To the Team at Baird Real Estate,
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated all your efforts, before I moved by sending me e-mails of available properties (you were the only Real Estate in Cessnock to do so).
Your overall professionalism and enthusiastic manner make you one of the best Estate agencies I have dealt with in my 30 plus years in the industry.
 
Thank you very much, Michael Hawkins

On coming back to Cessnock from Sydney, I contacted Heath on buying a property recently. I have dealt with Heath Baird previously when I purchased an investment property from him.
 
That went so smoothly that when I purchased the recent property, I called Heath to put a valuation on my present home in Cessnock. Heath suggested using an “over” price instead of a set price.
 
I thought this was a brilliant idea because my price could only increase instead of decreasing and that is exactly what happened. My house was sold the day after the “FOR SALE” sign went up and from Heath’s advice we obtained a great result without spending a lot of money on an expensive auction or marketing campaign.
 
If you are looking to buy or sell property from past and present experience, I would certainly recommend Heath from Baird Real Estate as your first contact.

Janis and I decided to sell our beautiful house in the Hunter Valley and decided to have the Baird Real Estate agency handle the sale. From having moved around the world several times we found Baird the best agency with which we dealt. Apart from a very professional approach on their part we found Renee to be very enthusiastic and dedicated to the task. Their marketing talent is excellent and, this combined with very good communications skills, has led to a good number of house visits by potential purchasers. We would not hesitate to recommend the Baird agency to anyone wishing to sell their house.

Thanks again for your and Heath's good assistance.

Cheers,

Adriaan.

Gareth and Susan were so friendly, helpful and understanding - it is amazing they are in real estate. They are very unlike ther other agents i had the misfortune to encounter. They do a great job and should have their efforts rewarded and recognised.

I would like to congratulate the team at Baird Real Estate particularly Kellie Williams who for the last 12 months has looked after my rental property at Aberdare in an extremely professional manner.
 
Having other Rental properties in the Newcastle region, Kellie definately would be without doubt my best property manager and makes having this investment easy!
 
Kellie has organized through the year numerous odd repair jobs, gained a good rent for my property, liased with new and old tenants very effectively so that when one tenant moved out another was already going in, supplied regular condition reports and provided a very good email service with a full breakdown of costs to make it easy come tax time!
 
Having interviewed most of the other Cessnock Firms to see who would be the best to look after my property, I can thoroughly recommend Kellie and her team at Baird Real Estate as the best of the other firms by a long way!
 
Regards,
Jeff Vale

I am an investor and a proprerty owner. I was recently dealing with Gareth from Baird Real Estate. I have a rental property at Cessnock that I was trying to lease. I was extroardinarily impressed with Gareth as a property manager. He was immediate with all actions and his communication skills were excellent, as well as his knowledge. Due to circumstances we were not needing to use Baird Real Estate, but I would like to say that when I need an agent whom I can trust I intend to call Gareth. His integrity and professionalism impressed me and he went above and beyond expectations especially considering services were not needed.

Thank you again Gareth.

Your sincerely,

Jason Fisher.

I found Kellie from Baird Real Estate to be professional and personable. After attempting to have family members manage our Cessnock property, it was a huge relief to have Kellie’s efficient and effective management. Her honesty and the manner in which she regularly inspects our property is refreshing and reassuring. I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

Gareth Hickey has been property managing my duplexes in Cessnock. I have found him to be extremely professional, courtieous and responsive to my requests as a property owner. It's great having someone looking after my property who I know will, 100% of the time follow up any requests made by me as well as being pro-active in dealing with issues before they turn into problems.
I would highly recommend Gareth's services to any prospective owners looking to appoint a property manager.

Dear Heath,
 
I would like to applaud the manner in which you dealt with the sale of our property in Cessnock.
 
Little did we expect a sale and exchange of contracts in just over one week. We are still in shock!
 
This is the second property we have sold through Baird Real Estate.  It is a pleasure to deal with
such a calm, professional, dignified and dilligent team.
 
Should the need arise in the future Baird Real Estate will be our first choice.
 
Congratulations and thank you

After having my investment property with another agent and vacant for two months I changed to Kellie at Bairds Real Estate and within two weeks she had found me an excellent tenant. Kellie is enthusiastic in her approach, has always been easy to contact, quickly follows up issues and gives me regular feedback regarding my property

Just a few words to let you know how much we appreciate the wonderful service that we received from Baird Real Estate when we sold our house recently. The friendly service and professional advice that we received from you, Joseph & Renee was second to none and to top that off you sold our house for us in 5 days. Thank you all at Baird Real Estate & keep up the good work. We would gladly recommend you for professional & friendly service.

We would to thank you for the efforts of yourself and your team in selling our property in Vineyard Grove, Cessnock. The property had been rented and listed for sale 1 year with another agency and we had nothing but troubles with both.
 
After much deliberation (on our behalf due to being loyal people), we listed our property with you and you had us an offer within weeks. The professionalism and open communication that flowed from your office was a breath of fresh air to us. Not only did the property get sold but a new, improved tennant was found in days and we saved money all round.
 
We highly recommend you and your team to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Cessnock area.
 
Thanks again, all the best

Dear Heath
 
Both Craig and I wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you have done selling our house.
 
We have been very impressed with everything from the initial valuation right through to settlement. Baird Real Estate were extremely professional and friendly at every point of contact. It was nice to be able to walk into the office on a few occasions and be greeted by staff who seemed genuinely interested in the progress of selling our house and who were keen to answer any questions or help in any way they could. We have certainly been spreading the word on how fantastic your team are and how easy you have made the whole process of selling our house. You kept us well informed through the whole process and that made us feel very at ease and that we had made the right decision choosing Baird Real Estate. 
 
Kind regards
Brooke and Craig
 
As a side note - I also wanted to let you know that the booklet you left behind after the valuation was very helpful and you were the only agent to leave any information behind. And we loved receiving the pics with the sold sign - another nice touch

We have been extremely happy with the professionalism, knowledge & communication shown by Heath & the staff at Baird's Real Estate.

I wanted to make a few notes and pass them onto you. I’d be more than happy for you to use them as a testimonial to the quality of service provided by you personally and your business, Baird Real Estate.

 “When mum passed away it was a very sad time for all the family. To then have to deal with the sale of her home and belongings to settle her estate was quite an emotional time.

I can’t speak highly enough of the way Heath handled the sale. He’d already had a client in mind when we first listed the property and it was only a matter of days before the deal was done so to speak. His knowledge of the market and the local area made him the logical choice.

Our choice of solicitor on the other hand, was not quite as astute and Heath handled the many issues that were caused with aplomb and dignity. When it looked like our quick sale might not happen, again it was Heath who sorted it out and kept it on track.”

 Thank you very much for your efforts from all of us.

Dear Heath, 
Many thanks to you for handling the sale of our investment property at South Cessnock. 
At all times you and your team were professional and 'on the ball' and as the house sold in a short few weeks, we were more than pleased with the price achieved. We particuarly liked being kept informed on developments as they occured - We didn't have to chase you - you came to us on a regular basis! 
We would have no hesitation in working with you & your team again. We would also be pleased to recommend Baird Real Estate to any of our associates who are buying/selling in the local area! 
Sincerely

We would like to thank Baird Real Estate for the way all our dealings with them have been dealt with professionally. We first had contact with them when we purchased a property in Aberdare. The salesperson at the time replied to our email enquiry within 24 hours and then went out of his way to show us the property. Since our initial dealings we have also sold, bought another property and they are currently managing our properties. Once again we found their services to be second to none. The staff are very efficient and always go out of their way to promptly relieve any of our concerns. Baird are a real estate agency that we would recomend without hesitation to anyone who wants to deal with a professional, efficient and a knowledgeable Real Estate Agency.

To whom it may concern, Our first dealings with Baird Real Estate was four years ago when my husband & I purchased a house, myself & my husband have not got a bad word to say about Baird Real Estate. The staff at Baird Real Estate are both frinedly & very helpful, they coudldn''t be of more help when we rented our house - They found the tenants, they done all the paperwork. All my husband & I had to do was sit back & watch the masters at work, what more could you ask for? I recommend Baird Real Estate to anyone that is looking for a house to buy or rent- Baird Real is the place to go!

Thankyou to all the staff at Baird Real Estate, When I arrived at your door last September just before 5pm I was not turned away because it was late in the day, I was not treated with disdain because I did not know what the process was for renting a property, it was explained to me how you could help me find somewhere to rent, and exactly what I needed to do for this to happen. I was able to secure a property to rent in less than 3 days. Earlier that afternoon I had approached another agency, who I had been dealing with on the phone, where I was made to feel inferior because I did not know their rental process. I am very glad that I continued down the street and walked into your agency. In all my dealings with your staff; during inspections, requesting maintenance, lease renewal, and finally handing in my vacating notice, your staff have always been a pleasure to deal with. I have always been made to feel welcome and my enquiries have been responded to promptly. I could not have asked for more. Once again, Thank you all for your friendly service it has been a pleasure renting from you. I will highly recommend your agency to anyone in the future.

Hi Heath, I would like to thank you again for the excellent service you provided us. Selling and purchasing houses can be a very stressful time and in our case we were doing both at the same time. Over the years we have bought and sold several properties and dealt with many different agencies and experience services of differing standards. I must say that our association with you through the sale of our residence in Ann Street and the purchase of our new house was by far the most satisfying. In an industry that can at times be so trying and unsure, you certainly gained our trust completely. I certainly found your approach to the sale of our property productive as your strategies certainly got many potential buyers through the door. I certainly will be dealing with you again in the future and it doesn’t matter which real-estate agency is listing the property, if I am interested I will contact you first. Many Thanks

Thank you so much for your help - I have really appreciated your patience. Being my first home there was a lot to learn so i was really fortunate to find someone as genuine and honest as yourself.

When I decided to sell my house, I immediately thought of Baird Real Estate. Firstly because I knew the family and also I had received good reports about their success in the area. I wasn’t disappointed, as upon contact I was given a presentation which gave me a thorough insight into their selling techniques. I requested that they and they only, handle my sale. My home was an old home with some work that needed updating. A lot of young “marrieds” were looking for something a bit more modern. During the time that my home was on the market, the Baird Real Estate Team was always on the mark contacting me and following up any interested persons and it was not long before another inspection with a purchaser was arranged and things looked very good. The Baird Real Estate team was there the whole way through my sale, advising me and leading the way in action. I could not fault their attention and I am very happy to speak highly of their salesmanship and follow up assistance. Advice on what action to follow was always readily available. I am now settled in a retirement village and will not be selling again. However, my advice is, if you wish to sell your home you will be in good hands if you contact Baird Real Estate.

Obviously I am very impressed with Baird Real Estate. I got the property I wanted. I was kept informed of the progress of the property, which enabled me to finally purchase the property. I love my house. Thankyou Baird''s. I was also impressed with the Property Management department of the agency. I was helped out tremendously on arrival from Tasmania. Overall, a job well done.

Thankyou to the staff of Baird Real Estate. Jason, Ethan & myself could not be more pleased with the recent sale of our home. Your initial assessment of our property and the advice to proceed to auction was spot on. By marketing our house throughout the Cessnock and Central Coast areas you created a huge amount of interest resulting in the number of viewings exceeding our expectations. Throughout the process you kept us fully informed of any developments. It was comforting to know that we could rely on your knowledge of the property market & experience to achieve the best result. Thanks once again & we are now looking forward to building our new home. Tracey Harrington

There are not enough words to describe how thankful we are for the help and dedication that was given to us through the process of purchasing our first home. We had started our search for a suitable property a couple of months before getting in contact with Baird Real Estate, obviously with no success. From our first inspection with Baird it was already a breath of fresh air compared to others we had previously and this was not due to a difference in the quality of houses but the quality of service that was given. From the moment we first arrived at our first inspection, we were treated with respect, politeness and room to view the property at our own pace and with the privacy to talk to each other about likes and dislikes which no other real estate gave the courtesy of doing. Heath then worked day and night to find our dream home which in only a matter of weeks, through his dedication to customer service - he did. The most amazing realisation was that absolutely nothing was a problem for Heath and the other staff. Even in times of the settlement where a real estate agent is not included, Heath was only ever a phone call or even a text message away waiting to give us a hand or even useful and much appreciated advise as being this was our first home, it was all new to us. To anyone out there who is thinking of buying or even selling, I could not recommend more strongly to talk to Baird Real Estate Cessnock. For those who are buying, i can guarantee that no other real estate in town and i highly doubt even out of town could give the level of service that we have received. For those who are selling, remember that your real estate agent is the person that potential buyers will give their trust to. Due to the commitment we received off this real estate we aren''t even interested in looking at houses advertised with other agencies due to our previous bad experiences with them. At such a stressful time, we knew we were only going to buy with someone we trusted considering that your house is the largest purchase you will ever make. We would just like to say thank you for the care and commitment that was given to us through such an important time and just hope that more people realise that buying or selling a house doesn''t have to be stressful if Baird Real Estate is involved. Warmest Regards
