Five Stars

Barbara provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. She listened carefully to our requirements and, with her outstanding market knowledge, found us a property that had not yet reached the market. Her exceptional standard of customer service exceeded all our expectations.

Barbara is truly the standout agent we have had the pleasure of working with. Her personal touch, professionalism, and dedication made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend Barbara.

No hesitation in recommending Caroline

Caroline is one of the best agents I have ever come across. She responded to every query I had in a timely manner...no over the top sales pitch but straight to facts. Although she was engaged by the vendor I felt she was all about a win/win deal. She assisted my family in getting our dream holiday villa in Port Douglas.If I ever need an agent in Qld, she will be the first person I call. Thank you so much Caroline...you are the best of the best!!!

 
Caroline never wavered in her positive approach

Caroline’s market knowledge was excellent. She was highly professional and responsive. Her attention to detail was outstanding.

 
Tenacity, determination, attention to detail!

In the real estate industry, there are many agents who are nothing more than ‘order takers”. Fortunately for us, we commissioned Caroline Yarr to sell our property. We believe the hard working professionalism Caroline displayed was the reason we were able to very successfully sell our property in such a short space of time. When next we need the services of an agent, we would not hesitate to, once again, retain Caroline because she really does put in 100% effort. She is very enthusiastic.

 
Trustworthy and Honest

Caroline was terrific to work with. Her transparency and honesty was refreshing and made doing the deal as stress free as possible. She was extremely responsive and worked hard to get the best price for the vendor but be very fair and honest to us in the process. I would be very happy to deal with Caroline again and would gladly list our property with her in the future.

 
Successful

Barbara was attentive, knowledgeable and polite. She moved quickly to secure our next property in an aggressive market. Nothing was too much trouble for her which made the process easier for us. We will go to Barbara again in the future.

Highly Professional Agent

The first person who walked through our house with Barbara Wolveridge bought it. We couldn’t have asked for a better result from any agent. Barbara has the knack of knowing which property will suit a potential buyer. She knows the Port Douglas and surrounds market better than anyone and has a wide network of clients. She gave us sensible advice on presenting our house for sale and throughout the negotiation process. Selling a house can be a stressful business. Barbara was a calming influence and took much of the stress out of the experience thanks to her positive personality. Satisfaction rate 100%.

Barbara is an Excellent Sales lady

Selling our house with Barbara was a breeze. She vetted potential buyers extremely well and achieved the selling price we were after. Always professional, punctual and proactive, she guided us through the process of selling using her vast knowledge of the market. Her networking skills are outstanding! Barbara was the right person to get the job done and she delivered.

Best Seller

If you are looking to sell your house, I can definitely recommend Barbara Wolveridge. After recently selling our property in Port Douglas prior to auction date I can say that her dedication and commitment was outstanding. I would choose her again.

ATTENTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL

My Husband and I were in Port Douglas on holiday with friends, we had only visited Port Douglas 30 years prior and a lot had changed from then. We walked past a house for sale which grabbed our interest and we called Barbara on the off chance we could have an inspection with no real intention of purchasing but rather to get a feel of the market. Barbara was extremely obliging and attentive, she opened the house up with a moment’s notice and was very forthcoming, answering all our enquires promptly and providing projections and costings and showing us other properties for comparison. We bought the house 48 hours later, thanks to Barbara making herself available, promptly contacting the vendors and negotiating a deal.We found Barbara to be highly efficient in contract negotiations, she came to an agreement which was a fair outcome for ourselves and the vendor. Barbara also went above and beyond the purchase of the house. She assisted us with recommendations for solicitors and insurance agents. We are pleased to recommend Barbara Wolveridge to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
