list!  From a financial viewpoint, I’m also confident that the property was secured for a great price, especially when comparing the sale to similar properties in the immediate vicinity- more than saving us the cost of House Search’s very reasonable search fee.  Thanks Jacque!
Brad and Paula, Cootamundra (purchased in Naremburn)

If you are looking to buy a property, you cannot go past House Search.  Living in the country made it very difficult and expensive trying to find an investment unit.  Jacque could not have been more helpful in my endeavour to find a suitable property… When it came to negotiating prices with the agent, I thought she was extremely competent, certainly saving me money as she has great expertise in this area.  I would highly recommend Jacque to prospective property investors.
Paul, (purchased in St Leonards)

We found your whole approach as a Buyers Agent to be extremely professional, proactive and well informed.  The emails with the descriptions and web links worked well, especially for time-poor people. You definitely saved us time during the weekends, considering the amount of houses you researched for us.  Contact/communciation in general was responsive and to the point… your approach is very personable, yet efficient… Once again, many thanks!
Brett and Merel, Chatswood

Jacque was fantastic.  We engaged her to negotiate on our behalf for a property that we’d had our eye on for months.  She took the emotion out of the whole event and ran a very structured strategy, keeping us informed all along the way.  When the house went to auction, Jacque bid and negotiated a very successful conclusion, which is an area in which we believe she excels.  We have no hesitation in recommending House Search to anyone wishing to purchase a home, large or small.
Anthony and Theresa, Box Hill

I am so glad that I used the services of House Search- I can highly recommend Jacque and her team. She is a great person to have on your side and I was impressed with her invaluable knowledge, experience and impeccable customer service. During six weeks of negotiation, she demonstrated her talent, professionalism, persuasion and more importantly, flexibility to adopt a different strategy that finally got us the property at the price we were very happy with. The outstanding result proves the value in paying House Search, as they’re in the market every day doing all the hard work.  We look forward to utilizing their experience again.  Many thanks!
Yuni, Asquith

We found Jacque’s services invaluable in our purchase and would not hesitate to recommend House Search to family and friends.  She was able to quickly understand what type of home we had in mind, and ensured we didn’t waste any time inspecting any that didn’t meet our needs.  She was always easy to access and made every endeavour to be present for important stages of the buying process.  Buying our first home had always seemed like such a daunting task but with the help of House Search and Jacque, it was an enjoyable process- at every point she truly did advocate for us throughout.
Don and Geshani, Baulkham Hills

For me to enter the property market whilst working overseas was an impossible task. I just didn’t have the time, knowledge and energy to deal with real estate agents, so I acquired the assistance of a buyers agent.  It wasn’t until my third attempt, however, that I found Jacque from House Search, who made the other two Sydney buyers agents I first started with look like “shiny suit salesmen” in comparison.  Smooth talkers but poor performers. Over a period of 12 weeks, Jacque analyzed 77 properties and inspected 17 to determine if they would fit my requirements for an investment property…each week I received reports - it was obvious to me that local knowledge was very important.  Without Jacque’s assistance, there is no doubt I would have overpaid due to competition pressure.  I cannot speak highly enough of Jacque.  I entrusted her with my most important investment to date and I will definitely be using her services again in the near future.  Thankyou!
Stephen (puchased in Quakers Hill)

We have been extremely pleased with the service you have provided us- we couldn’t have secured our “dream” house in today’s competitive market without your help.  If it were left to us, we would have missed out or ended up paying too much.  You took the stress out of the process and I’ve learnt a lot about the property market and how it works.  If we were to ever purchase another property, we will certainly be coming to you for help.  It’s been great dealing with you and and we will definitely be recommending House Search to everyone we know in the market.  Thanks again.
Jasmin and Peter, Baulkham Hills

Jacque’s service is fantastic; in fact I honestly don’t know how it could be better. Her passion for property is evident from the second you meet her and I felt straight away that she understood what I was looking for. Once we selected a property, her army of professional contacts swung into action and made the purchase a breeze from start to finish. To top it off she negotiated down the purchase price by more than her entire fee! Thank you Jacque and HSA! You rock!
Donovan (purchased in Blacktown)

Put simply, selecting House Search Australia was one of the best decisions we ever made- without the team we wouldn’t own a house.  From the initial meeting to the successful purchase took 3 months in total.  Every step of the way the team were there to guide us, providing expert advice that fitted our specific needs… after several near misses Jacque managed to successfully secure our property in Artarmon.  This was done in an extremely competitive and fast-paced market- despite this she managed to negotiate a price below market value on the first day the property was offered, all within our agreed budget.  I can’t speak highly enough of the professionalism and service that the House Search team provide which made the whole process every straightforward for us.  We learned so much from the team and look forward to partnering with them in the future for our next search. Best wishes and sincere thanks again.
Damien and Aisling, Artarmon
