Testimonials

“ Brisbane City - Zak has great enthusiasm for, and knowledge of the entire complex on Parkland Bvd. He was available at what I would consider non family friendly times for inspections and invariably followed up, expeditiously, with any questions that we had, both during our decision making phase, and during the conveying process. Our overwhelming impression is that he is, unlike the sometimes deserved stereotype of real estate salespeople, an honest, upfront person of integrity. ”

“ Zak went above and beyond when we purchased our first home 11 years ago. This time around for our second purchase, we couldn't have anticipated his support being ever better, but sure enough it was. We are so appreciative to have has an industry expert like Zak guide us through (again!). We'll be forever grateful and look forward to the next purchase! ”

“ Chermside - Zak is a true professional, provided good advice and support. This was a difficult sale for me as it had been my family home for 50 plus years and Zak seemed to understand this without ever losing patience.

I have engaged Zak for 2 property sales now and have found him reliable, trustworthy, straight talking and will always go that yard further for his client. That's why he has an excellent reputation already. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent to get the best deal for their property. ”

“ Brisbane City - Highly Recommended. Zak has made purchasing a property very easy. He has gone above and beyond my expectations. Even after the deal was done and the contracts were signed he went out of his way to keep me informed about the property and the purchasing process. Zak has been flexible and helpful in arranging access to the property so I could organise trades. I would happily recommend Zak and his team to anyone looking for a proactive agency. ”

“ Brisbane City - Zak made the whole experience easier and more enjoyable. It was a slightly tricky settlement but Zak facilitated communication and completion fantastically. He recommended and arranged people for repairs and painting etc. and was always helpful and kind. ”

“ Everton Hills - Zak has the knack! Highly Recommended. Easy, simple, smooth and quick transaction. Zak sold our property in record time for a record sale price in the complex. He has excellent knowledge of the area and how to get the best sale price. He understood our goal and was very confident from the outset of achieving it. And he did just that! We would highly recommend Zak as the best pick of the agents. ”

“ Everton Park - Enjoyed dealing with Zak. Zak was a very approachable and honest. He knew the market well. ”

“ Mitchelton - We highly recommend Zak Smith. We recently sold our property through Zak. Had we known about Zak prior we would have sold our other properties through him. Zak had lots of knowledge of the local area and was able to give us a price guide which reflected the market. With Zak's experience he was able to create a lot of interest which got us a great price for the property. Unlike some agents we have been through Zak did not over promise and under deliver. We never felt like there was an agenda with Zak or that he was happy to accept whatever price just to make the sale. Zak was genuine, personable and communicated with us throughout. We were very happy with the price we received for our property and the how quickly it was sold. Thank you Zak, we truly think you are great and will happily go with you in the future. ”

“ Stafford Heights - Being fairly new to the investment market, we relied pretty heavily on Zak's expertise in both contractual conditions and owner feedback. Zak was always available to help, be it in person, via email, text or a phone call. He went the extra mile to ensure we felt comfortable throughout the entire deal. ”

“ Everton Hills - Fantastic Outcome! Thanks to Zak Smith our home sold within 24 hours with the sale price being above our expectations. Zak went to great lengths to ensure the sale proceeded smoothly and was always there to answer any questions. It was a pleasure dealing with Zak and we highly recommend him. ”

“ Everton Park - Zak is the most knowledgeable efficient professional agent with the highest of integrity I’ve ever encountered. He provided solid expert advice, explained everything in layman’s terms, and constantly kept me informed of progress. I met Zak 18 years ago at an open house when looking to purchase a home. His professionalism was obvious, and I watched the success of his career over the years. Though I’ve had no contact with him since, I knew who I trusted to list my property. Thank you Zak ”

“ Hendra - Zak was easy to converse with throughout my purchase and went above and beyond to make everything so much easier for me. I highly recommend Zak for any buy or sell requirements. ”

“ Everton Hills - Total satisfaction with my recent sale. Zak is the total professional. He makes selling a house less stressful through his excellent communication skills. He keeps you up to date on everything that is happening and is very realistic and supportive. I highly recommend Zak to anyone selling or buying a house. I have been dealing with him for over eight years now and he is always excellent. I have sold two houses and bought one house through Zak and he has made the process less stressful. Thanks Zak you're amazing. ”

“ Everton Hills - Impeccable service. The experience of selling my home was much better than I expected. Zak's knowledge and professionalism ensured an incredibly fast and stress free sale whilst achieving a great price for my home. Zak showed consideration and respect and really understands the sellers needs and concerns. Thank you Zak for a fantastic result. ”

“ Stafford - Having seen Zak out and about in the area for years we knew he was the one to sell our house when the time came. We did shop around with 2 other real estate agents to see what their opinions were. All real estates including Zak had the same suggested selling price. The other two seemed a bit vague and just going through the motions, so it was Zak's knowledge of house prices in the area, what people are searching for and his great communication skills that helped to sell our house. Zak was always available and made the process really easy, which is how it should be. He also suggested a solicitor who helped out as well. ”

“ Enoggera - Zak He kept us well informed on how it was going. A pleasure to work with. ”

“ Everton Park - We recently engaged Zak Smith of Raine & Horne to market our family home. Zak displayed an intimate knowledge of the market area, the target customer base, presentation required to achieve best value and an effective marketing plan. Zak also gave us an approximation of the price range to advertise without pressuring us to accept a particular figure. The first open house was very successful with a resultant offer which exceeded our expectations. The sale has now been settled and Zak's open communication following the initial signing of the contract and settlement helped relieve the stress for our elderly parents. We have no reservations in recommending Zak to any property vendor, particularly considering his extensive experience selling property in the North Western Suburbs. ”

“ Arana Hills - Super Agent. Thank you Zak on another successful sale for George and Lea just a breeze as always just keep doing what you do. Kindest regards ”

“ Everton Park - Wonderful Agent. Zak has made my first home purchase a very enjoyable one! He was easily accessible and assisted me throughout the entire process. Highly recommend working with Zak! ”

“ Everton Park - Zak made the whole sale process as stress free as possible and achieved a fantastic result for us, he had a buyer for our house before hitting the market. Would definitely deal with him again. ”

“ Everton Park - Wonderful five star Agent cannot recommend highly enough! Zak is an honest caring agent. Rare to find. He sold a house for us 20 years ago, and we were delighted to find Zak again! We gave him our "dream" ideal home and what we needed, and he found it!!! He took us from looking to sealing the deal, always available on the phone to answer questions and provide support. Awesome agent! Need a good agent? Our advice ... use Zak Smith ”

“ McDowall - Great Agent. I have known Zak Smith since he sold me a home in McDowall approximately 17 years and just recently sold this home in a day. We have since moved to something smaller, but I cannot thank Zak enough for such a speedy outcome. I appreciated the emails each year and the advice on how much my property would sell for it I was looking to move. Thank you Zak. ”

“ McDowall - Highly Recommendable Agent! He is an HONEST GREAT PERSON and an expert agent with thorough market knowledge. We strongly recommend him. ”

“ Gaythorne - Great service. After dealing with an alternate agent and poor outcome with another property, Zak was a breath of fresh air. He knew the market well, was spot on with the property value, and got the property sold promptly. He kept me up to date during the process. I wish I had engaged him earlier. ”

“ Mitchelton - Totally Professional. Zak is very thorough and a man of his word. The man is honourable and very tolerant. When selling the house and there are three personalities involved, he had a very wise approach and was very disciplined. Zak did what ever I asked him to do and follows up in every area including suggesting a solicitor which was half the price for the conveyancing than what I was quoted. He arranged a photographer and advertising for free and had a very reasonable commission and did not skimp in any detail or service. Service is what we got and nothing was too much trouble. Thankyou Zak for a fantastic job. ”

“ McDowall - Highly recommend Zak!! I have nothing but praise for Zak with the way he handled the recent sale of my home. It was not an easy decision for me to sell my home of nearly 36 years, with the passing of my husband earlier this year, wonderful neighbours and the quiet location in a beautiful and leafy suburb. From the beginning Zak explained in clear terms requirements to help facilitate a quick sale with an acceptable and negotiable price. I paid no advertising or photography costs, and was pleased with his rate of commission. Zak was considerate of my privacy and always gave plenty of notice with open house and inspections. Thank you Zak for your honesty, understanding, a great sense of humour, and availability to answer any of my questions whenever. Best wishes to you and your team in the future and may 2017 prove to be very successful. ”

“ Enoggera - Best Agent. Zak was the selling agent for the property I purchased. He was a pleasure to deal with. Zak keeps you very informed throughout and responds promptly to any communication. He also works hard to make sure a good deal is achieved for both parties. Highly recommended. ”

“ Hendra - Zak did an outstanding job in selling my property. One of the best agents I have ever dealt with - excellent on communication, telling it how it really is, and going beyond the 'call of duty' in assisting with all matters relating to the sale (presentation, maintenance, dealing with solicitors, and dealing with the buyer). Moreover, he negotiated an 'above expectations' price on the first weekend the property was on the market. Could not be happier! ”

“ Enoggera - Zak was great in explaining everything and keeping us in the loop. ”

“ Enoggera - Nothing but a positive experience with Zak - can’t fault him! ”

“ Enoggera - Zak was very helpful from the word go. It was a pleasure dealing with him. Thank you.. ”

“ Ferny Hills - We have bought and sold houses with Zac and have always found him honest and very easy to deal with. Zac is not pushy in the least and if he doesn't know the answer to a question, he does not pretend he does. Instead, Zac will explain he is unsure and will endeavour to find the answer to your question. Also, Zac was exceptionally helpful when dealing with any hiccups during the contract period. Highly recommended. ”

“ Enoggera - We are very happy to be in our new home and we appreciate the assistance Zak provided to us throughout the process. Buying our first home was, at times, a stressful process and we found Zak's responsiveness to any enquiries we had leading up to and after settlement very helpful; making himself available to be contacted at any time. Zak understood what was important for us in buying our first home. Our contract and settlement processes ran smoothly and we appreciate Zak's experience and professional manner in guiding us through. ”

“ Everton Hills - Knowledgeable Agent. Zak is very experienced in the local area. Unusual property to sell being a large block in a residential area. Zak's marketing and photographer presented the potential available for the property and it sold very quickly. Happy to recommend Zak and his team ”

“ Everton Hills - Despite Zak's Liberace-esk image causing initial concerns, we were very pleased with how he handled the purchase of our property. The smooth transaction was also helped by a sensible and accommodating seller but Zak's no nonsense approach facilitated this. The post-sale house-warming gift was a nice touch. Thanks Zak, Steve and Marian ”

“ Mitchelton - Breaks the mould! Zak is not your usual real estate Agent, in fact he is in danger of giving the trade a good name! Not a hint of smarminess or dishonesty in our dealings, he was truthful, helpful and made himself available whenever required. After years of dealing with the rest he was a welcome relief and comes highly recommended in our (new) house! ”

“ Arana Hills - A good agent is worth his weight in gold! We dealt with Zak when we bought this house. He treated us like family and made us feel comfortable with the proceedings. When I decided to sell the house, I went straight to Zak. On suggestions from my family, I approached other agents, but the unanimous decision was to get Zak to do the job. A successful sale was negotiated with a minimum of fuss and intrusion. Zak was always positive and open, always with a big smile that eased any minor tensions and was professional in all his dealings. Thank you, Zak. ”

“ McDowall - Great service ... thoroughly recommend him. Zak was helpful, honest, and empathetic. He looked after us. We came up from the country to buy house… found the house. Zak made the whole process seamless was ALWAYS available when we had queries. Always responded promptly to phone calls. Well done on all fronts ... would recommend him! Thank you Zak ”

“ Arana Hills - Zak went over and beyond his call of duty when it came to selling our property. He was always on call on his own private number and always ready with a quick action plan on what was required. Can't thank you enough Zak for your help. Would definitely recommend you. ”

“ Ferny Hills - Great result! I would strongly recommend Zak. ”

“ Ferny Hills - Zak is a professional salesman with extensive knowledge in Real Estate sales, I highly recommend him. ”

“ Mitchelton - Zak met all the criteria for a successful sale at a high level. He demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the market and did not try to pressure us in to selling by auction. He kept us well informed at all times and obviously was able to communicate well and negotiate well with potential buyers. He showed respect and consideration for our tenant in informing her re open houses. We were very happy with the price obtained for the property and the time frame in which the home was sold. We are happy to recommend Zak to other potential sellers/buyers. ”

“ Stafford Heights - Zak was an excellent and positive person to deal with. This is the second time we have had Zak sell a property for us. I would not hesitate to contact Zak in the future. ”

“ Everton Park - Zak handled the sale of our properties on two occasions and each time we are confident we chose the best Agent. We highly recommend Zak Smith to anyone. ”

“ Chermside - After trying multiple agents within the area I can’t believe that I had inadvertently overlooked Zak to sell my 2 apartments in Chermside. It is probably fair to say that the apartment market within Chermside at the present is a challenging environment. Zak gladly took on both properties. What impressed me most about Zak was his ability to think outside the box from a marketing perspective. He clearly showed great passion and knowledge, but it was his innovative ideas and honesty that really separated Zak from all other agents I had previously experienced. My first apartment sold within a matter of weeks and my second apartment was listed on the Thursday and unconditional by Sunday for the list price. Both apartments were only 5 years old so there was lots of competition amongst all the new developments. Zak is the consummate professional, my satisfaction with the result is beyond reproach. If you are looking to sell, you must contact Zak. ”

“ Stafford - Excellent agent would definitely recommend him . My mother is quite old and Zac was very good and understanding with her ”

“ Brisbane City - Highly recommended. Zak is a true people person for whom nothing is too much trouble. His customer service is exemplary, and his property advice is fantastic. Even though we were nervous about selling during the COVID-19 crisis, he sold our property at the very first open, and achieved the price we were looking for. Zak and his team were very efficient and kept us informed and reassured throughout the process to settlement. We would definitely use his services again. ”

“ Seller of a Brisbane City Apartment - Practical and resourceful, exactly the Agent I needed ”

“ Seller of Apartment in Indooroopilly! Zak enthusiastically agreed to be the exclusive agent even though that side of Brisbane is not his usual patch-a Refidex and Tom Tom proved to be useful! Covid-19 happened. We became quite despondent, but Zak remained upbeat and confident and pitched the price where we thought it should be. He kept us informed daily and a contract was signed after just 10 weeks. The amount, which we reveal only now, was $10,000 above our bottom line. Thanks. Pretty good effort, especially for a "Northside Expert"! ”

“ Stafford - Great job thanks Zak. Zak got the job done with a minimum of fuss. Trustworthy, direct and to the point. Would recommend him to anyone selling in the area. ”

“ Kangaroo Point - Zak is a hard working, intelligent sales consultant who tells it like it is and produces the desired results, without hype or over promising. He would be the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with. And I would say 1000% more effective than the high-flying Place or Ray White REA's. ”

“ Wavell Heights - Thank you to Zak Smith. I would recommend Zak Smith to anyone wanting to sell or buy property. I found Zak to be very professional as well as extremely helpful and caring. My experience with a property sale was not easy for me, but Zak tried very hard to help me through it. Due to Zak's professionalism the property was sold at the first open house and from then on he kept me up to date as the sale progressed. I could not have wished for a better Real Estate Agent. Thank you Zak. ”

“ Enoggera - Great Agent. Very friendly. Has your best interests. Genuine and trustworthy. ”
