Robert Sheahan's Testimonials

Rob is very friendly and professional. We felt he really knew the game. He listened to us and kept us informed at all times. He sold our rental property in June 2017 and we were so impressed with him that we chose him again this time.

I first met Robert Sheahan in 2015 when he sold us our investment property. I was blown away with how professional his team were and what a great job he did for the vendor (and purchaser of course!). Robert continued to keep in touch after the auction. When we were ready to sell our home earlier this year I called Robert straight away. He came through our property and provided information and tips on how we could maximise our campaign. I’m so glad we signed Robert and the Fletchers team. He helped us achieve $118,000 over our reserve.

We found Robert and Team Sheahan excellent communicators and very accessible for any questions we had. We appreciate the enthusiasm and energy that Robert exudes in his auctioneering skills. His passion for real estate is very evident. The result achieved for our property was excellent.

Rob had assisted us in the purchase of our home and we found him honest, diligent and very helpful. We felt very comfortable with the process and Rob was always ready to assist in any way. I considered him to be exceptional and had no hesitation in calling on him to sell our house. I also believe that Fletchers have an excellent reputation an I have recommended them to others. Thank you Rob and David Mc Gowan and the Fletchers team.

Sam helped us through what could have been a very stressful campaign. He was very informative all along the journey and with Robert Sheahan, the auctioneer, helped achieve a wonderful result for us. I have already ‘sung their praise’ to others.

Approachable, happy personalities, funny, very profession and well presented.

I had been recommended to Fletchers by my sister in law. I couldn’t be happier with the service. Stefan was in contact after every open day, which was twice a week. Had given advice prior to listing; what was needed to prepare the property prior to going on the market. On auction day Stefan and Rob gave us their professional advice on what to do on the day and after with any process that has to be done and finalised the sale on the day. I would be happy to recommend Stefan, Rob and Fletchers to anyone that requires a property to sell or purchase.

We were very impressed with Robert, David and Jeanne. They kept us in the loop all the time with constant feedback after open for inspections. Robert and David were very honest, especially regarding the price of the house. David looked after Tina at the opens.

I have been involved with estate agents four times. Fletchers were by far the best agents as they were very professional and gave us constant, honest feedback. David and Robert were very friendly and approachable. They went above and beyond to make the sale of our parents’ home a stress free event. Well done, Thank you for your assistance, care and friendly manner. Wishing you all the best.

One of the standout comments in my first conversation with Rob was our shared belief that ‘relationships are the key’ and that selling a home required diligently acting in the best interests of the Vendor but also being available to purchasers. There were many aspects that combined to achieve a great outcome – the Fletchers’ team; David, Jeanne and others were available to guide and support the process throughout. David, like Rob, inspired trust and confidence and was a delight to deal with. Rob’s energy, enthusiasm, positive attitude and focused approach helped me to remain on track throughout the campaign. His local knowledge, continuous information flow, updates following each open and discussions on the best options leading to Auction ensured I was informed and part of the process. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you.

Fletchers’ and Rob were recommended at the last moment when I was about to appoint another Agent. Rob made time to see me at short notice. He explained Fletchers’ approach and sales record in the area. His appraisal gave a lower price than the other agents, with rational, including that the market had recently leveled off and that he would rather under-promise and over-achieve. His team achieved a great presence by buyers at auction, including two who were very keen. The result exceeded our expectations. Well done Rob and Stefan.

Rob was friendly, hard-working, professional and knowledgeable. I was very happy with the price that he got for my property. But, I was even more impressed with his efforts to help me find a new home. Now I also admire his sincerity and desire to help others. I absolutely made the right decision in selecting Rob.

Honest and consistent in their message. Feedback was constructive and both are well informed. Pleasant to deal with. We did not seek other agents and did not negotiate on fee structure/ advertising.

I am very satisfied with all that was, and is being done, in the sale of the property. I thought I was getting special treatment but I would think all clients get that. I am not aware of anyone wishing to sell their property but if I do I will most certainly recommend Fletchers Blackburn.

Very impressed with the candid and honest approach to the assessment of the property. The constant communication regarding open days was excellent and the accurate feedback was appreciated. We also appreciated the hard work done on auction day and were very pleased with the outcome.

We wanted to take this opportunity to formally thank you for your work in selling our property on 19 September 2015. 2015 has been a year of unexpected shifts for us, and listing our property for sale was not something we had considered in any serious manner before the middle of July. We consider it a credit to your calm professionalism and the organisation of your team – in particular Jeanne and David – that listing and selling our property was a straightforward and successful process in such a short time frame. You and your team were at all times approachable, respectful, calm and communicated with clarity – we are grateful to have worked with you. We thank you for your flexibility in working with our wishes for the film; it was without a doubt a key aspect in securing the outstanding result at our auction. It would be remiss of us not to congratulate you for your natural and down to earth auction style. While we could hear you on the day we have since viewed the film of the auction and we both remarked that you were at – ease, approachable and genuinely seemed to enjoy calling the auction. The respect and appreciation you showed to us for the listing, to the area and the property itself, and to bidders on the day, as well as your touches of humour during the auction, made the experience wholly enjoyable. Certainly our result at auction was an extremely pleasing one. Undoubtedly, bidders play their cards close to their chests in the lead up to the auction but we appreciated being kept informed as to the interested parties and their feedback on the property as well as their intentions on auction day. In reality, it seems fair to say the result exceeded all the expectations that buyers were giving us but it was plain to see on the day that you, David and Riley worked collaboratively to help secure that result. Again, we thank you for the manner in which the three of you went about this; the auction at no stage felt like buyers were being bullied or manipulated and we both appreciated you pausing to thank bidders sincerely for their interest as the auction neared its close. You know, Rob, that we worked with you based on a recommendation from Jackie Evers and we are both happy to say that we are glad we decided to do so. Please know that we will happily recommend your services as listing agent and auctioneer in future and we trust that friends and associates will enjoy similarly successful campaigns with you and your team. With sincere thanks and gratitude.

I am writing on behalf of the Bosworth family to express out appreciation and satisfaction with Fletchers and more specifically one of your Directors, Robert Sheahan, in regard to the recent sale of the Burwood East property. Having used Fletchers several years ago to sell another property, we again sought out the services of Robert Sheahan to handle to sale. At the first meeting with Robert, we explained the importance of achieving a good result at auction to ensure Mrs Bosworth could manage the move into an aged care facility. With this in mind Robert organised an effective campaign to maximise the sale process. My wife and I were overseas for most of the campaign but were kept fully informed at all times. Robert informed us of each Open Day result and after our return, arranged meetings to ensure that we fully understood both the positives and negatives of the campaign to date. Auction Day was really well organised and the predetermined strategies Robert had discussed with us were implemented in a highly effective manner. Robert worked very hard to achieve an excellent sale price for Mrs Bosworth - a result that exceeded expectation. A brilliant outcome! The family have expressed our appreciation to Robert for the excellent communication, organisation and professionalism he displayed on behalf of Fletchers, however we would like you to know how impressed we were with his efforts and what an asset he is to your company. We will be very happy to recommend Fletchers at every opportunity based upon our dealings with your company. Regards from very satisfied customers.

My husband and I were extremely happy with the sale of our property by Fletchers. Our agents, lead by Robert Sheahan, were fantastic. They always kept us informed and gave us some very worthwhile advice. We always felt comfortable and this contributed to a very exciting and profitable result.

Meeting Rob, I felt at once he was the right person for this job, selling my home. Also the rest of the crew – you all made it so easy for me. Thank you all for your help and during the time of the sale, your friendship.

I first met Robert three years ago when I was attending auctions to buy a house. He left a big impression on me then, therefore I contacted him this time when I planned to sell my house. I am glad that I did. Through his help, I was able to sell my house at the price I wanted to. I feel that Robert will be a famous auctioneer.

The experience we had with Fletchers with selling our first home was brilliant. We actually purchased this same home through Fletchers to begin with. We would like to sincerely thank Ben Williams, Robert Sheahan and Jeanne Kalopita for the great result that you achieved for our family. Your warm, professional and no-nonsense approach was particularly appreciated. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends who are considering selling their home.

Thank you Steven for all your hard work to promote the house. Thanks also to Robert Sheahan, Sue-Ann Scott and the team. It was a great effort on the day! Anyone that wants to sell, I highly recommend Fletcher’s Real Estate.

From our first meeting to his performance on auction day, it was great to know that Rob had our interests at heart. Selling a property is always an emotional experience, Rob made a great partnership for our recent selling experience.

Rob was very impressive from the first time we met him. We had planned to speak to 3 agents, but after our meeting with Rob we were happy to go with Fletchers straight away. He was great throughout the whole process, and has even kept in touch after the sale.

Rob came recommended from a neighbour, and we would certainly do likewise if someone was considering a sale.

To Rob Sheahan, Jeanne Kalopita, Ben Strimling and the Team at Fletchers, thank you for all being so good at your jobs. Michael and I are pleased with the sale of our house over the weekend. We want to thank you all for your professionalism throughout the entire process.

We chose Fletchers out of the 2 others we looked into because of the amount of constant information through phone calls and emails we received when we were looking at houses to buy. Every week we were getting called and you were working with us then trying to find us what we wanted.

When we decided to sell, it was then easy to choose your agency based on experiencing how much feedback and attention we had as a potential buyer, knowing this would then be the case for

potential buyers for our house.

This has been our first time selling a house so the experience was new to us. We felt very informed at all points about what was going to happen and what was happening next. From when we received the laminated month long scheduled of what was going to happen each day we could wake up and tick that off the list. Everyone we met early on - the photographer, reporter, stylist (always accompanied by the lovely Jeanne) - were all very good at what they do. On the day of the first open we had missed a phone call from Rob but the very informative and detailed message he left helped us feel at ease and to know that he and everyone knew what they were doing and that Fletchers was the right agency for us.

Throughout the campaign we continued to feel well looked after as a seller and appreciated the small touches like the flowers that got sent for the last two weeks of the campaign and the constant stream of information about the status of our sale.

Auction day I assume will always be the most stressful day for a seller with all the unknowns about what will happen. When the auction was paused for us to discuss what was happening I was stressed but Michael was more calm and happy to take the advice of Rob. Later when it was all over I asked how he could be so calm and he said that we just needed to trust Rob's judgement because he knows what he is doing. This was true and was always evident throughout the campaign and ultimately proven when we had a successful auction.

I know this is wordy and lengthy but I just wanted to make you all aware that at every point in the process that we felt confident in the decision to have Fletchers sell our home because we trusted that you could do your job and do it well. Thank you for hard work for the last few weeks. We have been happy customers. In many years to come when we have to sell our next house we will definitely be coming back to Fletchers.

As soon as we met Rob we knew he was the agent we had to have representing us for the sale of our home. His sincerity, enthusiasm and approachable nature clearly set him apart from all of the other agents we had interviewed. Through Rob's experience he implemented some great strategies to market our home in the best possible way, kept us up to date throughout the sale process, and made sure every little detail was perfect. He ensured the entire sales campaign ran perfectly. We are absolutely thrilled with the final sale result that Rob achieved for us. It was far beyond our expectations and exceeded what comparable properties in our area have sold for. I know the buyers who came through our home would have appreciated his genuine approach and for us he made the whole process as stress free as possible. Rob did exactly what a great agent should do and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rob to anyone who is selling their home.

I interviewed five other agents before choosing Fletchers. I chose Fletchers because Robert and Ben came over as being very confident about their task and had youthful energy which I felt would be required to sell my house. As it turned out, Because the house had a heritage overlay, tight restrictions on vegetation in addition to being in an area of minimal development this proved correct and Robert and his team had to work very hard to secure the sale. Considering I had a very tight budget for publicity, the Fletchers team did an outstanding job, the highlight of which was to gain front page in the Domain section of The Age. To sum up I believe Robert Sheehan backed by his Fletchers Team did an outstanding job!

Rob did an outstanding job of selling our place. Although the buyers and market determines the price on the day, we were comfortable where the price guide sat and thought this would be a fair price. On Saturday the auction took some work to get going as my wife and I listened from the front bedroom. With a slow start to the auction and a vendor’s bid placed, Rob was able to establish momentum. With great banter and persistence he was able to get the bidders $25k over our reserve before announcing it on the market. From there, the house moved another $41k and when the hammer dropped we were delighted. Rob knew what we were looking for from the start and delivered a marketing and sales campaign that exceeded our expectations. Even when I thought it wasn’t the right direction to take, he explained the methods, market perception, customer trends and buying strategies to support his beliefs. It was fantastic that after a long day and having called another auction after ours, Rob took time to pop around and help us celebrate the outcome. Rob is a credit to Fletchers, but more importantly, himself. I would not hesitate in recommending or using Rob for any of my future residential and commercial property transactions and will be forwarding his name to anyone that is looking to buy or sell. I have bought and sold 15 properties in the last 20 years, and from here on in Robert Sheahan will be my only agent, irrespective of the brand.

From our first meeting to her performance on auction day, it was great to know that Rob had our interests at heart. Selling a property is always an emotional experience, Rob made a great partnership for our recent selling experience.

My husband had already decided on using Robert for the sale of our house after attending some of his auctions in the area! After our first meeting we knew we were in great hands, Rob’s understanding and knowledge of the local area is fantastic. He has been a pleasure to deal with through our very short campaign! We sold very quickly and appreciated the fact that he listened and worked hard towards achieving the best possible price for our property. Thank you for your professional service, we are so grateful!

The Fletchers team at Blackburn were fantastic to deal with throughout the sale of our property. Not only did we achieve a result that exceeded our expectations, but the entire campaign ran smoothly, we were given good advice, and their knowledge of the market and area assisted in every aspect. We are extremely happy clients and, should we need to sell again, we would definately give Ben Williams or Rob Sheahan a call.

Both Marg and I were very satisfied with the way the advice was given and in the way in which the negotiations were carried out to a successful conclusion by Rob Sheahan and Cristina Fotia. We were pleased that we did not have to go to auction and avoided that extra expense.

As soon as we met Rob we knew he was the agent we had to have representing us for the sale of our home. His sincerity, enthusiasm and approachable nature clearly set him apart from all of the other agents we had interviewed. Through Rob's experience he implemented some great strategies to market our home in the best possible way, kept us up to date throughout the sale process, and made sure every little detail was perfect.

Very happy with all aspects of the sale of my unit, handled by Robert and his team at Fletchers. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for future sales.
