NE Aspect - Reviews

If you’re in the market and need to purchase quickly. Lack the time and ability to spend the required on researching properties, viewing and self educating in the current market flows. Then buyers agents have their place. In my opinion it’s like any industry. The good the bad and the ugly. You certainly have to vet in your own way.Although reluctant, I contacted six Buyers Agents. All but one had a set price going in. That in my mind would alleviate some of the scepticism of the conspiracy percentage traps.The first buyers agent was suggested by my broker. I thought that would also reduce conflict. A young buck that really had no idea on what professionalism meant. I emailed him, admittedly late Friday evening with questions. I subsequently emailed again on Sunday to please confirm receipt of my email. Monday morning I emailed a final time letting him know I would appreciate a reply.Late Monday, he finally replied in a passive aggressive state and excuse. He believed he should not be required to work seven days and he focuses on his paying clients. Well, that was the point he was no longer a consideration. Going forward I used this litmus test to filter my consecutive buyers agents.After my initial telephone calls to five agents. I sent emails after hours on Friday to see who would have the professionalism to at least reply prior to Monday.The only person to show such fortitude was Marika Martinez from NE Aspect Buyers Agency.She had my attention. After a quick chat over the phone. I found her to be a no nonsense professional that had years of industry experience. A part from living locally, Marika was knowledgeable in the local market and shared no holds barred opinions on the way to move forward.There was no self grandeur or car sales person rehearsed superiority. Just a straight shooting “just the facts, ma’am” kind of person. I then decided to give Marika a try. After my initial phone call to her Friday she sent an email of introduction, a clients brief and fee schedule & services document.As mentioned before, I replied to her late Friday with a few common questions.Marika was the only buyers agent that replied before Monday. Actually, it was very early the next day. Sceptics might say, well that means she is not busy. Well, that did enter my mind. However, if someone shows enough professionalism and fortitude to reply before 7:30 am, even if it was a quick response (i.e. sorry it’s a busy time I will endeavour to answer your questions as soon as possible.) That shows me, they are at least professional & of a certain character. That being said, she answered all of my questions.Monday I signed the agency agreement.Wednesday she sent video walkthroughs of four apartments that fit my criteria. Thursday she sent my preferred property Strata Report and Contract of Sale. Thursday Marika liaised throughout the day with me, my Conveyancer and the Sellers Agent.Although the property of interest was set for auction she suggested if I was interested on the property and everything with the reports and the conveyancer was happy. We should make an offer as there were other interested parties.Friday we made our initial offer, to and fro multiple calls, texts and emails to me, my conveyancer and the sellers agent. We finally came to an agreement and acceptance of my final offer. Contracts were signed & exchanged by close of business Friday.So after spending two months searching, researching and viewing over twenty properties, making two unsuccessful offers on other apartments. Five days utilising the services of Marika at NE Aspect Buyers Agents, I secured my new apartment.In the current Sydney property market. Time is definitely money. I am kicking myself I didn’t hire Marika two months ago. Prices are crazy and time is certainly the essence.Wow, what a whirlwind. If you’re in search of a new home house or apartment and contemplating using a buyers agent I would highly recommend you give Marika a call.I will definitely be using Marika in future property purchases.Sincerely,B.

Marika was awesome and her knowledge of the market and realtors exceeded our expectations, Marika kept us well informed and guided us. Not having the pressure from the selling agent and letting Marika handle it, let my wife and I concentrate on the big decisions and our kids, making the process easy and a lot less stressful. I recommend her services to anyone. Tytus

Marika did a fantastic job for us. Not living local to the area we purchased in, Marika covered a lot of ground inspecting properties for us and helped narrow our brief and search during the process. The transaction and negotiation was professional and got a good result.
