Re: Using Andrew McCalman & Hayden Real Estate South Yarra
We had issues from the beginning trying to sell our apartment in St Kilda which was partly due to the market and poor effort on the part of the first agent we employed to list and sell our property. Then we ran into a neighbour who had listed and sold her property in a week using \"this guy\" from Hayden\'s called Andy who we should speak to, naturally we did and haven\'t looked back since then.
Not only was Andy a professional in his demeanour and process but he was more importantly genuine and listened to our needs and motivators behind the decision to sell. This is something which sounds fundamental but I defy people to find a sales person in any industry with integrity, honesty and a genuine drive to fulfil client emotional/financial drivers as it is most relevant to them.
Conducting more up front investigation of potential buyers rather than trying to impress us with volumes of random people that walk through our private living space. Privately walking a pre-screened client through the property to give the buyer a better experience is also equally important in the process of selling for us and we really thought this was the difference.
Andy\'s communication and transparency in all dealings with the process, whether it be positive messages or not, always delivered a diplomatically truthful response to ensure we were never not informed throughout the process.
The methodology by which Andy and Hayden Real Estate put the client and their needs at the forefront are what you see in the world\'s best service companies like Apple or Uber which is in stark contrast to any real estate agents I have ever seen or worked with.

Josh,This is a big thank you for your help in the sale of my property.Settlement is now complete and I am very happy with the price received and the whole sales process.As you are aware I had the property listed with another agent for over 9 months with no result and not a lot of feedback. Within a few weeks of listing with you the property was sold despite a few problems that arose through no fault of yours or mine. I was very pleased with the effort you made to keep the buyer informed and still keen to proceed with the purchase.I chose you as an agent after you diligently persisted in contacting me over an extended period of time. It was your persistence that convinced me that you had the qualities that any seller would require of their agent.Your initial quote for the property was below what I was prepared to accept so thank you for achieving a price well above that, and what I was seeking.Until next time and with thanks,Gary Martin

Big thank you to Josh Trevitt for helping me and my wife purchase our first home in South Yarra! Josh was highly professional and did a superb job liaising between us and the vendor. He was efficient and a great communicator and made sure we were well informed of any paper work or issues that arose. With Josh's help we bought this property through a private sale and this saved us a lot of time as we are both busy professionals. More importantly, both we and the vendor were happy with the price of the property. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such an outstanding real estate agent and we would recommend Josh to anyone who wishes to sell or buy a house.

At all points along the sale process I was informed and updated of the state of the market, my property, and of the interested customers.
One of the beauties of the ‘closed tender’ approach is that you don’t have the pressure of an auction (for the buyer and the seller) , and yet you still obtain the results of a highly competitive auction – without the additional associated costs.
The process was easier for me as my property was rented out (and managed by Hayden) and so there was no rush to sell; the optimum prices was going to be obtained.

Christian.

Dear Prospective Seller
I wish to tell you our experience of selling two properties, one in Feb 2015 and the other in Mar 2015. Completely different - one I would recommend and definitely not the other!
In late 2014 we had decided to sell our home in Brunswick East and another two bedroom weatherboard in Brunswick in order to buy another family home in the suburbs. We put our home on the market with a large real estate agency in the Inner North that does about 70% of the sales in the area. This was in November 2014. We sold with a partner in the firm and it took 2.5 months to sell and we had weekly open inspections to prepare for, even through Christmas and New year. We tried so many avenues to sell the house and in the end that agency did not deliver on anything it had agreed on. We were told they have a list of clients looking to buy but I question this and ultimately it didn\'t produce an offer. It was a tiring and disappointing process and the price we got was satisfactory but nothing beyond that. Inspections were set up on our behalf without inquiring on their whether the person even had finances ready. We had to prepare the house while caring for a two year old for 2.5 months! At least 25 inspections - waste of energy and time.
It was by sheer coincidence that I got to sell the other two bedroom weather with Rudy. Rudy was just making a routine call to touch base as we lease through Hayden.
We were a little surprised (and skeptical) by how different the marketing and selling is done by Hayden- the silent auction and the competition amongst the staff in the firm. However, it worked! The property was sold within 2 weeks of signing up Rudy. In fact the photos were only done the week we got the offers. We were pleasantly surprised. Rudy and his colleagues achieved this with a handful of inspections which is good for our tenants. I could not afford to have the tenants vacate so we definitely didn\'t want to them to experience the hassle we had with selling our house.
Looking back we decided to sell with Hayden probably because we were so dissatisfied with the other firm.
Rudy is hard working and pleasant to work with. He is careful with people and opportunities. He is strategic with marketing and his strategies worked for us. He is a good communicator and open. We got a price above what we were expecting and the house he sold had more problems that our home. The internal competition within the firm actually works and I put it down to them having the right people in it. I was impressed with the way Rudy handed the outcome when his colleague produced a better offer and Rudy encouraged us to take it. The model Hayden uses places the incentives in the right place so the sellers interests come first rather than the agency or the agent. And they have people with the right mindset to drive it.
Actually, we were leasing this weatherboard house with 2 other local agencies before we got onto Hayden. These agencies lost keys and didn\'t show up to inspections. I got really frustrated. The only reason we got Hayden to sell is because he had my number from other \'house shopping\' we did and Rudy offered 6 months free leasing fee to try out Hayden. Their leasing department is SO much better. They returns calls, no lost keys, no hassles. So the fact we were customers in the first place was due to Rudy\'s dedication and hard work. Rudy was always on time also- even with the Melbourne traffic.
All the best with your sale. I recommend Rudy and Hayden\'s model for selling property. I would sell again with them.

Andy is a true professional who has had many years in this industry and you can tell. I never once felt like I didn\'t know what was happening as Andy kept me in the loop at all times. He was respectful of my home and my time.
From the beginning I felt comfortable that Hayden was the right choice for me as once I met with Andy and the team the process was easy. Within 2 weeks I had sold my apartment and I also got what I wanted in price.
I want to sincerely thank Andy and his team for the wonderful work that they have done. I appreciate so much.
Thank you again to all especially to you Andy.

Dear Rudy,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say how grateful I was to you for managing the sale of my rental property in South Yarra.
It must not have been easy to sell a property that was tenanted however given the tenant was not put through endless open for inspections and that any appointments for viewing the property for sale were genuine, I am sure keeping the tenant happy must have helped and that is thanks to you.
I also wanted to thank you for the good timeframe for the sale. The market wasn’t great at the time with many new and better properties on the market however you managed to find me a buyer so I am very grateful for this.
Your enthusiasm, friendliness and ability to keep me up to date was fantastic and I would highly recommend you to future vendors.
Thanks again for looking after me and the sale!
Kind regards

To Whom It May Concern;
Recently, I asked Andrew McCalman to act on my behalf in the sale of a property that I had considerable difficulty selling for some time. I was residing in New South Wales and was unable to meet with Andrew and was forced to conduct the entire process from a distance.
Despite the complicated circumstances of this sale, Andrew accepted the challenge and provided me with excellent advice on the best and most effective way to undertake the sale. He was honest and pragmatic with his advice and made me feel quite confident and comfortable leaving the entire process in his capable hands. He was constantly in touch with me, reporting his progress and within a few short weeks, pursued the sale of my property to a successful conclusion. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew as an honest and very effective real estate Salesperson.

I just want to thank you so much for your professionalism and support in helping make the sale of my property as stress free as possible. I have been so impressed with your manner and how you kept me informed every step of the way.
It made a huge difference for me and I cannot thank you enough. I put in an offer on a property in Flinders Street today and I must admit the agent was not very impressive at all. His manner was almost bordering on indifference.
So a big thank you- I was very happy with the price and could not fault anything.

Rudy Van Der Berg came to my house at a time when I was beginning to think of selling. He explained carefully and convincingly that the marketing method used by Hayden Real Estate was superior to others available.
This proved to be the case. Within two weeks I had a contract signed.
Throughout the process Rudy was sympathetic to my wishes and concerns. At all times I was confident that he had my interests at the forefront of his negotiations. He worked tirelessly to achieve the result I wanted.
The company’s methods and Rudy’s application of them meant that the selling of my house was much less stressful than I had anticipated. So a big thank you to Rudy especially for his work on my behalf.

I listed my investment property with Andrew McCalman of Hayden Real Estate which I needed to sell sooner than later. This was a difficult product to sell due to size and bank restrictions however the cash offer with a two week settlement suited our circumstances very much. Andrew worked hard to find the most suitable buyer for us without adding special conditions and restrictions into the contract of sale.
The No Sale No Charge approach ensured us that we were in safe hands at all times and would recommend Andrew to other sellers in the near future.

We decided to use Andy and Hayden Real Estate based on the fact that we weren’t going to risk a sale with full advertising costs and public auction.
Of course, when selling two houses next door to each other there were some issues along the way with developers however Andy ensured us that the ultimate goal would be achieved. After a somewhat stressful process with developers and banks “We Made It”.
I know that Andy always was there shoulder to shoulder with my family and I and we thank him for that.
Since the sale Andy has assisted to buy other properties with other agents and the help has been valuable.
Again, thanks!!

Settlement is today on this property and Theresa and i just wanted to drop you a line of thanks for your work in facilitating this purchase. After our first viewing we basically wrote it off as a investment unit only. Your decision to represent it cleaned (and cleared out) was the only reason our interest was reignited. It still took a further 3 visits for us to visualize its potential, thank you so much for organizing these private viewings. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to any family or friends who are considering selling a property.
