This is what I was hoping for
I just wanted to let you how much I appreciate the work you did to find tenants for my property so quickly and to also get a rent increase. This is what I was hoping for when I changed to Blackshaw. Keep up the good work! – Martin

Kristy, thank you so much for all your help getting our house sorted. Your lovely, calm, & super efficient manner made a stressful time in moving overseas much less so! – Lavinia

I couldn't be more impressed with the leasing & property management team at Blackshaw Gungahlin, in particular Kristy Jones. The team operates to the highest professional standard & really takes the stress out of leasing out properties. – Jordan,
So lovely and gave us some good advice
Nimra was very approachable on the phone, with a lovely happy voice and she was very helpful in organizing an inspection of the house we were interested in. At the inspection, she let us wander but was able to answer our questions. She was so lovely and gave us some good advice. Nimra submitted our application straight away and we were accepted on the same day. She also followed up our questions immediately. We are very happy to have Nimra as our agent.
He and his team are on point all the way
Exceeding expectations from start to finish. My wife and I were cautious, had many questions from the outset and Sean was able to provide us with prompt and clear explanations that we understood from the get go. Sean's honest and no-nonsense approach resonated with us. Sean's advice and direction on the sale of our home hit the mark and reflected an intimate knowledge of the Canberra market and his experience and attention to detail showed in the refined marketing plan that Sean and his team presented, put into action. The result was our home sold at auction following the 4 week marketing campaign. In a challenging market, Sean and his team were stellar in the approach planning and delivery. Highly recommended. Thanks again. - B&M
Positive selling experience
Positive selling experience with Naomi! We found Naomi to be a good communicator and willing to listen to our ideas when selling our unit. She kept us informed regularly and her experience and knowledge made us confident that she would sell our property.
A smooth sale with Sandra!
Sandra was fabulous in helping me purchase my dream beach home! Her professional and friendly manner make her so easy to work with and I greatly appreciated her local knowledge and efficient communication. I highly recommend it.
A five star rating all around
Outstanding market knowledge, communication and professionalism. We were highly impressed by Alex's and James' expertise and professionalism. Their communications were first class, and they were genuine and honest in their engagement. We had great confidence that they had our best interests at heart. This was borne out in the marketing and subsequent rapid completion of the sale at an excellent price. We highly recommend Alex AhKey and James Davis of Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra for property related business dealings.
She has been professional
Rahira has been professional, courteous, and extremely helpful; this transaction would not have been as smooth without her involvement.
Above and beyond
Thank you so very much for taking care of us. It has been above and beyond. I apologize for giving you such a short tenancy with such a heavy workload.
Very helpful
Kristy Jones became our property manager in July 2019 after we had a problem with another agency. Kristy was very helpful, provided useful advice and feedback and kept us informed on maintenance issues and conducted regular comprehensive inspections. We found Kristy to be very professional in her dealings with us and was always courteous and friendly. We recently sold the property after the tenants moved out and Kristy was helpful during the transition process.
Amazing agents
Brianna and Vanessa are amazing agents.
From a tenant’s perspective, I would recommend her
Nimra at Blackshaw is an excellent property manager. As a tenant, I’ve had the pleasure of having her as my contact at Blackshaw. I was relocated for work and was not particularly looking forward to returning to the rental market. Nimra has made the experience much more pleasant than I expected. She is attentive, understanding and helpful, promptly answering emails/returning phone calls and ensuring that maintenance requests at the property were attended to. Nimra was also proactive in letting me know when rent didn’t make it to the trust account so I was able to correct a payment issue. Nimra has always been available to take my calls and, from what I can tell, has good lines of communication with the owner. As a property owner myself, albeit coming from a tenant’s perspective, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a property manager.
An invaluable asset to the Blackshaw
I cannot speak highly enough of the assistance, support and professionalism of Emily Hyslop, my Property Manager, who remained objective and appropriately understanding throughout our interactions. Miss Hyslop is an invaluable asset to the Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra Team.
Sale of house in Weetangera!
Sale of house in Weetangera! We recently engaged Jack to sell a house in Weetangera for an elderly relative. From the initial meeting, through the process, to the sale of the property, Jack showed consideration, care and compassion. He not only did a great marketing campaign but went the extra mile from start to finish for an elderly person at a difficult. Thanks Jack.
The only agent around here to speak with.
I have personally dealt with reps from every office while buying a selling several times in this area. I won't speak to any of them, except Sandra.
She is practical, pragmatic and not at all stereotypical. Confident and competent.
Excellent property manager
I have found Rahira to be an excellent property manager. She has looked after my property from checking applications to find the right tenant to ensuring the property is maintained. l can recommend her to any property owner who is interested in renting their property.
Everything you don't expect in a real estate agent
Sean was fantastic from start to finish. He was open and honest with us and provided ongoing realistic market expectations. He managed the buyer expectations well, which led to a quick auction and positive result. Overall, if I was ever selling another house, I would turn to him as my first point of call. Sean's team was supportive, friendly and always responsive. We highly recommend Sean and the Blackshaw Weston Creek & Molonglo Team.
Expertise and dedication: Why we highly recommend him and his team
It is with great pleasure that I write this review for Sean, who helped us sell our first home in Coombs Act 2611. From the moment we engaged his services, Sean went above and beyond to ensure that our selling experience was nothing short of exceptional. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to his craft were evident from the start, and he consistently exceeded our expectations throughout the entire process. Sean's attention to detail and smooth coordination of the entire campaign resulted in an influx of potential buyers, all of whom were expertly managed to optimize our chances of achieving the expected sale price. His commitment to providing an outstanding service was evident at every stage, and his genuine care for our needs and goals was always at the forefront of his mind. Choosing Sean and his team was the best decision we could have made, and we are incredibly grateful for the hassle-free experience they provided. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone looking to sell their property, and I have no doubt that he will continue to excel in his field, delivering outstanding service to all those he works with. Thank you, Sean, for your exceptional work and for helping us achieve a successful outcome!
Amazing team to deal with
Amazing team to deal with for both property management and sales. Honest, professional, and approachable. Highly recommend them.
Amazing partners
We’ve worked with Vanessa for over a year now. From first contact all the way to now, Vanessa and the team have been amazing partners - looking after our investment. Vanessa’s patience with us while we got the place ready to rent seemed to know no end. Her and the PB team’s communication, prompt action on maintenance and attention to detail are reassuring, leaving us confident our investment is in good hands!
Professional and very helpful
The property manager (Nimra) we dealt with whilst we rented through Blackshaws was excellent. She was professional and very helpful in our transition out of the property. She maintained regular communication with us which was very important over the last few weeks.
Upfront, attentive, and professional
Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra is a high quality real estate agency providing a professional and friendly team approach with a genuine commitment to service and outcomes. Their property management side is second to none in terms of being upfront, attentive and professional.
Very pleased
Thank you for your email. Jeff and I were very pleased with our auction result and our interaction with the Blackshaw team. Jack worked very hard for us and achieved a great result.
An absolutely fantastic professional caring agent, highly recommended.
From the first time we met Sandra we felt so confident and at ease with her. Her enthusiasm and positivity towards the sale of our beloved home as well as her professional advice certainly contributed to a successful outcome at auction.

Sandra presented our home beautifully through her video presentation and excellent precis which we are sure brought many buyers to the property.

Sandra always informed us of prospective buyers through a detailed report following an open house.

Sandra is such a positive, hardworking and cheerful person and we strongly endorse her as your choice of agent if you are considering selling your home.
We had a fantastic experience
We had a fantastic experience renting through Rahira. She quickly offered us a great house that perfectly fit our needs. Her responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Highly recommend her services!
Thoroughly recommend Blackshaw Gungahlin
Thoroughly recommend Blackshaw Gungahlin. Kristy and Craig in particular have been professional, very easy to deal with, and have gone above and beyond in assisting us.
Outstanding
Many thanks Kylie. Thank you for everything to date, your professionalism and guidance has been outstanding.
Quick and efficient
Nimra and her team at Blackshaw were very pro-active in finding and selecting a tenant for our new apartment. We were kept well informed on the process. The whole process was quick and efficient. Excellent service.
Professional, courteous, and very organised
Great Property Management Team! I was recommended by my friend to use Blackshaw Queanbeyan to manage my investment property. They are professional and easily approachable. No client is a small client and no question is a small question for them. They respond to your smallest questions promptly and I am always welcomed. Highly recommended! Thank you Alex and Kersten!
Extremely glad
I took a gamble engaging Jack Doyle from Blackshaw, but I'm extremely glad I did. At first, I was concerned his rugged good looks would distract buyers from the beauty of my property and that they'd get lost in his deep blue eyes. Instead, Jack exhibited exemplar levels of professionalism and went above and beyond my expectations. He provided pre-sales advice based on research and evidence, and was more than happy to accommodate my needs and wants as a seller, as well as those of potential buyer.
Professional, Competent, Considerate
Sandra was careful to select a range of properties that might suit us.
She was flexible in meeting our need to travel to inspect, and highly knowledgeable about each property, responding to impromptu queries.
Sandra followed through promptly with conditions that required negotiation with the vendors. She has also committed to post-exchange assistance with follow-up matters. Highly recommended.
Very easy to communicate with
She is very easy to communicate with. Thankyou Blackshaw team!
Very proactive approach
Very proactive approach and very responsive to any enquires I had. The team made the process of leasing my home out simple and easy.
Prompt and attentive
It has been a very happy year living in this property, especially with the bonus of having your prompt and attentive hospitality and work ethic looking after us.
Highly impressed with her service
I want to extend my gratitude to Nimra for her outstanding service in arranging the repair of my rental property. Nimra's professionalism and dedication have made the process seamless and efficient. She promptly coordinated the necessary repairs, ensuring my property was in good condition for the tenants. I'm highly impressed with her service and look forward to continued collaboration.
I recommend the team highly
I purchased a property through Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra and promptly accepted their offer to manage my investment. Stephanie Trpeska is a fantastic Property Manager. Her attention to detail is excellent, communications are not only clear and concise but always timely. She's quick to respond (within reason - she doesn't work 24/7 right?), patient with me and never presents a problem without multiple options to resolve and a recommendation. I recommend Stephanie and the team highly to anyone considering selling, leasing, or renting.
Excellent service!
Excellent service! Jack is genuinely a good guy, friendly and trustworthy. His best quality is that he listens and communicates sensitively to get the deal done. Jack has sold two homes for me in Canberra and both processes have been very positive. I highly recommend him.
Perfect agent for our home!
Sandra was amazing and did our home justice! She sold it with the perfect amount of professionalism, authenticity and respect. We could not have asked for a better fit for this sale!
Fantastic to deal with
Rahira has been absolutely fantastic to deal with over the past few years. She is very responsive and professional in all interactions. Overall, Blackshaw has been a wonderful real estate to deal with. Thank you.
The team at Blackshaw Gungahlin continue to impress us
The team at Blackshaw Gungahlin continue to impress us with their ongoing professionalism and efficient support with our investment property. They continue to put our mind at ease with their management of our property.
Committed to community
You have been the best property manager ever. Thank you so much for changing our lives.
A breath of fresh air
Nimra is a breath of fresh air at Blackshaw. She represented us very well, advised us well in dealing with a silent tenant and was able to use her connections to source new tenants. We have now secured within 3 days a new tenant, a two year lease and at the price reflective of true prices in the area. Here’s hoping, like all all other great rental managers, she doesn’t go over to the sales side too soon.
Professional
Sandra is a well-known auctioneer with extensive knowledge and skills in the real estate industry. Highly recommended.
My tenure with them has been amazing
I was with Blackshaw since 2017 and my tenure with them has been amazing. I have had different property managers from Kylie, Sophie, and the last one Rahira. They all have been professional, approachable, and very reliable property managers. Rahira has been an amazing property manager and made my stay and exit so smooth that I can't say thank you enough to her. She supported me when finding a new property till I have secured one. She made my vacating property so easy. She is the best in the business. I wish her very best of luck. Thank you Rahira!
Best real estate team that we've been through so far
Blackshaw Gungahlin has been the best real estate team that we've been through so far for rentals since we moved to Canberra. They have always jumped on any issues we report regarding the property, sorted it out for us promptly and have been helpful everytime we've been in contact.
Masterful work
I got a house from Blackshaw Real Estate Weston Creek. Kylie is my agent and she is very polite, nice and she helps everyone. Thankyou so much for your help.
Highly professional and easy to talk to
I have found Blackshaw Real Estate Manuka to be professional and thorough in its property management. Nimra Naz was my property manager during the time I was vacating a residential rental property after 5 years of tenancy and I found her to be flexible and responsive to my requests, adapting quickly to changes in circumstances. Nimra was highly professional and easy to talk to. Her swift response to my report of a burst pipe in the bathroom minimised any inconvenience and prevented water damage to the property. I would recommend Nimra to anyone looking for a property manager in the inner south of Canberra.
I hope we will be in touch again in the future
Thanks so much for your flexibility, Alex! That means it's all sorted now - which is wonderful. It has always been the greatest pleasure working with you and your team members. I was so pleased to see you won an award recently - any recognition you receive is so well-deserved because you bring a unique 'value-add' to the professional services you and your team offer. There is a genuine care factor in your dealings with all your clients: tenants and property owners. It must be hard getting the balance right but you always seem to hit the mark quite effortlessly! And to do so with utter professionalism. So although I no longer need your help for now, I may again in future and will always sing your praises to other people needing an outstanding property manager - as Cory did to me (thank you Cory!) when he recommended you and your company to me, quite a few years ago now! I hope we will be in touch again in the future. In the meantime, please enjoy your holiday and have some well-deserved rest and fun!
Experienced high quality real estate agent!
Experienced high quality real estate agent! Chris provided us a professional no BS experience selling our property. Market knowledge, communication and negotiation skills we're excellent.
Professional and accommodating!
Both Jenna and I were very happy with Sandra and how she handled our purchase. The professionalism and willingness to go out of her way to so we could have multiple looks over the property before purchase. Sandra has a very relaxed and friendly personality and we wouldn't hesitate to use her to buy or sell again.
We are truly fortunate
Thank you Rahira for always being approachable, responsive, and friendly. Your positive attitude and willingness to help have made a significant difference in our lives as tenants. We are truly fortunate to have you as our property manager, Rahira. Your commitment to excellence is truly appreciated. Thank you for making our living experience a pleasant one.
Blackshaw did a good job
Having experienced a good and a mediocre rental agency, Blackshaw did a very good job while I was renting one of their properties as the tenant. They were responsive, communicated in a timely fashion, acknowledged issues, and worked quickly to resolve them. If you’re looking at a property for lease through them, I think it’ll be a low-stress and pleasant experience. (The current agency I’m renting through now makes me sad I had to move away. Current agency (not Blackshaw, rhymes with …bright pino…is truly incompetent).
5 stars
The team at Blackshaw Real Estate Weston Creek & Molonglo was super efficient during the entire process of leasing a property to me, with special mention to Senior Property Manager, Kylie Bickerton, who was very friendly, helpful and responsive to all my queries. The property I have leased is 5 stars.
Very helpful
Tammy was prompt and very helpful! I would work with her again in the future.
Professional and driven
Excellent market knowledge and very professional. Excellent service from Lou Baldan. He was fantastic during the whole process, explained to us each step of the way, and kept us informed the entire time. Lou offers so much more with a personal touch when it comes to understanding your emotions with your home. On our first meeting, he came with a comprehensive and personalised marketing strategy that gave us the confidence to appoint him to sell our home. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome, he delivered what he promised and also broke the suburb record. If you are looking for an agent who is professional and driven, then look no further, we would highly recommend him. – Anil & Rekha
Professional and helpful service
We received professional and helpful service from Molly. Would highly recommend her services.
Excellent service and communication
We recently had the pleasure of working with Sandra for the sale of our home, and we couldn't be more impressed. From the outset, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge, and strategic marketing skills. Her communication was exemplary, keeping us informed and addressing our questions promptly, making us feel valued and reassured throughout the process.

Sandra handled all negotiations with skill and professionalism. She genuinely cared about our needs and concerns, providing support and guidance that made the entire experience stress­free and enjoyable. We highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Batemans Bay area. Thank you for making this journey a memorable and positive one!
It's a pleasure working with her
It's a pleasure working with Rahira and other property managers at Blackshaw Tuggeranong for almost 15 years. Their commitment, diligence and professionalism in meeting competing requirements is both commendable and reassuring.
There has never been a better agency than Blackshaw's Gungahlin
I have been renting here in Canberra for the past 20 years! Over that time I've had a few owners and more than a few agents! But, in all that time there has never been a better agency than Blackshaw's Gungahlin! The staff are friendly, helpful, caring, and just plain efficient! In other words, just the best!
The level of communication has been excellent
Having moved to Canberra with work and having never lived in Canberra before, it has been rather stressful in securing a rental property. The entire process has been seamless working with the agent. The level of communication has been excellent. I was made aware of all the owners' needs and Kylie was very supportive with my needs. Thanks all round.
Flexibility and friendliness
Tammy is a great agent. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness. - R.K.
Would recommend to anyone
Fantastic real estate agents. Thank you so much Lou for the sale of my unit. Lovely guy & very patient, it was a hard sale but you did it. Would recommend this guy to everyone. – Maria
Amazing and easy experience
It was an amazing and easy experience with Molly and the staff. I appreciated the effort and care they put forward for us.
Super Agent
During my time of selling my home and looking for another, I came across many agents. My purchase was through Sandra and she was superior to most. So willing to help, organise second and third inspections to allow us to measure areas up to suit furniture. She even let me put the sold sign on the house I purchased as I missed this event on the place I sold. Always followed up on questions and emails always had a smile and let us alone to inspect the property just there in the background for questions. Lovely lady and a great agent.
Things were managed properly
I rented a property for almost seven years, and it was only when Blackshaw Real Estate Tuggeranong started managing that property that things were actually managed properly. Rahira Hunia was the manager for my rental until the point where I vacated the premises. Rahira promptly responded to all my queries and do everything possible to speed up maintenance requests etc. She was also helpful with other general queries and it was easy to go through periodic property inspections with her. Would recommend Rahira and her team at Blackshaw RE, Tuggeranong.
Best property managers
Blackshaw Gungahlin have been the best Property Managers that I have encountered and I have rented in 3 states.
Great professionalism
Thanks for everything you have done. It has been great having you as our agent, and I really appreciate your professionalism and how easy it is to work with you.
A delight to deal with!
First class service from Property Manager Tammy Smith - always responsive and helpful. An absolute professional and a delight to deal with!
Happy to recommend
We have rented a property for 7+ years under Blackshaw Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra and we had a very pleasant stay throughout the years! We were offered a very professional and friendly service and they always served our requests very promptly, without any hesitation. Especially, we would like to thank Emily Hyslop and her team for their wonderful assistance during our rental period and we are happy to recommend their professional service to renters.
She was amazing
Molly at Blackshaw Belconnen was amazing! With a new bub, I thought finding a new home for my family was going to be a challenging one. Molly, with great advice, was able to assist and soon we will move to our new home! Thank you for helping us write this new chapter in our life! Appreciate you and the work you do in our community!
Friendly and helpful Real Estate Agent
Sandra was friendly and helpful and always worked in to ensure information that was needed was passed on in a timely manner. She helped me through the entire process and I would recommend her to any prospective buyer or seller.
One of the best agents
Rahira is one of the best agents we have communicated with. She handles all our queries in a very effective way. She is very responsive and professional.
It has been a great experience
Blackshaw Gungahlin has managed our investments for over 8 years and it has been a great experience. They have extremely professional, capable, and personable Property Managers.
Amazing service
We appreciate all that you do. Thank you for being as amazing as you are.
Amazing can do attitude
I cannot thank or recommend Tammy and the Blackshaw team enough for their super high level of service, and amazing can do attitude. Thank you!
We were over the moon
Alex was absolutely amazing to work with and assist with the sale of our home. I highly recommend Alex and her team for selling a property or renting a property out. Alex went above and beyond for the sale of our home and was exceptional. The outcome for our sale was amazing and we were over the moon with our sale price. For anyone seeking to sell their property or rent, I would with no doubt recommend Alex. – Natalie & Shaun
Many thanks
Again, many thanks to Matt, Naomi and all of your team for getting the house sold, particularly with the added degree of difficulty of us not being in the country.
Highly recommended Sandra to sell your house
Sandra was nothing but professional from the first time we meet. Sandra explained the process of selling my dad's house she guided us through every step.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sandra.
Super fortunate
We have been super fortunate to have Rahira as our phenomenal property manager, she is always kind and quick to action any maintenance request as well as being super easy to talk to about any queries or concerns. So thankful for her and all her efforts!
Highly recommend
I would highly recommend Kristy Jones from Blackshaw Gungahlin, who has been our rental agent since the beginning of 2017. She is so nice, approachable, knowledgeable, and very proactive – all the top qualities you would expect from someone who manages your tenancy. Most important of all, she actions all issues and maintenance requests straight away. I would definitely choose her as a real estate agent with my eyes closed! Thank you Kristy being awesome, friendly, and professional at the same time.
Perfect
You're a perfect property manager Kylie! Thank you!
Excellent and efficient service
I would like to comment on the excellent and efficient service given to me by Tammy Smith, Property Management/Team Leader. Blackshaw Real Estate Manuka has been managing my properties in Yarralumla and Belconnen in Canberra many years. I am satisfied with their professionalism and helpfulness. When the relatively aged town house has become vacant, The Blackshaw Real Estate Team has constantly kept in touch with me, giving me update and advice to achieve in letting. Tammy Smith, with her sound knowledge and experience has given me much guidance and support. I can highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look for a good real estate manager.
Our time with them has been great
Been using Blackshaw for over 5 years and our time with them has been great. Brianna has been our amazing property manager. She is professional, reliable and I couldn't ask for a better property manager. Thank you.
Made the process very easy
Alex and her team provided great service managing my property. They made the process very easy, found a great tenant who were a pleasure to work with. When I decided to sell, I was very happy to leave it in their capable hands and even in the middle of Covid lockdown, got me a great deal.
Such a treasure!
Naomi is a genuine treasure. She knows her stuff and follows the market closely. She's an amazing communicator to the seller but also very active with buyers. She makes a point of learning all about the house so she can answer any question that comes up. She made the process as seamless as possible for me.
Review -Jess
It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Jess in purchasing our new home and trusting her to sell our existing home.

Jess has invaluable knowledge of our local area and was outstanding in keeping us updated on not only the market but on the progress of our property.
Would highly recommend Jess.
We are already 100% happier
We are already 100% happier. After switching to Blackshaw Gungahlin for our property management needs, we are already 100% happier with their service and processes.
Excellent service
Have had Blackshaw manage my property for the last 10 years. Excellent service from Heidi, Courtney, and now Brianna. Easy to contact and attentive to details.
Very helpful
Gillian was very helpful and professional with the purchase of the property.
The best agent we've used!
We found Jack Doyle from Blackshaw Belconnen to be the best real estate agent we have ever met. Jack was always very polite, sincere, approachable, punctual and helpful. Jack answered his phone either straight away or very promptly to all of our various queries. Jack and his colleague, Joel, gave us over 90 minutes of open houses each week prior to our auction. Jack made the process of selling our home less stressful and we were very pleased with the auction result. Thank you Jack and Joel!
Simply the best!
Word of mouth told me Sean was great but I did not expect him to be absolutely amazing! Sean explained the entire sales process to me right from the start and helped guide me in every step of the way. There were changes I had to make to the agreed sales timeline because of tradesperson availability, resulting in delays and none of this was a hassle for Sean. He held countless open homes, often at very short notice at the request of potential buyers. I will most definitely use Sean for any real estate dealings I have in the future. Thank you Sean, you truly are the best!
Best we've ever dealt with
Jessica worked tirelessly with us on our most recent purchase where we had to juggle several balls at once to make it all happen. She kept us updated all the way through the process and went way beyond expectations. Cannot rate highly enough!
We both are very grateful
Just want to take my time to write you a quick thank you message. I just moved from Sydney yesterday to here. And after 4 months of being apart from Nelson, it feels like home here. Both of us stayed here for first time last night, and we just want to let you and the owner know how much we love this place. How nice is it to wake up next to the beautiful golf course view! And how spacious and homey this place feels! Also really appreciate you and your team for being so efficient at processing our application and choosing us to stay in this place, and for all the help you provided in getting the paperwork sorted so that I can get the approval from the government. Just want to let you know that all of those means so much to us. We both are very grateful, happy, and excited to start our lives in this beautiful home! Sending you lots of love, looking forward to meeting you all soon when the lockdown is over.
Outstanding in managing my property
Blackshaw Gungahlin were outstanding in managing my property. From finding a suitable tenant to managing a few complicated maintenance issues, Kristy and the team took care of everything with minimal delays or issues. I was particularly impressed with how the property was advertised, with high quality images from an actual photographer and as such a tenant was secured within 6 days. I had done my research for other property agents around Canberra and Blackshaw Gunghlin was the most competitive. Overall, I will definitely be using Blackshaw Gungahlin for any future needs around my property.
Highly recommend
I highly recommend the team at Blackshaw Real Estate Tuggeranong.
Outstanding service and result
From the moment we asked Sean if he could sell our apartment, he was on to it straight away! By the time we got home from speaking to him, there were already emails from him discussing the suburb, surrounding properties, and estimated value of the apartment, he had also contacted our property manager, giving notice of intention to sell! Sean is super organised and efficient. If we called him and he couldn’t answer, he would text saying when he would be in touch, and he was always true to his word. He is a straight shooter, what you see is what you get. We found him to be very transparent and honest. The whole process of selling our apartment from beginning to end was seamless. Sean discussed everything that would happen, potential outcomes, and fees, so we had no surprises. He would always call after every open home, and anytime there was something to report, so we always felt we were kept in the loop. Another thing we really liked was that he always wanted to be fair to all others involved in the process of selling the apartment, including the tenants and prospective buyers, which showed me what a high level of integrity he has. The most wonderful and incredible outcome was that he was able to secure an offer on the apartment that was significantly more than what we thought we would get! Any future properties that we sell will be sold by Sean, we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. If you want an agent that is committed, honest, hardworking, supportive, and one who will do his utmost to give you the very best service (and an amazing outcome!), and make you feel that you are his number one client, then Sean Rogers is your man!
Selling my unit
Gillian has made the selling of my unit process very easy. She was always responsive, professional, knowledgeable, informative, and very easy to work with. Very nice person.
Jess is professional in her approach and with negotiations, with timely, clear communication.
We chose Jess to be our agent with her longstanding sales knowledge and experience in our area and because of her friendly demeanour with people and her communication skills. Jess proved herself to be a skillful negotiator getting us the best result and within a short period of time. Jess worked tirelessly to achieve a sale for us at the top end.
An exceptional team to rent through!
We rented a property in Karabar, NSW through Blackshaw for over 4 years and during that time, were incredibly impressed with the professionalism and high level of customer service shown by all the property agents that helped us over the years (Verity, Maddi, and Kersten). They were always very helpful and flexible, particularly when it came to rearranging inspection times to suit our schedule. We also found that any repairs or maintenance issues were resolved promptly and smoothly. Overall, an exceptional team to rent through!
Provides exceptional customer service
Brianna has just taken over as our property manager, and she too provides exceptional customer service. Brianna is an excellent communicator and is extremely responsive to both landlord and tenant enquiries and concerns. She is an excellent listener and problem solver.
Great service and communication
After a shocking experience with an agent group from Dickson, we changed to Blackshaw and wow, what a service and great communication by Master Ryley McGuire. We are so happy and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Master McGuire.
Amazing and easy experience
It was an amazing and easy experience with Molly and the staff. I appreciated the effort and care they put forward for us.
The best
Both as an agent an as a person, you won’t find anyone better than Michael Braddon – genuine, real, and always aiming for the best result for you. I would never go anywhere else. This is the 6th home that Michael has sold for my family and friends and every result is what he originally promised or more. He is honest, leaves no stone unturned, and works very hard. His marketing team are truly amazing, so spot on with what they achieve. I can’t say thank you enough for what you and your team have done for myself and my sister.
Fantastic agent who helped us buy our first home.
Working with Jess was a great experience as a first-time homebuyer. From the start, she was patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. Jess guided us through each step of the process, answering all our questions and alleviating our concerns. Her professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction. Thanks to Jess, we found the perfect home and felt confident in our purchase. We highly recommend Jess to anyone looking to buy their first home!
We recommend their professional service to renters
We have rented a property for 7+ years under Blackshaw, Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra Real Estate and we had a very pleasant stay throughout the years! We were offered a very professional and friendly service all throughout the years and always served our requests very promptly, without any hesitant. Especially, we would like to thank Emily Hyslop and her team for their wonderful assistance during our rental period and we are happy to recommend their professional service to renters.
The agent you want
Could not be happier with Sean. We are selling and buying at the same time so we have come across a lot of real estate agents, Sean absolutely stands out as approachable, knowledgable, and professional. That right mix of knowing his craft, working to achieve a great result, but also being welcoming and friendly to potential buyers. Sean arranged high quality photos, wrote a perfect AllHomes listing, and worked hard to bring many potential buyers through our doors. His communication was excellent, always available, and honest. We highly recommend Sean, it is clear he is a master of his profession and a great bloke.
The service has been exceptional
I have rented my property through Blackshaw for the past two years. In that time, the service has been exceptional! Courtney, Vanessa, Karen and Rick have been incredibly professional and supportive.
One open home and it sold
Campbell was a real pleasure to deal with regarding the sale of my property. He took control and provided me with regular updates. On his first open home, he managed to bring 31 potential buyers. Out of this open home, we were juggling two offers and I'm pleased to say that we settled on above asking price. I couldn't be more happy with this result and how hard Campbell worked for me to achieve such a great outcome.
We were really happy with the communication
Sean was fantastic throughout the selling process and made it feel easy. He provided us with both sales and rental appraisals of our property, and this gave us options on how we wanted to proceed. His knowledge of the property value in the market helped us in selling our property on the higher end of the market range. We were really happy with communication on the progress of the sale, queries from potential buyers, offers and he was happy to conduct multiple inspection times on our property.
Excellent!
Matt was very knowledgeable about the sales in our area and how best to market the property. Great local knowledge and kept us very well informed in every step of the process. He achieved a very good result for us, and we are very grateful for his professional and friendly manner. Very happy!
Top tier agent and excellent communicator
Michael Braddon helped us sell our residential property very recently and it's been a great experience working with him and the rest of the team. It's our first selling and the outcome exceeded our expectation with the effort and commitment that Michael and his team put in. We are so happy that we found him as our agent and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking at selling. Michael is so reliable that you can literally leave everything with him and the team and they will take care of it. He always kept us updated with the campaign and the progress. He is also always available, trustworthy, and his knowledge around the market is exceptional. You can feel the confidence from the moment that he talks to you. Most importantly, he goes above and beyond to achieve the best outcome for both the seller and the buyer.
Extremely Professional
We have just finalised the process of buying our new home and selling our existing home. The entire process was handled by Jess in the most professional manner. We were constantly kept up to date with all matters pertaining to both properties.
We would highly recommend Jess as a professional listing agent and a highly skilled selling agent.
I am so grateful for all their help
I needed to find a new home in the Canberra/Queanbeyan area in about 2 weeks, and the Blackshaw team was invaluable in helping me achieve this feat in half the time. I am so grateful for all their help. They took the stress out of me finding a suitable place with all the COVID restrictions making things so much harder than normal for a long distance move. They were responsive, professional, communicative and very understanding. I feel so lucky to have found them and would highly recommend their services. Thank you HEAPS!!
Out of the ordinary in real estate agents, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful.
Always helpful, most real estate agents, in my experience (I'm 74), don't care about you after they have sold your house or bought one. Campbell keeps in touch and offers to help with anything you require. Also a very personable and friendly fellow.
5 Star
5 Star - Blackshaw Belconnen has been a pleasure to work with. Tanja and Molly showed their deep experience and knowledge of the rental market right from the first property appraisal visit. Molly, our assistant property manager, kept us updated on inspections and applications. She is responsive, helpful and authentic in her advice. We couldn’t be happier with Molly, Tanja, and Blackshaw.
Exceptionally helpful
Brianna has been exceptionally helpful and provided us great advice when seeking to rent out our property. The property is now occupied.
Genuine and reliable!
Thom is an authentic and kind person. He was always extremely responsive to our many questions, and took time to explain the processes to us. Thom cares about the people he works with and getting good results for his clients. We would recommend Thom, he is a legend. Thanks Thom!
The right amount of professionalism and authenticity
Jessica was very professional with communication and knowledge of the current market. We were confident she knew how to market our property to its full potential. Jessica understood and showed care for our situation and took the time to consistently answer all our questions.
Great, honest customer service
Fantastic customer service. Alex was incredibly helpful through the process of purchasing my first home, great, honest customer service, fantastic communication and turnaround times. Alex’s advice and friendly assistance helped make this purchase stress-free.
Wonderful!
Campbell is a good man, so helpful whether it was Sunday or rainy and done a great job. I strongly suggest those who are thinking about selling to give Campbell a courtesy call and go from there.
Thank you so much for your help
Thank you so much Jack for your help with selling our house. You made the process simple and easy to understand for us, and we appreciated your patience and expertise, especially in a difficult market. Your insight was extremely valuable to us and I don't think we could have achieved such amazing results without you.
Genuine and very good at what he does
Tom Wait was very good in what we perceive to be an increasingly challenging market.
Always helpful and pleasant to talk to
Working for a Civil Engineering company with several rental properties, Blackshaw property manager Brianna Colledge-Vollbrecht would be by far the best property manager I have dealt with. She has always gone above and beyond from the beginning of the lease to the day we moved out. Always helpful and pleasant to talk to. I wish all the property mangers I deal with were like Brianna!!
Professional and Attentive
Jess was extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in the local area. She also knew all about the property that we purchased. She was always available when we needed to talk to her and always got back to us as promised. A rare quality in today's environment. Jess had great negotiation skills and was pivotal in the purchase of the property. At no stage was enquiry too hard to handle.

Thank you so much Jess for all your time.
Wish we met her earlier
Most genuine agent to work with! Alex’s open line of communication made for an incredible buying experience. We fell in love with our new home not just because of the beautiful property but because for once, we dealt with an agent without their own agenda. Alex genuinely cares about the seller and new buyer of the property and made sure everyone involved has a happy experience. She's always available to answer any questions or concerns and with an upbeat attitude. Wish we met Alex earlier to sell our own home! Highly recommend. Thanks Alex!
Awesome world-class agent
Campbell is smart, industry-knowledgeable, well-organized, socially skillful, an excellent communicator with both good listening and speaking skills, patient, affable, punctual, very well presented, enthusiastic, and most of all with these above qualities, and most likely many more not listed. Campbell is able to synchronise this world-class standard real estate sales tool kit of his to produce excellent sales results.
Thanks for your assistance and support
Many thanks for your assistance and support for all these years to the entire Blackshaw Belconnen team again. It was a fantastic experience. Note: Both Vendor and Landlord.
Friendly,͏ professional, and great communicator
Tom Wait recently sold our first property and made the experience easy and stress-free for us. His honest, friendly, and enthusiastic approach was greatly appreciated and he kept us well informed throughout the entire experience. His communication was exceptional and he went above and beyond to help us achieve a result that aligned with the current market.
Professional, courteous, and helpful
Blackshaw Tuggeranong, and more specifically, property manager, Brianna Colledge, have been nothing but professional, courteous, and helpful. From the very beginning, it has been a pleasure to work with them, from application, to signing the lease, and everything in between. I could not fault the level of service I received. Thank you Brianna and team.
Absolute Pleasure so Knowlegeble and Professional
From when we first met Jess she made selling our property so easy for us.
Very Professional in her knowledge of Real Estate.
Always happy, helpful and listened to what we had to say. nothing was a bother to her.
Kept us updated at all times about how our property was going on the market. Thank you, Jess, Blackshaws have a wonderful Sales lady on their team.
She displayed the highest standard of morals and ethics
Fantastic, very transparent, & a record breaking Googong residential sale! I want to give a massive shout out to Alex. She displayed the highest standard of morals and ethics I have ever seen. She was transparent with our sale the entire time and her honesty and work ethics are second to none! Thank you again Alex for your great work with all the potential buyers and us as vendors!
Highly recommend working with him!
We have bought and worked with a few different agents over the last few years and Zac was by far the easiest, most presentable agent we've ever worked with. The entire process from offer through to weeks after settlement, Zac was always reachable, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure both us (buyer) and the seller were happy. If you're considering selling or buying, we'd highly recommend working with Zac. If we ever sell or buy again, we will be calling Zac.
A great experience
We would like to take the time to thank you for these past 16 months, it has been great getting to know you. Everything you have done for us is very much appreciated, we would also like to extend this thank you to all your team and colleagues. We have had a great experience with Blackshaw Tuggeranong.
Cannot recommend enough!
Cannot recommend enough! Emily Hyslop has been amazing during my tenancy over the last 12 months and definitely would not want to rent through anyone else! Emily is genuine, very responsive, and a great Property Manager. Thanks again Emily! – Emma
We totally trust Blackshaw
The staff are fantastic from the very first phone call right up to hand over with the keys. With Tanja, Molly and Darryl all working on our property going above and beyond on call whenever we had questions and explained everything, working overtime just so the tenant can move in earlier. We totally trust Blackshaw and their lovely staff with our investment property aka our baby and with any other investment property we will have in the future. We highly recommend Blackshaw Real Estate Belconnen to anyone who wants to buy, sell or entrust with your investment. – David & Meghan
Stress free
Offer above our reserve in this tough market, Stacy Otero made this stress-free. Didn't have to worry about anything really. She had everything booked in and organised without any necessary input from us. With back to back large interest rate rises, the market had cooled, but Stacey managed a settlement pre auction that exceeded our planned reserve. We couldn't be more happier.
Great Communication
Jess made our home buying journey easy! People say it can be stressful but Jess took that feeling away! She was easy to communicate with,and communicated with other parties to make that experience extra easy!

Thank you for all your help Jess!
Excellent support in a tough selling market
Zac and Christine were very supportive from the start of the process - getting the house ready to go market, during the selling process, and after the sale. They were always available, communicated well. and gave good advice. It was a difficult time to sell with so many interest rate rises. I have bought and sold many processes over the years, but I have never had better real estate agents.
I would 100% recommend
I would like to mention the amazing efforts of my property manager Brianna Colledge-Vollbrecht, she has been incredibly prompt with any concerns that I have expressed and consistently made herself available when I needed assistance. As a young adult moving out for the first time to a different state, her kind words and offers of support have been incredibly heartwarming. I would 100% recommend this real estate and Brianna as a property manager if you want that personal touch and wonderful professionalism.
Such professional, helpful, and responsive service
I have just found a great unit to rent through Blackshaw. Such professional, helpful and responsive service from Stephanie. She went out of her way to get information I needed to connect my utilities and was quick to respond to various emails and calls in the lead up to signing the lease agreement. A pleasure to deal with! – Warwick
Cannot recommend enough
Extremely happy with my experience with Blackshaw Belconnen. They are friendly, supportive with very strong communication. Cannot recommend enough Molly, Tanja, and Darryl. – Laura
Always happy to answer
Excellent service. We purchased an existing house through Stacey and Michael at Blackshaw Gungahlin. They worked extremely well as a team, Stacey was always happy to answer the questions we had and kept us in the loop coming up to the auction day.
Very Caring and Helpful
We are grateful to Pat for the professionalism and care we received in selling our home, particularly given we were absent for much of the process due to medical reasons. We would recommend Pat to anyone who is looking for an honest and reliable agent to sell their home.
Awesome world-class real estate agent
Zac is smart, industry-knowledgeable, well-organized, socially skillful, an excellent communicator with both good listening and speaking skills, patient, affable, punctual, very well presented, enthusiastic, great team player, and most of all with these above qualities, and most likely many more not listed, Zac is able to synchronise this world class standard real estate sales tool kit of his to produce excellent sales results.
Professionalism, quality, responsiveness
Another amazing individual at Blackshaw Real Estate Tuggeranong is Bek Morton. When applying for real estate in the Canberra area whilst living in Queensland, Bek went above and beyond to help me aquire a rental. She offered to take a video tour of my rental to ensure the property was the right fit for me and guided me through the whole application process. She was also readily available to answer all my questions, with a professional and kind approach that made the process much easier.
Communication has always been excellent
Maddi and Kersten have been absolutely wonderful to deal with throughout my tenancy. Any problems or concerns have always been addressed very quickly, and communication has always been excellent. I really appreciate all their hard work and couldn’t recommend them enough. – Hannah
Professional approach
Thank you very much for the professional approach and the promptness Blackshaw RE showed during the application process. Specially the services of Darryl Taylor are very much appreciated. – Rochana
Very supportive during the process
Fantastic͏ and very considerate agent! We just bought our first home through Thom Eriksson-Lake and couldn't be happier with the experience. Thom was always approachable, responded to our questions swiftly, and was very supportive during the process. He was very considerate and polite, both towards us and the vendor, and eased the stress at auction day by making a joke or two at his own cost. Very much recommend Thom as your agent!
Perfect Pat
When we were looking for an agent to sell our house for us, I had intended, in line with general advice, to talk to two or three real estate agents. However, when we met and talked to Pat Jameson, we immediately decided that she was the agent for us.

And we were right. She knows the area thoroughly and has all the right connections to help you find whatever you need. She is so knowledgeable and well connected that she sold our house without us having to advertise.
We recommend her without hesitation.
Above and beyond
Zach went above and beyond to sell our property. He is young, ambitious and enthusiastic but with a maturity beyond his years. When he said he would work “day and night” to sell our property we didn’t take him literally - but he responded to our texts and emails immediately, regardless of the hour of the day. He showed people through our property first thing in the morning and last thing at night, sometimes for the same party. We observed him to be particularly skilled at managing the various stakeholders involved in a sale - always polite and professional regardless of the pressures of the situation. Zach also helped us to buy our “forever” home - so although we hope not to need a real-estate again anytime soon - we’d recommend Zach and the team at Blackshaw Manuka!
I appreciate this
Thank you Bek for your reply and support throughout the whole process. No agent supports like this the way you did in the whole Canberra from my experience. Thank you once again!
Simply outstanding
Simply outstanding! Having been a client of Alex AhKey and the Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra team for many years, I could see where the amazing service, professionalism, honesty and warmth originates from. Alex has been utterly fantastic in supporting me with my sale, despite being interstate. From the start, she had it all covered and I barely had to do or worry about a single thing! Alex knows her trade, her local areas and the market like the back of her hand and has been an absolute pleasure. I would more than highly recommend Alex and her team, both as sales consultants and as property managers. – Angela
Very trustworthy
I have met a lot of agents in my time and most will tell you anything to get a sale. Thomas was very honest about the state of the market when we questioned him about several properties we initially were looking at. This is a team that can be trusted. - Kali
I would happily recommend
Wonderful͏ and attentive customer service. Michael Braddon and his Blackshaw Gungahlin team have been great to work with on the sale of my apartment. From the start, when I just had questions about the process, all the way through to contract exchange, the communication has been open and straightforward. I am still in shock about how smoothly and quickly the process all went - as a first time seller, I had lots of questions and Michael and the Blackshaw Gungahlin team have been happy to answer every last one. I engaged Michael after a recommendation from family and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area - you’ll be well taken care of.
Pat is the best agent!
Pat is a personable agent and generally cares for the sellers and buyers best interest. I appreciate her support and caring attitude throughout our house purchase and I would definitely recommend her services again. Thank you Pat!
Always a pleasure to work with
A big thank you to you for managing the property so professionally. You made my life as an investor very easy :). You were always a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking a property manager! Thanks again for everything.
Thank you for removing the stresses
Thank you to the Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra team. During the most uncertain year, you have managed my property with such professionalism and have been a reassuring presence. Thank you for removing the stresses that owning an investment property this year has brought. You are fantastic! – Leonie
Can 100% recommend
When Matt had to take some time off unexpectedly, Thomas stepped in to ensure the purchase of my property went smoothly. He was always flexible in meeting me at the property if I had additional inspection needs and worked around me when needed (ie dropping the keys to me personally upon settlement). Can recommend working with Thomas. – Katharine
Thank you so much
Craig Sleeman is just wonderful. Super responsive and communicative, very friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to help his clients. Thank you so much Craig for being a great Property Manager.
Can't recommend Pat enough!
It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Pat in the purchase of my new home. Always professional, nothing was ever too much trouble. Her market and local knowledge are second to none, and she is never anything other than completely open and honest. I can't recommend Pat enough!
Amazing service
Fantastic service by Team Revet, fantastic communication throughout the whole process and achieved a result that we could not have possibly imagined. 10/10 service, highly recommended.
Set them far above their competitors
Working with this agency has been the most positive experience I have ever had with any agent, anywhere. Their professionalism, responsiveness, honesty and integrity set them far above their peers. The team are friendly, well trained and know how to take care of the tenants and the clients and all for excellent rates. I highly recommend Alex and her team, after 6 years I wouldn't go anywhere else. – Stephen
Very engaged and communicative
Win-win situation. Thomas was very engaged and communicative through the process. He really helped us understand what the seller's needs were and helped us reach a mutual agreement quickly. Thanks for helping us purchase our first house! - Megan & Jayden
I will most definitely return
I cannot tell you how nice it has been to have a professional property manager such as yourself, Alica, manage our investment. I have had friends that have gone through nearly a dozen property managers in the same time we have had you! I've had nothing but great dealings with Blackshaw Gungahlin over the years and I definitely notice the lack of staff turnover which tells me that the work environment is good there :) You are proactive, organised, and professional. I'm sad for the moment that we have no investments left for you guys to manage but once we get new ones down the track, I will most definitely return to Blackshaw Gungahlin for property management.
An Excellent Agent
Pat has been our agent on a number of occasions and she is consistently terrific. She is friendly, thoughtful and efficient and always the consumate professional - a pleasure to deal with always. And she is successful!
Invaluable support
In addition to the invaluable support that Kalen and Keshena provided, the team provided good access to other trades and services.
Always professional
Tahlia is a great Property Manager who is always professional, responsive, and willing to help. Whilst she was my property manager, I never had any issues with resolution of things that popped up and she was always able to be clear and concise when assisting me with things such as end of lease termination and bond return. – Alex
Exceptional service
Maddison has been great as our property manager for almost 3 years. In that time, Maddison and her team have provided exceptional service, always very responsive and gets things done quickly with no hassle. Very happy. – Nick
Helped us tremendously
Naomi has been the agent selling the house we are buying. She has been a font of knowledge and has helped us tremendously. We've greatly appreciated everything she has done. – Tasneem & Jason
Extremely High Standards
Pat was professional throughout the whole sale process. She knew the market exceptionally well, kept us well informed and operated with our best interests at heart, achieving a great result. We highly recommend Pat and her team to any perspective vendor.
Calm, collected, and professional
We͏ recently sold our apartment through Gillian at Blackshaw Manuka. Despite it not being a high-value property, Gillian treated the transaction with the utmost professionalism. Gillian went above and beyond, organising access and visits around the tenants and always kept us updated on inspections and progress.
What a legend!
We started renting with Blackshaw Gungahlin shortly after arrival from South Africa. From the get-go, they all made us feel welcome and are always keen to help with any request. A great group of people who are very good at what they do. Special mention to Craig Sleeman. What a legend! – Albert
Would not want to rent through anyone else!
Cannot recommend enough! Emily Hyslop has been amazing during my tenancy over the last 12 months and definitely would not want to rent through anyone else! Emily is genuine, very responsive and a great Property Manager. Thanks again Emily! – Emma
Forever grateful
Naomi gave expert advice that was spot on. She thoroughly understood the market and how our day would run to even the price we should achieve. Out of the 7 homes I’ve bought and sold, this was by far the easiest purely thanks to Naomi. Forever grateful for your help in ending a long drawn-out battle. – Louise
We found their marketing knowledge, contact and professionalism excellent
We were impressed by their sales record and community presence e.g. open house signs out early and all day. Immediate action on signing sales documents. Professionalism and efficiency providing updates and advice after each open house or new development, also guiding us through the selling procedure with advice in plain English. Pat showed compassion at all times and her staff were always available to help. Thanks, team Blackshaw
Outstanding agent
Gillian͏ helped me sell my townhouse in southern Canberra. I found her to be highly professional and experienced, pleasant to deal with, and full of good lateral suggestions: not only for the marketing campaign but during the renovations that preceded it. She is an excellent communicator and highly reliable. Gillian knows the industry well and has a good eye for detail. She was most reassuring when I ran into some hiccups with my renovation. Her commission fee was also very reasonable. I would not hesitate to hire her services again and I only wish all professional people were as competent as Gillian!
Friendly, responsive, and helpful
I highly recommend Craig Sleeman and the Blackshaw Gungahlin team! It was so pleasant having a friendly, responsive, and helpful agency to talk to. It was always very easy to pick up the phone or send an email if we ever had any questions or issues. – Charlotte
Highly recommend
Naomi was terrific from day one, always keeping in touch and updating me every step of the way. Her dedication was wonderful, and I always felt very supported. Naomi's a lovely personality and I highly recommend her! - Bronwyn
Communication was second to none.
We contacted Pat to view the property. From the get go her communication was highly professional and timely.

There was no pressure for us to buy the property only gentle conversation and an encouragement that only we would know if the property was right for us. This turned out to be the one and Pat facilitated a second inspection, negotiation of offers and kept us informed on what turned out to be a slightly complicated road to exchange. Due to Pat's exemplary approach to our purchase, we subsequently chose her as the agent to sell our own property. Ultimately Pat's integrity, diligence and calm approach made us feel so at ease to put our trust in her and her team.
Excellent customer service
I can reflect on my experience with Gillian both as a buyer and a seller. I bought this property few years ago and Gillian was the seller's agent at that time. She was very professional and honest. She listened to my questions and inquiries and acted promptly. I ended up buying the property. After a few years of owning the property, I decided to sell it. I couldn't think of any one better than Gillian to help me with this. I live interstate and Gillian communicates with me regularly making sure I am up to date will all the activities during the selling process. I feel very comfortable knowing that I can trust her. She has in depth knowledge of the market and provided me with all the options. She is both professional and ethical in dealing with the current tenants in my property. I highly recommend Gillian to anyone who is looking for a reliable, trustworthy and professional real estate agent.
She acted professionally at all stages of the buying process.
Bronte always acted professionally, from the inspection process to the negotiation of the sale price. She kept me informed at all times during the negotiation of the sale price and was always transparent during the the offer process, not hesitating to inform me of any offers given on the property. Bronte always showed interest in helping an out of towner like me, by introducing me to a local conveyancer and building inspector, helping the process of buying run smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend Bronte with her personable approach to selling property, to any prospective buyer of property in the Batemans Bay area.
Professional, extremely helpful, & prompt
I have always found Emily to be professional, extremely helpful & prompt in responding to any issues or enquiries in relation to my property. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily as a very good property manager in relation to any type of property management within the real estate field. – Scott

Highly recommend
We can highly recommend Tom and the team from Blackshaw Gungahlin. They are genuine people which was so refreshing through our house hunting experience, and this gave us confidence in their ability and extensive experience. Also, the team weren't just interested in the sale and have been really easy to communicate with everything that goes on afterwards. We'll be looking them up when it comes time to sell. Highly recommend. – Ajaxa
Very positive
Campbell was friendly, informative, and supportive. He made it as easy as possible and got a good outcome.

Committed to community
Thank you so much for taking care of my mother's property. I recall our first meeting Tanja, and we had absolutely no doubts about entrusting you with the management of the house.
Amazing agent, helpful, and responsive
Bronte was a pleasure to deal with, going above and beyond with her help, she returns calls promptly and kept me informed the whole way through the process. I would highly recommend Bronte to both buyers and sellers!
The benchmark for Property Managers to aspire to
Emily has been the most professional & courteous Property Manager I have had. She always follows through & keeps me in the loop about. As a landlord, I've found her advice to be invaluable. Emily sets a very high standard, which I personally think is the benchmark for all other Property Managers to aspire to. I have no hesitation in recommending Emily. – Annie

Enthralling experience
I was able to get through details and any queries past Stacy super quickly. As this was a stressful journey, she was able to maneuver as smoothly as possible. – David
I would wholeheartedly recommend
Molly's infectious personality brightens your day when she enters a room. She is friendly, helpful and extremely supportive. Her professionalism is second to none and she always goes above and beyond to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. Her passion for helping others is what stands out the most and we are so grateful for her knowledge and understanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend Molly in a heartbeat. Thank you Molly!
Provided an excellent service
Andriana provided an excellent service. She is fantastic. Blackshaw have done an excellent job of maintaining our property. Highly recommend.
She was instrumental in the purchase of our property
Bronte explained and brought to our attention the many features of the property. She liaised with the builder where more detail was required and passed on any queries and concerns. We were very pleased with her professionalism and easy communication.
Highly recommended
Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra have been managing my investment properties since 2013. I highly recommend them to property owners. Not once since they started managing the properties has any tenant been of concern to me. I also recommend them to future tenants because they are so prompt in notifying me about maintenance requests & organising tradespeople. – Diana

Outstanding salesperson
Definitely recommended whether you are buying or selling. Our recent sale is the 4th time we had Thom help us when we have purchased and sold. He goes out of his way to provide correct and best information for both buyer and seller. He has a lovely personality and keeps us informed of what is happening throughout the whole process from beginning to end. He is highly recommended. – Jana
Not as good as Blackshaw Belconnen
My experience with looking for a property with Blackshaw Real Estate Agent Molly was actioned so smoothly. She & company was so helpful in many ways. Starting from registering for an inspection and they understood my needs. Up until I became a successful tenant, the Real Estate Agent was with me every step of the way with all the many questions I had to ask. The service was like no other. I had been applying for properties for the past 4 months with other real estates and their service was not as good as Blackshaw Real Estate Belconnen.
Absolutely outstanding
Gillian is a highly skilled and professional real estate agent with many years of experience. Her in depth knowledge of the ACT market and how best to promote a property for sale is second to none. Gillian offered excellent advise on how the property should be presented, where best to advertise, at what price point we would be able to achieve, and personally arranged and controlled 'open for inspection' days with enormous enthusiasm. All potential purchasers were accounted and reported to ourselves as owners and at NO point were we ever left in the dark, wondering what is happening. Gillian's price negotiating skills were very professional and handled very skillfully. Throughout the whole sale process, we always felt that Gillian was acting in our best interest, for which we say Thank You.
Professional, friendly, and local market knowledge
Jess has been a pleasure to deal with throughout our buying and selling experience. She has always been happy to work around our needs to achieve our goals. She is a great communicator and her knowledge of the local market is a valuable asset. From our first contact, we decided to select Blackshaw as our agent for selling our property as we were confident we were dealing with a professional team that would work for us. We happily recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy agent on the South Coast.
Highly recommended

Buying & selling
We have bought and sold with mario and his team. Their presentation to us was really good and the team are delightful and work well together. They are all very efficient. Mario is outstanding as an agent /auctioneer.
Professional and helpful
On behalf of my husband and myself, I would like to thank Thom for the super professional, empathetic, and sincere role he took during the sale process of our house. Thom understood our level of stress and actively ensured that the stress was removed from our shoulders. Thom was always available to answer any questions we had and ensured he communicated the results of open houses to us in a very timely manner. We would have no hesitation in giving Thom the highest recommendation to anyone who is looking to sell their house. We believe Thom gave it his all and we are very happy with the result achieved. Thank you Thom for all you have done. – Steve & Debbie Usher
A bright light to everyone she meets
Molly is a delight to deal with. Her reliability and passion to be her best version makes it a pleasure to always recommend her services. Molly is a bright light to everyone she meets. Thank you Molly and I'll continue recommending your services.
Very professional in all matters relating to the sale
Jess is very professional in all matters relating to the sale. We were constantly updated and given feedback of all areas of the open houses and following up of prospective buyers. Very impressed with her work ethic and help with sorting out a couple of issues to seal the sale. Also sold at a good price that we both agreed on at the start.
Highly recommended
Blackshaw Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra have been managing my investment properties since 2013. I highly recommend them to property owners. Not once since they started managing the properties has any tenant been of concern to me. I also recommend them to future tenants because they are so prompt in notifying me about maintenance requests & organising tradespeople. – Diana

Top agent in Canberra
Mario and his team were nothing but professional with the sale of our beloved home. His excellent knowledge and ability to keep us up to date at all times made the sale of our home feel seamless. We thank Mario and his team for their considerate nature and appreciation of our home and are more than grateful for all their efforts and hard work. We highly recommend Mario and his team if you are thinking of selling your home!
We highly recommend
Impeccable marketing from a true professional. From the moment we met with Michael to discussing selling our family home, we knew we were in safe hands. Michael and the entire team at Blackshaw Gungahlin left no stone unturned during our marketing campaign, and we truly believe they are the reason we achieved such a fantastic result! Michael is passionate about providing professional advice and went above and beyond to ensure we understood and felt supported through the entire process. We highly recommend Michael and his team for anyone looking to sell their home! – Nick & Sara
Can do attitude and professionalism
We dealt with Molly in the search for a new family property to rent, and I cannot speak more highly of the service and professionalism that was displayed by Molly. She went above and beyond in our dealings and was a pure delight. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond in the management of your property or if you yourself are a tenant, then look no further than Blackshaw Real Estate Belconnen and Molly. Thank you so much again for all of your help, can do attitude, and professionalism.
Easy experience
Working with Jess to buy our home was an excellent experience. Jess was approachable and friendly and made the process very easy. Would highly recommend!

A master at work
Working with Mario and Kalen was a pleasure and I had all confidence that through their processes and commitment, they were working to get get the best results possible. Mario's high standard of customer service, long term industry experience and personal investment was exemplary. Communication was consistent and I was prepared for auction day. Trust is something all professionals wish they had and building it takes time and effort. Through my experience, I can safely say that if you put your trust in Mario and Kalen, they will give their best. Very happy.
Simply the best
I was blown away by the professionalism, knowledge, and honesty of Michael with the sale of my apartment. He kept me totally informed at every stage and had a buyer after the first open house. I have bought and sold many homes over the past 40 years but without a doubt, my experience with Blackshaw Gungahlin was fantastic. Good luck and best wishes to Michael and your team, you are all SIMPLY THE BEST. – Glenn
Above and beyond
Naomi has such a pleasant personality and takes genuine interest in the client's situation. She went above and beyond in my case and dealt with some very difficult situations very patiently and professionally.
Fantastic experience
Jess made our first time selling a house an easy process. She gave us valuable information about the current market and kept us informed of changes that could affect our listing. She was professional, caring, flexible to our needs, and responsive. We highly recommend Jess as an agent for selling or buying your next home.
She is exceptional
She is very professional & prompt with our requests & leaves nothing unanswered. We’ve always had a positive experience with Maddi. – Connie

Easy and realistic!
Would 10/10 highly recommend Mario and the team to sell your property. Their knowledge and professionalism is like no other and one you can always rely on. They made the experience of selling our first home easy and realistic. Cannot thank them enough!
Completely hassle-free
Naomi is without a doubt, the most honest and kindest agent we have come across in the search for our first home. She has gone above and beyond to make the process completely hassle-free.
I would definitely rent again through them
I rented an apartment in Crace through Blackshaw Gungahlin from Jan 2019 till early Oct 2021. I had a great experience with the property manager Craig and Blackshaw. Things were dealt with easily and quicker, for example, the small maintenance issues I had. Communication was good. Using PropertyMe worked well and made it easy for me to see things. Basically from the application to the final inspection, it was a great rental experience and I only left because I brought a house but I would definitely rent again through them.
Brilliant agent - highly recommended
Pat is an exceptional real estate agent - extremely hardworking and professional. She is an excellent communicator and a highly skilled negotiator, who went the extra mile to sell our property. We would never unreservedly recommend Pat to anyone thinking of selling in the Eurobodalla region as her local knowledge is highly regarded and well deserved!
A fantastic face for the company
Maddison has been nothing but delightful to deal with. Her professional & candid approach to managing my current rental is refreshing & wonderful. Thanks team Blackshaw :) – Ashley

Thank you for a wonderful result
I would like to thank you and your crew for providing a very professional service for the sale of 45 Warramoo Crescent Narrabundah. The weekly updates on numbers and possible buyers was encouraging, giving us hope of a sale in difficult times with the monthly rate rises. I would like to congratulate you personally for your effort on a very tough auction day in achieving the sale. We all appreciate your work during the campaign and on auction day and thank you for a wonderful result.
Professionalism is outstanding
Naomi's market knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. Her communication and efficiency was amazing, keeping us updated at every moment there was progress throughout the transaction.
He is a pleasure to deal with
Craig Sleeman was our property manager during the 12 months we rented. He has great communication, is quick to resolve issues, and is a pleasure to deal with. I would be happy to rent again through Blackshaw Gungahlin.
Professional, dedicated, hard working, positive, and friendly
Pat is always punctual and nothing is ever too much trouble. Always cheerful and encouraging, Pat has a naturally positive and helpful nature and will do her utmost to sell at the best possible price for you.
I recommend her to my family & friends
Maddison is a personable, professional & process-driven Property Manager. As my property manager, I know I am in good hands. She answers any questions I may have & is always helpful. – Ky

True dedication and professionalism
A big Thank You to Mario and Team Sanfrancesco for all your commitment and dedication in the process of promoting and selling our home, and also ensuring that it was beautifully presented. Your reassurance and kindness throughout made it such a more pleasurable and less stressful experience. Well done and heartfelt thanks for such an impressive result.
Thank you so much!
It has been our pleasure. Chris and Esther made this so smooth and effortless for us, it was almost too easy. Thank you again and have a great new year.
We’ve received impeccable service
My husband and I have been tenants renting a property through Blackshaw for over 5 years. We’ve received impeccable service from our current agent Craig Sleeman, and the agency, over this entire period. In particular, we have really appreciated Craig’s responsiveness, professionalism, and timeliness when dealing with issues relating the property.
The most pleasant agent I dealt with in the area and during my search for a house
I found Pat to be very professional indeed. In total, I saw three homes with Pat and eventually buying the last of the three inspected. Information on the house was provided in an efficient and timely manner and in that regard, she represented her vendors as an agent should. Also, never during the period of negotiations did she pressure me to act before I was ready and I was treated at all times with courtesy and respect. Purchasing the home at an onsite auction can be stressful at the best of times and my experience was no different. At a time when it's easy to pressure buyers during tense negotiations, Pat did not take that path and she helped me remain calm and measured at all times which resulted in a purchase price that I was happy with. It was a pleasure to deal with Pat and I'm sure her vendors would agree with me that a good result was the outcome for all concerned in the transaction.
We look forward to a long working relationship with you
Thank you for the outstanding professional service you & your team have provided to us in managing our properties. We have recommended you to many of our friends and will continue to do so. Your ability to respond so quickly, thoroughly & ensuring that you are taking detailed attention and care is amazing. Many thanks – Louise & Bruce

Professional, knowledgeable and confident
Mario and his team was able to provide an accurate market appraisal, notwithstanding the market volatility, that allowed us to make the decision to sell. They provided expert advice in relation to how best to present the home ready for sale and provided regular updates during the marketing period. All legal matters were handled professionally and without fuss. At auction, Mario was able to realise the best possible price which we were extremely happy with. We would have no difficulty in recommending Mario and his team to anybody looking for a seamless selling experience and obtaining the best possible price for their residence.
Professional and good communication
I went with Chris as he had recently sold an apartment in the same building. Chris proved to be professional and kept me informed of progress. I would use Chris' services again.
He has always been professional
Craig and the team helped me out of a tricky situation and found the best people to rent my place. Craig has always been professional and keeps me updated every step of the way. Highly recommended.
Wonderful service!
As soon as I walked into the property, I knew I wanted to buy it. Pat's calm & professional attitude steered me through the whole process without any dramas. I particularly appreciated her timely & detailed responses to my frequent questions & requests.
You were like a god sent angel
The purpose of this email is to thank you for looking after our property. This email is long overdue and apologies for the delay in sending this to you.

Tanja, we are extremely pleased with your service in looking after our rental property for over a year now. I still remember the crazy times when I was let down by the previous real estate agent not managing the tenants properly. Having spoken to you just once during the time of distress, you were extremely responsive and came over to my property within 20 minutes to discuss. To us, you were like a god sent angel and sorted things right for us providing us the right advice and way ahead on fixing the damages done to the property. Since then, you have looked after the maintenance, lease extensions, tenant checks, health/condition of the property and many more albeit all COVID pandemic challenges.

I acknowledge your diligence and care factor that you have shared for our property. Anu and I are looking forward to continuing this relationship along with suggesting yourself (and the firm) to my friends going forward. Thank you again for everything.
Thank you
I want to acknowledge the great work Maddison has been doing to assist me with all the works that are required to bring the property up to scratch. – Sonia
Great agent, great support team, excellent result!
Mario is an energetic, well-connected and highly ethical property sales professional who helped us sell our beloved family home. Mario provided us with an honest and frank appraisal of our property supported by his outstanding knowledge of the Canberra market which allowed us to make informed decisions and achieve an outcome that we were very happy with. Throughout, we felt confident that he had a strong commitment to finding the best match between our goals and the needs of prospective buyers. We were expecting a more stressful experience when selling our long-term home, but Mario and his very professional support team calmly and efficiently guided us through clear and thorough processes to prepare and present the house in the best way possible and to meet all our legal and administrative obligations. We would certainly use Mario again and recommend him highly.
His communication was second to none
Exceptional experience from a true gentleman. Thom epitomises all of the values we appreciate professionally and personally in our life, trust, integrity, and honesty. Thom worked hard to manage expectations and his open, consistent, and clear communication was second to none. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Thom, both as a highly professional real estate agent and a true gentleman. Thank you for all of your hard work and effort, you really did provide an exceptional experience.
Professional steady guidance
Pat's team at Blackshaw Coastal provided us with professional steady guidance throughout our selling experience. They knew the market and were spot on with the type of buyer our house would attract. In fact, Pat managed to obtain a higher price outcome than we were expecting! We highly recommend Pat and Blackshaw Coastal.
The best communication I have ever received
You are absolutely outstanding, providing honest, up-to-date information in a period plagued with uncertainty. I'm so impressed and I feel so supported. You and your team are doing an amazing job. My parents are in real estate & I've forwarded your email to them because I am so impressed. Best business decision I ever made was engaging your team to manage my investment. – Clair

We couldn’t recommend him more!
Couldn’t fault him! Michael made a stressful time very enjoyable. He constantly kept us informed, was always honest, and professional. He is extremely knowledgeable and we didn’t hesitate to give him all our trust. He went above and beyond and achieved us an unbelievable result. We couldn’t recommend him more!
We'll definitely recommend
Thanks for all your work as our property manager and making everything so easy for us. We'll definitely recommend you to anyone we know looking for rental assistance.

Professional, trustworthy, conscientious and efficient
Gillian has navigated us through the process of selling our home and securing for us a good outcome. Professionally, Gillian is experienced, reliable, conscientious, discreet and efficient. Personally, she stays the course, keeps in touch, follows up, communicates clearly and concisely, and she is reassuring. Thank you, Gillian for your time and effort. Very much appreciated.
Professional, positive, and just a great agent
Pat assisted us to sell the family vacation house on the south coast. She had a great knowledge of the market and articulated a great process which eventuated in a great outcome. Throughout the sale process, she was very professional and always available, nothing was a problem, which was just a pleasure to deal with. We are very thankful that we selected Pat as our Agent and would recommend her to anyone in the Batemans Bay area.
Communicative, articulate, and to the point
Smart, no-frills, astute, highly recommended. Stacy has an excellent knowledge of the market and the real estate tradecraft. She is communicative, articulate and to the point. Stacy kept us abreast of buyer’s feedback throughout the campaign. Stacy marketed the house as if its her own. She treated potential buyers with honesty and respect, something we appreciated being recent buyers ourselves. This translated into sustained strong interest throughout the campaign and a sale that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Stacy, Tom and the team.
He was professional and courteous
Patience pays rewards. We first met Matt Sebbens 12 months before we went to market with our home of 30+ years. Matt gave us an honest appraisal at that time and provided some valuable feedback on possible renovations. 12 months on with renovations completed, we were delighted to have Matt market our property. Matt was professional, courteous and provided us with up to date information during the sales process. Due to COVID 19 restrictions, our auction was online, but again Matt kept us informed at every stage. We were pleased with the auction outcome and would have no hesitation in recommending Matt Sebbens and the team at Blackshaw Belconnen.
Professional
I can highly recommend Pat and the team at Blackshaw Coastal. Pat's knowledge, expertise, honesty, and diligence in the selling of my property were very much appreciated. Her constant communication made the decision-making process a lot easier. Thanks again, Pat.
First-class communication skills
Investment buying in the time of Covid. My experience of purchasing my first investment property with Tom Wait of Blackshaw Gungahlin was a seamless one. From our very first phone conversation, I felt valued as a client and confident in his ability to see me safely through the whole process. Tom has first-class communication skills and was very knowledgeable about the property market in his area. His professionalism was evident as he worked through and explained the process all the way to the happy conclusion.
He went above and beyond
A pleasure. Matt was responsive at all times and helped me through the sales process. He went above and beyond by organising a few special conditions for me which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Matt!
Working with Gillian
Dealing with a number of different realestate agents when buying and selling recently, it was refreshing to do business with Gillian. I found her to be intelligent, diligent, helpful and real estate savvy. I would say she conducts herself with integrity and she is the perfect go between with vendor and buyer.
Top notch!
We would highly recommend Pat for her exceptional real estate service. From start to finish, Pat demonstrated unmatched professionalism, market expertise, and effective communication. Pat went above and beyond in our opinion in opening our house each weekend and adding some furnishing touches whilst we were overseas on holiday during the whole marketing period. We were able to achieve a successful outcome with a completely stress-free process. Thanks for everything Pat.
He definitely made us feel like we were a team
Outstanding. Michael went above and beyond with working to sell our house. Michael constantly kept in contact with us to ensure we had full understanding of the process of selling and that we were kept up to date with what he was doing to ensure we had the best experience in selling our house. Michael definitely made us feel like we were a team and we could not recommend him and the team enough.
The campaign was extraordinary
Chris sold our house during COVID lockdown. We were a bit worried to start with about selling in this period. However, Chris put together and executed a campaign that was much more successful than we dreamed. The additional effort that Chris had to put into the campaign was extraordinary and very much appreciated.
I can not recommend highly enough
I have had the privilege of dealing with Gillian as both a buyer and seller. Both experiences have been seamless and stress-free due to Gillian's professionalism, experience and commitment. She took the time to talk us through the processes and was available day and night to answer queries. No task is to big or to small for Gillian, she absolutely goes above and beyond and puts in 110%. You will not find a more committed professional who managed the ever changing COVID situation with grace. I can not recommend Gillian highly enough.
Warm & professional
I purchased a property that Pat was marketing for her clients. I found Pat to be well warm & professional throughout the marketing, auction, & settlement period. Pat listened and understood what I was looking for, making it a rewarding experience. Thank you to Pat for your honesty, punctual response, and genuine interest in not only your client, but the buyer.
Best agent!
Best agent! I had the best home buying experience with Tom Wait and Michael Braddon. Right from the beginning, they were transparent and very accommodating. Kept me in loop and provided constant updates on how it was progressing. Well done guys! You guys are doing an amazing job. I would recommend them to anyone who’s looking to buy or sell their property.
He goes the extra mile
Outstanding agent who goes the extra mile. Matt and the team at Blackshaw expertly managed the sale of our property with professionalism and care. We were overseas at the time and Matt managed everything with ease (and without hesitation, even took on extra jobs to help us out). He listened and responded to our needs, kept us informed and provided clear and honest advice. I have no doubt he was just as thoughtful and professional with prospective buyers. He easily adapted the strategy to the long lockdown and we were extremely happy with the result. I have no hesitation is recommending Matt to prospective buyers and sellers.
Professional and provides great communications for us
Prior to exhibition, Michael generated interest in our property, enough to warrant a VIP opening before it hit the market. Two days later, we went live and Michael dealt with 58 groups and by the evening of the exhibition presented multiple offers. The whole experience was professional. Michael's sales associate Emily brought a sense of ease getting ready for sale, organising cleaners, stylists and setting up the marketing campaign. I would thoroughly recommend Michael and the Blackshaw team!
We have full confidence in her
We have dealt with Pat for over 10 years. She is patient, listens, and instils a sense of quiet confidence. Pat is an excellent communicator. She kept us abreast of all developments (good and bad), while maintaining a calm manner. Pat understands the Batemans Bay and environs market better than anyone else we have dealt with. Her deep understanding of the Bay and its people makes her an excellent choice to market your property. Having confidence in your chosen real estate agent is key to a good outcome. We achieved a great outcome with Pat.
We already felt welcomed
We had a very good experience buying a house with Michael’s support. We already felt welcomed and got value information as well as good chat about the challenge of house hunting with Michael on the inspection day. During preparation of the auction, we had a smooth and great support from him and his team. More amazingly, after being successful with the auction, Michael and his team provided quick and trustful procedure to sign the contract online as well as his enthusiasm to deliver our message to the seller and visit us for face to face congratulations. Made us have a very pleasant and good memory of buying our first house. We recommend working with Michael and his team.
The best realtor in town!
The best realtor in town! We had the pleasure of working with Matt on the sale of our family home! From our initial contact through to sticking up the ‘sold’ sticker, he was responsive, helpful, patient, knowledgeable and supportive! With Matt and the Blackshaw team, we were thrilled to reach a suburb record!
Thank you for you support in finding our new home
Michael is a great communicator, always coming back to us quickly and is also very professional. Michael is very friendly and provides good support and information. Thank you Michael for helping us find our new beautiful home. - Joanna, Kane, & Sienna.
Excellent experience
Pat was professional, calm, easy to communicate with, and extremely accommodating in assisting us to buy this property in a short time frame. She has also kindly opened the property for us twice outside of inspection times. I would highly recommend working with Pat.
Every step and option were tremendous
I thought selling our home of 22 years would be challenging and stressful, but from the initial introduction through to the sale, Michael made the process very easy. His knowledge is extensive and his willingness to spend time to make sure we understood every step and option was tremendous. His advice was backed up with facts and we were kept informed of developments as they occurred. Michael was highly recommended to us by family members he worked with in the past and we now pass on those high recommendations to anyone selling their home.
We couldn't be happier
Fabulous result and great communication. Matt helped us sell our 3 bed house and we had a great experience with him. In particular, he was a fabulous communicator, gave us all the information we wanted and we never chased him for updates. He was also very relaxed and accommodating for our circumstances. The result we got far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier.
Excellent process
Michael provided excellent counsel and support when we purchased our property, being fair to all involved. He is a also a lovely person to deal with.
Deep knowledge of the local market and patient
I am very grateful for the patience and kindness Pat showed throughout the sales process of a much loved family holiday house. She had deep knowledge of the drivers in the local market and demonstrated that experience really counts. She was kind and consistent throughout and was very respectful of both buyers and sellers.
A sincere thank you to a successful team
We wholeheartedly recommend Matt and Esther. Their assistance in the sale of my mother’s home was always professional, responding to our needs at a very stressful time. I believe the transaction was a success for both parties concerned. A sincere thank you to a successful team. – Faye
Completely hassle-free 3+ years
I have nothing but great things to say about my experience renting with Blackshaw Gungahlin. Tahlia in particular has been an outstanding property manager – super helpful, professional, and responsive throughout my tenancy! It’s been a completely hassle-free 3+ years, and I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend her and the Blackshaw team. – Lara
Excellent job once again
Our second time with Mario & his team and we weren’t disappointed. What is a stressful period in most people's lives is managed so well with Mario, Fiona, Kalen, & Lily. We actually had fun selling our beautiful home. Every person we worked with was considerate, on time, professional and understood our home and it’s value. What really stands out for us is Mario’s relationships with all prospective buyers. They obviously like & trust him so the process is a win/win experience for all involved. Please consider Mario & his team when selling your home - trust us you won’t be disappointed.
Simply the best
There are RE agents and RE agents. Selling a property is much more than finding a buyer. Pat is the best. She went out of her way to help us with our purchase. We attended the property a couple of times before settlement to take some measurements etc. Pat always made herself and the property available for inspection. We looked at several properties before finding one to suit our needs. Pat was extremely patient in dealing with two difficult buyers. She worked hard for the seller. The property was not well presented making her job somewhat difficult. It was possibly a hard sale for Pat. I feel that she earned every bit of her commission. I would strongly recommend her to any seller and/or buyer. She will put in the "hard yards" for you.
Her services were exceptional
I highly recommend the property management services of Tanja. Her services were exceptional. This came down to a very effective communication and going above and beyond what we have for too long had to accept from other property managers. To the whole team at Blackshaw Belconnen, thank you very much for all that you have done for us. – Scott
We are already 100% happier
After switching to Blackshaw Gungahlin for our property management needs, we are already 100% happier with their service and processes. Thank you Craig for all your assistance so far! We are confident our properties will be well managed and can highly recommend Craig and the team. – Jessica
Five͏ star property experience
Mario͏ and Kalen were professional, patient and excellent in the whole process of selling our property. From our first meeting, they came prepared, spent time looking through the house and outlined a strategy for sale. The team behind the scenes were extremely helpful, especially Fiona and Lily. Meetings with the agents between and after open houses kept us updated along the way and on auction day, they were able to execute a sale price that was fair and where both parties were happy. They came highly recommended from a lot of people we talked to in Canberra in the weeks leading up to putting our place on the market and I now know why they are the number one agents in Canberra.
Great outcome
Pat was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She was diligent in her effort to sell our property and achieved a great outcome for us.
He always had time for us
Knowledgeable and genuine, Jack was great to work with. He is genuine, knowledgeable and had great advice but more importantly he always had time for us and thoroughly explained our options (and recommendations) at every step. Made what could have been a very stressful process much easier for us. And we got a great result. – Alison
Highly recommend for his extensive knowledge
Down to earth, honest and trustworthy, Michael Braddon was an absolute pleasure to work with through the entire sale process. He kept me well informed at all times and gave me great advice to assist me in getting the very best result. He was honest and realistic in his approach to addressing my expectations and made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I highly recommend Michael for his extensive knowledge of the market and his highly professional, honest and trustworthy approach towards his clients. – Te Hana
Polite, hard-working, and driven
As tenants looking to rent, our experience with Zoe, the leasing consultant, was nothing short of outstanding. With how hot the Canberra market has been, we had genuine fears we would end up homeless for a time, especially with our application having previously been glanced over many times before. Despite the state of the market meaning a property could be rented with relative ease (and so tenants lack really any sort of power), Zoe heard our concerns and went out of her way to find us a rental. Not only did she find us a place to live, but she found us somewhere that we are very happy to call home. Over the past few months I have interacted with many leasing agents and can say with utmost confidence that no other comes even close to Zoe when it comes to her kindness, professionalism, and conscientiousness. She had no obligation to help us yet did so without hesitation, reviewing our application and providing guidance on improving it, sending us properties, and ultimately helping us find our new home. As a professional working in the HR field, it is clear to me that Zoe shows a lot of promise in her career. It is not often you find someone as polite, hard-working, and driven as Zoe is. She is clearly an incredible asset to the Blackshaw Manuka team and they would be wise to fast-track her professional development. In a nightmare property market, we could not be any happier with the outcome Zoe achieved for us. Given this outstanding experience, we will absolutely be choosing Blackshaw Manuka for all future property related dealings.
Prompt, helpful, and understanding
We found Pat to be prompt, helpful, and understanding throughout the process of purchasing our lovely home. Pat was able to organise impromptu inspections and liaise with the vendor to provide quick answers to most questions. Readily available and quick to return calls. We would happily recommend Pat to future clients.
5+ stars!
Excellent service, 5+ stars! Matt Sebbens is great to deal with. Very professional and his communication alleviated our anxiousness during the whole selling process. Matt is an agent that is willing to go the extra mile to ensure we got the best price for our property. I really can't ask for more with the seamless process and experience he and his team provided. I definitely recommend Matt and will be happy to avail of his and Blackshaw Belconnen’s services again in the future. – Edmundo
Helpful and hardworking
Tom was helpful and hardworking throughout the process of inspecting and purchasing my property. He was friendly, communicated well, was easy to get in touch with and was flexible in assisting us with the final inspection and receiving the keys. – Alastair
Fantastic and deserves recognition
Zoe is a fantastic leasing agent. I had been looking for somewhere to rent in Canberra for over a month. The experience was beyond discouraging, with many leasing agents proving unhelpful in what is one of the toughest rental markets in Australia. I found many leasing agents only serviced the owner, and not both sides of the market. Radio silence on applications for well past a week, and failure to relay the outcome was common. Zoe, however, was fantastic and deserves recognition. I put in an application Sunday afternoon and promptly received the successful outcome by Monday morning. She was so helpful at the viewing to everyone who attended and her colleague, Hannah, was genuine and sincere over the phone. Highly recommend Blackshaw Manuka.
Couldn't fault
Great experience, I couldn’t fault Chris. This purchase was my first experience buying property through an online auction. I was therefore even more nervous than I would normally have been. Chris answered all my questions fully & to my complete satisfaction, therefore, putting me at ease with the process. His knowledge of the property he was selling couldn’t be faulted. – Rosemary
Extremely friendly and authentic guy
My online auction experience during COVID lockdown with Michael and Stacy was fantastic. They gave us all the necessary information required for us to make a decision to bid at the online auction. I’m sure their workload tripled in this time, however, they always got back to us in a timely fashion. Meeting Michael, (through Facetime) he is an extremely friendly and authentic guy, he shared in our excitement of purchasing a property. – Julie
A great experience
Maddy was extremely professional and yet very friendly. From the day we first met Maddy on the open day to final inspection, everything was handled very well and made the experience a lot less stressful.
Great agent
Pat is an extremely dedicated professional who "went the extra mile" to answer our queries and support our decision making for this purchase. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, considerate, diplomatic, and communicative. If you are looking for an agent, we highly recommend her services to you.
Made the whole process seamless
This is the first property I have sold and Thom made the whole process seamless. He provided timely communication throughout the entire process. He was excellent at managing sales expectations and did not overpromise and underdeliver. The sale of the property exceeded our expectations, with it fetching well above the reserve price. I really enjoyed working with Thom and will definitely be using him the next time I sell a property. Highly recommended. – Vinesh
Approachable, friendly, and responsive
Throughout our interactions, Maddy has been approachable, friendly and happy to answer the many questions I have. She is very responsive and will strive to get an answer to you asap.
Perfect service
Perfect service from a very dedicated team that found a solution catered to my personal situation. Highly recommend.
First rate on all counts!
We found Pat to be the perfect real estate agent, for both her professionalism and also her kindliness. She has been tireless in her efforts on our behalf, always readily available, and very understanding of and sensitive to our situation. We could not have been happier with our experience in dealing with Pat! Very highly recommended!
Delighted with the process and outcome
Maddy was determined to get us the best price she could when selling our very "emotionally attached" Kingston apartment..... AND that she did! We are delighted with the process and outcome. We put a lot of care and thought in to our renovation in which she acknowledged and bought in to her sales spiel when dealing with all prospective buyers. As we worked through the sales campaign, both myself and John were unsure what our apartment was going to go for but we had faith in Maddy as she was always very confident, engaging and responsive to all our questions throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone selling, she was always a pleasure to deal with, enthusiastic and competent in her role as our sales agent. Thanks again Maddy. Regards Kath and John Kingston ACT
Communication was fantastic
Quick sale. Michael’s communication was fantastic and he acted as a great liaison between ourselves and the buyers. He sold our property in less than 20 days for a price we never dreamed of! – Stephanie
Professional, helpful, friendly and exceeded all my expectations
I would highly recommend Blackshaw Belconnen. The staff are extremely professional, helpful, friendly and exceeded all my expectations. Their market knowledge was amazing and I would have no hesitation in using them again and recommending them.
Cut above the rest, she achieved the best results with great integrity and professionalism
From the initial meeting with Pat, we were impressed with her extensive knowledge of the market and her vision to see the potential for achieving the strongest result for our property. We signed with Pat as she set the bar high and was prepared to do the work. Pat and her team at all stages were highly efficient, delivered high quality service and superior communication to buyers and sellers alike. Pat exceeded our expectations for the sale and made the whole process of selling our long time family home, a positive experience.
Expertise, persistence, support and authenticity!
Mario has been working with us for a year now, to sell our house and help us find our new home. Mario and his team have been open communicators, honest, personable, dedicated and patient. They worked with us closely on our sale strategy and were never out of options, adapted to our requirement changes and market changes. Mario understood what we were looking for in our new home and kept us informed, and showed us many houses before they went on the market. Thank you guys for your effort, expertise, persistence, support, follow up and authenticity! We appreciate everything you did and are doing.
Professional and communicated quickly
Professional, thorough and personable. We selected Michael as the Agent to sell our property having reviewed his sales in the area. From our first meeting, Michael demonstrated a professional approach and sound market knowledge. He explained the process and was accommodating to include some of our ideas and pointing out where issues could arise. Throughout the marketing campaign and sale process, Michael and his team were very professional, communicated quickly, clearly and provided sound advice. – Joe
I highly recommend their services
Wow - I have had such a positive experience with the Blackshaw Belconnen team over the last several months. I have bought one property and sold two and so have experienced their service from both the buyer and seller perspectives. They have provided an excellent service in all aspects for the three properties and I highly recommend their services.
She and Blackshaw Real Estate are professional, dedicated, and committed
We are very satisfied with the excellent work by Sandra and the team at Blackshaw Coastal Real Estate in securing the sale of our family home. Sandra is very energetic, bubbly, and dedicated. Her knowledge and professionalism is evident in the way she conducts herself. Sandra always kept us up to date and informed. Her communication, both written and orally, was impeccable. Noticeably, Sandra's charisma and commitment are contagious. Deb and I would definitely recommend Sandra and the team at Blackshaw Coastal Real Estate.
Genuine and honest
I had an amazing experience with Vince Qi. His market knowledge and overall support was fantastic. Vince is very down to earth and easy to deal with. I have always found him to be genuine and honest and would very much recommend Vince and his team to anyone needing help with property in Coombs and surrounding areas.
Second-to-none
Michael's market knowledge is second-to-none. Michael and his staff ensured that we were kept up-to-date at all times and provided information even before questions were posed. His professionalism is exemplary as is his knowledge of the market. No details were overlooked during initial discussions, marketing and the actual day of the auction. To say that we were confident in his handling of our property sale would be an understatement. It is often said "that to achieve the best result, you need the best man for the job". Obviously, from the result obtained, we certainly chose the best man. Michael and his team were outstanding. – Ian & Helen
He went the extra mile for us
We were very impressed with Jack's diligence and effort. He went the extra mile for us, successfully sold our house, and even helped us purchase our new house. Jack was punctual, hardworking, listened, and always followed up on queries. He knew the market well. Highly recommended.
Professional & approachable
I had the pleasure of working with Sandra during our recent realty transaction, and I must express my utmost satisfaction with her exceptional service. Sandra navigated the buying process with impressive efficiency and professionalism, addressing every detail with care. Her dedication and expertise made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. We are so pleased with her performance that we now eagerly look forward to having Sandra represent us again as we entrust her to sell a property for our parents. Sandra's commitment to excellence truly sets her apart in the real estate industry.
A fantastic result
From my first appraisal meeting with Robert Westropp-Evans and Vince Qi, I was impressed with their knowledge, professionalism and friendliness. I felt as a team, combined with Robert’s invaluable long experience in real estate, that they were the team for me. They helped achieve a fantastic result.
He was outstanding!
Excellent Agent. We would recommend Michael Braddon to anyone buying or selling their home. He was outstanding! – Donna and Adam
One of the best agents we’ve worked with
Pat was nothing short of excellent. There was never any hard sell, she was open, honest and understands the area exceptionally well. Pat also made everything easy, nothing was a problem and all of our emails and texts were answered quickly. Pat also helped us arrange quotes from trades before moving in. Thanks Pat, you have been fantastic.
Fantastic job
Blackshaw Belconnen put in a substantial amount of effort when selling my parents' property. Rain, hail or shine, they were always there and did the best to achieve the best outcome for my parents. Not only did they exceed the current markets expectations, but they also did a fantastic job in helping them to secure their new dream house.
Displays the utmost in honesty and integrity
If I was to buy or sell real estate in the Canberra region again, Vince Qi is the first and only person I would call. Vince didn’t just exceed our expectations, he blitzed them. Vince is more than just a salesman, he is a gentleman first and foremost, his dedication to get the best possible outcome for his clients is first and foremost, and in doing this he displays the utmost in honesty and integrity. To Vince, we were more than “just another vendor”. From the very beginning, it was like we were family. I would have absolutely no hesitations in recommending Vince to any potential sellers.
Immensely impressed
Thorough. Honest. Organised. Meticulous. Immensely impressed with Thom and the whole experience in taking us on the journey of selling our home and managing our stress levels as his responsibility. With regular catch-ups for updates and advice, backed by his understanding of the market and the local demand, we never felt pressured or uncomfortable in making decisions and appreciated the quiet level of reality he brought to the table. – Paul
Excellent attention to our needs
Pat gave us 100% attention and she quickly got the results. I would recommend her to anyone who is selling or buying in the Batemans Bay area. Well done Pat. Thinking about you often and wish you well. Thank you.
First class service with an enjoyable experience
From day one of the process, Jack's customer service was impeccable! At every point I had complete trust, piece of mind, and confidence in Jack's ability and couldn’t find a fault! Come auction day, the weeks of hard work that Jack had put in were clearly evident with a sales price that far exceeded my expectations! Jack's genuine warmth and care makes him easy to approach and his negotiating skills truly are an art and craft that many agent’s simply haven’t mastered! If you are looking for an agent who delivers first class service with an enjoyable experience, contact Jack and only Jack!
Professionalism and extensive knowledge
Mark has been amazing since I signed on with Blackshaw. From the start, his professionalism and extensive knowledge of the current market and rental values was able to deliver a rent that was a reflection of the true value of the property. Mark was able to assist in ensuring that the property met all current legislation including all necessary repairs. He has been swift and professional in his responses to any questions or concerns raised.
Would be pleased to work with him again
Craig Sleeman was empathetic, flexible and efficient when dealing with our rental property. Would be pleased to work with him again. – Katie
Fantastic realtor
Even though we have a delay with getting the paperwork done by the vendor, Bronte kept us in loop and assisted with patience through the process.
We couldn't have been happier
From the moment we met Jack at an open home, we felt comfortable to deal with him. Jack introduced us to the property we ended up purchasing and went above and beyond to help us in the purchase despite not being the selling agent on the property. After a few very rough experiences with real estate agents in Canberra, Jack restored our faith in the process. He was very open about wanting to do so and was a brilliant communicator throughout buying and selling. Our townhouse ended up selling for a price well above our expectations despite the challenges of selling during COVID-19. We only needed two open homes and he was able to bring six prospective buyers with offers. We couldn't have been happier with the result. You only have to read all the other reviews on this page to appreciate that he is a great agent.
Always one step ahead
Mark Turner has been a strong communicator, efficient and one step ahead throughout our engagement. Using Blackshaw Real Estate Manuka to manage our tenants and property has been a wonderful decision. Highly recommend Mark and the team!
Professional, genuine, honest, and more
We cannot recommend Michael and his team highly enough as they ran an outstanding marketing campaign which resulted in securing the highest suburb sale price for the property we were selling. Michael is extremely professional, genuine, honest, possesses excellent communication skills and is very knowledgeable in regards to the property market in our area. We were always kept informed about the outcome of open homes and Michael was always responsive to any queries that we had. Thank you to Michael, Stacy and the team for the excellent service we received. – Steve & Julie
Great real estate agent
Bronte was very approachable and responded to our emails and phone calls promptly. Thank you and looking forward to enjoying our new house.
An absolute pleasure
Every step of the way, Jack was a pleasure to deal with. Throughout the inspections and the auction process, he inspired confidence by leading us through the process and keeping us informed. Any new information was passed on to us without delay. From my experience as a buyer, I highly recommend Jack and would be very happy to enlist his services as a selling agent.
Professionalism, expertise, and patience
This was my first effort in the rental market in the Canberra area and I needed someone to walk me through the whole rental process. I couldn't have asked for a better team than Courtney and Kiri at Blackshaw Manuka. Their professionalism, expertise and patience, especially when dealing with a first timer, made the whole process incredibly easy! They were prompt when following up on the myriad of questions and requests I made of them. I would, without hesitation, suggest their services to anyone looking for a Property Management Team to look after an investment! They are a credit to their company!
It is clear that Blackshaw have no competition
The service I received from Alicia and Marie was exemplary. Aside from the process being quick and easy, Alicia went over and above in accommodating me when collecting keys/executing final docs. At no stage did I have any issues getting in contact with Alicia and the team, and responses were prompt and comprehensive. This was the easiest leasing process I have completed. Having attempted interaction with other groups in the ACT, it is clear that Blackshaw have no competition in the quality of service they provide. Will have no reservation in recommending Blackshaw in the future, there is clearly a culture that encourages both performance and relationship management. – Andrew
She is very professional in her work
Bronte was very helpful and good to deal with, nothing was a problem or too much trouble. She is very professional in her work, always answers her phone and is friendly and easy to communicate with.
Haven't been disappointed
Jack was a pleasure to work with right from the start. He has a sound knowledge of the marketing and was able to reassure us the whole way through. We first met Jack about two years ago and said we were going to sell but not just yet. He didn't pester us but stayed in touch and listened always with respect to our planning. Engaging agents a very difficult decision but we eventually decided upon Jack to work with and haven't been disappointed. Jack gave sound advice and was always willing and happy to go the extra mile; he inspired trust, both with us as vendors but also I felt with the buyers. Jack was always to be contacted and would call back promptly if not able to answer immediately.
Very satisfied with the level of service
It has been a pleasure working with Courtney and Kiri from Blackshaw Real Estate for the management of my property. They were patient with all of my queries during the initial setup of the property and have been engaging ever since. Timely responses are received on any queries no matter how big or small. I have been very satisfied with the level of service and support and would recommend both ladies for any property matters.
Our favorite real estate agent!
Our favorite real estate agent! From our first meeting with Thom, he impressed us with his down to earth approach and professional advice. Thom managed the sale of our home with ease and his experience was invaluable. Not only was Thom a pleasure to work with and his communication throughout excellent, he also delivered an amazing result. We would highly recommend Thom to anyone looking to sell their home. – Toby & Jess
Exceeded expectations
I recently purchased a new home with Bronte as my agent. Not only did she facilitate a friendly, professional, and thoroughly transparent experience, I also found Bronte's honesty and forthright style made for an efficient no fuss end-to-end process. Further, Bronte's natural warmth and ease with people, enabled an instant rapport where the requirements and style and configuration of the house I was looking for, was immediately understood. The same day we were introduced, Bronte found my new home for me! Such is her innate ability to intuit a client's needs. It is such a pleasure dealing with a young person who has clearly found where their skills and capabilities match perfectly with their chosen career. I can highly recommend Bronte to anyone looking for an agent that understands their agencies' current market offerings, and presents them realistically as well as highlighting the features and potential benefits of each one with great care and respect. Easily the best purchase experience I've had to date.
Always responds to inquiries promptly
It was a great experience having Jack as my agent (twice). He is really helpful and proactive. Always responds to inquiries promptly and tries his best to assist solving problems. I would recommend Jack to my friends as an agent for property sale or buy.
Super efficient
After trying for 15 months to have a paint job carried out, Leonie Baumer was super efficient in securing a tradesperson to undertake the job immediately.
Beyond our expectations
A very big thank you to Michael and the team at Blackshaw Gungahlin. We couldn’t recommend them enough. The team went above and beyond with our home and received an absolutely amazing result well beyond our expectations. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and will do everything he can to get you the best for your home. Kylie was responsible for developing our amazing marketing campaign. Her write up about our home gave us goosebumps. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to manage it for us. The social, online and print material has provided us with everlasting memories after working with their photography and videography teams. A big thank you to Michael, Stacey, Tom, Kylie and the rest of the team for helping us reach a record price for our home. – Adam & Reanna
Great agent
Thanks to Bronte and the Blackshaw Coastal Team for achieving a great result when selling our Coastal home of 15 years. Her communication throughout the process was excellent and handled a few tricky issues with ease. Highly recommend Bronte!
He had great ideas
Jack was very professional and easy to talk to. The market was changing quite quickly and he was able to keep me up to date. He offered great advice and was open and honest about buyer feedback. He had great ideas about the strategy and how to achieve a sale to meet my needs and not linger on the market for too long.
An outstanding rental agent
Leonie from Blackshaw Manuka always responded quickly to emails and was prompt in processing our bond refund etc. at the end of the lease. Thanks for your great customer service Blackshaw.
Would definitely recommend
I was a tenant at a property managed by Blackshaw Gungahlin for two years, and it was the best experience I have had as a tenant. My property manager, Tahlia, was always very accommodating in arranging inspections and I had no issues with the property during my tenancy. They were always polite and very responsive to any enquiries I made. Would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking to rent a property. – Jessica
She is knowledgeable, professional and lovely to deal with
Bronte was a big help in helping us secure our new home. She was proactive, responsive, and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with.
A stress-free experience
Jack was very helpful and insightful helping me to sell my house quickly and without fuss. He provided realistic advice on preparing the property for sale without going over the top, arranged great styling and put me in touch with tradies who could help prepare my property. The anticipated timeline for sale was pretty much spot on what we achieved, making it a stress-free experience.
Provided tremendous service
Leonie Baumer has been doing a great job since she took over as our property manager. She has been very attentive and provided tremendous service. Everything has been quick and efficient, which we appreciate very much.
Very responsive, helpful and professional
Blackshaw was fantastic throughout my lease with one of their properties, in particular Tahlia Rennie our agent. She was very responsive, helpful and professional and made our time working together very easy. Would definitely recommend! – Jack
Thanks to her
We were very fortunate to have Jessica as our real estate agent. Jessica was aware of what we were looking for and remained in contact with us. We have now purchased our new home and the process and communication has been excellent. Thank you Jessica.
He knew the market well
We were very impressed with Jack's diligence and effort. He went the extra mile for us, successfully sold our house, and even helped us purchase our new house. Jack was punctual, hardworking, listened, and always followed up on queries. He knew the market well. Highly recommended.
Very happy. Again.
This is the second time that we have chosen Michael to sell a property for us and he has not disappointed. Michael is a hard worker with a no-nonsense approach who has a knack for finding buyers. Our property sold quickly at auction and well above both the reserve and what others had advised us the property would achieve. Very happy. Again. – Geoff
Friendly and easy to deal with
Jess was a great sales agent to work with to sell my land. Fantastic communication and keeping me updated on a process that became quite drawn out to reach the exchange stage (by the buyer). I had to just trust the process and remain patient to ensure the sale, as did Jess. Overall, she was very friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend going through her if you're looking for someone who you can feel comfortable with and who you can trust to see the sale through to the end. Thanks again Jess!
Above and beyond
Jack was very professional and kept us up to date with everything that was happening. He was always available to answer our questions and went above and beyond to get the price we were after.
Professional, helpful, and honest
From our very first conversation with Gillian, we were reassured the sale of our home would be in good hands. Gillian's attention to detail and consistent communication throughout was unwavering. Her knowledge of all aspects involved in selling a home was evident with her helpful and honest explanations and professional guidance. Despite restrictions with Covid-19 lockdowns in the ACT and us being located interstate, Gillian exceeded our expectations. Our inability to be on site for inspections, trades or styling our property was looked after each time by Gillian with her enthusiastic, and professional approach - nothing was too hard. We also greatly appreciated Gillian guiding us through our first (vendor) online auction - culminating in a tremendously successful outcome. This is the second property Gillian has sold for us and we highly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling their property.
Another successful sale with her!
As a builder in the local area, it has been an absolute pleasure working alongside Jess in the housing market. The sale of this house was made seamless with the professionalism and experience Jess has in the area. Overall, Jess has made this sale a very positive experience - we look forward to working with her again in the future. Professional whilst retaining a very appreciated personal touch, thank you Jess!
Excellent agent
We really value communication, experience and local knowledge and Michael had all of those in spades. – Sam & Louise

Excellent agent. We bought a house through Michael & he was a pleasure to deal with. He was always very communicative & answered all our questions (we had some odd ones!). It was all a very smooth process. – Michael & Channy
Couldn't fault him
We'd spoken to Jack about putting our house on the market well before listing and explained that we didn't want to sell until he was confident that we could get the price we were after. He kept us in the loop with similar sales and didn't apply any pressure to list early. Once we were all confident in the price we could get, we listed and after Jack's negotiations with a few potential buyers, we sold after only 2 open homes for a price higher than we'd hoped for! Couldn't fault him through the whole process and it felt as though he was as emotionally invested in the sale as we were.
We can highly recommend her to anyone
When we made the decision to sell our house, we had several agents to choose from and in the end we went with Stacy from Blackshaw because of her friendly and professional attitude. She was honest with us throughout the process, providing guidance and assurance at every step. We are so happy that we chose Stacy as our agent and can highly recommend her to anyone else looking to make a move in the property market. - Kylie & Luke
Very responsive
We had Blackshaw Manuka as the agent of the home we previously rented. Just wanted to leave a good review for the agents Wendy Higgs and Dan Busing. Key experience I wouldn't forget was when there were repairs that needed to be done and we were ready to just accept the inconvenience while we were at the house but Wendy suggested the repairs to be done after we vacate instead. Both of them are very responsive which is miles away from the previous property managers we experienced. They've also been very thorough in the inspections they did compared to earlier inspections. In summary, I believe that they are truly concerned about both the renters' and owners' concerns.
5 star from day one
Jessica was incredibly helpful from the moment we walked into the open home. She was able to answer all questions and provide information on the unit we were purchasing as well as the surrounding area. Jessica provided great communication throughout the purchase process and was always available whenever we reached out. Five star experience throughout the whole process, and we couldn't recommend Jessica any higher.
Honest and reliable
Jack is easy to talk to and a very good listener. Honest and reliable, aware of our needs as well as providing a realistic valuation in the current market. Did not try to give us a false hope of more money for our land than was achievable. Always kept us informed as to what was happening. Jack’s suggested marketing edge with signage type and drone view options worked well for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jack.
Easy to deal with, straight forward, prompt & helpful
Thom was always prompt with meeting me & very quick to respond if I phoned or text. He was very courteous & I could not fault him at all. (I never give 10 out of 10 but had to this time). – Denise

Thom was very easy to deal with, straight forward, prompt & helpful. I would highly recommend Thom to buyers & sellers alike. – Dominique
Highly recommend!
Dan Busing has been exceptional to deal with. He is a great, clear communicator who works hard in his role and gets back to you in a timely manner. Many thanks Dan - we appreciate all of your assistance and hope we can work with you again in the future.
10/10 best agent on the South Coast!
Jess was amazing! We had our property listed for 4 months with another agent with no success and minimal communication. We reached out to Jess to sell for us off market and she found a buyer for us in a bit over a month. She was so lovely to work with and kept us informed of all the buyers she was walking through the property and we could tell she knew their situation and well-vetted them. I would recommend Jess to any vendor looking to sell their property on the South Coast and won't hesitate to use her again in the future. Thank you Jess for achieving such a fast and good result for us in a very slow market.
He remained professional and respectful at all times
We came across Jack when the house across the road, which was identical to ours, went on the market. He was engaging, friendly and casual which made us feel very comfortable. Jack was very knowledgeable about the housing market in our area at the time and although we weren't interested in selling at the time, he gave us some valuable advice on renovation and the potential to over-capitalise. When we decided to sell our house, it was as a result of our marriage breakdown. Although there was no animosity and we remain friends to this day, Jack helped make a very stressful time, less stressful by ensuring we were both kept up-to-date with every detail of the sale. His casual and friendly demeanour was exactly what we needed at the time, yet he also remained professional and respectful at all times.
We’ve never had such great communication
20 years of being landlords and you are the first property manager that sends us updates before we even think to chase up what’s happening. Four agencies over those 20 years, more than a dozen property managers, and we’ve never had such great communication. You’re amazing and very much appreciated Tahlia. THANK YOU. – Deb & Andrew (Landlords)

We are extremely happy with the service we received from Tahlia. Nothing is too much trouble and she is always happy to help and keep us updated. We find the service professional, yet personal and intend to keep our property with Blackshaw. – Russell & Rosalie (Landlords)

Tahlia handled my concerns and situation with professionalism and care. She made me feel that my situation was a priority and that she had my best interests at heart when it came to negotiations with the tenant. – RR (Landlord)

I just wanted to let you know that Tahlia Rennie has been doing an outstanding job of managing the difficult issues associated with my property and I wanted to make sure you were aware of how impressed I've been with her consistently high quality work. – Melanie (Landlord)
Professionalism, communication, and prompt action
Dan is a highly professional real estate agent and is a person of great character. Most importantly, Dan is a pleasant person to do business with. Dan has a positive character, a great commitment to service and he deals with clients in a very friendly and efficient way. I wish Dan all the best for the future, and I am confident that he will have an exceptional career in the many years ahead.
Professional
Charming, helpful, very bright, and insightful.
Resounding success
Jack recently assisted us to sell my elderly mother's home after previously helping us with our family home. Mum's situation was quite different from ours and the challenges of changing her home for sale, the exhibition process and potentially the auction were highly daunting and not necessarily manageable for her situation. Jack's sensitivity, calm demeanour, readiness to go through things gently with her multiple times was commendable. He worked closely with me to manage exhibitions and showings with as little impost on her as possible. He fully understood that sale prior to Auction would be the best scenario for mum and worked to achieve it, with resounding success. Thanks so much Jack.
Exceeded my expectations
As always, thank you for your promptness, professionalism & courtesy. You make us feel in touch & still close to our home despite the fact we are now in WA! And despite many repair issues that took time to sort due to outside factors, you always are ready for the next step, writing to us straight away, offering options & advice. – Nat & Clinton

I was so impressed. Craig has done an excellent job that has exceeded my expectation. He was able to retain the current tenant as I preferred & successfully negotiated a rent increase. I have not had a clue of the rental market. Craig went the extra mile to help us. It was a win-win situation for the tenant & me. A job well done. I would definitely refer your services to my friends.
Communication was amazing
So professional, responsive, and wonderful to communicate with! Zoe and Courtney both went out of their way to help us secure a property when moving from interstate. Their communication was amazing and they were both so helpful.
Excellent experience and fabulous customer service and dedication
Jessica is hardworking and goes out of her way to make your dreams come true. She went above and beyond for me and would highly recommend her to anyone selling their home.
He was the obvious choice
We have recently sold our first property in Canberra and we can highly recommend Jack Doyle from Blackshaw Belconnen. Jack was very professional and polite throughout the whole experience and provided us with clear advice and updates from beginning to end. Jack’s competitive rates, coupled with his high level of professionalism, knowledge of the industry and personable nature made him the obvious choice for us when selling our home.
Extremely thorough, professional, experienced, personable, and especially understanding
I wanted to pass on some positive feedback in that I found Marie to be extremely thorough, professional, experienced, personable, and especially understanding of my family's circumstances. - JD (Tenant), June 2018

We’re so happy to have you and the team looking after a beloved investment, especially as the advice, assistance, support and endearing courteousness began with our first phone call. You should all feel proud that your business is at the top of the market in so many ways! - Clinton (Landlord), May 2018
A breath of fresh air
We recently purchased a home from Christine Shaw and we were very happy with her and Blackshaw Manuka. After the initial contact, Christine Shaw was on the phone quickly to give a very comprehensive overview of the property as we were in lockdown and unable to inspect. She was very accommodating and open during the offer process and made us feel comfortable to buy sight unseen by promoting us to contact all the relevant inspectors to get as much information as possible. After having a very disappointing previous 3 months trying to purchase, Christine Shaw was a breath of fresh air and made us very happy to have found a home.
Great service and result from Blackshaw
I utilised the services of Jessica to sell my property in Lilli Pilli, New South Wales. She was honest with her appraisal of the property and we worked together to achieve a wonderful sale for my place. Jessica kept me informed every step of the way and was professional in her interactions and her real estate knowledge was outstanding. I recommend anyone selling around Batemans Bay area to consider Jessica.
I was thrilled
My initial meeting with Jack was informative, positive and reassuring. Throughout the sale campaign, Jack was in communication every step of the way and more importantly delivers on his word. I was thrilled with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending Jack Doyle.
At all times patient and supportive
I have known Christine Shaw for a number of years and have been impressed with her social impact business model with an aim to reduce homelessness in our city with 10% of profits going to Hands Across Canberra. With that in mind, it was a simple choice to choose Christine to sell my house which has been part of the family for 29 years. She was warm and enthusiastic and a great asset to have when you need balanced, well rounded advice in difficult times. She is an experienced agent who worked extremely hard during the COVID-19 lockdown period to promote our townhouse. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our auction was online, and all visits when able to be conducted were for only a 15 minute period with very limited numbers. Christine was at all times patient and supportive and kept us informed at every stage. We were pleased with the auction outcome and would have no hesitation in recommending Christine Shaw to any other person seeking to sell their home with Blackshaw Manuka.
Friendly and approachable
Jessica was friendly and approachable when showing me the house that I decided to buy. She gave me all relevant information, showed interest in me as a buyer and was an excellent and responsive communicator at all times. I think she took a balanced approach to representing her vendor's interests to get a fair price for the property. Dealing with an agent who appears to be passionate about her job was refreshing. Jessica was professional and helpful at all times.
A top class agent
Great work by a lovely young man. Totally dedicated to getting us the best price for our property. Always available and always willing to assist in any way. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a top class agent.
Highly recommend
Excellent local knowledge, hardworking, calm, and confident, clear communication, always professional, highly recommend.
Things went so smoothly
Jack is a pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable and courteous agent. He is there every step of the way, when he’s needed. Things went so smoothly, and we got a better price than we expected. I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with him again.
An ethical, professional, responsive agent
When renting, it's important to have an agent you can trust who is going to do the right thing for the owner and the tenant. Wendy Higgs is an ethical, professional, and responsive agent who wants the best possible outcome in any situation. She's communicative, responsive, honest and fair - if all agents were like Wendy, we'd all be lucky. Would recommend her to anyone looking to find an agent to manage their property or tenants needing a great property manager. 10/10.
Integrity and honesty
We have both bought and sold with Pat Jameson at Blackshaw and we can offer nothing but praise for her integrity and honesty. The Team did a fabulous job negotiating our sale in an exceedingly fast time. A big thanks to Pat, Jessica, and Bronte.
Genuine, warm, and ingratiating
Jack Doyle is friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable. His genuine, warm and ingratiating style puts you at ease and his in depth knowledge of the local market and recent sales makes him a formidable negotiator to get you the price you want. Willing to go the extra mile, Jack was always available and ready to answer any question I had about how the sale was progressing and next steps. I felt I could trust Jack to act in my best interest and follow through without delay on getting my needs met. Additionally, Jack was generous with his industry contacts and able to recommend trustworthy service providers, from painters to mortgage brokers. I would recommend Jack to anyone wishing to have a smooth and successful sale of their home or investment property.
Friendly, informative, and quick to respond
A great experience working with Michael. He was friendly, informative and quick to respond. Would recommend and helped ensure a smooth settlement process.
Patient & understanding
Pat's professional approach ultimately succeeded in our successful purchase. She provided sound advice and understood our concerns. Pat is also very knowledgeable about the local market.
Kept us well informed
We were extremely happy with Chris' market knowledge which was invaluable along with his professionalism. Chris kept us well informed throughout the process from advertisement to sold.
So professional, helpful, and efficient
I had the best possible experience with Blackshaw Manuka and specifically, Zoe. Zoe is so professional, helpful, and efficient. Zoe made the entire process as easy and enjoyable as it could have been. Our experience would not have been the same without her, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much Zoe!
Very professional
Very professional, got the job done with minimum stress. Thanks Pat.
Helped me find my dream home
The staff are absolutely lovely and I had the pleasure of dealing with Zoe who helped me find a property. I would highly recommend going through Zoe at Blackshaw Real Estate when finding your new home. She was very easy to deal with and helped me find my dream home in a short amount of time.
He is always reliable
We bought a new one from Chris. He is always reliable and could reply to any questions and concerns on time. Not like other agents hardly to reach by phone call, Chris is always there. He calls back very fast and provided us information about properties.
I found her very professional and responsive
Pat was very professional and easy to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the market and other developments in the particular location that we were interested in but in a lowkey way that did not make me feel hassled. She responded promptly to questions and also kept me informed of progress.
What a difference a professional diligent agent makes
A family property time to sell. Chris Churchill, (he likes CC) was recommended as an honest agent. Did I say difficult times? Covid had hit, no open house, actually a tough time to list. We went private treaty no option. So he is doing appointments old school. So let’s talk the result. Highest price ever in the street. CC negotiated and negotiated for us, he was there for the building report, CC was there for 2nd building report. CC kept us advised at every twist and turn for the going on 2 month journey, enabling us to make the right decisions. We knocked back 3 offers in the time. We are happy, the buyer is happy. What a difference a professional diligent agent makes. I cannot rate higher Chris Churchill any higher.
She is an excellent advocate to have on your team
Christine Shaw has advised me through several property transactions now, and she is an excellent advocate to have on your team when you need balanced, well rounded advice. She is an experienced agent who will work extremely hard for you. I highly recommend her. Thank you Christine for sharing your wealth of property expertise, I feel much better informed thanks to your thorough approach discussing all options. It helped me make well informed choices and maximise the best outcomes!
Professionalism personified!
Pat was an absolute pleasure to work with - unrivalled local knowledge, accommodating, flexible, and always working with everyone's best interests front and centre.
Very dependable
We found Chris to be a very easy going partner in the sale. He is dependable and a great communicator who followed up with us in every step of the process.
Excellent experience
Pat was brilliant to deal with - responsive to our questions and concerns, good knowledge of the local area and market dynamics, and very friendly. Our experience as buyers was made much less stressful by Pat's calm and expert professionalism.
Stunning service
From our first meeting, Chris’ thoroughness and professional approach impressed us and the detailed advice on marketing options convinced us we had made the right choice. The cost of options was clearly explained and the pros and cons given allowed us to make an informed decision on how best to proceed. Chris’ advice on presentation of the property gave us a sound basis on preparation for our first open day. We appreciated the feedback on those viewing our home and the confirmation that we had presented the property in the best light. We would heartily recommend Chris and his team to others, especially to those in looking to sell a rural property.
It was a pleasant and seamless journey
Big thank you to Vince with his success of selling our property! It was a pleasant and seamless journey in placing our first property on the market. The team at Blackshaw Manuka was amazing to deal with :). Another thanks to Andrew for doing a great job as the auctioneer of the property.
A pleasure doing business
Thanks to Pat, the task of selling my father's home was made so much easier. Pat's local knowledge and many years of experience within the customer service made everything run smoothly. Anyone considering buying or selling real estate in the Bay area should talk to Pat before anyone else. A pleasure to do business with.
Excellent at keeping in communication through every step!
Chris was incredibly helpful with the purchasing of my property, talked me through things, as a first home buyer, I was more unsure of and was excellent at keeping in communication through every step!
Nothing any problem at all
Pat has been an absolutely professional real estate agent with an eye for detail to perfection. When a question arose that Pat may have been unsure about, the issue was addressed swiftly and we were advised in a very short time thereafter. This made both our inspections, building and pest reports and any relevant issues an easy period to make reasonable decisions moving forward. Needless to say, Pat has a pleasant, positive, and friendly professional manner that we found so easy to deal with in all aspects of this property purchase.
Above and beyond
We are so grateful to Luke Revet who went above and beyond to help us explore our options in buying our new home. He made himself available and gave freely of his time. He was an excellent sounding board and counselled us with quality advice. He is professional and very personable and we feel that any vendor or purchaser would be fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him.

He helped us be organised with everything needed
After a long self renovation, we pondered who we would get to sell our house. We chose Chris after a Blackshaw letter box drop and liked his presentation and professional approach. Once meeting with Chris, we learned of his long term sales experience and management. Chris communicated effectively throughout the process and updated us with feedback after buyer viewings. Chris also helped us navigate the paperwork, legal requirements, contracts and at times, offering just good advice to help us be organised with everything needed. A big thank you and we highly recommend Chris Churchill to help with selling your property.
Expertise and professional
We brought our forever home from Bronte and she was a delight to deal with. She was always approachable and professional when dealing with us. Thank you Bronte!
Remarkable and greatly appreciated
We appreciate all of your efforts during these last six months. Your ideas, innovation, and support are remarkable and greatly appreciated.
Made the process easy
Chris was extremely professional and helpful throughout our first home buying experience. He provided great quality service to us as the homebuyers and made the process easy.
Amazing agent
Bronte Morton from Blackshaw was just brilliant managing the purchase of our home at Malua Bay. She is very professional in her dealing with clients and the seller of houses. We found Bronte very approachable no matter what the requests and prompt in responding to us and the vendor. We negotiated the purchase price and conditions, agreed terms with the vendor, and exchanged contracts of the sale, all within one week of the property being listed. This was almost totally the result of Bronte's hard work and effort in carefully managing her relationship with both the vendor and ourselves. Bronte was an absolute pleasure to work with and we can't recommend her highly enough to prospective buyers and sellers of real estate in the South Coast region. Ten out of ten for Bronte Morton, she made our real estate buying experience as pleasurable as it could be. We will definitely look forward to engaging Bronte again for all our real estate needs in the future. Absolutely top of the class!

Mario and his team have an extensive knowledge of the inner south market. Matched with his high level of professionalism and undeniable work ethic, he was able to deliver a great result in a very uncertain market.

Provided ample information
This was my first purchase of a property and the assistance provided by Chris through the process was very much appreciated. Prior to my purchase, Chris provided ample information on the property to help with the decision. I wouldn't hesitate using Chris again to purchase a property and recommend Chris to anyone seeking to buy in a rural areas around the ACT and NSW.
Professional and honest sales team
Blackshaw South Coast team led by Jess Williams was a delight to work with. They were professional, personable, and went above and beyond to sell our Tomakin property. We were very pleased with the result that Jess was able to attain in negotiating with the buyers. We would recommend Jess to anyone wanting to sell.
Positive, responsive, and successful
David was very good to work with. He was responsive and clear in communication. He was able to develop trust quickly with me as seller and with potential buyers. David also kept across broader real estate trends in the ACT. He achieved a successful result.

Was different from the other agents and offered a fresh perspective
We met with about 5 agents when preparing to sell our house in the bush. While he is experienced in rural properties, Chris probably had the least experience selling properties in our area. This appealed to us because his strategy for selling was different from the other agents and offered a fresh perspective. Chris was the only agent to encourage us to sell at auction (which other agents said was an unpopular option), and while there was a risk involved, we had a fantastic outcome - much better than anticipated. Chris was great to work with throughout the whole process, he is highly recommended.
Excellent service
Jessica was great throughout the whole process.
Very professional and kept us informed
Robert was one of two agents responsible for the sale of our house. Robert was at all times very professional and kept us informed of his actions and what was happening in our area. The sale took place during very exceptional times. We relied upon his knowledge and in-depth experience of the Canberra real estate market.

Extremely pleased
Regarding the sale of our rural property at 146 Moore Road, Burra, both my wife and I were extremely pleased with the way Mr. Chris Churchill performed. He was present at all times during inspections of our premises and the surrounding 100 (approx) acres, and he explained to all the prospective parties the full potential of the property. He at all times acted most professionally and we have no hesitation in providing our recommendation to any future clients. - Sincerely Carlisle Stephens
Very happy
Pat was very helpful and stayed in touch throughout the purchase.
Proactive and professional
I’d definitely recommend Debbie for anyone who has a busy lifestyle and wants a smooth sale process. She is very experienced and I barely had to ask for anything - she’d already thought of it before I asked.

Fantastic and friendly
Pat has been so wonderful to liase with throughout the buying process. What a beautiful person to have involved.
Professional, informative, understanding, and supportive
Christine exceeded all my expectations in an agent, she went above and beyond in regards to selling our house. I was going through a difficult time in my life and Christine was very supportive, informative, and was always there to answer any questions I had.

Thank you again for all your assistance with getting our property market ready and thank you for your patience with us at this time. I would like to personally thank you and let you know we would be very happy to refer any business in the future to you.
Trusted agent
Pat kept me up to date with options, progress, and local property issues. I felt that I could trust her which I value in the murky real estate world.
Professional, honest, delightful - A real estate treasure
Debbie got the result for us - selling our home in the most difficult and uncertain of times during Covid. Debbie worked tirelessly and went above and beyond for our sale. Her ethics, professionalism, and genuine care and kindness were a surprise for us. We can’t rate Debbie highly enough. Not the usual real estate experience for sure. Apart from making the selling experience pleasant, Debbie’s advice on getting the house looking it’s best was invaluable. Her support team are also fantastic. Highly recommended.

A big thankyou to Chris for helping us find this property. His sound local knowledge and friendly approach was wonderful throughout. We would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell. As we live interstate, Chris kindly offered assistance with finding a local solicitor and also assisted in introducing us to our future neighbors which was very helpful. Thankyou Chris.
10 star review
We found Pat and the whole team at Blackshaw to be the most professional, helpful, and courteous in our search of a home. We were searching for quite some time and Pat would always be prompt to alert us when new homes hit the market and willing to show us any home we asked to see making herself available at short notice. We would thoroughly recommend Pat and the team!
Her work ethic and positive attitude should be an exemplar to all agents

Chris was fantastic from the get go. He was very helpful and knowledgeable in regards to the property we were interested in. If he was unable to provide an answer on the spot, he was very quick to find out for us. Chris was also very patient with us, being first home buyers, the process and requirements were all new to us and he helped us through this with ease. Highly recommend Chris as a Sales Agent.
Thoughtful, responsive, professional approach to real estate
We recently purchased a house from Pat and her team. Pat was an absolute delight to work with. She knows the area, didn't pressure us, offered advice where appropriate and made the buying process easy.
I would recommend both ladies for any property matters
It has been a pleasure working with Courtney and Kiri from Blackshaw Real Estate for the management of my property. They were patient with all of my queries during the initial setup of the property and have been engaging ever since. Timely responses are received on any queries no matter how big or small. I have been very satisfied with the level of service and support and would recommend both ladies for any property matters.

Matthew helped sell my town house and i couldn't have been happier with the service. Because I'm no longer in Canberra, he organized carpets, paintwork, maintenance and staging. Great effort, went the extra mile, sold the place.
A joy to work with!
From my enquiry about the property to handing over the keys following settlement, Pat was responsive, accommodating and professional, and always warm and friendly.

We were very impressed
Matthew was the most professional, knowledgeable and respectful agent we have dealt with to date. We were very impressed with his understanding of current real estate conditions in our suburb and the Canberra market as a whole. The whole process of selling our property was stress free and efficient because of Matt's expert guidance and help throughout. He was always available to answer questions and be of service. I would highly recommend him as an agent for any type of property.
Honest and professional
Pat demonstrated good knowledge of the real estate market in our area, and helped guide us through the process. She encouraged us to stick to our resolve and we gained good outcome as a result. She always kept us up to date with how things were going, and the work ethic of the team was great with open houses keeping people coming thru. Thanks Pat & Team.
Made my rental experience so easy
My sincere thanks for taking on my rental property under difficult circumstances and making my rental experience with Blackshaw so easy.
Always professional
We wholeheartedly recommend Matt and Esther. Their assistance in the sale of my mother’s home was always professional, responding to our needs at a very stressful time. I believe the transaction was a success for both parties concerned. A sincere thank you to a successful team.
Professional, diligent, goes the extra mile
Pat has impressed us with her professional, hard working, and honest approach in all her interactions with ourselves as well as prospective purchasers. Her thorough communication (and keeping us in the loop) every step of the way enabled us to feel confident that she had all the bases covered. Pat reported on every inspection by email and also kept us informed of what the market was doing with real examples so that we could make educated decisions as to our options. This was especially important to us as we were selling in a buyer's market and we lived in a different state during this sales process. Hence, we needed a trustworthy agent to be our eyes and ears on the ground. We are grateful for Pat's 'over and above' services and wholeheartedly recommend her and her team to all vendors and purchasers.
By far the best tenancy experience we have had
Thank you on behalf of both of us for your understanding and your punctual and straight forward management of our lease. By far the best tenancy experience we have had so far.
Extremely helpful
Matt is a friendly and professional agent. He has good local knowledge of the area in which we purchased. Matt opened the house up to us a number of times prior and post auction which was extremely helpful. We would highly recommend Matt and his team for selling your property and will certainly look to use them and recommend to others for future.
Absolute professional
At a very difficult time for the whole family, it was refreshing to find someone as professional as Pat Jameson and Team Blackshaw. She guided us through the entire process with incredible insight and we could not be happier with the service received. From styling to gardening, she prepared the entire procedure as we watched from a distance with the type of care you could only dream about. Thank you so much, we are so grateful.
If I could give her more stars, I would
To be honest, we've had bad experiences with real estate agents previously and Christine changed our opinion. As a buyer, Christine was honest, open, real, didn't play games, was always available on the phone (even on long weekends) and dealt with us with respect and dignity. What a wonderful woman and agent. Thank you Christine.

We would unreservedly and happily recommend
We were pleased that we chose Matthew Sebbens and his team at Blackshaw Real Estate Belconnen to sell our Evatt house. From the outset, Matthew took the time to get to know us and build a relationship to understand our needs. This was a critical phase as it allowed him to then show how he could help and his proposed way ahead was comprehensive and gave us confidence. Once our home was listed, he and his team worked tirelessly to generate interest and to present the property in its best light. His knowledge of the local area was excellent and as a fellow resident of the suburb, he is passionate about the area. His regular communication was engaging and effective. He prepared us well for the auction and made us feel very involved. We were delighted with the outcome and are grateful for Matthew’s commitment to us throughout the process. We would unreservedly and happily recommend Matthew to others. Great service.
An exceptional real estate agent with an in depth knowledge of real estate
I can't speak highly enough of Pat's attention to detail, her courtesy and care with the buyers and with myself. She's also a very charming person to be with as well. Pat's level of communication with me was of a very high standard, she was always available for questions or advice and took the trouble to come around personally to give me the happy news that a buyer had made an offer on the house. Nothing was too much trouble, she was always charming and friendly and almost always answered my calls on the first or second ring. Her detailed knowledge of the real estate market was of great value. Pat went out of her way to provide detailed answers to buyers and myself on any legal questions that arose. I developed complete trust in Pat from my previous experience with her. It was a very good experience selling my home through somebody who's advice I trust completely. I have already recommended Pat to several friends. I would highly recommend Pat to anybody wanting to have a smooth and comfortable journey in the selling or buying of a home or business. Pat will look after you all the way, and give you a first class experience.

This is the second time we have used Pat for buying and selling our property and would highly recommend her services to anybody thinking of purchasing or selling their home.
Unmatched ability
Having recently both bought and sold a property via Mario, I can attest to Mario's professionalism, skills, and expertise in the ACT real estate market. Mario's vast experience and knowledge of the ACT's inner south market is coupled with a courteous, calm and professional approach to selling your house. His team follows Mario's lead and they all really do work like a well-oiled machine. When faced with the market uncertainty presented by the current global health and economic crisis, Mario's calm demeanor and his determination to get my family a result enabled us to sell our house in a timely manner and remove financial uncertainty from our lives, especially given that we'd bought a house just before the crisis began. Mario has an unmatched ability to connect and match real buyers with vendors and it was this ability that allowed us to find the right seller in difficult selling conditions. Mario went above and beyond his real estate duties to ensure that the sale was closed as quickly as possible and we are grateful for the service he, and his team, provided us. Mario is a true professional.

Went above & beyond in what he did
Professional. Good result considering the tough market with the Covid 19 situation. Quick thinking and organisation for the auction to go ahead with the shutdown. Went above & beyond in what he did, & helpful on many fronts. Have already recommended him to others considering selling.
Knowledgeable & experienced local agent
We selected Pat Jameson to sell our property in Tomakin, because she had been the most successful local agent selling residential properties there over the previous year or so. Pat obviously knew the local market very well and gave us useful advice and guidance throughout the sale process. She always kept us well informed about potential buyers. Unfortunately, because of the fall off in the market caused by nine consecutive Reserve Bank interest rate increases, we were unable to get the price we had for originally. Nevertheless, the final sale price achieved was a satisfactory outcome for us.
A pleasure to deal with
Mario was a pleasure to deal with. He was able to give us guidance on the process, consult us on aspects of the transaction that were causing us any issues, and was able to answer any questions we had.

Life on the Coast, here we come!
Very simply - I can't rate PAT JAMESON highly enough! From the outset, PAT made the whole property purchase process extremely simple and easy. PAT clearly possessed an extensive & "finger on the pulse" knowledge of the Bateman's Bay Area Real Estate Market. PAT took the time to understand our personal/ family/ financial circumstances as potential buyers and was able to successfully match our requirements with those of the vendor. PAT was extremely professional in her approach, communicated regularly with us regarding negotiations with the vendor and ensured that all facets of the sales process went smoothly & seamlessly. Our SEA CHANGE DREAM has finally come to fruition - thanks PAT!

Matthew dealt with a delicate situation (my Aunt having to reluctantly sell her property for health reasons, and then dying early in the process) sensitively and professionally. His dealings with my Aunt (through me as Enduring Power of Attorney, and then as Executor of her Will) were caring and responsive to her (and my) concerns. His market knowledge was excellent and up to date. He proposed an excellent strategy and carried it through despite the changing circumstances. He maintained strong communications with me as Power of Attorney and then Executor of my Aunts Will throughout the process, including during a period of my absence overseas. He was receptive to my requirements and suggestions, and was approachable and professional throughout. He was a pleasure to deal with throughout the process.
Informed and professional
Pat demonstrated and conveyed her professionalism in all her dealings with us. We placed our property for sale and therefore our trust in Pat and never ever had any doubt that she was always working towards achieving the best possible result for us.
He communicated clearly and honestly
From the first meeting we had, I knew that I had been lucky enough to pick the best agent in Canberra. He communicated clearly and honestly with me every step of the way.

People you can rely on!
By the time we were ready to sell our home, we were already living interstate due to a move with work. As a result, after we had prepared our house for viewing, we were unable to maintain it for each open house. Matt was always there early, sweeping and cleaning prior to scheduled open homes and was quick to jump on the phone and give us an update on people who had viewed the property and prognosis going forward after each opening. This was an incredible peace of mind for us in what would have otherwise been a stressful situation. We would highly recommend Matt and Blackshaw Belconnen as people who know their trade and most importantly people you rely on.
Very happy with the extremely professional service
Robert made selling my home a relatively stress free experience. He was very knowledgeable regarding the market and provided practical and pragmatic advice. He advised on getting the home ready for sale and made recommendations on handyman and furniture hire, provided regular updates on the Open Home days and follows up with possible buyers. Fantastic result despite time constraints. Very happy with the extremely professional service.

Jess was always prompt to return calls and maintain close communication channels and I would certainly recommend her for any property dealings.
Absolute champion
Matt, as a person, is very polite and approachable and is also very considerate. As a real estate agent, he is very knowledgeable in his field and has an abundance of energy and enthusiasm. He did not stop working for us and kept us well informed throughout the whole process of the sale of our home. Absolute champion person and will recommend him to others in the future without a doubt. Matt Sebbens is a remarkably enthusiastic and energetic person who did not stop working for us when we decided to sell our home. From the very beginning of the campaign to the very end when we sold, he kept us informed and he stayed true to our instructions. He is very courteous and very knowledgeable and his personality also helped make the whole campaign all the more enjoyable. Our campaign was quite long due to outside forces in the real estate market but Matt did not deviate from his goal nor did his enthusiasm wane either. It was an absolute pleasure having Matt Sebbens participate in the sale of our home.
Knowledgeable, professional, and appreciative
Robert was very knowledgeable, professional, and appreciative of our situation. He was easy to deal with, negotiated easily between potential buyers, and produced a positive outcome for us at auction. We would recommend Robert.

Good communication skills
Bronte was friendly and open during the presentation stage of our property purchase. Once the offer was accepted, she kept in good communication during the inspection processes through to the exchange of contracts. Bronte is open, friendly, enthusiastic, informative, and has good communication ethic. This comment is valid for all the Blackshaw Coastal staff we had dealings with.
He was extremely professional and helpful throughout
Matt has been extremely considerate and helpful through the entire process! He was extremely professional and helpful throughout.

Robert was always helpful and positive, and had a good knowledge of the current market. We appreciated his curtesy in keeping us informed as to the progress. We were impressed with the auction, and Robert's professionalism throughout. We will recommend him to our friends!

Perfect assistance
Bronte recently assisted in our purchase of a local property. Always professional and friendly; nothing was a problem for Bronte. She resolved our several requests for additional information quickly and kept us up-to-date throughout the entire process. Bronte is a great asset to the local real estate industry.
We could not fault the service
Matt was the agent when we bought the property. We were impressed then how Matt went above and beyond in the interests of the seller and we decided that if we were to list our property then, Matt would be the first agent we spoke with. We could not fault the service Matt gave us when selling our property. We were given clear, concise and honest information during the selling process. With our sale, the calibre of both the buyers and Matt made the whole process very pleasant.
Knowledge was great
From organising tradesman, marketing, liaison with lawyer, and negotiation with buyers are all great. Knowledge was great. Not push or hard sell and wanted the best for me.

Exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the sale
Matt and his team took care of EVERYTHING! Every detail was taken care of efficiently, quickly and to a very high standard and resulted in a very quick sale and at a very good price! Matt and his team exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the sale of our property. From organising repairs, painting, gardening, arranging a great stylist and a brilliant photographer and culminating in a very quick sale at a great price, with great communication at every stage along the way. Cannot recommend Matt highly enough. Thanks a million!
Professional, friendly, and communicative
We found our selling experience with Pat to be exemplary. Her attention to questions, application to the task, and comprehensive provision of updates and advice throughout the sale were second-to-none. Selling a property can be stressful. Pat dealt kindly and efficiently with our concerns and applied herself and her team to achieving the outcome we sought. At all times, we felt like our sale was in good hands, from an agent who really knew her trade and who kept us up-to-date on the process in a timely, professional manner.
I appreciate all your help
Luke Revet assisted me during the purchase of my first property. Luke was professional, knowledgeable, and helped me throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to my friends if they were looking into selling or purchasing a property in the future. The thing I most liked about Luke was his honesty about the house I was looking at. He didn't pressure me into buying a particular house but rather assisted me to find the ones which best suited what I was looking for. I am very happy in my new home and this has absolutely nothing to do with the lovely gift box I received upon settlement...(just kidding, it was lovely!). Thanks Luke, I appreciate all your help and will invite you round for a cuppa once I have renovated!

Answered all our queries without obligation
Matt is a very pleasant young man, personable and very obliging, I really appreciate that he did not pester us, but answered all our queries without obligation.
Professional and knowledgeable!
We purchased our home through Pat and found her to be extremely professional and knowledgeable and her level of service to be above and beyond. We would highly recommend her to any future purchasers if they require a great level of service.
Would recommend him to anyone
We asked Matt to provide us with a quote for two properties which we needed to sell over a period of a few months. He gave us an extremely good deal to sell both properties and came up with a game plan to ensure we could get the best price for both. Our first property sold within a couple of days at a price we could only have dreamed of. The second property required much negotiation on behalf of Matt and Michael, we were unsure as to whether or not to take an offer but they assured us and recommended we hold out for the money we all knew the property was worth. In the end it only took a further few days and we got what we wanted. We found Matt to be both extremely personable and professional and would recommend him to anyone wanting to get the best price for their property. Thanks again Matt.
Thorough and detailed
I dealt with Pat on a recent purchase in Batemans Bay. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with, following up on all matters promptly. Highly recommended.
Highly professional and always pleasant
Would recommend Luke to anyone wishing to sell their property. He is highly professional and always pleasant and easy to communicate with. His market knowledge was excellent. He has a wonderful quirky sense of humour that makes revisiting a property for that 2nd viewing a positive friendly experience. He is now our agent of choice.

Excellent, caring agent
Pat J was brilliant in communication and caring in the sale of our property in Sunshine Bay. Pat kept in regular touch, answered any questions (even dumb ones!) and demonstrated a genuine investment in working on our behalf to negotiate the best price for the property. Throughout the entire process, we felt as Pat had taken on the sale of a home, not a house. Highly recommend.
Her efforts exceeded my expectations
Georgina invested a lot of time to ensure she understood my situation and my property. I feel she represented it well, and worked very hard to deliver a good result despite several setbacks outside her control. In fact, it's the way she dealt with the problems that motivates this review and, I suspect, what differentiates a good agent from an average one. Georgina's efforts exceeded my expectations and I'm grateful that her hard work paid off.

I could not have been happier
I recently placed my property for sale on the ACT market and selected Matt Sebbens from Blackshaw Real Estate in Belconnen as my agent. I could not have been happier or more impressed. Matt is extremely professional, efficient and has excellent market and industry knowledge that placed him well above any other agent we spoke with. Matt made my family and I feel very comfortable and provided advice and suggestions that only enhanced the positioning of our property in the market. Matt achieved excellent results in a quick time frame and I would have no hesitation in recommending him or using him again in the future.
Honest and straightforward, always professional, yet caring and understanding
Pat was recommended to me by a friend who has dealt with her for many years. She mentioned her honest approach, and integrity, and I found this to be true. I never doubted Pat's advice on the state of the current market, and felt safe making my own decisions with her support. I would use her again without question, and highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying. Thank you Pat.
Kept us informed
We first contacted Georgina when we had decided to purchase an investment property in the Kingston foreshore area. While there was nothing available with our requirements at the time, she advised that there was an upcoming property that might be of interest. Georgina kept us informed, so that when the property was eventually listed, we were first to be notified and we subsequently arranged an inspection. As a result of our viewing and satisfaction that it perfectly met our needs, an offer was made on the day of inspection and the property was subsequently acquired the same day, after negotiation. Georgina was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process, and without reservation I would recommend her for any property sales transaction.

He did over and above what was expected
We were very impressed with Matt Sebbens, especially his communication and negotiation skills. He gave us excellent advice and went out of his way to iron out every difficulty that cropped up. In our estimation, he did over and above what was expected of him. He's truly one of the best, and we recommend him highly.
Superb communicator
We recently bought a property from Pat on the south coast. From the moment we walked through the door on the first open home to signing contracts for exchange and everything in between, Pat has been amazing. Quick to respond to questions and queries, and always friendly and professional. Never felt pressured, but always felt well informed and supported through the whole process. If/when we sell in the future, we will definitely be giving Pat a call. Thanks again Pat!
Very positive and a pleasure to deal with
Georgina was knowledgeable, very positive and a pleasure to deal with. The result was really excellent in a tough market and we were fully informed the whole way. Georgina just took care of everything, it was all so easy. Thanks!

He ticked all the boxes
Matt was selected by my wife and I from the many agents in our area. Matt ticked all the boxes, he lived locally, his sales and profit for vendor were high, he was accessible any all times. He knew of experienced tradesmen and could give sound advice on everything!
A helping hand
Pat is amazing in the process of buying the property. She was prompt in her communication and searched for answers to all of our questions. The entire experience has been smooth. I highly recommend working with Pat in finding your dream home.
She made the whole experience easy with little stress

You will be very satisfied
Our first contact with Blackshaw occurred when they provided us with a free house appraisal. My husband and I were impressed with their knowledge, and in particular, their awareness of the real estate market in our neighbourhood. When we made the decision to relocate to the United States, Blackshaw was an easy first choice for support and assistance. Matt Sebbens from Blackshaw spent extended time with us going through selling options and answered our many questions. He was busy but we always felt that he made our needs a priority. While selling a house can be challenging and stressful, Matt provided so much support and made the process as easy as possible. It was thrilling to see the house sell earlier than expected and for a price that met our expectations. Overall, I am happy to recommend Blackshaw as a real estate agency. If your experience is even close to ours, you will be very satisfied.
Friendly, efficient and very helpful
We were interested in buying a property that Pat was the agent of. Pat was welcoming and friendly, and provided plenty of local knowledge. Pat helped both vendor and buyer work through the process and was ever helpful in sorting out the smallest of details. We felt that Pat was very much a team player - whilst working for the vendor she was completely aware that the sales process needed all parties to be aligned and worked towards helping achieve that outcome. We never felt that her role or involvement was skewed in favour of the vendor at our expense. I’d be happy to use Pat as my agent or buy from her again in the future and would gladly recommend her.
l would recommend her to any of my friends
Debbie was always able to solve my problems no matter how trivial. Her professional and friendly approach means l would recommend her to any of my friends.

We could not believe how easy the sale of our property was
We could not believe how easy the sale of our property was. Matt assisted us with all aspects of the sale with an unbiased, professional attitude. His advice on all levels was honest and reflected his knowledge of the market. We would definitely contact Matt in the future if we were buying or selling in the Canberra area again.
Professional treatment
Hello Pat. It has been a pleasure to have you working for us. In the past we have used other estate agents, but they did not perform. We expect to move smoothly to relinquish our Batemans Bay home to the buyer.
Experience and intuition
Debbie can be relied on for an accurate assessment of price, largely based on a factual explanation of the suburb's sales, but also backed by years of experience and intuition. She does not overinflate expectations, does not push unnecessary advertising and the like, and explains her sales strategy in simple terms that just make sense. She gives good advice on what to do and what not to do, has contacts for everything and, when offers are made, maintains a calm manner that produces results. She is the reason we should all use real estate agents and not do these things on the cheap, or even worse, by ourselves. On top of all that, she is a very genuine person buyers and sellers warm to. We would not hesitate to recommend her!

Extremely knowledgeable and patient
We used Matt to sell our first home, he was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us as we learned the process. He explained each step along the way and always gave us relevant updates. We received several offers, at a good price, very quickly and couldn't be happier with the service Matt provided.
Very helpful
For the second time, we bought a house through Pat Jameson. On both occasions, Pat listened to our needs and kept communicating to us every step of the process with patience and great courtesy. Pat has extensive experience of the market and her manner is very professional and caring.
We were completely satisfied
Debbie Maddigan was originally referred to us with high recommendations from people we knew who had bought and sold homes through her. We found Debbie lived up to everything we had heard about her. She had a deep knowledge of real estate and in particular, our region in Canberra. Debbie provided the full range of services in selling our home, from advice on appropriate pricing, to tips on presentation, to marketing and communication strategies. She also had access to a range of tradesmen to assist us to be market ready. Debbie effectively managed the whole process for us right through to the sale. We were completely satisfied with the service Debbie and her staff provided and would have no hesitation in highly recommending Debbie and the Blackshaw agency.

Kept us well informed every step of the way
We highly recommend Matt Sebbens to anyone that is looking to sell their property. From our very first meeting, he impressed us with his enthusiasm, knowledge of the market, ability to recognise what our home had to offer prospective buyers and willingness to provide open and honest advice. Matt implemented a highly effective marketing campaign, kept us well informed every step of the way and showed great commitment to achieving the best possible result for us. Thank you Matt, we are grateful for your good work.
Thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable of the market
My sister and I had meetings with three real estate agents in the area and Pat had the most knowledge and kept the meeting professional and caring as our parents home had to be sold. We had a long journey of cleaning and culling but Pat was supportive and worked alongside us to ensure even though the market changed that we were looked after and sold.
I am happy to recommend her
I was impressed with Debbie Maddigan. She knew the Campbell market. She persevered and worked hard despite being faced with an unexpected building issue. I would engage Debbie again and am happy to recommend her.

Never let us down
We found Matt Sebbens to be entirely professional in our dealings and did what he said he would do on each occasion and never let us down. His advice was well considered and we never felt he was just telling us what we might have wanted to hear.
Experienced excellence
Jessica was immediately responsive to my enquiries and facilitated the purchase from the initial contact and viewing through to the ultimate purchase in a warm yet entirely professional way. She responded to all enquiries and followed up necessary details in an extremely timely fashion; her manner instils confidence in the process. I highly recommend her as an agent when choosing to pursue the purchase of property.
Excellent professional service
Excellent professional service and tlc far beyond the call of duty. I always felt that whatever I needed to know, she would be able to help, willingly and cheerfully. She sold the house, which I love and am reluctant to leave, to people who will take care of it and she also sold it for a price above what I expected.

It has been a pleasure to liaise with Matt Sebbens for the purchase of our property. Matt was available around the clock and provided an outstanding service.

Knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly
Jessica was very accommodating and facilitated our purchase professionally. She was easy to communicate with, returning our calls and emails promptly. We found the buying experience and negotiations uncomplicated and trouble free due to Jess's expertise.
She was informative, decisive, and extremely patient
Debbie demonstrated in-depth understanding of the Campbell market which was invaluable to us as we were selling the property on behalf of a family member who lived in the suburb. Debbie was able to assist us getting the property ready and on the market swiftly. She was able to negotiate a sale just as fast. This wasn't an easy process for Debbie as she was dealing with us as an extended family. She was informative, decisive, and extremely patient, which was very much appreciated given the complex circumstances of the sale.

He was phenomenal
It was no coincidence David was able to sell my apartment under the average time on market.

I am more than happy to recommend David as he diligently handled the transaction from start to finish and achieved a fantastic result.

I could not recommend Matt enough! I was very cautious in purchasing after I had some bad experiences with other agencies, however, Matt always welcomed any questions I had and made me feel very comfortable. Matt went above & beyond to ensure the whole process was as smooth as possible while also ensuring that I was kept up-to-date with any updates. He is an absolute asset to the Blackshaw brand and if you are looking to buy or sell, Matt is the man for you!

He stands out!
We can’t recommend Matt Sebbens and the team at Blackshaw Belconnen too highly. Matt has been assisting us for the last five years, off and on, as we looked for a house to downsize to. Having found the right house, we got Matt to sell our current house. Matt made what is by its nature a stressful process as smooth as it could be. More importantly his professionalism and skill meant that our property was presented and marketed very well. This drew a strong group of buyers and resulted in a sale price above our expectations and other results for similar houses in our suburb. Matt stands out for his knowledge, professionalism hard work, customer service and strong sense of integrity.
Positive from start to finish
We recently sold our property with Pat and found the whole experience to be a positive one. Pat's approach was always honest and supportive. We would highly recommend Pat and whole Batemans Bay Blackshaw Coastal team.
Above and beyond
If it wasn’t for David and his ability to go above and beyond with client service, I would not have purchased my property recently in Hughes. David has a people driven, pragmatic approach and proven expertise as an agent who has a strong understanding of the Canberra market. David really represents both the buyer and seller equally and fairly. I would highly recommend buying and selling with David, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for your great service David, you made the process so easy - you’ve got a client for life now!

Honest, professional, communicator, and organised
The most important things that we were looking for in a real estate agent is honesty, a good knowledge of the radically changing market, being able to communicate well to us and respect ourselves and our property. Pat Jameson was engaged as our agent because she exceeds all of these qualities. She gave us an honest down-to-earth appraisal of our property, showing admiration for all the work we had done. She communicated each stage of the process to us, ensuring that we were available for various appointments such as photography, etc. She was also available to us any time of the day, night, weekend. She flagged potential issues that could arise in the current climate. The house went on the market less than a week after photographs and video were edited and was presented excellently by Pat’s marketing team, in consultation with us. 3 to 4 weeks later, we accepted an offer that hit the top end of her valuation target. Pat’s attitude reflects her extensive knowledge of the industry and her confidence in selling houses. Placing our trust in her professionalism and her personal warmth and respect for us was definitely the right decision. We can’t recommend Pat enough, she is an amazing, energetic and honest woman that is passionate about getting excellent solutions for all parties involved. Thank you Pat and the team at Blackshaw!

A very good outcome
Many thanks to Pat Jameson, Principal of Blackshaw Coastal, Batemans Bay. First, an excellent market appraisal. Secondly, Pat had purchasers lined up and was able to effect a quick ‘off-market sale’ saving us the stress and cost of not only a drawn-out marketing campaign with open house inspections but also the cost and stress of an auction. Thirdly, Pat’s assistance extended beyond the exchange of contracts to helping us to negotiate with the purchasers on what furniture and other items they might like to acquire.

Our home was sold in a difficult and rapidly changing market and Jess was on top of all the issues - she is a joy to work with.

Nothing but the best!
The team at Blackshaw Coastal sold our property at Surf Beach, Batemans Bay. My wife and I were super impressed with Jess' attitude, communication, and enthusiasm. We live miles away, so we relied on her integrity to look after our home when we couldn't be there and she did not disappoint. We had a fantastic sale result in a changing market and it was mainly her doing and would recommend her without hesitation.
The best experience
Dealing with Blackshaw Manuka, Courtney Baker has given us the best experience. I've had quick responses and efficient service. I would recommend them to anyone.

Couldn’t be happier with her service
We all know that we can be nervous when dealing with real estate agents and the process that resides with property purchases and sales. I had no such problems with Jess and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. I fully endorse her and Blackshaw Real Estate as a caring and professional Real Estate Agency.
She has made my life so easy

I would like to thank her for her expertise in selling my property
This is the third time I have used Pat Jameson for selling (twice) and buying (once) and every time, Pat has always been a cheerful person and has a positive attitude which makes you feel comfortable in buying or selling your property. Pat always responds quickly in regards to phone calls, texts or e-mails and always keeps you calm at this stressful time.
Professional and efficient
Pat’s professionalism, deep knowledge of the local market and the intricacies of the industry, coupled with excellent communication practices make dealing with the business of real estate as pleasurable as it can be.
Very responsive to any issues
I rent with Blackshaw Manuka and have found them very responsive to any issues. The Property Manager arranged a plumber to sort a leaky tap within hours of being informed. Little things like this keep all parties happy and the property well maintained.

A great result
We are extremely pleased with the way Pat Jameson arranged our recent house sale. Pat is very professional and knowledgeable of the local real estate market and she kept in regular contact with us to inform us of developments in the sale process. At a time when the real estate market appeared to have reached a peak and buyers were perhaps becoming a little jittery, Pat was always confident our house would be sold and that we would achieve the price we wanted - she was on the mark on both counts. We have no hesitation in recommending Pat to anyone thinking of buying or selling a property in the Batemans Bay market.
THE BEST we worked with so far!
Christine Bassingthwaighte (Blackshaw Manuka) was THE BEST we worked with so far! She was very knowledgeable and professional. She was amazing in every way. I witnessed her brilliance, kindness, and patience when she helped us sell our home. She was always there to answer our questions. Our emails were always quickly replied. She put together a comprehensive marketing analysis & plan and provided sound advice throughout the process including some renovation to the house. We sold our home within the timeframe as we expected and got multiple offers! I wouldn't hesitate to use her 5 star services again.

Highly recommended
I cannot recommend Pat and the entire Blackshaw Coastal team enough. Pat always kept me informed at every stage of the process. If we had questions, Pat would always answer them promptly with honest feedback. Pat has thorough knowledge of the area and local market and worked relentlessly to contact prospective buyers and expose the property to the widest possible market.
Communication and customer service were outstanding
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience dealing with Blackshaw Manuka and in particular my dealings with real estate agent Christine Bassingthwaighte. Communication and customer service were outstanding. I found Christine very approachable, full of knowledge with the sort of real and no BS personality that made my dealings with her so much less daunting. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I found myself thinking how refreshing it was to be dealing with an agent who had such class and really made me feel like she had the best interests of not only the owner of the house she was representing but me as the customer as well. I would be more than happy to deal with Blackshaw Manuka again in the future. Thanks for everything.

Outstanding service, the best in the business!
Pat and her team were professional, helpful and gave personal attention to every detail of the sale process. My late father said "Pat is the best in the business" and he was right! Thank you for your honesty and your knowledge of the area. The last few months has been hard losing Dad, but you made the process of selling his home seamless. I appreciate everything you have done for me. Wishing you all the best.
Incredibly friendly, helpful, and prompt
I've had the pleasure of dealing with Courtney Baker from Blackshaw Manuka. She had been incredibly friendly, helpful, and prompt in every step of our leasing process. The entire experience has felt professional, simple and relaxed. I couldn't recommend her more!

Thankyou for your professionalism and commitment to the work you do. Any concern, issue, or question was readily resolved. Your follow up re text/call was punctual and respectful.

Your staff were also very friendly and helpful and a credit to the work you do.
Smooth and professional
Sold in 5 days. Smooth and professional. Mario knows the Yarralumla market like no other. He worked with us to find the right buyer for our historic little cottage in just 5 days from listing, delivering a great outcome for both parties. Mario worked the phone to ensure the best value proposition for both vendor and buyer.

Pat is very aware of the current market fluctuations. Her contacts were very reliable and professional, tasks such as window cleaning were carried out efficiently and well and were reasonably priced.

Mario was professional, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. From our first meeting until the house was sold on auction day, Mario worked tirelessly to market our house and communicated with us daily. We have now asked him to find something for us to buy. I would recommend Mario to anyone selling or buying a house, particularly in the inner south. Thank you Mario.

Amazing agent
So professional, caring, understanding and helpful with the sale of our elderly parent's home. Went above and beyond actually.
Sector knowledge and excellent customer service
Georgina provides excellent customer service, is knowledgeable and responsive. If you are thinking of buying or selling, I can highly recommend Georgina for her sector knowledge and excellent customer service. We met Georgina in August 2019 when viewing an apartment in Kingston Foreshore. Our purchasing journey was lengthy, with lots of roadblocks and I'm sure I lost my cool sometimes. Throughout the journey from the first viewing to finally purchasing this apartment in March 2020, Georgina was level headed, professional, always enthusiastic and always prepared to go that extra mile. Towards the end of our journey, when solicitors couldn't come to an agreement, it was Georgina who played a vital role in keeping all parties on task and accountable. Georgina quietly influenced parties in the background, patiently and never pushy, always providing reassurance in a courteous and friendly manner. Thank you Georgina, for your outstanding service!

Purchase in Batemans Bay
Jessica has been helpful through the whole process and kept me up to date with progress. She was also able to recommend a local solicitor/ conveyancer.
Fantastic agent
Jess provided very good advice and answers to our questions. She was very available, responsive and understanding. She made it feel like it was no trouble to talk with us even when I know she was working hard fielding multiple calls and accommodating buyers' preferences across multiple properties. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her, for both us (the vendor) and the purchaser. I am sure this means she was working extremely hard behind the scenes to provide such a fantastic customer service and result. With Jess, you are in safe and capable hands. I highly recommend her as an agent.

Professional, always available, and results driven
We chose Pat based on her reputation and it was the right decision. Pat is a calm, knowledgeable agent who worked hard for us in a transitional market.

Her professionalism was outstanding, and she did it all in a calm and capable manner. Pat made a cumbersome process so easy.
Great team
Great teamwork from Blackshaw Real Estate. It seems that regardless of the listing agent, the team at Blackshaw work incredibly well together to ensure a great outcome for both the vendor and purchaser alike. Our purchase was handled by both Pat & Jessica, and at no time did we feel like we were playing second fiddle to the vendors. Communication was never lacking and it was always friendly, prompt, and professional. Would be more than happy to either sell or purchase with Blackshaw.
Our experience with her was excellent
Pat's marketing communication was very professional. Pat gave us a quote we didn't think we would get but Pat assured us we would. It went on the market and 24hrs later it was sold for the market price, we were surprised. We would recommend Pat to anyone planning to sell their homes.
Very professional and courteous
Pat was very knowledgeable and knew the marketplace very well. She always gave us plenty of notice if a potential buyer was coming through our house to view it. Pat always rang us after a viewing and gave us positive feedback, and continued to follow up potential buyers. She negotiated a great price for our property and always kept us informed. I would highly recommend her as an agent.
Efficient, friendly, easy
Pat made for a very smooth sale experience. Nothing was hard work for us and she made sure to accommodate anything we needed, including taking special care of our tenants who were living in the property. Pat sold our property within 24 hours of it being listed!
Highly recommended
We highly recommend Pat Jameson of Blackshaw Real Estate, Batemans Bay. If you are looking to sell or purchase in the Batemans Bay Area, Pat is definitely the person you would want looking after you. She is very personable, professional and at the same time has your best interests at heart. We have just purchased a property at Malua Bay through Pat and her agency and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided.
Excellent interpersonal skills and knowledge
Pat has a deep knowledge of the local property market and knew in great detail the specifics of the house we bought. Pat was a pleasure to deal with and was highly responsive. We highly recommend her services.
Honest, reliable, and very approachable
Pat sold our house in 48 hours. She kept us informed all the way through. Her professional manner is impeccable. I have not got a bad word to say about her, she is a lovely lady that knows all about property. The best thing is she tells you the truth and that is very rare in her profession. Pat goes beyond her call of duty and gives everything to get he best result for her clients.
An absolute pleasure to deal with
Pat did a fantastic job in identifying a delightful property that matched our needs, bent over backwards to allow us to inspect it at a time that suited us and throughout the process has gone the extra mile to respond to all of our queries and facilitate the exchange. She has been extremely responsive and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Could not ask for a more professional and knowledgeable person than Pat. She made the sale of our property less stressful by her commitment to achieving the very best result for all concerned. Would not hesitate in recommending Pat and her team for anyone who is thinking of using an agent.
The most delightful, honest, and reliable agent we have dealt with
We have bought and sold many properties in this area and we both agree that Pat is the only agent that we have found to be upfront, honest, and sincere about her work, and it's been such a pleasure to deal with her. There is no problem too big; Pat will endure to answer it for you. Her professional attitude is impeccable. I would recommend Pat to anyone wanting to sell or buy. They won't be disappointed.

Pat provided all the information we needed as a buyer in a prompt and courteous manner. She allowed us plenty of opportunity to review the property.
A pleasant experience
Communication with Pat was outstanding! We also felt that she had a great understanding of property prices in a market that is changing rapidly. Pat understood what we were looking for and found us a property promptly, and we could not be happier. Thanks Pat.
Excellent experience selling our Coastal property
We appointed Pat based on her extensive experience selling blue ribbon properties, both on the NSW South Coast and further afield. Pat was professional at every turn, with punctual appointments, knowledgeable advice, and communicating regularly through timely updates during the selling campaign - highly valued given we were overseas at some stages of the process and needed to be kept updated. Pat's rich knowledge of premium properties and the broader property market enabled her to discretely offer an invaluable connection with a pool of potential buyers for our property. As a couple who have bought and sold many properties, we can genuinely say that our experience selling our property through Pat was one of mutual trust and respect, professionally executed, and it was simply a delight to sell through her.
Knowledgeable and very professional
We found Anna to be honest, professional, and knowledgeable of the local area. She has a bubbly, down to earth personality which makes her very likeable and easy to get along with. Buying our new home was a very positive and seem less experience with Anna and the team at Blackshaw. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone wanting to buy or sell their property.
Thoughtful, committed, and perceptive assistance
Anna took the time and effort to tune into what was important to us in a new home. She seemed more interested in meeting our needs and goals than in making a sale for it's own sake. We found her ethical, highly trustworthy and delightful to engage with in every part of the process. We would and have already recommended her to friends and family.
Professional
Pat was perfect for us, as vendors, to have as our agent. Knowledgeable and experienced with great communication skills, she made the whole sale process both smooth and successful.
Experienced and knowledgeable
Our recent purchase in Tomakin was effectively and efficiently managed by Pat and has given us every confidence in the soundness of our purchase. Pat has an easy and likeable approach and manner and is clearly a very experienced agent who instills confidence and trust.
Excellent service
Pat delivered everything she said she could do. She was able to sell our land for more than other real estates had said they could sell for. The sale was very quick with surprising result, and done very professionally. I would recommend Blackshaw Coastal to anyone who is looking at selling.
At all times helpful and encouraging
Pat was not only helpful but explained to us, all the ups and downs of selling. She kept in touch with us explaining what was happening, she went beyond what we expected to help us understand the sale, and what people were saying, getting us a good sale under extremely difficult times with Covid and so many places closed to viewing. I would recommend Pat Jameson for any sale, and have already done so.
You can trust her integrity
Pat is an excellent communicator and takes her professional approach to the next level every time. We have been impressed and grateful for her advice and the seamless operation of her support team. We have been buyers and sellers with Pat and can recommend her highly.
Super impressed
My wife and I recently bought a property from a vendor represented by Pat. Pat has been very responsive and has been great to deal with. We have been super impressed by Pat’s genuine nature and overall professionalism.
Found our dream home
Dear Jessica, thank you so much for all of your help! We are so grateful for all of the hard work you've done to not only help us sell our home, but to find our dream home as well. We are endlessly grateful to have you as our agent and couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out.

Extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient person
Jessica knows what is going on and with her help, the property was sold at next to no time. She made us feel very comfortable in what could have been a stressful time as sellers.
Professional and honest
I want to thank Pat for assisting me with the recent sale of my property. Her honest and professional manner made the whole process easier than expected as well as achieving a successful result. I highly recommend Pat and her team for all your real estate needs.
Very professional
As usual, Jessica has acted in a very professional manner during this sale. The process was very slow due to things out of Jessica's control, however, she has seen it through to the end communicating with me and my buyer during the process. I think Jessica has done a great job for me again and would recommend her as an agent.
Outstanding!
Anna brings the flair and professionalism of her Sydney sales experience to the South Coast. The consummate professional and a friendly approachable lady to boot! Our experience and result far outweighed our expectations! Thank you!
Excellent service and fantastic result
Not only is Pat a wonderful agent, she is also kind and compassionate. I found the whole team at Blackshaw wonderful to deal with. A special shout out to Jess and Anna, you wonderful ladies also went above and beyond. Anna, thank you for all your help as well, especially with the extra running around you did for us. Having dealt with Pat in the past, I felt it was a no brainer to get her and her team to sell my place. Cannot thank nor rate this whole team high enough. They were all fantastic to deal with. Thank you.
A thorough professional
Pat is a thorough professional with the highest integrity. Pat truly understands the south coast market and works tirelessly to match vendor to buyer. I would recommend Pat to anyone looking to buy or sell on the South Coast without hesitation.
