It was lovely to work with D’Leanne, she is a true professional and is very good at what she does. I have experienced 3 transactions with her and all have been smooth and good experiences.
We recently sold our house in Bellevue Hill, and D’Leanne Lewis and her team were with us every step of the way. From the outset, they provided valuable advice on pricing and options, and expertly guided us through the marketing and presentation process. It quickly became clear that D’Leanne not only knew the market but, more importantly, understood the dynamics at play in our price range. Within just a few weeks, the house was sold before going to auction, and we felt confident making informed decisions based on the insights D’Leanne provided. She continued to support us through to settlement, ensuring a smooth completion of the sale. I highly recommend D’Leanne Lewis to anyone looking to work with someone who truly understands market dynamics, offers objective advice, and operates transparently and collaboratively to achieve the best possible result.
D’Leanne is an exceptional real estate agent. The communication was clear, I always felt informed. She works incredibly hard and thinks carefully about her craft. Our architect, Bruce Stafford, said nobody else in the real estate business goes into the detail that D’Leanne does when she is selling a property (she spent hours there learning every aspect of the plans). To anyone considering retaining D’Leanne, I absolutely recommend her and you will see the professionalism in the result. She’s fantastic.
We would like to thank the team at Laing and Simmons Double Bay for surpassing our expectations on the sale price of our property. The decision to go with D’Leanne Lewis and John Kapos was unanimous from the beginning and we listened to their expert advice on how to proceed with the sale of the property and took on all of their suggestions . Throughout the campaign we were updated on the number of groups at each scheduled viewing and feedback . They also set up a family chat where any of our questions or concerns were addressed instantly. We were very impressed by John’s willingness to show the property at unscheduled times to any prospective buyer. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending D’leanne, John and the team of LSDB, Sally from Canvas and Jake from Colley Auctions to anyone
D’Leanne came recommended to us, when we mentioned we wanted to put our family home in Bellevue Hill, on the market this past month. I have to say, it was the right choice. D’Leanne and her team, made the entire process as pain free as possible. She gave us the right advice on what the market will pay for our home, how best to present our home during the weekly inspections and she continued with insights to what the market was saying, throughout the entire campaign period. She is no bullshit, straight talker and always has your back as a vendor. This is exactly what you want from your agent. I can’t recommend her enough. Oh and she got us a street record sale for our home. So we are delighted about that as well.
I am writing this testimonial to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional service you provided as our real estate agent. Your professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process were truly outstanding. From the very beginning, you demonstrated a thorough understanding of the real estate market and a keen eye for detail. Your knowledge of the local area, combined with your extensive experience, allowed us to set a competitive and realistic asking price for our property. Your guidance and advice on staging and presenting our home were invaluable. What truly set you apart was your genuine care and empathy. Selling a home can be an emotional process, and you showed great sensitivity and understanding throughout. Thank you, D'Leanne and Ann, for your exceptional service. We are incredibly grateful for your hard work, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to excellence, and we wish you continued success in all your future endeavours.
When I first met D’Leanne Lewis to discuss the sale of our Apartment I knew she would get us the result we wanted. D’Leanne is professional, friendly, honest and a pleasure to work with. D’Leanne kept me informed throughout the campaign with real time feedback and was always transparent with her thoughts on potential buyers and ways she felt we could switch things up to get the result we wanted. Our APT ended up selling prior to Auction which is testament to D’Leanne’s hard work and dedication. I would not hesitate in working with D’Leanne again and highly recommend her to anybody looking for an agent - Simply the best!!!! Thank you D’Leanne
D’leanne is a Superwoman in great heels. Hardworking and professional, Honest and transparent in a cloudy sea. An absolute please to work with. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again and again.
D'Leanne I have no words to describe how grateful I am to you. You have been working your magic throughout the entire process, with such a positive and underlying grace. You have been a delight to deal with in every way. Your professionalism is second to none and you are the hardest working, brillant real estate agent in the business. Thank you for always having our best interests at heart from beginning to end. Real and down to earth, you sell homes, dreams and freedom. Thank you for signing your light on our home!
Trust and integrity are very important in all professional relationships, and we feel that D’Leanne and her team brought these 100% to the recent sale of our apartment. We bought our apartment from D’Leanne 18 years ago, and we were so impressed by her enthusiasm, professionalism & “can do” attitude then, she left an indelible impression on us. We had no hesitation in deciding to contract her again to sell our apartment; we approached no other agent. D’Leanne and her team are results driven professionals and worked tireless to find a buy for our somewhat “unique” apartment in the current market. No request is too small, too hard… they handled all our requests promptly and diligently. Although we were faced with a difficult property market, the marketing campaign, D’Leanne’s experience, her tactical advice on pricing and negotiating skills resulted in a successful conclusion. We are working with D’Leanne and the team again on our next sale and would definitely continue to work with D’Leanne in the future with any property sale (or purchase). Please extend our appreciation to your co-agent Jacob Hannon and the ever-pleasant & hardworking assistant Ann Hoang who at all times provided prompt responses to any query. Thank you again.
D’leanne is a class act. She stood out from the other agents we interviewed with her calm sensible nature. In our discussions she considered details others glossed over, in the end, it was the detail that she put into every aspect of the sale process that got us a phenomenal price, exceeding our expectations. I am so impressed by the D’leanne and her team. She preempts everything, you don’t have to worry because everything is taken care of. Ultimately, what I thought was going to be a stressful process ended being a delightful journey. I recommend D’leanne to anyone who will listen, I have become her number one fan! Feel free to edit as needed. Many thanks, Micaela.
Dear D’leanne, Ann and Don, D’leanne and her team were top class from the beginning right through to settlement. I particularly appreciated D’leanne’s integrity and her promise not to push us into a rushed sale just to make the sale and move on. She was willing to take as long as needed to get the best price. They took care of minor repairs, styling etc to present the place immaculately whilst being cost-conscious to keep to our budget. She was there in person for every inspection. The team’s communication was punctual and clear. Ultimately she and her team worked until 10pm on the night of the sale to lock in the best price. I’m quite confident they achieved a better sale price than what the other agents in the Bronte area would have attained. Ann and Don were also professional, competent and brilliant in going above and beyond and being available 24/7 to support the process and resolve issues promptly. The whole team was brilliant so I would definitely recommend them to anyone selling in the east. Kind regards, James
I am writing this testimonial to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for the outstanding service provided by D'Leanne Lewis as our real estate agent. Throughout the entire process of selling our family home at 4 Parsley rd, D’Leanne demonstrated unwavering dedication, exceptional professionalism, and an unparalleled level of care. From the moment we enlisted D'Leanne's services, it was evident that we had made an excellent choice. She approached the task at hand with an impressive work ethic, always going above and beyond to ensure a successful sale. Her commitment was truly remarkable, and her tireless efforts did not go unnoticed. What stood out the most was D'Leanne's remarkable sensitivity towards the emotional aspect of selling our family home. She understood the significance of this decision for us and handled the process with utmost compassion and respect. D'Leanne created a supportive and reassuring atmosphere, providing guidance every step of the way while acknowledging the unique challenges we faced. Her empathetic nature truly made a difference during what could have been an overwhelming experience. Throughout the sale, D'Leanne demonstrated her deep knowledge and expertise in the real estate industry. She possessed a keen understanding of the local market, enabling her to develop a strategic and tailored approach for our property. Her insightful advice and guidance were instrumental in attracting potential buyers and maximizing the value of our home. We always felt confident in D'Leanne's abilities and trusted her judgment implicitly. Moreover, D'Leanne's exceptional communication skills ensured that we were consistently informed and involved in the selling process. She kept us updated regularly, promptly addressing any concerns or questions we had. Her transparency and clear explanations were invaluable, fostering a strong sense of trust and transparency throughout the entire journey. D'Leanne embodies the qualities of an exceptional real estate agent. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for her clients set her apart from the rest. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding service she provided, and it is without hesitation that we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a real estate agent. Thank you, D'Leanne, for making what could have been a daunting experience a seamless and positive one. Your hard work, commitment, and compassion will forever be appreciated. We wish you continued success in your career and are grateful to have had the privilege of working with you. Warmest regards, Jackie Vidor & Phil Staub
D’Leanne was recommended to me by two friends whose houses she had sold. Straight from the very beginning, she has been helpful, good humoured, realistic and at all times available for calls or emails. She and the team who support her, are like a band of experienced curators who work together to create the best outcome for every client. She has an incredible work ethic, and is a fabulous negotiator. She is sensitive to her clients’ feelings and understands that it can be a stressful time for all concerned. D’Leanne, through diligence and years of experience, managed to secure a great outcome for me and my family, and I would be more than happy to recommend her and her incredible team to anyone.
Dear d’Leanne, I am writing to thank you for your enthusiasm, expertise, untiring work, persistence and regular feedback after each open house visit to my townhouse. In today’s uncertain market, subject to many different pressures both financial and political affecting property conditions, it is a tremendous achievement that you have correctly read the market and proved that you could achieve the outcome you predicted at the outset, to the satisfaction of both parties, for this unique location. Your publicity and photos showed good taste and provided accurate and relevant information to interested parties. I think a just result was obtained and in no small part due to your considerable advice and knowledge of the market. Please also pass on my appreciation to your assistants, Jacob and Ann, and all your other colleagues who supported you in this superb outcome. You are a very effective team.
What a team! D'Leanne and Ching Ching were an absolute delight to work with in selling my apartment. It was a reluctant sale as Sydney has always been my home but as I am now living the dream on the Gold Coast my apartment has become redundant. We only communicated via email and phone but I felt at no disadvantage in not meeting them. Their communications were regular, informative as well as being advisory. They organised the prepping of the apartment including styling and the marketing was spot on. Although the market has dipped I am pleased with the result and even more pleased that a lady who has purchased the property will fit in nicely with the other owners. There are only a few apartments and we are like an extended family. A bonus is that D'Leanne feels like a new girlfriend. I have also used their property management team for the past six years and can't speak highly enough of their efficiency and professionalism. Laing and Simmons Double Bay is really an excellent one-stop-shop for real estate dealings.
What D’Leanne achieved in our recent sale price, when you consider the context of this uncertain economic climate of rising interest rates, what she delivered was truly remarkable. She was able to achieve a price for us that is consistent with estimates of its value before the recent barrage of interest rate rises by the Reserve Bank. In the interim period, after D’Leanne provided us with her initial valuation of our property, prices had dramatically fallen across our area due to persistent interest rate hikes and a worrying economic forecast, yet D’Leanne achieved a terrific sale price for our property without any evidence of a fall in its value. She understands market forces and also the aspirations of local vendors. She works so diligently on behalf of vendors, which we were able to observe at close range. She takes a lot of pressure and stress out of the process of selling. We felt like she always had our back. When she evaluated the value of your home, she came well prepared with much supporting documentation and sales history across the area over the last couple of years. She does not evaluate your property by picking numbers out of the air in order to get you signed up. She brings with her clear evidence of sales history across your local area and evaluates your property against those that have sold more recently. Her regular updates and ongoing communication throughout the selling campaign was extraordinary. Sometimes we were far away from our property during the inspections and when I became aware it was getting close to the end of an opening, I would alert my husband that D’Leanne was likely to call in after the close of inspection. I was spot on every time. Within minutes of closing an inspection she would call and report the kind of interest she had had and any feedback. It was like clockwork. When we were halfway into the campaign, after 4 inspections, she collated a list of who had visited, how many had asked for contracts or strata reports and feedback from prospective buyers. We felt confident in her stewardship as she always kept us in the loop. We believe her service on behalf of vendors is second to none. She is always accessible, answers any queries swiftly, and for us she delivered an outcome above expectation. She does all this with heaps of good spirit and you can tell she loves what she does. She is attentive to vendors needs and is always considerate and respectful of both vendors and buyers. D’Leanne’s team is exemplary. Every one of them. It’s a team of individuals who are easy to engage with. Ann, who is D’Leanne’s PA was so helpful and nothing was a bother to her. I told D’Leanne if she did not watch out I would steal Ann from her. Jacob, who opened up for the inspections and Holly who assisted, were both punctual, and very professional. We liked their responsiveness but also their smiles. This made us feel like we were part of the team for the duration of the campaign. We sincerely wish to thank each member of the team.
Ray and I are so very pleased you were able to sell our property, especially in these uncertain market conditions. We have written the following testimonial, which we are happy for you to use: We have no doubt we made the right decision selecting D’Leanne Lewis as our estate agent. D’Leanne is impressive, both professionally and personally, having a very strong work ethic, is a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm, and everytime brought these attributes to successfully selling our home. D’Leanne was very good at assessing the value of our home and reading the market. She, and her highly competent support team - thank you Ching Ching and Ann - brought local and international parties into the mix of interested buyers and she was always available to us and them - private viewings, FaceTime inspections, etc. In particularly difficult market conditions D’Leanne set an effective marketing strategy and achieved a good result for us. We have no hesitation in strongly recommending D’Leanne to interested vendors.
Not sure about this as I still feel bruised, violated and battered from selling my home of 19 years. Selling is not for the faint hearted and leaves one feeling very unsettled and insecure with all the countless inspections and having strangers inspect your home! Having said that D'Leanne Lewis' calm demeanour, reassuring presence and relentless up to date communication comforted me and banished any feelings of doubt that I felt. Through her constant reassurances, helpful updates, and more than a little humour thrown in, she "brought it home". She brought the perfect ingredients to making sure that the sale happened – and before auction as well. I actually miss her (but don't tell her that)!!
Working with estate agents has the potential to be an unpleasant experience, however dealing with D’Leanne is in fact the exact opposite… a pleasurable experience. We first bought a property from D’Leanne & our whole involvement was positive & enjoyable. We already had another agent showing our house ‘off market’ prior to our purchase through D’Leanne, however we were sufficiently impressed with the way our purchase was handled by D’Leanne that we agreed to allow her to also show our home, initially ‘off market’ as we wanted to be private about the sale. It soon became evident that D’Leanne was the superior agent, she introduced new people from her data base, qualified the potential buyers & rightly convinced us to proceed to a full marketing campaign. She provided sound & considered advice around the timing, whilst she & her team were very helpful with the marketing, photography & copy. She managed the whole process leading up to the first scheduled opening whilst I was away overseas, the overseas time difference posed no problem for D’Leanne, she connected at times that suited me & was literally available 24/7, finally a sale was concluded the day before the first opening, 2 days after I returned to Australia. D’Leanne is professional, transparent & her work ethic goes above & beyond, she always has a smile or a witty & funny anecdote, she is tenacious & a brilliant negotiator. She has an innate ability to read the signs during negotiations, whether in buy or sell mode, whilst ultimately making both sides of the deal feel happy with the outcome. D’Leanne & her team took much of the stress out of our sale, achieved a wonderful result given the timing & circumstances and in the end I don’t believe anyone else would have achieved the same outcome. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending D’Leanne.
We would like to thank D’Leanne for all her efforts and dedication in selling our unit in Darling Point in 2015 and also previously our family home in Ebsworth Road, Rose Bay in 2014.
D’Leanne acted very professionally and diligently throughout the sale process providing us with detailed reports and up to date genuine feedback from prospective buyers.
D’Leanne took a lot of the stress away from us by using her expert negotiation and people skills, whilst keeping a good sense of humour and enthusiasm for the duration of the campaign.
D’Leanne showed unflagging energy and commitment: selling our apartment prior to auction after business hours late at night (at 11:30pm!) in order to obtain exchanged contracts.
We would thoroughly recommend D’Leanne’s services – a true professional!
When selling a home, real estate agents are the main players acting on our behalf. Many owners enter this relationship with some trepidation. We were much the same. However, we have been extremely fortunate with the selection of our agent. D'Leanne Lewis worked hard and smart on our behalf with outstanding success. Over a 6 month period of selling our apartment she NEVER gave up even though we were very stubborn on our price! And she worked her able associate - Stephanie Zerial - equally hard. They are a formidable team and we are happy to recommend them to you.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of the estate executors for the outstanding effort you made in selling 26/4 Mitchell Rd Darling Point. Although we were faced with a difficult property market the marketing campaign produced several prospects and your tactical advice on pricing and negotiating skills lead to a successful conclusion. Please extend my appreciation to your assistant Daniel who at all times provided a prompt response to any query. I am looking forward to you selling my next property.
Please accept my sincere thanks for the manner in which your staff have assisted me with the sale of my apartment in Darling Point. From the pre-process right through to the conclusion on the auction night, I felt totally satisfied with the professional attention I received. D’Leanne demonstrated a real “hands on” approach to the sale. I felt from start to finish that D’Leanne was giving it her4 very best, whilst keeping me well informed of her progress. I can’t emphasise strongly enough how impressed I was, at watching her dedicated and enthusiastic selling technique. I trust that in years to come, I will be asking D’Leanne for that same service. D’Leanne’s marvellous results speak volumes for themselves, and I will not hesitate to give her the very strongest of recommendations in the future.
My sister told me that D'Leanne was good. My experience with commissioning her with the sale of my property at Darling Point confirmed that D'Leanne is good, not just because of her professional approach , but also because of her sense of commitment and desire to work for my best interest without compromising the wishes of the purchaser. She is a real deal maker and has been a total pleasure to work with. D’Leanne…. you are my agent for life!!
We are delighted to recommend D’Leanne who sold our unit in Darling Point. D’Leanne was always professional, reliable and available when we needed her. Prospective buyers were treated courteously and with respect. In addition we were impressed with the comprehensive report given to us after each viewing and to know viewers comments on the property. We are extremely grateful for the result we achieved due to D’Leanne’s professionalism, extensive knowledge of the market, extra effort and personal touch. Thank you D’Leanne for a fantastic job !
I submitted the above mentioned property to auction on 16th May. Auction arrangements were made and an auction sign was erected. Photos taken of the interior showing the property in its best presented way. Consideration was given to advertising. It was decided the property would be sent to auction on 12th June. Such is the demand in the area and the established connections of D’Leanne Lewis & Laing & Simmons Double Bay that the property was sold and contracts exchanged for $200,000 above what I considered was a fair market value. Thank you D’Leanne.
Thank you most sincerely for the way you accomplished the sale of my home. Your very patient, calm and caring approach to my anxieties made the process very smooth and stress free….. I did appreciate your understandings of my misgivings and the time you gave to explain every detail….again, Many thanks.
This is to thank you for the method of selling campaign and the unexpectedly wonderful result you managed to achieve with my property. I cannot express how grateful I was with you including me in all points of decision making during the campaign as well as your phone calls after each day of inspection. These allayed any apprehension I might have felt as I was made to feel part of a team – whether my input was relevant or not. Of course, the result was WAY beyond any expectations (about $450,000)) and of course, having been told by my friends that you were one of the best I had confidence that you would get me a good result…..but in particular I am especially grateful for your kind hearted manner, patience and support which preceded the auction and would not hesitate to use you again – or recommend you to friends and family. Thank you D’Leanne
My wife and I have worked with D’Leanne on three occasions since 2003 and each time we have found her to be a delight to deal with. Thoroughly professional, and always with her client’s best interests at heart, D’Leanne brings that something special to the traditional agent/client relationship that sets her apart from her competitors. Needless to say, we would happily recommend D’Leanne to any intending vendor as a real estate agent of the utmost integrity combined with a skilful negotiating talent that enables her to extract the best deal for her clients no matter the circumstances.
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank D’Leanne Lewis for her professional and dedicated approach to the sale of my property. My previous dealings with D’Leanne and those she has had with my whole family prompted me to select her yet again to act as my selling agent. The results she achieved confirms her exceptional reputation as one of Australia’s top agents. In an industry know largely for its somewhat cavalier and materialistic approach, D’Leanne maintains a personal and genuine interest and obvious regard for any special requirements. She is considerate, results oriented and works to the highest of ethical standards. My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending D’Leanne to any future vendors and commend her highly on these attributes.
Kevin and I wanted to thank you for all your efforts throughout the sale of our property. We commend you on your ability to manage the sale process in what appeared to be such an effortless fashion, whilst at the same time dealing so elegantly with your anxious vendors! We selected you to sell our property because we wanted your excellent reputation, professionalism and immaculate presentation associated with our property. We do not regret our decision! The marketing campaign was exceptional given the record numbers of people through the property. We achieved the outcome we were looking for, which has freed us up to pursue new opportunities. Thank you again and we look forward to working with you in the future.
We approached D’Leanne Lewis to sell our townhouse as she has sold many properties in this area. D’Leanne is very professional, hard working and with Dion and her team, they were with us all the way on this journey to get us the best price and to close the deal. She constantly provided us with updates and feedback from the parties who attended the open for inspection days. If unavailable when we called she always returned our calls promptly. We happily recommend D’Leanne Lewis as a representative of the seller in achieving the best price possible.
We were very appreciative of D'Leanne and Dion's guidance throughout our sale process. They provided with sound advice prior to us listing and, once we did, they kept us well informed of the response - even during a period when we were overseas. We were delighted with the price received at auction - $135,000 over our reserve! A result achieved by their hard work up until the 11th hour in dealing with some prospective buyer requests. Immediately after the auction, their efforts turned to assisting us find and secure a new property, ultimately bidding successfully on our behalf. 'All part of the service', a comment that was delivered with a trademark smile and positive attitude. We would definitely seek D'Leanne and Dion's assistance in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
We are really grateful to you, D’Leanne, for the smooth sale of our apartment. We decided to engage you for the task because you had kept in contact with updates on sales in the area for some time and you gave us practical, down-to-earth advice right from the start. Your sales plan was excellent, and this, along with the efficient and courteous back-up from your assistant agents, and your excellent data base of clients, made for an early sale with minimum fuss and expense. Your pleasant manner and approach made it very easy to work with you, and there is no doubt about your excellent negotiating skills in obtaining a very satisfactory price for the unit. Thanks again.
We bought out home from D’Leanne Lewis 4 years ago, so she was our natural choice when it came to selling it on. Her professional and friendly approach has been reassuring throughout the whole process, and with the addition of Sam Noakes…we knew we had the winning team! They were both a true delight to deal with and together they achieved a higher price for our property than we were expecting…especially in this uneasy market. We even managed to sell before the auction, which was a great relief. We would highly recommend D’Leanne & Sam to all of our friends and colleagues and will most definitely use them again when the time comes to sell our next property. Thanks again
On behalf of my mother, my wife & myself I wish to thank D’Leanne & all her team for the assistance she gave to effect the sale of mum’s apartment in a difficult, uncertain & fluctuating market. D’Leanne gave us a sensible & realistic picture of the market & a clear plan of approach to the sales campaign. This proved to be accurate & appropriate to our circumstances, which is a testimony to D’Leanne’s experience & flair for her chosen field. In the end her persistence in pursuit of the sale enabled mum to achieve a price which we had thought fair initially but suddenly seemed likely to be unachievable in a market that suddenly weakened. We are grateful to D’Leanne for her encouragement & steady hand. Well done, D’Leanne
Just a short note to thank you for your professional attention as the selling agent for my apartment. I would like to commend you & your staff on your highly efficient and effective management of the sale, your prompt and detailed communications and your experienced guidance towards the conclusion of the process…particularly when the final negotiations reached their critical point. It was a pleasure working with you on this.
Thank you so much for your support and service during the sale of our home in Rose Bay. From our first meeting with D’Leanne we felt as though we were in good hands, her instruction was clear and concise and guidance was attentive without being overly intrusive. After the showings, she would contact us to identify details and provide feedback, and was open to our comments and needs. We were provided a service that suited our needs, and managed to achieve a price above what we wanted before going to auction, without the requirement to get involved in time-consuming negotiations. Thank you again for making the experience an enjoyable one. We thoroughly appreciated your high level of professionalism and dedication to getting the job done!
“Selling a home is never easy, open for inspections are not perceived as fun. D’Leanne Lewis has destroyed that image for me! With one week of a campaign and 2 open for inspections, my apartment was sold. For an amount above what was expected, with no aggravation. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart. With her attention to detail and appreciation of her clients, you know that she cares. Her knowledge of the current & future market rends is on the dollar. I never felt like she was a typical agent playing the game. Without any hesitation I plan on using D’Leanne for future purchases & sales. I recommend to everyone that you see for yourself, there are agents & then there’s D’Leanne. To D’Leanne, thank you so much for turning what could have been a nightmare, into something that still seems too easy!”
What impressed us the most about D’Leanne was her honesty and professionalism. Honesty isn’t something we really ever associated with real estate agents prior to us using her. D’Leanne & Laing & Simmons Double Bay are a great team- they made us (sellers) feel at ease and the buyers feel welcome…... and then there’s D’Leanne’s uncanny ability to nail the deal. For what is reputedly a stressful process, we were never anxious, worried or distressed in any way. We knew we were in great hands. These are people who will get the right buyers through and make everybody happy at the end of the day. We would not hesitate to use D’Leanne again.
“D’Leanne has acted for me on three occasions over the last few years. Twice when I have been a vendor and once when I was the purchaser. On each occasion, D’Leanne was quickly able to assess my needs and ensure they were met. D’Leanne has a friendly professional manner, which engenders an efficient client/provider relationship. Her communication skills are efficient with follow-up conducted in a timely professional way. D’Leanne’s knowledge of the Eastern Suburbs real estate market is comprehensive which proved invaluable in assisting me with my transactions. I would have not hesitation in using D’Leanne’s services in the future and or recommending her to others”.
I wish to thank D’Leanne Lewis for her professionalism throughout the sale process. It was truly outstanding. Her advice on the best way to secure the price within the time specified was astute and rendered an excellent result. I have sold several properties and can attest to the deficiencies within the Real Estate industry – however D’Leanne’s service impressed me as competent, knowledgeable and credible. I achieved a price for my property which exceeded my expectations, within 4 days of placing my apartment on the market and with only 1 open for inspection. Thank you D’Leanne. I look forward to dealing with you again.
I engaged D'Leanne to sell my Bell Street apartment in April 2011, a difficult time as a seller. She started the sale campaign with great discipline backed by excellent photos and web content. The open houses were well attended and with good follow up by D'Leanne saw a number of interested buyers surfacing. The difficult part was to get an offer with double the number of properties on the market compared to last year, with buyers having so much choice. D'Leanne left no stone unturned and I believed she worked very hard to close down one of the offers we got. She patiently moved the prospective buyer closer to our pricing point and with great realism came to an agreement. I felt that the sale was only achieved through great follow up and hard work. It is easy to sell a property in a booming market, however when the market is down only the best agents come through. D'Leanne is one of them. This is the second property she has sold for me and I will be recommending her to any prospective seller.
“ I would like to place on record our appreciation of the huge effort made by D’Leanne Lewis with the sale of our flat. She did all and more that was required of her in a willing and pleasant manner. I would also like to say how impressed we were with the comprehensive report given to us after each viewing and to know viewers comments on the property. Thanks as well for the excellent editorials throughout the campaign. A very thorough piece of work!”
“I’d just like top take this opportunity to thank you for an excellent job in selling our unit. Your professionalism and dedication throughout the marketing period and during the auction were deeply appreciated. We are extremely happy with the price….$130,000 more than we paid for the unit just 2 years ago. We have sold properties before…my only regret is that they weren’t through you. The constant updates on potential buyers kept us well informed on the state of the market. Your own personal interest in the presentation of the property (thanks for the loan of those wonderful mirrors) also contributed to us getting the best possible price. I would be more than happy to recommend you to any owner who is thinking of putting their property on the market”.
We were referred to D’Leanne Lewis by personal friends who had enjoyed a successful sale of their apartment through her. We could soon see why. We found D’Leanne to be intelligent, highly reliable, efficient and trustworthy in all her dealings, and in particular when it came time to sell our apartment in Vaucluse. Throughout the sales process, we found D’Leanne to be highly capable and honest and thank her again for her efforts in securing us a price well in excess of our expectations….with a minimum of stress.
We would like to thank you for your fantastic efforts in selling our apartment in Rushcutters Bay. D’Leanne managed to sell our property within 3 weeks of listing with her. Our property was hotly contested by prospective buyers and sold before we went to Auction. The result achieved was beyond what we all expected. Our property was a tricky property to sell, with a significant amount of construction being completed around our apartment complex and the apartment itself still being occupied by a rental tenant. D’Leanne’s advice and suggested timing to sell our property was absolutely spot-on. Her knowledge of the Real Estate industry is absolutely first class. We found her to be highly professional, reliable, personable and trustworthy in all our dealings with her. D’Leanne and Sam handled some very difficult and demanding prospective buyers with the utmost patience, courteously, care and respect. We enjoyed a great relationship with D’Leanne and her team who were highly responsive to all our needs and requirements, with no request ever being too much trouble. We really appreciated the detailed feedback and reports that came after every apartment opening. D’Leanne was even complimented by our rental tenants as “being a very good operator” during the sales process. We would have no hesitation recommending D’Leanne to our friends, family and associates if they were looking to buy or sell a property. D’Leanne is one of the best Agents working in the NSW Real Estate industry. D’Leanne and her team were the difference in achieving the best possible outcome selling our property.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for selling my property. You handled it in the most professional way. Your approach to the selling and marketing was most impressive. I am very grateful that you took the pressure off me. I look forward to having you on board, with any future property sales I have.
Thank you, D’Leanne, for the excellent result in selling our apartment. I appreciated your detailed assessment of the market and potential buyers. I have now had the opportunity to see you working from both sides and thoroughly appreciate the non pushy, professional and analytical manner in which you go about your craft. I hope to do business with you again in the future.
I would just like to extend the warmest thanks to D’Leanne for the prefect job she did for me when selling my apartment in Elizabeth Bay. I saw several real estate agents prior to choosing D’Leanne. From the word go D’Leanne was exactly the type of person I wanted selling my apartment. She was professional and presented herself in a manner that made buyers and myself feel extremely comfortable in her selling my apartment. She worked over and above what was expected and in a very turbulent market gained the best result possible with as little stress as possible for myself and my family. I would highly recommend using D’Leanne to any of my friends and if I am every selling/buying again I will definitely be using her.
I am most grateful to you for selling my Potts Points residence. – before auction - and at a very good price for me. I put this down to your hard work and using your professional skills and contacts to the best advantage. Thank you and congratulations. I would be very happy indeed to recommend you to my friends and neighbours who may be interested in selling their properties. Should I move house again in the near future, you are the only ones I would be wanting to deal with – and I hope that you would take me on again!
“We are delighted to recommend D’Leanne who sold our unit in Paddington. We met D’Leanne when we were looking for a property to buy. She was one of the few agents who consistently called for feedback, was always presented immaculately and was extremely pleasant to deal with. When we listed our property with D’Leanne, she was always professional, reliable and available when we needed her. Prospective buyers were treated courteously and with respect - something we noticed and appreciated. On consideration, we don’t feel we would have achieved the result we eventually did without D’Leanne’s professionalism, extensive knowledge of the market, extra effort and personal touch. She did a fantastic job.”
Just wanted to write and thank you very much for your excellent efforts in securing a buyer for my apartment in Woolloomooloo. I thought you were very thorough and highly skilled in making the sale where others had tried and failed. Only a month earlier a better apartment 5 floors higher had failed to sell for roughly the same price. I was also very happy with the marketing campaign and overall quality of service, and will not hesitate to call you for any further real estate needs in the future.
I volunteer to write this reference for D’Leanne Lewis. I feel that compliments are often not given when they are deserved and I am taking this opportunity to formally compliment D’Leanne for her professionalism in her field of real estate/sales. D’Leanne managed a particular difficult sale of my behalf. She was insightful and decisive about the promotion and management of this sale. When unforeseen difficulties arose she was able to chart a successful course that culminated in a successful outcome for both myself as the seller and also for the purchaser. Her advice on matters of protocol and management of the intricate procedure resulted in the successful management of this property which was in the $million plus category. I am happy to recommend D’Leanne for her professional and insightful real estate acumen.
We are writing to express our appreciation with the professionalism of D’Leanne Lewis. We are so very pleased with her skills as our selling agent. We entered in the auction sale with D’Leanne and found out that our property had been sub-let by our managing agents in Potts Point to one of their staff members for a very, very low rent– people we thought we could trust. The managing agent put pressure on us to recognise the sub-letting as valid lease and in the meantime instructed the current tenant to restrict access into our apartment. This was very unexpected and we were scared that we would not be able to sell our apartment – and we had to as the banks were giving us a hard time. D’Leanne gave us a tremendous amount of support. She helped us to understand our rights. She is confident and brave person. She also has excellent orientation on legal issues and property rights as well as the property market generally. Due to D’Leanne’s ability to negotiate with the managing agents, all inspections were run smoothly and access was never an issue. D’Leanne informed us clearly on all aspects of the open for inspections and provided us with details about potential buyers and price expectations. D’Leanne promised only things she could deliver and she always held her promises. Our property was sold at the auction with a result over our reserve. Highly professional people as D’Leanne build a positive image and good reputation for the industry they work in and we have no hesitation in recommending D’Leanne to any buyer or seller on a property market. Thank you again D’Leanne.
Just a quick note to thank you and your team for the wonderful result on the sale of the apartment. Having purchased the apartment from you back 12 years ago, in August 2002, I understood all of the work that you did to secure the sale for your vendor. It was that same commitment that made me select you to handle the sale for me some 12 years later when it was my turn to sell and I honestly could not be any happier! Your proposal indicated a price guidance that was more favourable to me than other agents believed and for the final sale price to exceed even your indication, clearly shows your knowledge of the market and the processes required to secure benchmark values. For anyone thinking of selling – don’t choose anyone else – D’Leanne goes above and beyond to get the job done for you. Thanks again, D’Leanne for the wonderful result.
Our apartment has recently sold with D’Leanne Lewis and Stephanie Zerial and our extended family have also used D’Leanne’s services for various properties for a number of years. D’Leanne and Stephanie offer a very professional, enthusiastic and thorough service which takes the stress out of selling. Their advice was invaluable to us, particularly as this was our first property sale. They worked to tight deadlines, with exceptional negotiating skills to achieve the best result from our successful purchaser. It is clear they both love their jobs and thrive on achieving the best results for their clients. We are very happy with the results they achieved. We will definitely continue to use their services for any future sales.
Thank you, thank you, thankyou! - D'leanne it was an absolute pleasure working with you in selling our Bronte Beach apartment. You were recommended by dear friends who's word I trust impeccably and now I can vouch 100% that everything they said about you is true! Your professionalism, attention to detail, quick response, always-on-hand approach made the whole process a delight... not to mention the added bonus of your great sense of humour!!!!! Thank you for the laughs and thankyou for going above and beyond for us. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.
An amazing result yet again! Thanks D’Leanne for handling the sale of our apartment You are a true professional in all regards. Your honesty and dedication to making the sale as stress free as possible was greatly appreciated and to be highly commended. It was vital that we achieved the best possible result and you definitely made that happen. It was an absolute delight to work with you again and we will keep on recommending you to others, as we have done in the past.
Thank you for your assistance in selling our apartment. You have all the necessary attributes and qualities that made selling our home a pleasure. Your professionalism, extensive knowledge of the market and selling strategy are of the highest order. We obtained a wonderful price in a very quick time, due also to your excellent database of prospective qualified purchasers. We cannot recommend you too highly to anyone considering selling their home.
I wish to note to any client, contemplating utilising your real estate office, inclusive of your personal handling of property sale and client service, that I am in a position to recommend you, and your assistants, attentive and professional manner, in all aspects of real estate sales client service. Than you again for your assistance in contemplating the pre-auction sale of my apartment and the friendly professional manner in which all our business was conducted.
This is to thank you and congratulate you on the highly professional and successful sale of my property at 8/43 Francis Street, Bondi Beach. I was more than impressed with your attention to detail at all times and grateful to you for your skills in facilitating and negotiating throughout the process. Selling a property can often be a highly emotional event and I appreciate your tact and support. I would have no hesitation nor reservation about recommending you highly to friends and acquaintances wishing to buy or sell property. Once again, many thanks.
“I am writing to you on behalf of myself and Elvira to extend our sincerest gratitude for all your assistance in completing the sale of our unit. We were both most impressed with your sincerity, energy, organisational skills and willingness to go the extra yard. We both feel that the successful result at auction was in large part attributable to your hard work, commencing prior to the date of listing and are also grateful for all your help post sale. We look forward to a long and mutually profitable association in the future
Following the successful sale of our properties, we wanted to formally recognise you for your outstanding level of service. From the first meeting we had, we found your advice and recommendations to be insightful and your prediction of changing market conditions have been correct. After meeting many other agents, we were so relieved to be represented by someone who really understands what being professional is about….Your attentiveness to our needs was flawless on every occasion and you put so much effort into staying in touch with buyers and working them up to our expectations (now that we are buyers in the home market ourselves, I am surprised at how little work most agents have done on us, in comparison). On the evening of the auction, we were shocked to learn that you had handled five other properties over the same period – you made us feel like we were the only people you had represented!! Since completing our sales, you have provided us with continued attention, advice and assistance in our search to buy a new home, despite there being no financial incentive for you to do so. This level of service goes well beyond the “call of duty” and this, in combination with the other factors is why the next time Julie and I have a property to sell, you will be the only estate agent we call. Thank you D’Leanne.
I write to thank you for your outstanding professionalism in the sale of the above property and the fantastic result that we were able to realise. The sale, a result of a separation, was a process that was difficult for both parties, was managed by you with incredible compassion and consideration. Your management of the sale was conducted thoughtfully and with both parties’ interests considered fully. While other agents promised high returns, you managed our expectations and delivered a result 5% higher than the expected result –without having to go to auction! You ensured that we were after a quality result and did not end up on the night of auction standing in a state of dismay. Further the process was conducted within a short time frame over a time period often considered not suitable for the ultimate sale of a property. Your tenacity in chasing the “hot prospects” was unparalleled and reporting, both written and verbal gave me a high level of confidence that we were going to be successful as a result of the sale. Having bought and sold the property through you, I would have no hesitation – at all – in recommending you to anyone who is looking to sell property under your guidance and welcome the opportunity to work with you again.
I would like to thank you for your excellent service over the past month. At all times you were a true professional, delivering exactly what you promised. Your excellent informative manner when dealing with me is a credit to you and to Laing & Simmons. My experience in the last month leads me to believe that I have achieved the very best price for my property and the very best service in attaining it. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective seller.
Another great result! Thank you once again for all your efforts on our behalf. Having dealt with you on previous occasions, we knew to expect the very highest level of professionalism The advertisements, marketing and auction were all well done – as usual – and we appreciated the comprehensive reports as the sale progressed. The effort you put in combined with your very pleasant manner made the process very enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble for you to do, D’Leanne and we appreciate all your efforts. Thank you once again.
I decided to make a sea change early in 2008. We listed our Vaucluse property with D’Leanne as the sub-prime crises was starting to hit the global markets. She helped us to set a positive “starting asking price” in order to develop buyer interest. Many opportunistic buyers circled, however D’Leanne moved selling price expectations up as buyer interest firmed up. All through the process, D’Leanne ensured that we were not “panicked” and also further ensured that we stuck to our game plan until the right buyer emerged. She then managed the final price up to what she thought the maximum the buyer would pay. From the day we employed D’Leanne, she worked diligently and consistently over 3 months to ensure we got the best result. D’Leanne always kept us up to date with all progress and I never felt out of touch with what was going on…and this was a blessing. Looking back I am really glad I choose D’Leanne, because when the pressure is on only champions succeed.
I am writing to convey my sincere thanks for the assistance that you provided in relation to the sale of my aunt’s home. The sale price that we realised was above our expectations and I believe it was achieved primarily as a result of the professionalism and skill you exhibited in marketing this property. I would firstly like to voice my appreciation for the considerate and friendly manner you demonstrated in the various personal meetings you had with my aunt. The property had been her home for over 50 years and she held many cherished memories from her life there. Naturally it was a very emotional time for her and the manner in which you dealt with her questions and concerns greatly helped her at this stressful time and provided her with reassurance and the confidence that she was making the correct decision. I found your counsel throughout the process to be invaluable. The advice you provided at each stage of the sales process, from your initial advice on optimum time to sell through to advice on a marketing strategy, presentation of the property and finally your conviction that the auction process would provide the best result, proved to be spot on and further demonstrated your knowledge and understanding of the real estate market. I was also reassuring to know that you were always on call to answer queries and provide advice and your practice of providing regular unsolicited updates was most appreciated. At all times I felt that I was kept fully informed and was completely confident everything was being done to further the best interests of my aunt. Once again D’Leanne, I would like to compliment you on the professionalism and skill you demonstrated and thank you for your friendly help and support throughout the process.
Our family would like to thank you for the excellent management of the marketing campaign of our family home. We found you to be extremely professional and personal in your approach. You were very proactive with all potential buyers and kept us well informed of results of inspections and genuine feedback from the potential buyers, right to our successful sale on auction night, where we achieved well above our reserve…in no short measure due to your excellent & dedicated efforts. We are well pleased with the result and look forward to working with you again in the in the future.
Recently, we wanted to sell our home in Vaucluse…We chose D’Leanne Lewis…she came to us highly recommended and we soon found out why. Her pleasing personality, ability to handle prospective buyers, knowledge of the market, personal interest in every aspect of the sale and efficiency in handling the smaller details were beyond expectations. It was a pleasure to do business with her….
Thank you for all the hard work your team and yourself put in to get us a great result in selling 20 Oceanview Ave Vaucluse. After listing it with another agency and receiving offers well below our expectations, it was a great relief to hear your honest estimation of what our home was worth – and a realistic time frame in which to sell it. We sold it within 4 weeks of listing it with you and to someone on your database, as you had promised. What a fantastic result D’Leanne – and for a whopping $250,000 over what our previous agent was able to get! I have no hesitation in recommending you and your team at to any potential client wishing to sell or buy a property at an honest market rate. This was our home and we are sad to see it go, but we are happy you prospered amongst the obstacles. Thank you for selling our home.
We would like to thank you your incredible efforts, both in the sale of our property (28 Olola Avenue, Vaucluse) 3 years ago & our recent sale (25 New South Head Road, Vaucluse). On both occasions we felt very well looked after & the process of selling remained completely stress-free for us both due to your expertise & your caring nature. Although this testimonial has been a long-time coming it is sent to you with much appreciation for a job well done! You kept us informed at all times of what was going on & the results (especially considering the time-frame in which they were achieved both times) have been ‘beyond the expected’ as promised. You are an absolute pleasure to work with, we would recommend you to anyone considering the sale of their property (and do!) & hope to do business with you again in the future.
Firstly congratulations on a job well done! Both Robyn & I are extremely happy with the result achieved at the auction. The entire promotion was conducted extremely well, the number of parties attracted by the intense coverage was extremely satisfying which reflected on the number of parties present in the auction room. Our $$ target was set at a high level, which was exceeded on the night….which was certainly a very pleasant result!! We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of yourself to our friends and family
We recently sold our home in Vaucluse. From the very beginning, through to a successful conclusion, D’Leanne provided exceptional service and high quality advice. She kept us constantly informed throughout the inspection process, so we were always aware of the level of interest in our property. She was thoroughly professional in managing all aspects of our sale and presented our property with great care, skill and style. D’Leanne has a thorough knowledge & understanding of the real estate market and a unique ability to devise and execute an effective strategy. We were particularly impressed when an interested party from interstate inspected our property and was not familiar with the area. She spent a couple of hours driving him around and showing him the delightful spots around Vaucluse & Watsons Bay. I think this demonstrates her dedication and 100% commitment to get the best results for her clients..n>
We would like to express our sincere thanks for the excellent result you achieved with the sale of our house in Vaucluse. Prior to appointing you we obtained estimated sales prices from several agents. If we compare those prices quoted with what you achieved we are delighted to say that we are substantially better off. What a great achievement. Thank you, D’Leanne. This was our first sale. Therefore we were heavily reliant on your good advice, which you had plenty of. We appreciated your regular and timely follow-ups and keeping us informed about the developments. When it all came to a close it was natural that we got very tense. Your calm and ensuring way (of handling everything) helped us tremendously. So did the fact that you managed to sell the house prior to auction. We would also like to express our appreciation to your subcontractors, particularly your gardener and Interior Designer, who did excellent jobs to show our home at its best. Last but not least thank you to your reliable and always friendly team at your office. You delivered on your promise in all aspects. We would highly recommend you to any potential client.
We write to confirm the reality of having dealt with you during the recent sale of our above beloved property. Having bought before we sold, you took the pressure away with your confidence, advice and a swift sale before auction. Having confidently and accurately valued our house you achieved a very close and fair price with excellent negotiating skills. Yours sales strategy, market knowledge and professionalism were accurate and in fact faultless. You always returned our calls promptly and your friendly upbeat manner always made us feel that nothing was a problem. You should take pride in the fact that not only are you very very good at what you do, you are clearly at the top of your field. Thank you so much for your help and hard work…we will be working together again.
We just wanted to thank you for your efforts in making a difficult situation, what with us living in Queensland at the time of the sale, a comparative breeze. Given the soft market conditions at the time and the fact that we were not on hand on a regular basis you managed to instil in us total confidence in your ability to handle the sale and your firm grasp of market conditions in the area. Throughout the whole process you demonstrated total professionalism and dedication to the tasks at hand as well as demonstrating excellent communication and reporting skills. You always made yourself available and kept us fully informed at all times. It was also a pleasure dealing with such a positive and delightful person. Once again, D’Leanne, many thanks for a job well done and for your help and support throughout the sales process.
This is just a short note in appreciation of the excellent way that D’Leanne Lewis handled the sale of our house in Vaucluse. She was always kind and understanding towards we old fogies, under a certain amount of strain at leaving their home after 30 years. For this we thank her very much.
We recently decided to sell our property in Vaucluse and our first thoughts were to call D’Leanne Lewis as we had 4 years previously bought our house through her and had found her to be very discreet and honourable. In selling our house, she conducted herself with extreme professionalism, thoughtfulness and care. Her knowledge of the current market was excellent. We have subsequently bought our new home again through her and we can truly say that D’Leanne has the utmost integrity, puts in 100% effort and is completely trustworthy. We feel with all these attributes plus a very pleasing personality we would have confidence in highly recommending her to anyone wishing to sell their home. Once again “thank you so much, D’Leanne.
3 weeks & it was sold , 3 weeks of little stress in terms of the Process in selling ones family home, due in principal to D’Leanne. As I have said, and this sums up my view on the matter to any prospective seller, “Even if the property was not sold , I would still recommend D’Leanne Lewis “. She makes the process easier to cope with & is on the same page as the sellers. Thank you once again D’Leanne for a job very well done!
I have known D’Leanne Lewis for about 16 years, since she sold our first cottage for us in Watson’s Bay. More recently she sold our house in Coolong Road, Vaucluse and I could not wish for a better agent. D’Leanne, ably helped by her fabulous team, is hard working, always available, accurate in her assessment of the market forces at play and hugely knowledgeable. She is creative in her thinking, and if she has pre-sale suggestions to make to tweak the appearance of a house it is a good idea to follow them. In addition she is invariably good-humoured and avoids the pushiness that can make real estate dealings so unpleasant. She works tirelessly to get the outcome the client hopes for but is honest when she feels that this is an unrealistic goal. In summary, both D’Leanne is an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who wants the best price for their home and a great agent - who they can trust - to do it for them!
We are writing to thank you for the superb way in which you handled the sale of our house. From the moment we first spoke to you we felt that you were truly listening to us and had our best interests at heart. Selling a house can be extremely stressful for the vendors but your sensitivity, warmth and calm reassurance allowed us to feel quite relaxed about the whole process. At the same time we never doubted your efficiency, absolute dedication or your professional approach and we are extremely grateful to you. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of selling their home and would definitely use you again in any future house sale. In the meantime we are hoping to use your incredible knowledge of the market in buying our next house! Thank you again for everything you have done for us.
It is relatively easy to find a great real estate agent in a strong market. It is certainly more challenging to find a great agent, possessing that rare level of skill and expertise, in more difficult times. D'Leanne Lewis is certainly one such agent and we feel very lucky to have chosen her to sell our home. She possesses a degree of determination and unrelenting optimism that is both comforting for the vendor and inspiring for any potential purchasers. As our agent, D'Leanne was at all times highly professional and unfailingly positive, friendly and accessible. She always took the time to explain how and why she chose the particular marketing strategy for our home and despite selling in a supposedly 'sluggish' market, she managed to deftly bridge the gap between our expectations and the market realities, so that we were satisfied with the result. Most importantly, she demonstrated superb negotiating skills. We continue to be delighted by the strong relationship that was developed during the marketing campaign and her service has not stopped simply because the sale is complete. D'Leanne continues to happily touch base with us, offering us her time, research skills and expert opinion on any variety of real estate questions we have as we embark on buying our next home. Such generosity (she may as well have become our de facto buyers agent!) is truly appreciated.
I met D’Leanne over 20 years ago when she sold my home in Bondi Beach and even back then was so impressed with her tenacity and ability to achieve an outcome to sell a property. She was hungry and eager and showed so much initiative as a young real estate sales woman. Some 20 years later, D’Leanne displays the same eagerness and tenacity and if anything her passion and confidence has grown and evolved. D’Leanne has been the agent of choice for my family whenever we have had to choose an agent to sell any of our properties over this very extended time we have known her. She is devoted and dedicated to her work and shows absolute determination no matter what! I would highly recommend D’Leanne to anyone – you won’ t find anyone who will work as hard as she does to get you the best result! Thank you D’Leanne
We chose D'Leanne because she was a good balance of realistic and optimistic with a good plan to deliver the result and she clearly wanted to do the best for the vendor , as opposed to an easy sell. Our decision was subsequently proved right as the process ran its course , as D'Leanne never lost her positive balance, despite the normal ups and downs of a sale process. Her attention to detail is world class, and demonstrates she is thinking about your project the whole time while juggling all the other balls in the air. Her judgement is excellent when it comes to buyer prospecting and closing the deal and is really good at bringing buyer and seller to the right decision , without compromising the positions of either party. All this is possible because she has the insight, determination, resilience and dedication coupled with a responsive and proactive attitude that engages everybody involved. She is also an easy person to deal with ,energetic , happy ,great sense of humour, no ego and very importantly knows how to get on with your pets! There are very few real estate agents who feel like a friend , D'Leanne is one of them, the complete package.
We have now sold 2 properties - and purchased 1 - through D’Leanne Lewis Both herself and her Company presents professionally throughout the process from engagement to finalisation. D’Leanne is truly a leader in her field, with a charm , intellect and savvy business head she is ever ready and willing to go the extra yard to ensure a successful outcome. Her honesty and consistency has been very evident from the first time we met her 9 years ago and still is the same now which is why we had no hesitation in choosing her to represent us in the sale of our home this year. I have been involved with several Realtors and several transactions and without a doubt in my mind - for our family the only Real Estate Agency we consider is Laing and Simmons and specifically D’Leanne Lewis Once again thanks D’Leanne and keep knocking em over!
I met D'Leanne at a very difficult time in my life, and immediately felt comfortable and confident in her not only as an agent, but as a friend. She kept in regular contact for many months prior to arranging the sale of the house, and went beyond the call of duty in order to arrange the sale. She was totally professional in every way, very informative, totally motivated to do the best she could for the property in a very difficult market. Her constant feedback, written reports, and attention to detail was greatly appreciated, and when she was away her staff who assisted in preparing the house for sale were very friendly and efficient. I would not hesitate in recommending D'Leanne to anyone looking for a special person to sell their home for them, and I look forward to doing business with D'Leanne again in the future.
I met D’Leanne when I was a buyer for an apartment in Carlisle street, 10years ago. Already back then she had all the qualities of an exceptional agent and I had great expectations when I was advised to appoint her. WELL… she exceeded all my expectations, and much more. She is a very approachable person, with high integrity (unusual in this industry some times) and most importantly she “thinks outside the box” D’Leanne kept me diligently informed after every open for inspection and every private inspection. She was constantly thinking of ways to improve the property’s perception of value and ensure that it was presented in the best possible light. She constantly updated me with her objectives & views to ensure we achieved a successful result. D’Leanne is a very positive, optimistic woman with strong negotiating skills. I would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of selling – that wants the best possible result –as I think she is the best in the business! Thank you again D’Leanne!
Kate and I wanted to write and tell how delighted we were with the way you conducted the sale of our house, 27 Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse. To be honest, we thought of using another agent as we had never met you. My wife suggested we get an interview with you and we were so impressed with your knowledge and professionalism we changed our mind and signed up with Laing & Simmons after your presentation. From that moment on, nothing was too much trouble, you conducted the process without fuss – which was very much appreciated during this incredibly difficult time, and most importantly, you negotiated an awesome price before the first public open for inspection. If you sell your house through anyone else you are a bonehead! The service, the transparency and the negotiating ability was all the best we’d seen by a mile. Kate and I sincerely wish you continued success in your business, please feel free to use this reference.
We have dealt with several estate agents in the East over the years to purchase and sell property, but when it came to sell our family home of 32 years it was a very emotional decision. D'Leanne Lewis was handpicked to sell our home and it was indeed the right decision. D'Leanne made the entire experience seamless and gained the result that she promised. D'Leanne is a true professional in all areas of her profession. She gave us positive suggestions on how to best prepare the property for sale and communicated with us during the entire campaign and throughout the whole process she remained warm, friendly, honest and approachable and worked tirelessly to achieve an outstanding result D'Leanne is honest, hardworking, very determined and is incredibly knowledgeable ; her phenomenal sales records speak for themselves. She is truly a credit to her profession. We look forward to a long standing future association with D'Leanne and will certainly be recommending her to others.
D’Leanne Lewis is a true professional. She has an incredible knowledge of the unique market that the Eastern Suburbs is and recalls facts and figures at moments notice to substantiate her claims. She is extremely hardworking, reliable, business savvy and always available at whim. She leads her team with might and professionalism to deliver optimum results. As a woman she appreciates the needs and wants of other women whilst at the same time she can handle a man who appreciates her business sense and acumen and thereby fosters trust from both sexes. We wholeheartedly recommend her; she is the best of the best. Thank you again for a record breaking result!
I would like to thank you for all the hard work put in by yourself and the team at Laing & Simmons, Double Bay, when selling my property. Your professionalism along with your frank and open approach made what could have been a very stressful time, run quite smoothly. The inspection reports provided were most informative and the detail contained allowed me to make considered decisions. I am most appreciative of the dedication and time you put into ensuring a successful sale and would be happy to recommend you to other prospective vendors.

We first met D’Leanne in July this year as anxious and busy purchasers looking for the right family home. After enduring a difficult search, D’Leanne assisted us to secure the perfect property. We then engaged D’Leanne to work with us on the sale of our property. This time, we were anxious and even busier vendors selling what was then our family home. Dealing with D’Leanne and her team was a pleasure on both occasions. D’Leanne was at all times perceptive, prompt, punctual and professional. She paid attention to all of the details that needed to be attended to and nothing was too much trouble. It evident that D’Leanne takes great pride in her work and derives a great deal of pleasure in assisting her clients to secure their objectives. She instills a great deal of confidence in you both as a purchaser and as a vendor, We recommend her in either capacity.
We would like to thank D’Leanne for all her efforts and dedication in selling our family home in Rose Bay in 2014 and subsequently our unit in Darling Point in 2015 D’Leanne acted very professionally and diligently throughout the sale process providing us with detailed reports and up to date genuine feedback from prospective buyers. D’Leanne took a lot of the stress away from us by using her expert negotiation and people skills, whilst keeping a good sense of humour + enthusiasm for the duration of the campaign. D’Leanne showed unflagging energy and commitment: selling our apartment prior to auction after business hours late at night (at 11:30pm!) in order to obtain exchanged contracts. We would thoroughly recommend D’Leanne’s services – a true professional!
D'Leanne Lewis was highly recommended by a good friend who had sold a house in Queens Park earlier in the year. She certainly delivered on our high expectations. Her advice was honest and direct and she ensured we were well informed throughout the sale process. Ultimately we were very happy with the result in a market which was quite challenging. She has a warm and engaging demeanour and is a strong negotiator deliver a great result. Again, many thanks D’Leanne.

D’Leanne Lewis recently sold our Randwick property for an extremely good price. Throughout the marketing campaign she kept us informed of potential buyers, their comments on the house and what she believed they had to spend. The marketing was extremely successful, with record numbers coming through to inspect the property. All names were given to us, which I think is important for security reasons. On the night of the auction, we were not surprised to find 4 potential buyers there, all of whom were quickly pointed out to us by D’Leanne, and, of course, the property was sold to one of these buyers …..for $280,000 over our reserve.. Thank you D’Leanne for making it an extremely easy and stress-free sale.
I have been lucky enough to engage D'leanne Lewis as my agent in not just one, but two very successful sales. A few years ago she helped me achieve a great result when selling my first unit in the Eastern Suburbs, and recently, she has once again weaved her magic and attained another excellent result. With D’Leanne on your side you are assured of professionalism, determination, instinct, personal touch and most of all, a Great Result. Her years of experience and successful selling allow her to quickly understand the market, the value of your home and how to keep a seller positive through the whole sale process. She always kept me well informed and confident that she was going into bat for me to get me the best price for my home….But most of all, she achieves what is basically the only important thing in real estate ,that is, to find the right buyer for your home, and continue working until the deal is signed and sealed. I highly recommend D'leanne Lewis to anyone considering selling their home.
We feel compelled to put pen to paper to thank you for making a probability into a certainty. We chose you to sell our property because of your positive attitude, enthusiasm and the genuine interest you expressed and we were not disappointed. …Thank you so much for accomplishing such an incredible result. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we will certainly be seeking your services again in the future.
We would like to thank you for the wonderful way in which you handled the sale of our house. We have felt complete confidence in you from the first time we met, and we were always sure you had our best interests at heart. Over and above your professionalism we were impressed by your positive attitude, sense of humour, warmth and unbelievable work ethic. We have been recommending you to anyone who is thinking of selling their home and would definitely use you again in any future sale; in the meantime, we are hoping to use your expertise to help us find our next home! Thank you again for everything you have done
Thank you D’Leanne for selling my home…and setting a record for the street in the process! Although the sales process took a bit longer than we had expected, you never lost your level of enthusiasm, which continued throughout the extended sales process. Throughout the campaign & following weeks you were always very professional and encouraging, keeping me constantly informed of all the progress you were making. Once the sale was achieved, you also helped me find another house – even though it was through another agent…you were totally helpful in every way and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to all my family & friends,…..and I would definitely use you again when next considering selling. Again, thank you D’Leanne
I wanted to take this opportunity to praise Ms. Lewis for her efforts in the sales campaign for 14 Bishops Avenue in Randwick. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, which we were delighted with, her drive and professionalism have been exemplary. Among her accomplishments: provided valuable pre-inspection interior/garden decorating advice and accessories to maximize appeal of property to targeted audience maximized number of groups through inspection period--multiples of past sales campaigns in comparable Eastern surburbs locations with other prominent agents aggressively pursued any interest and identified set of several potential buyers at market prices acquired knowledge of live buyers intentions prior to auction--accuracy beyond comparison in previous campaigns expert management of auction process achieved maximum price on the night aggressively pursued closure during and after the auction In sum, given fickle market conditions, a select audience for and relatively swift resale of the property and a short sales campaign, Ms. Lewis achieved admirable results for the vendor. I will recommend highly Ms. Lewis and Laing & Simmons/Double Bay in future and would not hesitate to provide any requested reference. Again, I say this as a veteran of several Eastern Surburbs property ventures and countless auctions--reiterated thanks.
D’Leanne Lewis brings a passion and commitment to her chosen vocation. She has a material warmth and energy which contribute to her special ability to quickly establish a rapport with those she touches. It was this plus her obvious professionalism combined with a sales strategy that made the most sense, which convinced me to ask her to sell my home. A very satisfactory outcome was achieved due to her diligence and skill. I should also add that D’Leanne’s posititivty and understanding heightened the somewhat stressful time for me throughout the campaign. My affirmation is probably unnecessary as her sales record speaks for itself.
They say selling your home is one of the most stressful events in life and it can be. But for us, it was not the difficult time it could have been. Working with D’Leanne took most of the stress out of the process for us. D’Leanne’s professional and warm manner had us feeling we were in good hands. As soon as we listed our home with D’Leanne, we were happy until the heaviest rain Sydney had experienced for years came down, along with gale force winds, on most inspection open days!! We said to ourselves that nobody would be able to sell a property in this weather. We expressed our dismay to D’Leanne and we suggested that perhaps we should take our house off the market and try again another time. D’Leanne reassured us and gave us every confidence and said that she promised us that she would sell our home and that she intended to keep that promise. And, she was true to her word!! Not only having 1 buyer but 3! And all ready to exchange contracts before the auction date!! All the buyers were prepared to pay a very satisfactory price to us which shows the dedication and drive D’Leanne gives when she takes on your property. We thoroughly recommend D’Leanne Lewis to anyone wishing to sell their property. To coin an old cliché, she’s simply the best!!
D'Leanne Lewis has been perfect from the first moment we met her. She has a good understanding of the market value and does not try to win you with an over-estimation. When a family home is being sold it can be difficult for the children who no longer live in the area to be in touch with the necessary people to bring the house up to scratch. All those people ready, willing and able at the touch of her phone. Not a mean feat in days where it could take you weeks to get a quote. D'Leanne showed us her strengths lay in getting any job done whether it was dealing with tradesmen or clients. What we most admired about D'Leanne was her sensitivity for a lady who was leaving her home after 50 years and the understanding of the family who were managing it from a distance. With her support and professionalism we had a good sale and were left happy.
Since 2002, I have had the pleasure of working with D'Leanne on three separate transactions. Each was concluded very successfully. In addition to these matters she has been in regular contact with me over the years, and provided me with useful insights of where the market is heading. I trust her judgment implicitly. She is the best at what she does and would not hesitate to use her and recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you D’Leanne.
With the passing of the holiday season we have now had an opportunity to reflect on what we, an in particular you, achieved with the sale of 44 Bourke Street. Like all sellers of newly renovated houses, we had a vision for our property that we needed to impart to potential purchasers to ensure value was maximised. Having interviewed a number of your competitors when selecting an agent, it was clear to us that you not only shared that vision better than others, but also brought an incredible level of determination to the sales process. These factors combined with strong organisational skills and a willingness to assist in any way you can (which is particularly helpful for offshore sellers trying to prepare a house for market) drove our sales process to a very successful conclusion. We are confident that, had we NOT selected you, we would not have achieved the record breaking sales result that we did for our property – and for Queens Park. Many thanks for your huge contribution..
When I first met D’Leanne at 4 View St, Woollahra, I was very sceptical about agents. I had also pretty strong views on the price for this property (of course much lower than what the owner wanted!) and D’Leanne was not only able to convince me to buy the house for my daughter – but also to pay much more than I had originally planned! I paid more than I was going to buy but have ended up very happy and glad that D’Leanne persuaded me to do so. When it came time to selling my house, there was simply no decision to make. D’Leanne was my agent of choice. In the preparation and presentation of the house, D’Leanne played a pivotal role and was very practical together with a great sense of style. D’Leanne had a great rapport with all members of my family. Throughout the sale we did have interest but at the death – when we really had only one bidder – she manage to complete the sale the sale at an excellent price which in this market is no mean feat! D’Leanne’s feel for the market and prices is excellent – better than any agent I have dealt with – and she can read and handle both vendors and purchasers incredibly well – including me! I would highly recommend D’Leanne to anyone who is seeking to buy – or sell – without any hesitation or qualification. She is very, VERY good!
D'Leanne Lewis & her team at Laing & Simmons Double Bay have just sold our house in Queens Park with a fabulous result & beyond price expectation. My wife & I had several agents through while we where researching the prospect of selling our house. We choose D'Leanne Lewis over the rest as she was a straight shooter & could immediately see our vision of the house we designed and how we thought it would be positioned within the marketplace totally unprompted. We gained an instant rapport with her and felt comfortable in putting our home in her hands. This along with her excellent negotiating experience & local knowledge gave her the edge. The entire experience with D'Leanne & her team was smooth and painless in what can be a very stressful time. We would highly recommend D'Leanne for anyone considering selling their home and know that she will give it the respect of a treasured possession. We not only have found a great agent who we will be using again, but through her have also gained a great source of information & a high profile insider into the Eastern Suburbs & the industry in general. D'Leanne is already helping us find our next property & we trust her guidance on accurate property prices & fabulous locations. Thanks D'Leanne & the Laing & Simmons Double Bay team.

I wanted to take this opportunity to write and thank you so very much for all you and your wonderful team have done and the hard work you have put into selling our house. We are thrilled that we have sold, and I know the market wasn't doing what we had hoped, however you made this process so very easy and I must admit non stressful which is amazing when trying to sell a house!! I always knew that I wanted you to handle the sale of our property, and if the occasion arises again that I am going to sell property, I have no hesitations in knowing who I am going to call. I hope that our paths cross again, I know they will, and perhaps we will see you at one of your open's very soon. Thank you so very much again for everything.
D’Leanne Lewis was appointed the exclusive agent for my property in Dover Heights. Three weeks later was successfully sold for a price that few had expected it to achieve, and indeed was then a street record for a house of its kind. I chose D’Leanne from many others because I was convinced that potential buyers for my house would best respond to someone who could make the buying process a collaborative and co-operative experience; as opposed to one of confrontation which, sadly, many agents unwittingly engender. D’Leanne’s “special something” establishes trust and confidence quickly, and dispenses with rumour and nonsense. This can only be to the great advantage of the Vendor.
Many thanks for all your hard work selling our house. We truly appreciated your honesty, integrity and professionalism, throughout the marketing campaign. Thank you for going the extra mile, on our behalf and managing to achieve beyond the expected. We really appreciated the great service, which I can highly recommend. We will use you again in the future. Once again many thanks.
After trying unsuccessfully to sell our property with another agent, and having given the property a rest, we turned to D’Leanne to provide us with advice and subsequent representation. D’Leanne maintained a realistic perspective at all times, and importantly acknowledged the key selling features of our home and was able to articulate these clearly to potential purchasers…...fundamentally, D’Leanne got it! D’Leanne and her team were punctual and professional throughout the sales program, and displayed compassion and understanding. At all times we were briefed on progress and a clear strategy was maintained despite challenging market conditions. Once prospective purchasers were identified, D’Leanne showed an ethical, thorough and professional approach to closing the sale. I would have no hesitation in recommending or using D’Leanne again in the future should the opportunity arise.
Lee & I wish to thank you for the way in which you conducted the sale of our property and its successful auction. The whole campaign was carried out in a most professional manner and we would like to take this opportunity in wishing you every success in the future. Thank you once again.
We would really like to thank you and your team (especially your wonderful Auctioneer) for the fantastic work you did on the sale of our property. I can’t express to you enough how extremely pleased we were with the final results. You gave us great encouragement and we trusted and felt that you were always honest with us. A you know, we had prior dealings with other agents and we were not given honest advice, and, in fact, felt as if we were being pursued by a “shark” (this is no doubt where the real estate industry gets its terrible reputation!!). This is no doubt from us being “out of towners”. We were feeling venerable and so totally insecure, not sure if we were making the right decision. We did make the right decision in saying no to other agents. I am so thankful that when we decided to ring around and spoke to you, we had good feelings and …as they say…the rest is history, with a sales price way exceeding over $200,000 over our reserve!
I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention the exceptional effort and service given to us by D’Leanne Lewis. From our first meeting with her when looking for another property, she impressed us with her enthusiasm and professionalism. Her endless energy in finding a suitable property for us, led us to entrust her in the sale of our home. During the process of selling our home, she instilled confidence with her management and gave us peace of mind by keeping us constantly informed and up to date with her progress. The end result was much dependent on her skill and salesmanship. We have no hesitation in recommending Laing & Simmons and particularly D’Leanne to anyone contemplating selling or purchasing a property.
With no intention of moving house after 27 years at Bronte, we saw a property on the web and went to what was in fact the last Open Inspection prior to its scheduled auction less than a week later. D’Leanne showed us through and detailed all the features twice in 2 days without any of the “pressure tactics” often associated with many agents in the industry. Her approach to us was a refreshing and professional experience. We bought our new home 48 hours later. That meant we had to sell and vacate our home in Bronte without delay. D’Leanne put a proposal to us and conducted the preparation, advertising, inspections and auction with what could only be described as 100% professionalism. There were moments when the stress of needing to sell but not knowing what realistic offers would be forthcoming gave us cause to doubt we could achieve the result we needed. D’Leanne calmed our nerves and secured enough motivated and qualified bidders to achieve an outstanding result for us. We have no hesitation in recommending her to anybody considering buying or selling property in the eastern suburbs.
We first met D'Leanne when we were looking to buy a new home in the Eastern suburbs and were impressed by her knowledge of the market, straight forward approach and professionalism. When it came time to sell our Bronte home we interviewed a number of agents but D'Leanne was by far the stand out candidate. D'Leanne came across as smart, savvy and more importantly someone we thought we would be comfortable dealing with. D'Leanne proved to be all of these things and exceeded our expectations. D'Leanne was a pleasure to deal with and achieved a sale price which we were very happy with, especially considering the growing concerns due to the financial crisis. We would happily recommend D'Leanne and definitely appoint her when we consider selling again.
After trying unsuccessfully to sell our house with another agent and having taken the property off the market, my son and daughter in law finally convinced me to see and talk to D’Leanne Lewis......and the rest is history. I would have no hesitation in recommending D’Leanne to anybody looking to sell, or buy property, or myself using her again, should the opportunity arise. D’Leanne was very professional, helpful, patient and punctual at all times. Right from the beginning she was able to acknowledge the key selling features of our home and I have felt complete confidence in her from the first time we met. After only few inspections – and with no further cost for advertising - our house was sold. Finally…an agent who I can trust!! Well done D’Leanne and many Thanks!
Just a brief note to thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication in selling not one but two properties for us in this difficult market. Selling properties at auction is certainly a fairly stressful activity however your understanding, professionalism and congeniality throughout the whole process relieved us of much of that pressure. Your regular updates after inspections were very informative. We were also hugely grateful for your assistance and advice in relation to the property we found to purchase which was, unfortunately, being sold through a different agent. That you were able to provide us with recent sales results for that area and also advise on the best strategies to use when attending the auction, was of great benefit and ensured that we were able to purchase the property for a price safely within our budget. We would have no hesitation in recommending you as an agent to anyone else selling property in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Very many thanks once again.
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for D’Leanne Lewis. D’ Leanne recently sold our home in North Bondi, which we also happen to purchase from her 6 years earlier. We always found her to be extremely professional, helpful and, above all honest in all our dealings and always willing to go the “extra mile” to get things done. Her knowledge of the market was extremely thorough and helped to attract the correct purchasers for our home. She provided us with a very realistic valuation of our property, particularly in a market where agents are known for “over quoting” and thus helped to set a realistic expectation of price with potential buyers too. As a result we were ecstatic with the result achieved at the auction as well as the way the entire process was handled. D’Leanne’s advice on getting our house ready for the selling campaign was excellent and she helped us focus on the positives of the property. She always made herself available to us and to potential buyers, bringing them through the property outside of viewing times. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using D’Leanne again and would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling a property.
We would like to thank D'Leanne Lewis for her amazing work in selling our house. After an unpleasant and inefficient experience with agents in the past D'Leanne came highly recommended to us by a good friend and I can only say, she didn't disappoint. From the first initial meeting D'Leanne was honest, direct and always professional. This combined with her warm personality made us feel at ease at all times and took the stress out of selling our family home. The greatest difference in dealing with D'Leanne compared to other agents was her exceptional open line of communication with us as the vendors. She always kept us very well informed throughout the whole sales process, made it transparent for us and the result speaks for itself. We sold before auction at a great price. This result was due to her diligence, efficiency and dedication and without a doubt would we sell through her again!
We live in Melbourne and with a property to sell in Sydney, did not have a clue about Sydney real estate agents. Fortunately, some of our Sydney friends had recent property sales and gladly recommended D'Leanne Lewis to us. We met D'Leanne at my mother's house to get her ideas for a sales campaign. It was immediately obvious that she was the right person for the job at hand and her vision of what would become a successful campaign was all we could hope for. D'Leanne was genuinely excited by the prospect of having our property to sell, and set about arranging all the things that needed to be done but that we could not do from Melbourne. We were impressed by the constant updates and progress reporting, leading to the eventual sale at a price we were more than happy with. D'Leanne always kept us "in the loop" and her incisive and timely suggestions and guidance meant that we were always in the best position to make the right decision at the right time.Thank you again, D’Leanne for a job superbly done.
These words are a small token of appreciation for a truly remarkable sales result. D’Leanne Lewis achieved a record result for Hastings Parade, in an astonishingly short time. I found her determination and professionalism remarkable. With pre-budget market uncertainty D’Leanne’s accuracy in client selection was unbelievable. The property sold in 48 hours of being listed for a price well above expectations.. My initial doubts of first meeting and outlining of procedures involved in pre-sale discussion were dispelled immediately by her confident, efficient and pleasant approach. D’Leanne is a gem and I hold no reservation in supplying this testimonial nor in recommending her to any prospective client. She is an exceptional real estate agent, honest, trustworthy and totally committed. A Sincere Thank You.
A few months ago it became imperative to sell my home. Prior to engaging in a sales campaign I interviewed a lot of estate agents specialising in the area and decided on D’leanne Lewis for the following reasons:- Her bright and effervescent disposition Lack of pressure tactics Genuine interest and commitment Knowledge of the local area Her personal track record Promise of up to the minute communication Backing of her agency & support staff Preparedness to challenge my thinking with substantiated information To complicate matters D’Leanne was dealing with a sensitive matter relating to my personal life and I found her at all times to be totally discreet and able to maintain total confidentiality. In the end the result she returned was greater than expected and because of my satisfaction with her professionalism asked her also to handle the sale of an investment property in Paddington. She attend to this in her normal professional and effervescent way and this sale closed at auction and because of her ability , she once again achieved for me a greater than expected outcome. Having written this it begs asking the question. …Would I use D’Leanne again either to buy or sell property… ABSOLUTELY YES!
We recently sold our house through D’Leanne Lewis of Laing & Simmons Double Bay. D’Leanne's energy, passion and commitment throughout the entire process was extraordinary. She made herself available almost 24/7 and nothing at all was too much trouble. We received constant updates from D'Leanne and she was always able to provide pragmatic advice but still take on board our views. She always maintained a cool and calm approach even during stressful situations. We certainly felt D'Leanne was 150% committed to our sale and did not take her foot off the accelerator until the contract was signed. We would be happy to recommend D’Leanne Lewis.
There’s no doubt that when I decided D’Leanne Lewis was going to sell my family home, I had unwittingly chosen the most conscientious, diligent real estate agent in the Eastern Suburbs. Clearly, she understood that the property had been my much-loved home for over 20 years and so selling it was going to be difficult for me. D’Leanne empathised and respected that fact in the way she handled the inspections and looked after my home. From the onset, I was impressed with her professionalism and energy. In her weekly updates, that were candid and realistic, it was clear that she had an incredible understanding of the market - a product of being in the game for a good deal of time. In addition, D’Leanne would email through newspaper or magazine articles that she had researched on the state of the market so I could keep updated and informed.D’Leanne achieved the desired outcome. She remained true to her word on that journey and I will be forever grateful for her tenacity and honesty. I consider her a friend . And I have already recommended D’Leanne to all my family and friends. A truly wonderful agent! Second to none! Thanks again D’Leanne
I have known D’Leanne Lewis for many years and have always known her to have the highest level of integrity. When making the decision to sell the family home, I did some research to ensure that I was able to get the best price in the market as that is what every seller wants. After consulting people in the know, it was obvious that D’Leanne was the perfect candidate for the Eastern Suburbs. But nothing could have prepared me for the level of professionalism and skill that she showed in selling our home. Right from the start, she made sure that the home was presented in the best possible manner for marketing purposes and potential buyers. Her whole team that she works with is a pleasure to deal with and they are so helpful and considerate. Her communication with sellers and ourselves was exceptional and her skill at understanding how to get the best out of potential buyers was legendary. Her understanding of the market is mind blowing and her ability to deal with potential buyers is brilliant. We were extremely fortunate to have her on our side as she was able to sell the house prior to taking the house to auction. Her skill and experience allowed us to get a result that could not have been achieved without her. I would strongly advise and recommend that anybody that wants to buy or sell real estate deal with her as there is no one that could perform at this level. She works seriously long hours, operates at the highest level of professionalism and has mastered the whole process from start to finish
I have just completed the third and most important sale with D’Leanne Lewis as my agent. My first experience of D’Leannes ability and tireless work ethic was back in 2004 and then followed again with another engagement in 2012 and now in 2015. All three results were beyond expectation and all three in very different markets with different challenges. D’Leanne’s ability to identify the current day market challenges and tailor the campaign to extract the best possible price is what sets her apart. Her experience and knowhow coupled with a very extensive data base makes her the first choice when selling my properties. Its also testament that I have recommended her not just to friends but also to family. Something I have no hesitation in doing. As a parting word I would say that D’Leanne will make the entire selling process less stressful, keep you completely updated, put in extraordinary hours and most importantly pleasantly surprise on the upside with the result.
After living in the same home for 20 years my husband and I were recommended to D’Leanne by a good friend of ours who had also used D’Leanne to sell her home – with great success. We found D'Leanne Lewis to be a true professional from the start of the process until the finish. She made herself available to answer any questions that we had (no matter how trivial!) and always responded promptly to any queries (even late at night). She was also the voice of reason during the sales campaign when I felt a bit overwhelmed, nervous and anxious. She always had time to talk me through my concerns and provided me with some much needed humour at times when it was needed to calm my nerves. D'Leanne, people say you are one of the best at what you do. What they don’t always see is how kind you are, how patient you are with your clients and how you are always happy to go the extra mile – even when it is not asked for. This not only makes you the best, it also make you a very special person. Thank you for all you have done for us. Thank you for going the “extra mile” and getting us more money than we could have hoped for our home. You pushed the price to way above what we would have sold for and you made sure that we always knew that you were looking after us…not just wanting a “ quick sale”. We will always be grateful to you and your team. You are truly outstanding agents and we would have no hesitations in recommending you as THE agent to sell your property.
I refer to our successful sale and wish to extend my gratitude and appreciation for the manner in which the sale process was conducted and in particular to the high level of consultation, service and dedication that you provided. I was especially pleased to receive your ongoing written reports in relation to the progress of the inspections and your evaluations of the level of interest. Your experience and dedication provided great comfort to us and contributed to us obtaining a result that greatly surpassed our expectations. Thank you once again for a job well done.
D’Leanne Lewis recently completed a highly successful campaign for the sale of our terrace house in Paddington. She at all times was courteous, professional and reliable. Her advice was incisive based on an informed assessment of all the current market conditions. D’Leanne has an effervescent disposition and is always giving 100% commitment to the sale of her properties. We would recommend her warmly and without reservation.
I have found D’Leanne Lewis to be an outstanding real estate agent. Unlike her competitors who never followed up after visiting my house and never returned phone calls, from the start D’Leanne understood my needs and expectations. She is very open and honest about what to expect throughout the process of selling a house and of the current market. She is very professional and not at all pushy. I was extremely happy with the outcome and sale of two houses in two weeks meeting above market expectations for both in what is supposed to be a recessed market.
We bought and sold with D’Leanne and on both counts found her and her team to be completely professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with. We were away when our home was photographed and the marketing material compiled and we were confident we had left the work in extremely capable hands. Far from being stressful, our buying and selling was extremely easy and we wouldn’t hesitate to use D’Leanne and her team again. Thanks also for making the transition to our new home so effortless.
D’Leanne Lewis and Patrick Moxey come with our highest recommendation following the recent sale of our house. We engaged D’Leanne after having purchased a property that she was selling and therefore witnessing her selling abilities and negotiation style first hand. We could not fault any aspect of the sale process – from the sales strategy and marketing campaign devised for our house to the commitment D’Leanne and Patrick demonstrated to achieving the optimum outcome for us. In a real estate market environment described by one leading economic commentator as “moribund” the campaign achieved a phenomenal level of interest in our property and a good sale price. D’Leanne and Patrick were a pleasure to have representing our property – their professional style and warm, engaging manner coupled with their honest assessments and advice were greatly appreciated. We were always kept up-to-date with the status of interested parties and any significant changes in circumstances enabling us to make an informed decision at which point to sell.
I recently commissioned D’Leanne to dispose of a redundant investment property of mine. The campaign and sale was handled with extreme efficiency by D’Leanne at every point along the way. Perhaps the greatest attribute of D’Leanne however was the exceptional communication undertaken with me as a vendor every step of the way. I was kept highly informed and in the loop in at all times, remarkably a paramount quality missing from some other agencies I have dealt with over the years. So if you’re after an efficient and highly communicative team to sell your property, look no further, I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the tremendous effort you put into selling our house. I was impressed with your unstinting enthusiasm over the weeks and months – when others would have given up believing it impossible to achieve such a good price. Obviously, I will be recommending you to my neighbours & friends and wish you every success in your career.
We first had the pleasure of dealing with D’Leanne 2 years ago when we purchased what is soon to be our new home in Bellevue Hill. At that time we found her to be a talented, committed real estate professional. As the building works neared completion at Bellevue Hill and we prepared to sell our current house in Woollahra we had many notable agents offer their services but we knew in our hearts that D’Leanne was the one. We are pleased to report that she was just as wonderful to deal with as a vendor as she had been when we were purchasers. With the property market falling we were concerned we may have a difficult time selling our home but D’Leanne’s clear, concise and constant communication kept our fears at bay. Her empathy and positive attitude was invaluable and indeed she found our buyer! Nothing was ever too much trouble for D’Leanne and we have no doubt that it was her warm personality, sheer professionalism and extensive knowledge of the local market that secured us a sale price that we are very happy with. We have already recommended her to others and if we ever move again it will definitely be her that we call on. Thanks D’Leanne!/p>
This is just a brief letter to express my appreciation for the commitment and dedication you showed in relation to achieving a sale of our properties. We were particularly aware of the effort that was required on your part to achieve successful sales of both properties. We were particularly impressed with the way in which you continually kept us up to date with the progress on each sale and the statues of the prospective purchasers. It is a credit to you that you were able to achieve sales of both properties at an amount that we were pleased with. Thank you once again for all of your efforts in relation to the sale and we would have no hesitation in appointing you to assist in any future sales of property that we may have.
We recently sold our house through D’Leanne Lewis of Laing & Simmons Double Bay. D’Leanne was available to us at all times and nothing at all was too much trouble. We were fully prepared prior to the advertising campaign and were updated continuously throughout the sales period. We would be happy to recommend D’Leanne Lewis, she is very much a “sellers” representative working extremely hard to achieve the best possible result for her clients.
After very little success with our first agent, we realised just how crucial the choice of our second agent would be. We heard great things about D'Leanne and thought we should have her on our side. After speaking with several agents we knew she was the one. Her experience, her style, her attitude and her ability to stay calm in all situations made us feel completely at ease. Without a doubt I will continue to have her as my agent in the future. If you are looking for an agent who knows how to get the job done, without question this is D'Leanne Lewis.
D’Leanne Lewis has acted for our company over the past few years, regarding the purchase and sale of our properties. On every occasion D’Leanne has kept us fully informed at all times regarding potential purchasers and has supplied us with weekly written updates. We have been delighted with D’Leanne’s professionalism, her straightforward approach and her lovely manner. She is a high calibre specialist. We have no hesitation in recommending her real estate specialities and experience.
We recently sold our home through D’Leanne Lewis. We found her the most helpful efficient and obliging person, with whom it was a real pleasure to be associated with. We’re hoping her good work will be appreciated, with who she will be dealing in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending her to our friends and family.
We would like to thank you for the recent successful sale of our home. It was not an easy decision for us to sell our home and we found it extremely easy to share our personal issues with you. We are grateful for the caring and sensitive way you handled our sale. While we are very pleased with the sale price, it is your professionalism and talent that we would praise most highly to any prospective seller. We still cannot believe how stress-free the process was and for that we are most grateful. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone selling their home.
We would like to thank D’Leanne for all her efforts and dedication in selling our family home in Rose Bay in 2014 and subsequently our unit in Darling Point in 2015 D’Leanne acted very professionally and diligently throughout the sale process providing us with detailed reports and up to date genuine feedback from prospective buyers. D’Leanne took a lot of the stress away from us by using her expert negotiation and people skills, whilst keeping a good sense of humour + enthusiasm for the duration of the campaign. D’Leanne showed unflagging energy and commitment: selling our apartment prior to auction after business hours late at night (at 11:30pm!) in order to obtain exchanged contracts. We would thoroughly recommend D’Leanne’s services – a true professional!
I would like to thank you for being such a “special and lovely lady”. Thank you for looking after me and my interests. Your gifts of patience, empathy, professionalism, intelligence were also matched by your caring nature. In the cut throat business world, I was very lucky to find you. I sincerely appreciate your kind words of support, encouragement as well as your gifts. Hopefully we will find a new nest for me in the near future. Sincere Thanks from the Heart.
After 23 years raising our 3 children in our home it was time to downsize. I met D'Leanne when I was looking at other properties and invited her to do an appraisal of our house. I found her extremely engaging and was very impressed with her professional approach and knowledge of the market. Our solicitor, who was working with D'Leanne on another sale, recommended her highly, saying that she works very hard for her clients and never gives up. She was certainly right. In a very difficult market D'Leanne achieved a very good result for us about 3 weeks after auction through her relentless perseverence, calm confidence and "never give up" attitude. Her communication with us throughout the process was fantastic and I was amazed by her energy. She always made me feel like we were her only clients even though I knew she was managing a number of properties. I felt D'Leanne was always totally committed to achieving the best result for us and am very glad we chose her to sell our home. I am very happy to recommend D'Leanne and won't hesitate to engage her again.
My wife and I recently sold our home through you agency at Double Bay. We engaged your firm and a young lady, Ms D’Leanne Lewis, through a recommendation of a near-by neighbour. It is easy to understand that after having lived here for 38 years, we needed someone special, someone who knew the real estate values in this area. Miss Lewis is a very intelligent young lady, one who possesses a great personality, is a great communicator and explains all facets of negotiations right down to the finest detail. You have a very well run organization with a great commander in Miss Lewis. My wife and I would personally like to thank Miss Lewis for her personal assistance and guidance. Finally, our sincere good wishes to the young family who purchased our home. We trust they will be as happy as we have been over all these years. Thank you Laing & Simmons. Thank you D’Leanne.
Once again D'Leanne Lewis of Laing + Simmons has outdone my expectations. She is thorough, meticulous, and concise. She manages to achieve the outcome through calm diligence and a vast knowledge of the residential property market. D’Leanne has excellent experience (and patience) in negotiating through complex circumstances. She is also smart and intuitive and benefits from compassion, which she has consistently shown to my family throughout this sale and also our last sale in Dover Heights. She earns and deserves the title of the Best Real Estate Agent in the Eastern Suburbs. Did I mention THANK YOU!!!
D’Leanne Lewis sold our home in February of this year. Throughout the campaign we found her to be extremely professional as well as very personable. Her advice was, at all times, extremely well thought out and we felt that she always had our best interests at heart. D’Leanne has the very rare ability to liaise between both vendor and purchaser in an effective and efficient manner and is reliable, enthusiastic and has an excellent knowledge of the state of the market, which we found absolutely essential, especially throughout the lead-up to the auction, which led us to achieve $300,000 over our reserve on the auction night. We would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in using D’Leanne again and would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling a property.
D’Leanne Lewis has been associated with Mrs Lewis and I for the past 3 months in the preparation and subsequent sale of our residence at Rose Bay. The successful result was due to her diligence, efficiency and professional attitude to her occupation. Her courteous and charming attitude to her staff and prospective purchasers had a great bearing on the final result…and to answer your question – no she is NOT related to me!
I was introduced to D’Leanne by a friend who had recently sold her house in Vaucluse. From the moment I met D’Leanne in our home I knew that I would enjoy dealing with her. She was extremely positive, calm and very professional. She had a very thorough knowledge of the market, and I could tell was very intuitive when dealing with people. We wanted to get the house to auction prior to the Easter holidays which meant we had a very short window of opportunity to get the marketing program under way. Although D’Leanne made everything seem so effortless and efficient I knew that she and her support team were obviously working very hard to make things happen so quickly for us. Given that we were selling our property in a very unstable market I was extremely impressed at how she was able to manage the expectations of both the buyers, and ourselves as sellers, in order to achieve a very good result at the actual auction. Throughout the whole selling process D’Leanne constantly kept us up-to-date with any potential buyers through very detailed reports. Even after the auction I have really appreciated D’Leanne’s wisdom and knowledge to bounce ideas off. D’Leanne is an absolute delight, incredibly professional, dedicated, and also fun to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
D'Leanne, you are a star, very professional with an amazing ability to handle both your buyers and sellers. You are diligent, impressive with your knowledge of the market and of buyers and also gave us sage advice all the way through the campaign…without stressing us out! Thank you and your wonderful staff for achieving a sale for us before auction. It was a pleasure having you as our agent. We will recommend you to all our friends who want to buy or sell.
My wife and I were so impressed with the professionalism, service and advice which we received from Ms Lewis that we both fell compelled to provide this testimonial. D’Leanne was always both personable and pleasant. D’Leanne’s contacts and knowledge of the relevant market within which our property was advertised meant that she was able to generate an exceptional number of prospective purchasers to inspect our home. D’Leanne ensured that every person who attended the open for inspections was treated courteously and as a serious prospective purchaser. There was tremendous exposure of our home provided by the advertising and special editorials which D’Leanne had organized. D’Leanne has obviously generated a loyal following both amongst vendors and purchasers. D’Leanne is a rare person in the property market. She is trustworthy and honest, as well as exceptionally professional and diligent in all aspects of the service which she provides. When D’Leanne assures you that she is applying 100% of her effort at all times, she delivers what she promises. D’Leanne’s advice extended to very pragmatic recommendations from the time of our initial meeting to final auction. Her sensible advice assisted in reducing the stress and anxiety which is often associated with any auction. Her recommendations were reliable and assisted us in obtaining the best possible price for our property. We were always impressed by D’Leanne’s genuineness, competence, professionalism and ability. We had complete faith in D’Leanne and were rewarded with a magnificent price for the sale of our home. We both commend D’Leanne as an agent of exceptional standards, commitment and demeanour.
I first met D’Leanne 3 years ago when I initially expressed interest in selling my property. At that time I was very impressed with her helpful, friendly manner and the professional approach that she had to her job. Although at that time I decided not to sell, she subsequently kept me very well informed of market trends and sales in the area. She displayed a great deal of patience and I never felt pressured to sell. I had not hesitation in choosing D’Leanne as my selling agent when I finally decided to sell. During the selling campaign, D’Leanne worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to secure a sale at the best possible price. Her advertising campaign was excellent and at every stage she kept me informed of the progress of the sale. She was always very reliable. I found D’Leanne to possess a very pleasant, friendly manner. She is an excellent communicator and was confident and positive in her approach at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending D’Leanne to anyone considering selling their property.
I have known D’Leanne Lewis for some 15 years having worked with her professionally in the past, with her selling our last home in Bondi Beach about 12 years ago. When we came to selling my mother’s home, she was the only person I thought of to take on the task of marketing the property. She is someone who has years of experience and she understands her market exceptionally well. She explained the selling process clearly at the outset, organised the best marketing campaign for the property and made sure to keep me informed at each step, of the progress of the sale. As a result, she was able to secure and excellent outcome - in a difficult market – and got us $250,000 above our reserve. I would definitely highly recommend her to anyone selling a home, and will definitely use her in the future with further property dealings.
Selling your home is such a big decision in so many ways. D’leanne invested so much time in us in the pre-marketing phase that we felt we knew her very well by the time we launched the full campaign. The thing that impressed us most was her honesty and transparency in all her dealings. Importantly, she listened to us and respected our views. She did what she promised she would and was on call 24/7 to take our calls and provide us with much needed advice. We were delighted with the way she handled the campaign and the result she achieved and would not hesitate to recommend her to all our friends and family. Thank you once again for a job well done!
in which you handled the sale of our house. We have felt complete confidence in you from the first time we met, and we were always sure you had our best interests at heart. We have been singularly impressed by your professionalism. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of selling their home and would definitely use you again in any future sale; in the meantime, we are hoping to use your expertise in buying our next house! Thank you again for everything you have done for us.
Recently, with several of our adult children living away from home we made the difficult decision to change our lifestyle which meant selling our family home of twenty five years. D’Leanne Lewis was recommended to us by friends who, not long before us, had made a similar decision. In order to achieve the best sales result D’Leanne advised us to auction our home. Initially we were sceptical about the possible outcome and indeed the whole process; imagining it to be intrusive and stressful. Through their professionalism and empathy D’Leanne and her team proved that it can be a stress free yet effective way to sell your property. Following a three week campaign with well managed inspections and targeted multi media advertising D’Leanne ensured that the buyers who were genuinely interested in buying our property attended and bid at the auction. Having sold property previously we know this does not always happen. The superb result achieved exceeded our expectations and also previous prices for similar properties in our area. Thank you D’Leanne for the great result and a “stress free” selling experience. Thank you also for all your hard work and for the great result you achieved. We always felt comfortable working with you and supremely confident in your ability to get the result we wanted. We also now know who to call when buying or selling property in the eastern suburbs. Again, well done!
Bill and I would like to thank you for your fantastic work in selling our property. Before I met you I was concerned I was going to take a bath in the current market, but I’d heard amazing things about you and, of course, seen the awards you had won. I was certain if anyone could do it, you could. You convinced us to list our property quietly and see if you could find us any takers. You did. Within two days. My husband and I were so impressed with the way you handled everything. I can’t believe you were sitting in our dining room two weeks after our first meeting with a deposit cheque in your hand. And one that exceeded our expectations! I think my husband is still dealing with the shock. Thank you again, your professionalism and diligence was above par. I wish everything were that easy.
D’Leanne you immediately understood the soul of our much loved home. Your assessment went to the heart of what the house had to offer. The value you put on our home reflected a vision beyond room numbers and the size of the land. You were able to identify the romance and the spirit that our home had infused in everybody who has admired it over the years. Your sensitivity combined with your extremely disciplined approach to the entire marketing process with a support team carried and infused by your amazing spirited and positive energy, took us on a very professional and exciting journey. As the Architect for the home it was important for me to know that the new owners would value the love that went into creating this home and the love Freda, put into decorating it with me. You were able to connect with people who appreciated the qualities the home had to offer. The final price you achieved at auction reflected very much what we hoped the house would be worth if purchased through the heart. You remained very professional yet personal and personable throughout the process. You kept us well informed and allowed us to feel completely involved every step of the way. It is a credit to you to have both a happy seller as well as a happy buyer. Our 24 years of wonderful experiences with the home were certainly capped off by what you were able to deliver in both the sales journey as well as the final auction result. Thank you D’Leanne.
My family and I have been involved with property for many years. We have dealt with various agents with mixed results. In the last year we have been dealing exclusively with D’Leanne Lewis of Laing & Simmons, Double Bay. Ms Lewis has marketed a number of properties for our family in this period. All the properties were sold. During this time we have found D’Leanne to be professional, articulate, knowledgeable and honest. She has always applied the utmost effort to realising the maximum price for a property, without inflating or deflating our expectations. Ms Lewis makes herself available at any time, is punctual and returns phone calls promptly. I would have no reservation in recommending D’Leanne to anyone who was seeking an agent that not only achieves results but is a pleasure to deal with.
Thank you for the outstanding way you handled the sale of our home. At all times you worked as a true professional, said what you said you would do, never lost your cool, guided us, and worked in our very best interests. Your tactical and logical skills were meticulously thought out and impeccably executed. Your negotiation abilities were stand-out. Its really nice to deal with someone with so much integrity and honesty. We are quite certain that the end result achieved by you, could not have been achieved by any other eastern suburbs agent. Thank you again, and we look forward to working with you, hopefully in the very near future.
D’Leanne Lewis is a legend! She was born with a ‘real estate gene” coursing through her veins. D’Leanne sold our house in Epping Road for a record price for the street - and within only 5 days of listing it!! She came in, gave us sound advice as to how the property was to be decorated and nursed us through the anxiety of putting our furniture in storage, while she made the house look as good as it could be – to ensure we got the best price. AND WE DID!! We are so pleased we took her sage advice. She is thoroughly professional, helpful and approachable at all times – with an excellent sense of humour which kept us calm in the lead up to the start of the campaign. We cannot recommend D’Leanne highly enough and we were very fortunate to have such an experienced, genuine, caring and multi-faceted agent on our side to guide us. Thank you again D’Leanne. You are one in a million.
I decided to make a sea change early in 2008. We listed our Vaucluse property with D’Leanne as the sub-prime crises was starting to hit the global markets. She helped us to set a positive “starting asking price” in order to develop buyer interest. Many opportunistic buyers circled, however D’Leanne moved selling price expectations up as buyer interest firmed up. All through the process, D’Leanne ensured that we were not “panicked” and also further ensured that we stuck to our game plan until the right buyer emerged. She then managed the final price up to what she thought the maximum the buyer would pay. From the day we employed D’Leanne, she worked diligently and consistently over 3 months to ensure we got the best result. D’Leanne always kept us up to date with all progress and I never felt out of touch with what was going on…and this was a blessing. Looking back I am really glad I choose D’Leanne, because when the pressure is on only champions succeed.
I am writing to convey my sincere thanks for the assistance that you provided in relation to the sale of my aunt’s home. The sale price that we realised was above our expectations and I believe it was achieved primarily as a result of the professionalism and skill you exhibited in marketing this property. I would firstly like to voice my appreciation for the considerate and friendly manner you demonstrated in the various personal meetings you had with my aunt. The property had been her home for over 50 years and she held many cherished memories from her life there. Naturally it was a very emotional time for her and the manner in which you dealt with her questions and concerns greatly helped her at this stressful time and provided her with reassurance and the confidence that she was making the correct decision. I found your counsel throughout the process to be invaluable. The advice you provided at each stage of the sales process, from your initial advice on optimum time to sell through to advice on a marketing strategy, presentation of the property and finally your conviction that the auction process would provide the best result, proved to be spot on and further demonstrated your knowledge and understanding of the real estate market. I was also reassuring to know that you were always on call to answer queries and provide advice and your practice of providing regular unsolicited updates was most appreciated. At all times I felt that I was kept fully informed and was completely confident everything was being done to further the best interests of my aunt. Once again D’Leanne, I would like to compliment you on the professionalism and skill you demonstrated and thank you for your friendly help and support throughout the process.
Our family would like to thank you for the excellent management of the marketing campaign of our family home. We found you to be extremely professional and personal in your approach. You were very proactive with all potential buyers and kept us well informed of results of inspections and genuine feedback from the potential buyers, right to our successful sale on auction night, where we achieved well above our reserve…in no short measure due to your excellent & dedicated efforts. We are well pleased with the result and look forward to working with you again in the in the future.
Recently, we wanted to sell our home in Vaucluse…We chose D’Leanne Lewis…she came to us highly recommended and we soon found out why. Her pleasing personality, ability to handle prospective buyers, knowledge of the market, personal interest in every aspect of the sale and efficiency in handling the smaller details were beyond expectations. It was a pleasure to do business with her….
Thank you for all the hard work your team and yourself put in to get us a great result in selling 20 Oceanview Ave Vaucluse. After listing it with another agency and receiving offers well below our expectations, it was a great relief to hear your honest estimation of what our home was worth – and a realistic time frame in which to sell it. We sold it within 4 weeks of listing it with you and to someone on your database, as you had promised. What a fantastic result D’Leanne – and for a whopping $250,000 over what our previous agent was able to get! I have no hesitation in recommending you and your team at to any potential client wishing to sell or buy a property at an honest market rate. This was our home and we are sad to see it go, but we are happy you prospered amongst the obstacles. Thank you for selling our home.
We would like to thank you your incredible efforts, both in the sale of our property (28 Olola Avenue, Vaucluse) 3 years ago & our recent sale (25 New South Head Road, Vaucluse). On both occasions we felt very well looked after & the process of selling remained completely stress-free for us both due to your expertise & your caring nature. Although this testimonial has been a long-time coming it is sent to you with much appreciation for a job well done! You kept us informed at all times of what was going on & the results (especially considering the time-frame in which they were achieved both times) have been ‘beyond the expected’ as promised. You are an absolute pleasure to work with, we would recommend you to anyone considering the sale of their property (and do!) & hope to do business with you again in the future.
Firstly congratulations on a job well done! Both Robyn & I are extremely happy with the result achieved at the auction. The entire promotion was conducted extremely well, the number of parties attracted by the intense coverage was extremely satisfying which reflected on the number of parties present in the auction room. Our $$ target was set at a high level, which was exceeded on the night….which was certainly a very pleasant result!! We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of yourself to our friends and family
We recently sold our home in Vaucluse. From the very beginning, through to a successful conclusion, D’Leanne provided exceptional service and high quality advice. She kept us constantly informed throughout the inspection process, so we were always aware of the level of interest in our property. She was thoroughly professional in managing all aspects of our sale and presented our property with great care, skill and style. D’Leanne has a thorough knowledge & understanding of the real estate market and a unique ability to devise and execute an effective strategy. We were particularly impressed when an interested party from interstate inspected our property and was not familiar with the area. She spent a couple of hours driving him around and showing him the delightful spots around Vaucluse & Watsons Bay. I think this demonstrates her dedication and 100% commitment to get the best results for her clients.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for the excellent result you achieved with the sale of our house in Vaucluse. Prior to appointing you we obtained estimated sales prices from several agents. If we compare those prices quoted with what you achieved we are delighted to say that we are substantially better off. What a great achievement. Thank you, D’Leanne. This was our first sale. Therefore we were heavily reliant on your good advice, which you had plenty of. We appreciated your regular and timely follow-ups and keeping us informed about the developments. When it all came to a close it was natural that we got very tense. Your calm and ensuring way (of handling everything) helped us tremendously. So did the fact that you managed to sell the house prior to auction. We would also like to express our appreciation to your subcontractors, particularly your gardener and Interior Designer, who did excellent jobs to show our home at its best. Last but not least thank you to your reliable and always friendly team at your office. You delivered on your promise in all aspects. We would highly recommend you to any potential client.
We write to confirm the reality of having dealt with you during the recent sale of our above beloved property. Having bought before we sold, you took the pressure away with your confidence, advice and a swift sale before auction. Having confidently and accurately valued our house you achieved a very close and fair price with excellent negotiating skills. Yours sales strategy, market knowledge and professionalism were accurate and in fact faultless. You always returned our calls promptly and your friendly upbeat manner always made us feel that nothing was a problem. You should take pride in the fact that not only are you very very good at what you do, you are clearly at the top of your field. Thank you so much for your help and hard work…we will be working together again.

We just wanted to thank you for your efforts in making a difficult situation, what with us living in Queensland at the time of the sale, a comparative breeze. Given the soft market conditions at the time and the fact that we were not on hand on a regular basis you managed to instil in us total confidence in your ability to handle the sale and your firm grasp of market conditions in the area. Throughout the whole process you demonstrated total professionalism and dedication to the tasks at hand as well as demonstrating excellent communication and reporting skills. You always made yourself available and kept us fully informed at all times. It was also a pleasure dealing with such a positive and delightful person. Once again, D’Leanne, many thanks for a job well done and for your help and support throughout the sales process.
This is just a short note in appreciation of the excellent way that D’Leanne Lewis handled the sale of our house in Vaucluse. She was always kind and understanding towards we old fogies, under a certain amount of strain at leaving their home after 30 years. For this we thank her very much.
We recently decided to sell our property in Vaucluse and our first thoughts were to call D’Leanne Lewis as we had 4 years previously bought our house through her and had found her to be very discreet and honourable. In selling our house, she conducted herself with extreme professionalism, thoughtfulness and care. Her knowledge of the current market was excellent. We have subsequently bought our new home again through her and we can truly say that D’Leanne has the utmost integrity, puts in 100% effort and is completely trustworthy. We feel with all these attributes plus a very pleasing personality we would have confidence in highly recommending her to anyone wishing to sell their home. Once again “thank you so much, D’Leanne.
3 weeks & it was sold , 3 weeks of little stress in terms of the Process in selling ones family home, due in principal to D’Leanne. As I have said, and this sums up my view on the matter to any prospective seller, “Even if the property was not sold , I would still recommend D’Leanne Lewis “. She makes the process easier to cope with & is on the same page as the sellers. Thank you once again D’Leanne for a job very well done!
I have known D’Leanne Lewis for about 16 years, since she sold our first cottage for us in Watson’s Bay. More recently she sold our house in Coolong Road, Vaucluse and I could not wish for a better agent. D’Leanne, ably helped by her fabulous team, is hard working, always available, accurate in her assessment of the market forces at play and hugely knowledgeable. She is creative in her thinking, and if she has pre-sale suggestions to make to tweak the appearance of a house it is a good idea to follow them. In addition she is invariably good-humoured and avoids the pushiness that can make real estate dealings so unpleasant. She works tirelessly to get the outcome the client hopes for but is honest when she feels that this is an unrealistic goal. In summary, both D’Leanne is an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who wants the best price for their home and a great agent - who they can trust - to do it for them!
We are writing to thank you for the superb way in which you handled the sale of our house. From the moment we first spoke to you we felt that you were truly listening to us and had our best interests at heart. Selling a house can be extremely stressful for the vendors but your sensitivity, warmth and calm reassurance allowed us to feel quite relaxed about the whole process. At the same time we never doubted your efficiency, absolute dedication or your professional approach and we are extremely grateful to you. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of selling their home and would definitely use you again in any future house sale. In the meantime we are hoping to use your incredible knowledge of the market in buying our next house! Thank you again for everything you have done for us.
It is relatively easy to find a great real estate agent in a strong market. It is certainly more challenging to find a great agent, possessing that rare level of skill and expertise, in more difficult times. D'Leanne Lewis is certainly one such agent and we feel very lucky to have chosen her to sell our home. She possesses a degree of determination and unrelenting optimism that is both comforting for the vendor and inspiring for any potential purchasers. As our agent, D'Leanne was at all times highly professional and unfailingly positive, friendly and accessible. She always took the time to explain how and why she chose the particular marketing strategy for our home and despite selling in a supposedly 'sluggish' market, she managed to deftly bridge the gap between our expectations and the market realities, so that we were satisfied with the result. Most importantly, she demonstrated superb negotiating skills. We continue to be delighted by the strong relationship that was developed during the marketing campaign and her service has not stopped simply because the sale is complete. D'Leanne continues to happily touch base with us, offering us her time, research skills and expert opinion on any variety of real estate questions we have as we embark on buying our next home. Such generosity (she may as well have become our de facto buyers agent!) is truly appreciated.
We chose D'Leanne because she was a good balance of realistic and optimistic with a good plan to deliver the result and she clearly wanted to do the best for the vendor , as opposed to an easy sell. Our decision was subsequently proved right as the process ran its course , as D'Leanne never lost her positive balance, despite the normal ups and downs of a sale process. Her attention to detail is world class, and demonstrates she is thinking about your project the whole time while juggling all the other balls in the air. Her judgement is excellent when it comes to buyer prospecting and closing the deal and is really good at bringing buyer and seller to the right decision , without compromising the positions of either party. All this is possible because she has the insight, determination, resilience and dedication coupled with a responsive and proactive attitude that engages everybody involved. She is also an easy person to deal with ,energetic , happy ,great sense of humour, no ego and very importantly knows how to get on with your pets! There are very few real estate agents who feel like a friend , D'Leanne is one of them, the complete package.
We have now sold 2 properties - and purchased 1 - through D’Leanne Lewis Both herself and her Company presents professionally throughout the process from engagement to finalisation. D’Leanne is truly a leader in her field, with a charm , intellect and savvy business head she is ever ready and willing to go the extra yard to ensure a successful outcome. Her honesty and consistency has been very evident from the first time we met her 9 years ago and still is the same now which is why we had no hesitation in choosing her to represent us in the sale of our home this year. I have been involved with several Realtors and several transactions and without a doubt in my mind - for our family the only Real Estate Agency we consider is Laing and Simmons and specifically D’Leanne Lewis Once again thanks D’Leanne and keep knocking em over!
I met D'Leanne at a very difficult time in my life, and immediately felt comfortable and confident in her not only as an agent, but as a friend. She kept in regular contact for many months prior to arranging the sale of the house, and went beyond the call of duty in order to arrange the sale. She was totally professional in every way, very informative, totally motivated to do the best she could for the property in a very difficult market. Her constant feedback, written reports, and attention to detail was greatly appreciated, and when she was away her staff who assisted in preparing the house for sale were very friendly and efficient. I would not hesitate in recommending D'Leanne to anyone looking for a special person to sell their home for them, and I look forward to doing business with D'Leanne again in the future.
I met D’Leanne when I was a buyer for an apartment in Carlisle street, 10years ago. Already back then she had all the qualities of an exceptional agent and I had great expectations when I was advised to appoint her. WELL… she exceeded all my expectations, and much more. She is a very approachable person, with high integrity (unusual in this industry some times) and most importantly she “thinks outside the box” D’Leanne kept me diligently informed after every open for inspection and every private inspection. She was constantly thinking of ways to improve the property’s perception of value and ensure that it was presented in the best possible light. She constantly updated me with her objectives & views to ensure we achieved a successful result. D’Leanne is a very positive, optimistic woman with strong negotiating skills. I would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of selling – that wants the best possible result –as I think she is the best in the business! Thank you again D’Leanne!
Kate and I wanted to write and tell how delighted we were with the way you conducted the sale of our house, 27 Fitzwilliam Rd, Vaucluse. To be honest, we thought of using another agent as we had never met you. My wife suggested we get an interview with you and we were so impressed with your knowledge and professionalism we changed our mind and signed up with Laing & Simmons after your presentation. From that moment on, nothing was too much trouble, you conducted the process without fuss – which was very much appreciated during this incredibly difficult time, and most importantly, you negotiated an awesome price before the first public open for inspection. If you sell your house through anyone else you are a bonehead! The service, the transparency and the negotiating ability was all the best we’d seen by a mile. Kate and I sincerely wish you continued success in your business, please feel free to use this reference.
We have dealt with several estate agents in the East over the years to purchase and sell property, but when it came to sell our family home of 32 years it was a very emotional decision. D'Leanne Lewis was handpicked to sell our home and it was indeed the right decision. D'Leanne made the entire experience seamless and gained the result that she promised. D'Leanne is a true professional in all areas of her profession. She gave us positive suggestions on how to best prepare the property for sale and communicated with us during the entire campaign and throughout the whole process she remained warm, friendly, honest and approachable and worked tirelessly to achieve an outstanding result D'Leanne is honest, hardworking, very determined and is incredibly knowledgeable ; her phenomenal sales records speak for themselves. She is truly a credit to her profession. We look forward to a long standing future association with D'Leanne and will certainly be recommending her to others.
My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting D’Leanne when she acted for the vendor of 14 Streatfield Road when we purchased the property. She conducted herself professionally and ethically at all times to ensure the vendor’s interest was paramount. When we decided to sell 14 Streatfield Road we were so impressed with D’Leanne that we contacted and appointed her to act for us. Our previous experience gave us the comfort to know that she would do her utmost to achieve the best result possible. We were not disappointed! Even through fairly difficult circumstances, D’Leanne and her team worked tirelessly, creatively and positively to generate interest in the property through a well constructed advertising and marketing campaign. D’Leanne was also proactive in suggesting and implementing marketing activity outside the normal channels to generate interest in the property. There is no doubt that D’Leanne and her team rank are at the top of their profession and will deliver the best possible result for anyone who commissions them. Again, thank you D’Leanne for working tirelessly when other agents would have simply “given up”.
Thank you, D’Leanne, for your discretion, consultation, optimism and attention to detail throughout the process of first selecting an agent and then the auctioning of our home. Throughout a difficult sales climate, you maintained that optimism with a quiet confidence that was borne out with a successful outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any potential client who wishes to employ a diligent, hardworking and, dare I say it, honest real estate agent!
Thank you very much, D’Leanne, for your help in selling our property. You were always very helpful, conscientious and thorough and kept us extremely well informed throughout the whole process. While you were professional at all times, you were also very friendly and easy to deal with. We were very pleased with the result and know it was in no small part due to your efforts.
Ð’Leanne has recently managed two property transactions for us with the most satisfactory results…….D’Leanne was most helpful, attentive and professional in managing both transactions, particularly as both the vendor and the purchaser were rather difficult to deal with and raised some problems along the way. The end result was most satisfactory to all parties and reflects D’Leanne’s patience and expertise. We will be eternally grateful for her skilful management and would have no hesitation in recommending her to prospective clients.
I feel compelled to write to express my sincere appreciation at the professionalism with which D’Leanne Lewis exhibited in the handling of the sale of my home. She presented herself as a confident young woman, without being pushy, who was honest with me at all times. I felt very confident in her abilities and was astounded at her care and consideration towards myself and my home. I never felt the common feeling of just a story from another estate agent. I was equally impressed by the follow through and attention to detail to both myself and the interested parties….D’Leanne left me feeling that I had not only sold my home satisfactory, but had also gained a friend. I would have not hesitation in recommending her to handle somone’s very important decision to sell or buy a home.
We recently sold our house through D’Leanne Lewis of Laing & Simmons Double Bay. D’Leanne did a great job helping us get our house ready for presentation. No task was too small to help us with. She worked tirelessly throughout the campaign and kept us informed at all times. We were very happy with the result, given the current market conditions and would have no hesitation recommending D’Leanne to all of our friends & family. Thank you again D’Leanne for a job really well done. You went over & above in ensuring we achieved the best possible result.
We found D'Leanne because she sold us a lovely apartment in Double Bay & also sold our house for us in Rose Bay a few weeks later , both for exactly the same figure! So easy & straightforward! When D’Leanne said it could be done, we didn’t really believe her – and 6 weeks later – she was true to her word. D'Leanne has been patient, always friendly, good natured & a true pleasure to deal with throughout both purchase of our new apartment and the sale of our home. She handled both property deals very cleverly & efficiently – and with minimum fuss to us! We would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell.
D'Leanne sold our house in December 2010 and I think she is an exceptional agent: committed, knowledgeable and professional to the end. She showed an admirable understanding of our needs and the changing market throughout the sales process. She was always considerate of my family constraints and meticulous with returning phone calls and providing feedback. The high level of service continued right through the settlement period. D'Leane is results driven and she worked in a challenging market to get us the sale we needed. We are very happily re-settled in the house D’Leanne also sold TO us and grateful to D'Leanne for this part she played in our lives.
D’Leanne Lewis was recommended to us as the best in the business and that advice proved to be spot on. We put our home on the market in mid 2012 when the Sydney market was considered very much a buyers market. But from the very first open, D’Leanne’s marketing strategy ensured that a good number of people moved through the house while at the same time keeping our tenants happy (and helpful to the process!). The sale in August 2012 was the first time we had sold a property through auction and that, combined with the slow market conditions and the fact that we were not in Australia at the time, made for fairly nervous clients. But D’Leanne kept us updated by phone and email every inch of the way and not once did we feel we needed to be there in person to oversee the process. As we were not there to see the property for ourselves, D’Leanne also took it upon herself to provide invaluable advice regarding ways to present the property. She then took the incredibly generous step of not just dispensing the advice but retained and supervised the third party services providers until they completed the works. The property sold well at auction and D’Leanne continued to stay in touch bridging the gaps between absent vendors, the buyers and the tenants. Not only was D'Leanne highly accessible and professional but a pleasure to deal with - we couldn’t have been in better hands.
Before I left for the United States I wanted to thank you for all your hard work, phone calls and patience in selling my mother’s house…You were truly a delight and our agents in the United States could learn a thing or two from your diligence and follow up, not to mention your caring. Your ability to quiet the fears of my very worried mother and, so mine, 12,000miles away are to be envied. You really came through… with 70 different people on the open days and obtaining a price which, in these times, was more than acceptable. Thank you again. You were a true professional and I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my or my mother’s friends who wish to sell their homes.
There is always one.... and we found her!!! I'm talking about D'Leanne Lewis - a pleasure to have around from our first discussions on "if we would sell" to that most important moment for us -- when the deal was done. We were lucky enough to find that real estate agent who made the sale of our home of nearly 30 years truly pleasant. Would we recommend her??? You bet!!!
We have worked together now for a total of about five years on the sale of this property, and finally, against great odds, we have finally sold it!! It has been a feat which has required dedication, teamwork, an accurate sense of timing, courage of conviction, depth of understanding of the market, and adeptness at handling human nature. You have demonstrated a professionalism in handling all of these and above all, you have demonstrated how not all agents are the same and some, like you, can actually be trusted!! Not only that, we've managed to laugh together through it all. I would highly recommend you to anyone seriously wanting to sell their property. And, by the way, I keep the diaries you send me every year in my handbag….they’re invaluable. Thankyou again for helping me through a very stressful process and making it a true pleasure to work with you.
We recently sold our house in Bellevue Hill through D'Leanne Lewis of Laing and Simmons Double Bay. She had been highly recommended by a good friend. We felt emotional about the sale after living in our wonderful house for 28 years. D'Leanne handled the process in a thoroughly professional manner - quickly - efficiently and at a price which we welcomed. I would recommend her services to anyone with no hesitation whatsoever. We are presently going through a buying process with her as well and admire her amazing patience and understanding.
I would like to thank you for the important role you played in the sale of 47 Fairfax Rd Bellevue Hill. At the outset you established a sales strategy refreshingly different to the other agents we considered and you also ensured that every detail of the marketing programme was effectively implemented. This was particularly apparent in the styling of the property and in the direction of the photography. Your candid weekly written reports were very helpful as they provided a thorough review of the buyers perceived strengths and weaknesses of the property and the main prospects to date. Above all when crunch time came you certainly demonstrated your considerable negotiating skills in concluding a good result prior to auction. We would certainly be happy to recommend your services to other property owners.
Often, the biggest anxiety about selling your home is not ‘how much?’, but ‘what then’? Where do you move to? We knew we wanted to sell - we just couldn’t imagine living someplace else. D’Leanne helped us answer that question, which helped us to sell and move on. Uniquely, she came to us with a plan that not only resulted in our house selling in 11 days but that also provided serious options for us to consider for our next home. She not only focused on the sale of our much-loved house, she put considerable effort into identifying properties for sale that excited us just as much. During the sales campaign, D’Leanne brought qualified buyers through the house prior to the soft launch. She invested much time with us, providing regular unsolicited updates and candid feedback about each party who attended the inspections. She was also always on call to answer our questions. Throughout the process, we felt everything was being done to further our best interests. As a result, the house was sold after just 2 Saturday opens!!! D’Leanne is a smart and prodigious worker; she is disciplined, sensitive and patient. She’s a highly motivated professional who genuinely knows her stuff. Thank you D’Leanne for a job very well done. You went above and beyond the call in ensuring the great outcome we achieved.
