Testimonials

We were very happy with the sale of our apartment earlier this month, thanks to the team at Devine. This was our first sale so we greatly valued the time taken by David, Adrian and Jane to explain the process to us and answer any questions we had. The initial pitch very helpfully talked through how the campaign would work, timelines and costs that ultimately gave us comfort about what we were undertaking. Each of Adrian, David and Jane spoke with certainty and provided their advice, even when that involved a re-tune of our expectations in the current market. I asked for up-front, honest opinions rather than unrealistic, sugar-coated promises and I'm confident that's what David gave us. Although the market seems to be going through a tricky time, the fact that we could lock in a result two weeks after listing with settlement terms that worked for us was impressive and gave us great peace of mind. We will recommend the team at Devine Dulwich Hill, acknowledging their knowledge of the market, capacity to provide solid advice and answer questions, not to mention getting a good result.

After interviewing a number of local agents to sell our home, we came across David Diamantopoulos from Devine Real Estate Dulwich Hill/Marrickville. We knew instantly that David was the standout. From the start, David was approachable, professional, prompt, reliable, has an easy friendly manner, extremely knowledgeable and communicates effectively. He returns calls and responded to all our messages immediately. Any concerns we may have had, David addressed and put us at ease. He is flexible and went out of his way for us. We are so appreciative. David sold our property in a difficult, slow, downward market, however through his excellent negotiation skills achieved the street record and best price for our property within 2 weeks. We are very happy with David and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. A special mention also to Adrian Abrook, Jane Saliba and David's entire team at Devine Real Estate Dulwich Hill/Marrickville who worked seamlessly and effortlessly to provide the best results for our sales campaign. Well done.

The highest praise I can give David is that he kept his word to me. I’m a first home buyer and have found the process of negotiating a purchase quite terrifying. I generally refuse to give out my mobile number until I get to the point where I am actually interested in a property, and from personal negative experience I don’t trust anything an agent tells me. I didn’t trust David either, but once we exchanged contracts I realised he’d been honest with me and had stuck to his word. I am really grateful to him. You have to be a pretty good agent to end up with a happy vendor *and* a happy purchaser!

David and the team supported me through every step in the sales journey, presenting options and advice. Selling is stressful, but much reduced through their management of the logistics. I was able to trust the team to get me to a sale even though I had left the city. The were my eyes, ears and arms! Go with an agent that deeply knows your property and has years of experience in your micro suburb.

What could have been a stressful procedure is over, made less stressful by David Diamantopoulos and the Devine team. A special mention to Jane - what an asset. From the start where we interviewed three Real Estate Agencies, it was clear that David from Devine stood out. All matters of the procedure including choices for marketing with a timeline were laid out. We wanted painting, internal cleaning including carpets, garden refurbishment, rubbished removed, some general repairs and styling done as well. We knew enough from TV shows that a house needed to be presented as best as possible for sale. David listened, and got back to us with a list of contacts that did the job cheaply and well, making the $20,000 spent a worthwhile investment. From the start we were kept informed of all enquiries, contracts issued etc. In a slowed buyer's market, we seemed to buck the trend with an incredible result. Were we lucky? Yes, I guess, but behind that luck was a lot of preparation by tradespeople, our own willingness to get stuck in and also to listen to David and his recommendations. We did VERY well on auction day. It all started with picking the right Real Estate Agency and a willingness to listen to suggestions on strategy by them. We'd highly recommend David to friends and neighbours contemplating a sale.

Having extensively interviewed 3 Inner West agents over the phone and checked their online reviews it became very clear David ticked all the boxes. Living 1,000km away it still however felt a little like a leap of faith but I could not have wished for more. Integrity, proactive, professional and with extensive local knowledge and experience, David (and Jane Saliba) treated my property as if it were their own. A bit of a refresh (minor repairs, fresh paint and new flooring) and styling was recommended which they helped organise and manage on my behalf, keeping me updated every step of the way with a combination of emails, photos, phone calls and texts. From my perspective the entire process (from initial appointment to a great result and through to settlement) was largely hassle free, low stress and easy as a result of trusting a business that exceeded expectations. I have already highly recommended David and Jane to several people and will continue to do so without hesitation.

David was very professional, easy to talk to and i would recommend him to anyone who was planning to sell in the area.

My husband and I recently sold our house. For both of us, this was the first house we have ever sold, so it is fair to say we knew next to nothing about the process involved ! From the outset, David was honest, reliable and helpful. He was able to provide us with a team of recommended professionals, all of whom proved to be fantastic at what they did and were critical in helping us to achieve what we needed to. David has immense expereince and knowledge of the market, and was able to predict with accuracy what our house could sell for. He was honest and upfront about this, whereas some other agents we consulted over-quoted us. David and his team at Devine utilised the media extremely well and brought a staggering number of potential buyers through our open homes each week. David and his team were consistently easy to communicate with and great to deal with. In a declining real estate market, David achieved a sale price for our home which my husband I were delighted with. I am very grateful to David and have no hesitation in recommending he and his team to others looking to sell their home.
