“I will not hesitate to recommend Etch Real Estate as simply the best agents on the Northern Beaches when it comes to selling your home.”

Casting back over the events of the past 4-weeks, there is nobody we would rather have worked with than Hugo and Luljeta of Etch Real Estate. The Auction campaign was stress free, professionally handled and the Street Record achieved a perfect reflection of the dedication shown by the team at Etch.

I have personally known Hugo and Luljeta for many years. Having employed Luljeta in her early days in retail I have watched them grow their Information Technology business across the globe and knew that when they launched their career in real estate that they would be a huge success.

Years back we bought 415 Sydney Road Balgowlah, having fallen in love with the idea of multi-generational living, and perhaps one day seeing our kids move into the home and making it their own. As per everything life has other plans and the kids grew up to be adults, and adults with a mind of their own. As funny as that sounds, it is a common theme with many of our friends and as they grew we realised that 415 Sydney Road would not be, for us, what it once was.

“The thought of selling was always stressful as we were somewhat emotionally attached and always eager to ensure we capitalised on the asset as best we could.”

The thought of selling was always stressful as we were somewhat emotionally attached and always eager to ensure we capitalised on the asset as best we could. As the years unfolded, and Etch Real Estate went from strength to strength, it would be my dad that would first reach out to Hugo and Luljeta to sell my parent’s beloved Woodbridge Park, a gorgeous acreage in the Megalong Valley which they had toiled over for years and genuinely struggled with the idea of selling one day.

My parents, like many locals in the area, knew all the local agents, and all the agents knew them. With such a heartfelt decision, it would not be just any agent that would sell Woodbridge Park for them as it needed to be someone willing to demonstrate the merits of my parent’s efforts, and the merits of the offering properly. Long story short, Hugo and Luljeta took on the ‘out of area’ listing and sold Woodbridge Park very well.

With that I knew I would be in good hands with Etch Real Estate one day, and when that time came, I reached out to them as our only choice.

Hugo and Luljeta proved every inch of the experts I thought they would be. With precision feedback regarding timing and strategy, styling and handling tenancies, and detailed thoughts on price guide, auction strategy and negotiation updates.

“Even until the evening before the auction, Hugo and Luljeta provided great guidance on how to optimise the final sale price and help bring the best possible result at Auction.”

The campaign unfolded in November and lasted less than a handful of weeks. Every week we had extensive reports from the team regarding buyer engagement, online marketing response and prospective buyer interest. Etch identified key parties to us throughout the campaign and updated us in a manner that allowed us to feel in-charge and empowered. Even until the evening before the auction, Hugo and Luljeta provided great guidance on how to optimise the final sale price and help bring the best possible result at Auction.

True to their word, the team at Etch conducted the Auction with expert precision. We were in awe as we witnessed their dedication to the final result, and how the team worked tirelessly in our family’s best interest. Breaking the Street Record on Sydney Road is not easy and the team at etch achieved this and once again proved that they are well and truly on the real estate map. I stand by our decision to select Etch Real Estate, and the conviction with which my parents trusted them too.
