Settlement & Coordination

Following the sale agreement, we help coordinate essential transition needs to ensure an easy journey to settlement. 

Our property sold well above our expectation! Nick and BTAs expertise assisting with the sale of our two warehouses was amazing. He made a very stressful and unknown time, very very easy. As retirees with little experience selling property, we wanted to feel cared for. Nick has a very empathetic way of doing business, he made the process simple and he ensured we did all the right things to sell for a great price.

Evan and Efi

We engaged Before the Agent after a failed sale campaign. Nick was able to review the failure then create a clear stategy for the second campaign leading to a very succesful sale! As busy professionals with a young family, we benefited greatly from the extra layer of advice and reassurance. 

Peter and Maria

We first met Nick when he sold us our home in 2023 and has been great to deal with throughout both the purchase and subsequent sale (due to moving internationally). Nick has made a daunting process manageable through his communication style and knowledge of the market. We have had a great experience with him and his team.

Emma and Adam

Excellent in all aspects. Always understanding a very passionate genuine sincere man. Selling your family home can be very confronting. Nick was there all the way. With sincere support and respect.

Belinda

We couldn’t be happier with Nick’s support in selling our property. Nick’s professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care gave us complete confidence. Nick set realistic expectations and kept us informed every step of the way. Always responsive and transparent, Nick made the experience smooth and stress-free, and we felt supported the entire time. Nick went above and beyond to help secure a result that exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Nick again in the future.

Cameron and Emanuel 

I had the pleasure of working with Nick to sell our Home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Nick was personable, professional and communicative. Every step of the way he provided clear updates, answered all our many questions and offered great advice making the entire process much smoother than I anticipated. His dedication truly made a difference in selling our home. 

Sherryn and Bernie

We felt relaxed with Nick the first time we met and to say he was a pleasure to work with is an understatement. Nick's guidance throughout the campaign was above and beyond and to get the result we got by the set date was an awesome achievement. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and thank him so much for making this big transition in our life so much easier.

Desi and James

Nick’s knowledge of the ins and outs of the market is impressive. This was our first venture into selling our family home and we knew nothing about how the process worked. From the moment we met Nick we knew that he would do a great job on our behalf. His simple explanations of each step of the process was clear, especially for me, who had never sold a house before. If we could give 10 stars we would
