“Valerie was able to give us advice on how to make our property more appealing to the sale market and with this advice we were able to prepare our property with minimal cost. This made our property one in which was attracting a number of requests to be viewed at both opens and scheduled times.”
J Bawden – Vendor – Valerie Staunton – 17 Church Street, Coffin Bay SA, Feb 2020
“I previously had my house listed for sale with another vendor. After a few years of Nothing happening, I was encouraged to approach Valerie Staunton to sell my house. I was told Valerie is extremely passionate about getting a positive result when it comes to property sales. At the time houses weren't selling but Valerie’s large network of people and her commitment to persevere payed off for me. Throughout the entire time Valerie showed excellent skills in great communication, support and what needed to be done. Her knowledge of how to sell in a slow market by bringing in New potential buyers clearly show her professionalism and ability to get those 'SOLD' signs and 'SMILES' I Highly Recommend Valerie Staunton sell Your property.”

We were always treated with respect and everything was followed up.”

We highly recommend her for anyone looking to purchase’ a home!”S Coleman & T Boyce – Purchaser – Valerie Staunton – 70 Tennant Street, Port Lincoln SA - Aug 2019

“Mike was fantastic in every aspect. He made himself available to us at all times and really went above and beyond with his service.”
N McGuire & W Van Der Velden – Purchaser – Mike Bowyer – 39 Holly Rise, Coffin Bay SA - July 2019
“We chose Valerie again to represent us in selling as we'd used her to sell two properties previously and on those occasions had found her to be genuine, always willing to assist and her expertise on tips for what will make a quick sale and what work was required on the property to maximise return was invaluable. We found Valerie's communication with us was regular and kept us in the loop on results of home openings and real 'potential' buyers. Her understanding of the market had the house sell at the price she had, at first appraisal, indicated it would sell for, despite our desire to initially list it at a higher price. As a result of little success at the higher price point we later heeded her advice on price reduction which generated additional interest. Valerie was more than happy to entertain and champion our initial requirement to list at a higher price and did a lot of work unreservedly to achieve a result. We would definitely consider using Valerie again in the future.”

Within a few hours she had prepared an appraisal with a realistic evaluation for a quick sale and personally dropped it around to my place with a coffee!! Her prompt service and pleasant personality was impressive. Her advice n suggestions were helpful and we sold our house before our first open inspection!! The personalised approach she possesses is a rare find now days and i have no hesitation in recommending Valerie to sell your property and end up with a lovely bottle of dellocoline sparkling red to celebrate the sale.. as i did!!”

Valerie met me at the property the next day, and within half an hour I had a positive plan of what I needed to do to achieve a quick sale for the best possible price. Valerie warmly and confidently assured me that she would take care of everything else. She was true to her word, and the property sold very quickly and at a great price. Valerie kept me informed every step of the way, I never had to chase her for anything. Valerie is a real credit to Raine & Horne, and I sincerely thank her for her kind assistance. I thoroughly recommend Raine & Horne's team, whether selling, buying or renting a property.”
