Woodards Real Estate Bentleigh

Refused to provide a definitive price to purchase a property prior to auction. Eventually purchased at auction, obviously higher. However they later forgot what day the settlement was on & the final inspection was literally at the same time as the settlement. Various issues with the property which Vicky claimed were fixed at the final inspection. However 2 hours after settlement when returned to the property all were back not working again. She even agreed would be fixed later to avoid canceling the settlement. Then later refusing anything responsibility. Even stated she did so much because removed the vendors personal junk in the garage (after i requested this). It is your responsibility to have removed. The purchaser should not require a favour to have removed. Personally would avoid this firm. Rather unethical. On the auction day one of their staff consistently was telling me to “keep bidding, bid $5k more, bid another $5k you nearly have him etc” The now neighbour can even recall this occurring on the day. Are confident this type of action are against Australia real estate standards... just do your research first. To top it off, the fee to fix the final inspection problems are $300-$500 and not a major expense. It is the principle of the matter!

Woodards are very experienced and seem to be really well known among the locals. Definitely worth considering selling with these guys. Great agents

My mother attempted to try sell our house through this branch. They made numerous promises and guarantees(I was present at all meetings), I was even told of 5 parties interested in the property. On the day there was not one bid at the auction and our reserve was well below market price even though we were told people were extremely interested. We decided to use another local real estate agency we left the reserve price consistent, we ended up exceeding our reserve by over $100k. Unprofessional, dishonest, untrustworthy. Avoid at all costs!!!

Highly recommend Ryan Counihan! Woodards are by far the most honest and professional agents in the area. They really are the most trusted agents in the area. You can have full confidence in Woodards! Highly recommended for achieving a very quick sale.

I decided to choose Woodard's after my neighbours sold there house at auction. Was very impressed with the professional approach, without the high pressure during the auction process, so contacted Vicki to sell my house on a private sale basis. John and Vicki inspected the house and offered great advise on what did and didn't need to be done. At every stage of the process, Vicki continually went above and beyond what was expected, as far as communication was concerned, and the property sold within weeks at a great price. Could not recommend Woodard's highly enough, to anyone who is considering buying or selling in the area. Ian F. (East Bentleigh)
