"Delmege sold our house whilst we were away on an overseas trip. It was done seamlessly and effectively, thanks to Nik Vuko and Phil Keyes. They offered honest advise on getting ready for sale, then communicated well throughout our trip until reaching the sale price we were happy with. We particularly valued their honesty and professionalism."
"A few years ago a young real estate agent came to my door to say “hello”. Every six months or so back he came and the answer was always “we are not selling”. Fast forward a few months ago and our situation changed and I know who would do their best for us, Delmege Newport and especially my young enthusiastic agent Dushan Prica. Dushan is a delightful young man, frank, enthusiastic, always with a smile on his face and words of encouragement when I felt down. Dushan turned what could have been a stressful situation into a positive situation. He always gives the “extra mile” and does it with enthusiasm. In the uncertain times he achieved the best result for us and we are happy. He is a credit to his family and the Delmege Team."

" After making the decision to sell our family home in Mona Vale, David and I were Introduced to Greg Simons from Delmege Residential. What a fortunate meeting that was! During the whole "selling process" we found Greg to be very attentive, straight talking and always optimistic. His relaxed, friendly and confident manner certainly helped to make the sale as stress free as possible. Greg and his team displayed a through knowledge of the current market and were able to give a very accurate assessment and valuation of our property. His advice and recommendations on how our house should be marketed were very astute. Through his hard work and commitment, within four weeks Greg had successfully negotiated a sale at a price we were very happy to accept. During the four week campaign Greg worked tirelessly on the sale of our property. He communicated with us regularly, providing constant and honest feedback on the progress of negotiations. We were delighted with the outcome and thank Greg for his positive attitude, his professionalism and his dedication to our sale. "
"It is with the greatest of pleasure that we write in total appreciation of Nick Kirshner. We were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of employing Nick to sell our townhouse in Warriewood. Having had several bad experiences with local real estate agents, it was truly a breath of fresh air to work with Nick. He manages to maintain a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, whilst exceeding the realms of professionalism. We were constantly kept in the know of what was happening at all times. Nick showed the property, and sold the property in less than two weeks, getting us more than we had hoped for. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicks services to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you for a truly enjoyable and successful experience."

"To Debra, I'd like to commend Debra Zakharoff for her tireless efforts in selling my 14 Cheryl Crescent, Newport home in less than 6 weeks in what is proving to be a very challenging sellers market. I feel the house sold quickly as a consequence of Deb's detailed knowledge and experience of the Northern Beaches Real Estate market. Deb maintained a high energy, can-do attitude throughout the entire process and was meticulous in her approach. Deb kept us informed at each stage and managed our expectation with regards to the timing of the likley sale. Deb on a number of occasions went above and beyond to help with the preparation of the property for sale. Due to this positive experience i would have no hesitation whatsoever in using the services of Delmege & Debra Zakharoff in future to sell or purchase real estate. Yours Sincerely, Tony Stankowski"
"Thanks for all your work and help. You are really good at your job and it was a pleasure to deal with you. I will certainly pass on to friends to contact you for either buying or selling."
"Dear Greg, Thank you for selling our family home! Our home had been with another agency for a long period of time prior to you coming on board and you successfully secured a buyer in six weeks and for a price we were very pleased with! You showed a level of commitment, friendliness and enthusiasm that exceeded our expectations. Your extensive and honest knowledge of the northern beaches and advice to buyers from outside the area was a key part of the success in selling our home. We would happily recommend you to any future sellers, as your level of communication was outstanding throughout the sale and negotiation process. Again thankyou, we truly appreciate your effort and wish you well in the future. "
""Delmege residential have been successful in selling our Bungan beach home. We had previously had it on the market with other agents & due to timing & market changes the others had been unsuccessful. It was great to have Gordon Archibald come on board with his team & I am grateful to him for his perseverance in selling our property & securing a buyer who loved the house." "
"We engaged Daniel McMahon to sell our residence recently and could not have been happier with the result. Daniel’s affable character and work ethic reassured us at each stage of the process that we had made the right decision. We were regularly updated on progress and positioned to make the right decisions as offers began to present. We recommend Daniel highly and would not hesitate to seek his services again. Dudley Ling "
"Dear Nik, I would like to express my extreme appreciation for the way in which you helped me secure a sale of my home during what has been a difficult time for me. After having lived at 3 Yachtsman Paradise for over 25 years, it is with great reluctance that I am leaving. Your genuine concern, honesty and hard work have made a huge difference for me. It has made an experience I was dreading become one which was pleasant and memorable. Selling the property above asking price in the 1st week was a fantastic result, and better than anything I could have wished for. I feel sorry for the couple that missed out, but I am equally happy that the young couple that have purchased intend to raise a family here. I will always recommend you and your team to any of my friends if they are looking to buys or sell property. Thank you Nik. Yours sincerely, Mrs Patricia Potter"
"Dear Nik, The best decision we have made this year was to engage you and your sales team to sell our property in Bellevarde Parade, Mona Vale!

We thank you and your sales team, as well as your office staff for the effective and efficient way that you kept us informed and up to date with proceedings at all time. We have nothing but high praise and recommendation to anyone who is considering the sale of their property - to engage you to secure the sale! Once again, many thanks, PETER & KRYSTYNA RAMALLI"
"Dear Rebecca, I would like to thank you for taking on the task of selling 26 Heather Street. It was a delight to deal with someone with a professional manner like yourself. Your guidance in the best approach to market the property and obtain a successful sale at auction was spot on. What I found stood out about your service was regular communication regarding the property, honesty and outstanding service. You can be sure that the delmege name is the one I will speak of when asked about who is best at selling on the Northern Beaches. Good work and thanks. Wes Jackson "
"Dear Stefan, I cannot thank you enough for the success you achieved on the sale of our home. Selling out house has been the most stressful of times in my life and you have always been there to offer your assistance and time. You were more than an agent you became our friend. Honest, understanding and sincere you went far beyond the call of what I believe any other agent would have done for us and we were extremely happy with the price you achieved allowing us the opportunity to realise our goals and dreams. I have no doubt that the enthusiasm, efficiency and professionalism shown by you contributed to this success. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone wishing to sell their property.

"Carol Ann, Re: 72 Alleyne Avenue, North Narrabeen I am absolutely delighted with the sale of my home and very impressed with the excellent service and salesmanship of my Agent Carol-Anne Harrison, of Delmege Residential Real Estate, Collaroy Plateau. My house had been up for sale with another agent for 4 months prior to listing with Carol Ann and I was disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm, communication and success from my previous agent. Carol-Ann proved an excellent choice of Agent, with a new approach and a positive slant on the whole campaign she achieved an excellent sale price for me. The whole experience was clear communication, lots of feedback, plenty of positive advice, and great negotiating with integrity. I feel that Carol Ann put in 110% effort, even as far as being present for the pest and building inspections as I was working and unable to take time off. She is friendly and approachable and a wonderful person. It was a great pleasure working with her and I now consider her to be a friend. Thank you so much for turning what was a very stressful situation into a smooth sale with as little stress and trouble possible for me and my family. It was very much appreciated. Anne Ferris "
"Debra Zakharoff, “We just wanted to write and tell you how grateful we were for your guidance during the recent sale of our home. As you know the whole idea of selling/auction was new (not to mention a little daunting) to us, coming from the UK where that is not the routine way to sell a house. The experience was very different from our expectations. Selling a home is reputed to be one of the most stressful times in your life. It quite simply wasn’t. Your experience in the Real Estate industry, combined with your calm/reassuring ways, made the whole process “almost” stress free.” Aubrey & Jane Giles "
"Debra Zakharoff, “We wish to thank you and your staff involved with the selling of the house at 191 Hudson Parade Clareville and finalizing it on this day. We wish to commend you on your expertise, efforts and friendliness and a job well done considering we were over here in the West. We communicated well at all times and you explained all that was required and we relied on you to handle our affairs with your skills. We thank you again and hopefully we might see you one day on our return to see Jim at a later date”. Ron and Wendy Donnelly "
"Debra Zakharoff, “This was our very first home that we built from scratch and had an emotional attachment to, but now that we’ve sold, we feel very appreciative and relieved we signed up with Debra, she calmed our anxiety about selling and made it all come together smoothly”. Marilyn & Vinnie Gracanin"
"Debra Zakharoff, “You provided ongoing, reliable support and advice any time I wanted it, day, night, weekend, holiday, whenever. Your advice proved to be totally objective and trustworthy – indeed, on a couple of occasions I perceived that the advice you gave me was clearly more in my interest than your own. Debra I cannot overstate how much I appreciated dealing with you, how much I valued your professionalism, your up-front directness, and your scrupulous honesty”. Jennifer & Andreas Oesterlin "
"Debra Zakharoff, “We would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to you personally for the way you showed us both your utmost loyalty and dedication when you on the sale of our home. From our very first conversation before I chose an agent I felt confident in the way you approached me, as I was at that stage quite nervous about the whole process….. Well done Deb, I would highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking or unsure of an agent. They cannot go wrong”. Joan Chapman & Shane Dunn "
"Debra Zakharoff, “I am writing to acknowledge how pleased the family is with the final settlement of the sale of our property. Your involvement from providing your initial appraisal and marketing proposal to the final settlement was considered highly professional and pleasingly honest. The marketing costs and sale period and price achieved were very accurate to your early predictions. Once again, I would like to thank you for you total involvement in this sale and would highly recommend you to any future vendors”. Barry Hodge "
"Debra Zakharoff, “In the beginning I asked that you work for us, and you certainly did that. Your enthusiasm, energy and the feel that you had for the property was evident all the way through the campaign. I thank you for the trust that you placed in me to be able to liaise with the other parties concerned and for believing in me that I could relay all their concerns back to you for consideration. I have no hesitation in recommending the Delmege team at Avalon, you were great”. David Schoobert "
"Dear Nik & Dushan, What a great team effort! We feel so fortunate to have had you guys looking after us. What could have been a fairly stressful period was made so much easier as a result of your genuine interest, professionalism and integrity. Not once did you leave us in the dark from day to day we were having updates of progress and feed back which was encouraging and exciting. 14 days from the first open house we had a sale - we are blown away! Anyone looking for a team that provides support and total dedication, even on a Sunday, should look no further than Delmege Residential. Thank you so much guys. Adrienne & Geoff Yates"
"To the Delmege Office, I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to Nik and his wonderful team at Delmege Residential. Generally buying and selling property can be a daunting experience but I have found this experience with Delmege to be a walk in the park. Nik has always been professional, responsive and ambitious to our needs. I would highly recommend Nik and the team at Delmege to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate. Many Thanks Best Regards, Adrian Brand "
"Dear Carol-Anne I cannot thank you enough for the success you achieved on the sale of our home at 50 Penrith Avenue, Wheeler Heights. Selling our house and buying a new place was one of the most stressful periods of our lives after having resided at our beloved home for 42 years. Carol-Anne you were the most understanding, honest and considerate real estate agent we could have wished for in such trying circumstances. You were more than an agent you became our friend. Under the circumstances of the market starting to recover then suddenly being spiked by an interest rate hike just after our first open, you managed to achieve a satisfying result in just four weeks. This enabled us the opportunity to buy a new residence in the same market which is the ideal situation in a jittery market. I have no doubt that the enthusiasm, efficiency and professionalism shown by yourself and other members of the team at Delmege Real Estate, contributed to this success. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending your skills and experience, in conjunction with the Delmege Real Estate team, to anyone wishing to sell their property in the Manly Warringah area. Yours faithfully, Robert & Raelene Shugg"
"To the staff at Delmege Residential, We purchased our new property through Delmege, Newport and found them to be efficient and friendly. So much so, that we decided to sell our existing property through Delmege, which they sold in three days! We couldn’t be happier with the level of service we received, and the speed in which they delivered everything. Jacqui Lewis 4/4 Queens Parade, Newport. "
"To the Newport Office, I wish to express my THANKS too all the team at Newport Delmege, for the selling of my home. A special THANKS to Dushan and Jack for their enthusiasm and hardwork. HURRAY its over!! Sincerely Carol Pearson"
"Hi Rebecca, I would like to thank you and all the team at Delmege Residential for your help in selling our unit in Collaroy. We used Delmege Residential as our agents as we know Nik Vuko on a personal level and knew we could trust his honesty and professionalism. It was great having the Collaroy office look after the sale for us with your local market knowledge and your understanding of the maintenance issues within the unit block. I am sure prospective purchasers appreciated your upfront honesty regarding the building and your excellent negotiation skills eventuated in a very good sale price. Thanks again and we would definitely recommend Delmege Residential to friends looking at selling or buying. Jacquie Bogunovic "
"Dear Carol-Ann, My brother John and I wish to convey to you our sincere appreciation and thanks for ALL the work you put into successfully marketing and selling the family home at 13 Edgecliffe Boulevarde Collaroy Plateau. From our first meeting and then throughout the marketing period your manner, presentation and professionalism were of the highest standard. Your communication with us over the distances involved was excellent and we especially and we especially appreciate your continuing commitment and understanding during and following the death of our father. We valued your editorials and the imaginative ways you presented our property in the Manly Daily and the Sydney Morning Herald. Your many open house inspections and follow yo of potential clients bore fruit in the successful sale to one of the original potential buyers. We are satisfied with outcome of the sale. As you know, it was with much regret in the family that the property was put on the market as it had strong emotional ties with us. However your understanding and thoughtfulness and tact throughout the selling period greatly helped to ease the sadness of breaking those ties. We have no hesitation in strongly recommending you, Carol-Ann specifically should a client be looking for a service that exemplifies the best of real estate practices and outstanding personal commitment to both the task and people involved. Wishing you continuing success. In appreciation and thanks, Pamela Bell & John Hetherington."
"Dear Carol-Ann, I would like to thank you for your outstanding result & professionalism during the campaign. Your expertise is most commanding and clearly outshines your competition. Your approaching a property like the “positioning of a brand” is advanced & most comforting in such a competitive industry. Thank you for demonstrating sensitivity, personal attention to details, intelligent selling & sound marketing principles. It has been most delightful dealing with you during this process. Your credibility & sincerity leaves your opposition for dead! You are a real pro. Yours Sincerely, Sylvie R.Raymond "
"Dear Carol-Anne, I’m very thankful to you for the sale of my home in Narraweena. It was presented so well. I was greatly impressed. Also it received the amount in the range I was hoping for. My home was sold with the least possible discomfort to me. I also want to thank you for your personal interest. Yours Sincerely, Kath Kelly"
"Dear Carol-Ann, We would like to thank you very much for selling our home unit. We were so happy that it sold on the first day! We believe that we obtained the top price for a unit of this size in our area. The price achieved was higher than we expected!

"Dear Carol-Ann, On behalf of myself and my brother and co-executor Konrad Beinssen, I should like to convey to you the sincere thanks for all the family for the work and imagination you put into marketing Edgewater. Your perfect grooming, beautiful manners, reliable punctuality and warm friendly manner immediately predisposed us in your favour and the marketing plan you presented to us was the most attractively compiled and the most detailed, and in particular the most carefully costed, of those on offer. We also appreciated the fact that you provided us with copies of the various publications you advised us to advertise in. We believe that your marketing plan was appropriate, targeting the glossy magazines of local papers such as The Manly Daily, The Mosman Times, The North Shore Times, and The Wentworth Courier, as well as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Financial Times and Rural Magazine for wider circulation. Letter-boxing the Collaroy and Palm Beach districts were also a good idea. We were delighted that you were so successful in procuring prominent editorial comment from more than one publication. The Sydney Morning Herald, for instance, gave us their first editorial with a large photo right at the beginning of the campaign and the Manly Daily actually produced three good editorial articles with photos in relation to the sale of Edgewater. As the property had been in the possession of the family for more than sixty years and in consequence family members had very strong emotional ties to Edgewater, we greatly appreciated your tactfulness and the interest you took in the family. We were also grateful that you gave the sale of Edgewater absolute priority for the entire four weeks of the auction campaign, and were willing to show people the house at their convenience. We were satisfied with the outcome of the auction and very happy with the auctioneer you recommended. Many thanks again, Konrad Beinssen and Silke Beinssen-Hesse"
"Dear Carol-Ann, Re: Sale of 33/24 Goodwin Street, Narrabeen We are writing to express our sincere thanks to you and your Agency for the excellent quality or service we received whilst selling our apartment. From the outset you have always been honest and open to us, not to mention reassuring during those stressful times whilst marketing our apartment. Jenny and I were impressed with the way you marketed our property and also the fact you always kept us up to date with the latest developments regarding possible purchasers. We actually felt that you were giving our property your sole attention. We were both impressed with your knowledge of the area and also the realistic valuation you gave our apartment when you first appraised it. To be honest, it was actually higher than we expected it to be and higher than the other agencies which had appraised our apartment. Often we here about agencies that inflate the appraised value they give to a property in order to win listings, however, in our case, you gave us an appraised value which was more than we expected and you were also able to realise a sale at that price level. Some may have thought it was overpriced and negative words were said, but you were very professional in handling this matter which only demonstrated your principled work ethic. As you know, Jenny and I are well underway with our plans for constructing our dream home at Warriewood. When it is completed, you will have to come and take a peak! Once again we’d just like to say thanks for all your help and personalised service. We will surely recommend you to people who are thinking of selling their home. It has been a pleasure having you as an agent. Sincerely yours, Jenny and George Funk"

I believe this was primarily due to your positive and realistic attitude throughout the process. Once again thank you. Kind Regards, Alayne Davies and Alan Davies."
"Dear Carol-Ann, I am writing to you to let you know just how impressed my partner and I were with your services in the sale of our property. Not only did you only take 2 weeks to get a buyer you were the essence of professionalism, I felt completely trusting with you right from the start. I would also like to mention that for the first time in my dealings with selling a property I did not have to worry about anything you were on top of all matters at all times. What a refreshing experience, as I am used to having to chase up and check up on everything, you went above and beyond your duties. Thank you so much it was a pleasure doing business with you! Kind Regards, Naomi Jones & Jon Bonham"

"Dear Jack, In regards to the sale of my property at 170 Plateau Rd I would like to thank you and your team for the way you have handled both the sale and the purchase of my new property. You have delivered on everything you committed to do, including post-sale follow ups. The communication was excellent throughout including regular updates of interested clients, reports on open house days, and feedback on price negotiations with prospective buyers. The price ranging you gave turned out to be very close to the mark, and you did not project any unrealistic expectations. I was also surprised by the number of people you were able to show through during the sale, and also the speed in which the property sold during what was a relatively quiet period. To top it all off, you were able to sell me a new property at the right price into which I will be moving into in coming weeks.

"Dear Carol-Ann, Re: Sale of our property at 8 Carlise Street, Wheeler Heights What can I say? Not only achieving the highest price we could have hoped for, but selling the property before auction, with a ‘great’ auction price. You backed your confidence and ability when most other would have gone for the quick sale. I was also impressed with your personal time over and above professional obligations, as selling a house is a very emotional time for the vendors. You were the best person fro the job and your reputation in the industry is well justified by vendors and other agencies alike. I hope this personal recommendation will help others to make the right choice. As is any industry, there are the good and bad out there……” and the best”. Thank you once again. Phillip and Nicola Press"
"Nik Vuko, We would like to thank you for the sale of 48 Herbert Ave, Newport. Indeed it posed a challenge due to the "unique" layout, but Nik and the team always remained very positive and professional throughout the selling process. I found Nik and the Delmege team to be very professional and courteous at all times. The team always kept the lines of communication open and we knew what was happening with the property from day to day. The Delmege was highly recommended and we would be happy to pass on the same recommendation to other looking to sell. Thanks again, Maxine & Robert Fernandez & Kathleen Robertson"

"To Nik, Dushan, Jack and the Newport office, Re: Sale of 5 Stanley Street, Newport On behalf of my brother John and myself, I wish to express thanks for the effort from all concerned in the sale of our mother''s property by auction on 12 May 2007. Without doubt, we were delighted with the result, being well over the reserve and far beyond our expectations. It is obvious to us that there was a lot of hard work leading up to the auction, which resulted in the success on the day. And what a day! There must have been in excess of fifty people in the front yard, adjoining properties and spilling into the street. Better than any street party. In particular, I would like to thank Nick, Nick, the auctioneer, and Dushan. And thanks also to Jack and all staff from your office and network offices. I must say that Dushan was so persistent and so very enthusiastic prior to us signing the agents agreement, he left little doubt that your agency was ready to "do the job". As you know, a number of agents were chasing us at the time. We are pleased to have made the decision to go with Delmege Newport.

After inviting Delmege to do an appraisal, the feedback and the enthusiasm of your entire sales team was just fantastic, and really encouraged us to go ahead at this point of time. Nik you were flexible with the advertising program and above all, you took time to discuss and address any queries we had. The result? A sale within 2 weeks! No pressure from you whatsoever and all settled with the utmost satisfaction of everyone involved. Congratulations Nik and all the best to you and your team for 2007. Sincerly Anna & Martin Cayzer"
"Dear Nik, How do we begin to thank you? What you did to facilitate the sale of our property was nothing short of amazing, and this is not just by our standards - even our solicitor remarked on it! I am sure we could be referred to as "high maintenance sellers" as we are very particular about being involved and being kept well informed through out the entire process. You and the Delmege team delivered on all aspects associated with this and exceeded any expectations we had during final negotiations. We certainly chose the right man for the job and it is obvious that Delmege Residential is well on the way to being the leading agency on the Northern Beaches. Based on the service that you provided this is well deserved. We have no hesitation in recommending you to potential sellers - we know they will not be disappointed. Thank you from all of us. Kind Regards, The Skillings"

Instead from the very first encounter they tried to bring our expected sale price down by $300,000!!! Giving us numerous negative excuses on our property to justify a drop in sale asking price prior to generally dictated the same as LJ Hooker does. Nik you listed to us, you tried your hardest to achieve our sale in a extremely depressed market and you actually got the price you wanted!!! with half page and quarter page adds a great saving in itself.

"To Wary property owners, Regarding 121 Queens Parade East, Newport After a number of problematic exchanges on property over the past few years, it came as a pleasant surprise to deal with such a professional team at Delmege Real Estate Newport.

Given the downturn in property vales and market demand, we were incredibly happy with this result. I would be very happy to recommend Delmege Real estate to potential property sellers or buyers.
