The Standevens

"Selling or buying a house is one of the biggest investments many people will make in their lives, so finding the right real estate agent can be a tough decision. The fact that we have used the Standevens to buy one house and sell two houses serves as the ultimate testament to our confidence that they are the absolute best in the business, and our positive experience has meant in our most recent house sale we did not even talk to any other agents. We knew who we trusted, we knew who we wanted to work with, and we knew that they would deliver the best possible result. With absolute pleasure, we recommend the Standevens for anyone that wants a Real Estate Team that you can trust will go the extra mile to deliver the best possible result with the least amount of stress."

"Paula and Simon came highly recommended and have exceeded expectations with their efficiency, professionalism and commitment to the sales process. They kept us updated and informed during the marketing campaign, nothing was a problem. Their warm genial approach delivered a result both parties were very satisfied with."

"After choosing the Standevens to sell our family home we couldn't be more happy with the outcome. They are a fantastic team and kept us well informed throughout the selling process. We really valued their honesty and the hard work they put into marketing and selling our home. Simon and Paula genuinely care about their clients and the community they live in."

“We entrusted Simon and Paula to sell our home at 113 Randolph Street following our interactions with them purchasing a property at auction three months prior. Having now been on both sides of the Real Estate fence with the Standevens, we have nothing but praise for their professionalism, work ethic and subsequent results. Simon and Paula's experience in real estate shone through during our deadline sale and their guidance around marketing saw an unbelievable amount of interest generated, culminating in 30 offers being presented and a sale price that well surpassed all expectations we had. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend Team Standeven.”

“Simon, Paula and their assistant were a dream to work with on the sale of our house. They provided the exact services they proposed on time and efficiently, as outlined in their marketing calendar. We were simply able to "leave it in their hands" for the three weeks leading up to our deadline sale. Throughout the campaign, they provided us with feedback from the viewers. At the offer presentation, they were very informative. We could not ask for a more professional team and highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling.”

“We had a terrific experience working with the Standeven team. They were professional, knowledgeable, had great suggestions, and truly went the extra mile to get the house sold. The house was also beautifully staged. We highly recommend them!”

“Our family contracted the Standevens in November 2019 to sell the house of our late uncle and aunt at 11 Hardwick Street, Sumner. We have been very happy indeed with the service provided to us by Paula and Simon, which culminated in the sale of the property at auction on 12 December 2019 for a sum that exceeded our expectations. As a deceased estate, we made the decision at short notice in early November to sell the Hardwick Street property before Christmas 2019. From a list of potential agents, we selected the Standevens because of their clear professionalism and strong reputation. In less than four weeks Paula and Simon were able to market the property effectively. Through well targeted advertising and client development they ensured there were several genuine bidders at the auction, and this led to an outstanding result on the day. Throughout the process we received excellent communication from the Standevens and felt well informed despite living in a different city. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Standevens to anyone considering selling a property in the area and would be delighted to use their services again.”

"What a blast the auction was! Wow! About 15 wonderful new-found friends and neighbours gathering around us and genuinely wanting the sale of the home to go to us and genuinely wanting us there; it was SO heart-warming and so humbling.... The price was more than we intended but we don’t feel cheated at all. We feel everyone won, which is just as we wanted it to be. So, we now have this beautiful wee home at Clifton that spoke to me as soon as I saw it... Thanks very much for your help and for encouraging us along the way. We look forward to having you over for a drink after we move in."

"We would highly recommend Paula and Simon. Their market experience, knowledge and contacts are first rate. Nothing was ever too much trouble and their suggestions and help ensured our house was presented at its very best. This, combined with their professionalism and hard work, resulted in us achieving an excellent sale price on auction day which was at the very top of the expected sale price range they gave us. We very much appreciate their honesty and integrity in giving us a realistic, rather than an over inflated, sell price. If the opportunity ever arose, we would not hesitate in engaging the Standevens again."

“Thank you so much for being such an awesome team. Right from the time we first contacted Paula and Simon we were made to feel that what was important to us was important to them also. We were kept very well informed and their level of knowledge and expertise was very much appreciated. Paula and Simon are the ultimate professionals and together with their PA, they delivered a fantastic service full of enthusiasm, warmth, good communication and a had amazing work ethic. This reflected in how quickly the house sold and the price we received for our house was wonderful! The fact that we had 7 offers to choose from was simply amazing! Thank you so much. You have made me one very happy wife and my husband one relieved man. What a team!”

“Paula and Simon Standeven recently sold our Mt Pleasant home. The whole process was relaxed and professional. What we valued most was the honesty and communication provided by the Standevens. Right from the start they were open and transparent, and we felt that we could trust them completely with our most valued asset. They worked hard with a variety of open home days/times, provided regular feedback, knew the Mt Pleasant area well and most importantly sold our home for a fair market price. We highly recommend them to anyone selling and would not hesitate to use them again.”

“Thank you very much for your help with selling our special showhome! Despite not being our actual home, it was our pride and joy so getting the right price and exposure was very important to us and our business. We were most impressed with your approach to digital marketing, video and online presence that you achieve through RayWhite and other websites. A special thanks to your PA for keeping us in the look with the reports. They were timely and easy to follow. Jamie and I are most impressed with your professional approach and attention to detail. Unlike many other experiences we had buying or selling, this one tops them all. You have made it a positive and fulfilling process for us.”

“I have always used the local Ray White office for my home and rental property divestments. Recently, I engaged Simon and Paula Standeven of Ray White Ferrymead for the auction of my home in Moncks Bay, comprising a large house on a very large, unique section with the challenge of being sold in an ‘as is’ condition. I found Simon and Paula to be very knowledgeable, professional and attentive in their dealings with myself and prospective purchasers. In particular, this extended to their Ray White support team and resources. I firmly believe the team contributed to what was the best outcome achieved for this property, which sold quickly at auction. I have no hesitation in recommending the team to others.”
