Christine has now sold two properties for me – so repeat business, which is a recommendation in itself.  I have gone back to her because in addition to being an informed, astute and enthusiastic agent, what I really liked was her ethics, which many agents talk about but are not great on in practice.  Christine has principles; she is upfront and does not try to talk up the price at the start to get a listing only to talk it down later; she knows the law (and cares about seeing it followed); she does not pressure sell.  These are all things I care about, and think that lots of purchasers do too.  That said, Christine is very good at structuring a sale to maximise competitive tension, and she has shown she was willing to go the extra mile.  For example, when she was selling a rental apartment she took on the task of contacting Housing ACT to try and get a neighbour’s door (one of their clients) painted.  I would happily use Christine again to sell future properties.

“With your long career in the Queensland, Federal and now ACT Government policy development as well as a distinguished career in real estate sales in the ACT (with a particular interest in affordable housing and refugee support), you are a unique, altruistic, amazing human being. I honour you and wish you well in your new endeavours. How refreshing – honest, caring, truly devoted beyond self, delivering important social outcomes whilst also delivering a platinum class real estate experience to sellers in the Canberra region.”

Christine, Thanks for your persistent and tireless efforts on my sale. You went well beyond the requirements of the agency agreement and pursued my interests well beyond any other agent that I have dealt with over the years. And as a liquidator for over 20 years and company executive and director for almost as long, I have sold many properties.

Wonderful caring agent with fantastic communication! We had the utmost pleasure and privilege in having Christine Shaw represent us in the sale of our property. From the initial meeting when we met to discuss our options, it was clear that Christine was not a typical agent; she took the time to get to know us and didn’t use a scripted sales pitch in her discussions. Her questions and queries were genuine and insightful, and her answers to our enquiries were based on reasoning and research. Taking the time to get to know us at the initial meeting was a big step going forward, it was a welcome change to other real estate agents. Acting on her advice, we auctioned our house with Christine and had moved interstate prior to the auction. The communication that we received during our campaign was beyond fantastic. Phone calls explaining who had visited, the number of repeats, general interest and feedback was incredible throughout the campaign and put us at ease.

[Part 2] …Her communication made the entire process incredibly easy for us not being local, and really made us feel confident that we had chosen the correct agent to represent us. One aspect that sets Christine Shaw above all others is her partnerships with charities in Canberra. We were able to donate unwanted items through her networks, which made us take stock of how fortunate we are to be able to own and sell a property. This made us really appreciate the work that charities do in our community and has given us a newfound appreciation for charitable work. If we had to go through the sale process in the ACT region again, there is no doubt in our mind that we would be using Christine Shaw to market, campaign and sell our house. She is a wonderful and humble agent that we can honestly say has become a friend.

… From the moment that we contacted Christine for a viewing, she was friendly and very professional. Christine honours the process and legalities of a house purchase and is very open and honest about every aspect. Even through an unexpected and complicated Settlement process, Christine did everything that she could to expedite the process. Christine kept us informed throughout and has our admiration for her attention to detail and vast experience. Her approach allayed our concerns along the way and she has a very calming demeanour. We value our association with Christine and her work approach, even with little things like the fact that she dropped the keys off to our house following Settlement. Christine is a hardworking advocate for the Vendor, but plays by a set of very ethical rules for the buyer as well; a laudable approach that we have not seen before in 6 house purchases.  Christine’s support staff are well led and also very helpful. We consider Christine one of the very best Real estate people that we have even had business dealings with and certainly she is most thorough. We would not hesitate to commend Christine Shaw to anyone in the Canberra Region intending to sell or buy a house.

If you are looking to buy or sell a property in the ACT or NSW, look no further than Christine Shaw at Christine Shaw Properties.  Christine was efficient, pleasant and meticulous and all this was combined with intimate knowledge of the wider housing market, homelessness and its political implications and a marked social conscience.  I cannot recommend her too highly.

I cannot recommend Christine Shaw highly enough. My dealings with Christine were always professional, Christine always called back promptly if she was not available. I live in Victoria so good communications were very important. Christine sold my apartment within a week so a very good result. I thought it may take up to 60 days. Well done Christine. Should anyone be searching for representation in the ACT I would be happy for Christine to pass on my mobile to prospective sellers. Christine is a total professional. I have sold many properties but Christine is among the very best.

I have recently listed my property with Christine Shaw and in my dealings, I have found her to be very helpful and knowledgeable. In particular Christine Shaw has gone far beyond what would be the normal expectation for a property agent. My property had been listed with Defence Housing and when the option in the DHA  lease for early termination was activated I was caught unprepared. Christine came highly recommended and even though Christine is normally involved with property sales, she was only too happy to help me out with the releasing of my property.

Having bought and sold many times I have had my share of good and bad agents, so when a great one comes along I believe it’s worth putting pen to paper. Christine Shaw was an absolute pleasure to work with. Christine is upfront and honest, with a refreshing mix of friendly and sincere, with professional and let’s get the job done. Christine’s appraisal of our property was spot on, which was followed a few weeks later by a quick sale, getting us the price we wanted. It was refreshing to receive such wonderful service, and I would (and do) recommend Christine Shaw to anyone wishing to buy or sell.

I have now bought three properties over the last decade through Christine Shaw. On each occasion she has negotiated a very fair price for me which I could not have obtained without her diligent work with the seller. I have always been very pleased that I have had Chistine doing the research and the work which led to three very successful purchases. She has always first met and then exceeded my expectation for quality service. She has provided my wife and I with an investment property, and my son and daughter in law with a home and their own investment property. Great results. Many thanks
