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.

We were searching and missing out on properties for well over a year. So we decided to engage the help of a buyers agent. Marika instantly took away all our of frustrations and we found and successfully purchased our first home in just 2 weeks!! Marika is great negotiator and we are thankful for all the private inspections she arranged. I’d recommend her to anyone trying to purchase a home. Thank you Marika!

Marika has been absolutely instrumental in our house search journey. We initially engaged with her a year ago but decided to hold off until our baby arrived to properly start the search. She is highly consultative, caring, transparent in all of her communications with us. She made us feel truly supported and made this whole daunting process very smooth and worry free. It has been a real pleasure working with you, Marika. Thank you!!
