Our experience with Ryan and Bec truly exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. They provided us with great communication and service each step of the way. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ryan, Bec and the team at Kollosche.

Ryan Ward represented us in a sale that was a difficult and complex process, engaging with all 16 owners, the buyer and its representatives. Amalgamating, a site takes a long time and requires not only a commercial, but an emotional awareness of each parties needs and desires. Ryan has been able to bring all the owners along this journey in a calm, professional and sensitive way, while at all times staying open, transparent and honest throughout the difficult and complex set of transactions. I am sure without Ryan’s professionalism, the sale would not have been completed, along with all owners being happy with the final outcome.

I had the pleasure of using Ryan Ward to sell our Sub-Penthouse at Aria. Ryan was fantastic to deal with, very reliable and excellent at communicating. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Ryan and he always greeted my family, myself and perspective purchasers in a very welcoming and professional manner. His experience in dealing with potential purchasers and extracting offers certainly became the driving factor to receiving a desirable offer. We can speak from experience in saying that we’d be more than happy to use Ryan again to sell any other property we own and strongly recommend him to other vendors.

We cannot believe how the process went so seamlessly, especially as conducted by remote control. Many thanks for all your efforts Ryan. You delivered exactly as per your word and considering there was no delays, we are doubly grateful.

Due to our commitment to purchase another property, I would have to say the Kollosche team worked tirelessly in an effort to meet the tight deadline for our sale. We were actually amazed by the speed and number of viewings they arranged over such a short period and at all times the dialogue and overall communication exhibited was first class. Needless to say, we were very happy with the end result, particularly given our timeframe and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ryan, Michael, Bec and the Kollosche organisation overall.

Regrettably, we had to sell our beach front apartment in Gold Coast due to covid pandemic travel restrictions. Living overseas, we could not enter Australia and it meant the apartment would be vacant for a long time. It was a disappointing decision as we were very much looking forward to an absolute beach front life. What made this dismal decision into a happy one was Ryan and Bec team of Kollosche. Selling a property is not easy, especially for us to do it remotely. We had to rely on them totally. Ryan was always engaging and professional. He was easy to talk with and very patient with us as certain aspects we were not familiar to us being non-Australian. His approach to the sale was spot-on. Bec was meticulous and updated us on everything and anything along the process which was assuring for us being away. The apartment was successfully sold at a price point we were seeking and we highly recommend Ryan and Bec to anyone.
