“Soraya has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her professionalism, dedication, tenacity, negotiation skills, business acumen and knowledge of the Lane Cove property market sets her apart from her peers. Her true strength is dealing with unexpected challenges that can arise during the sale of a property which can cause considerable stress and anxiety to the owner. Examples of this was dealing with a tenant who wasn’t prepared to allow access to the unit, to a controlling property manager, and finally dealing with building and strata issues. In the above dealings, it was Soraya’s experience of the market and communications skills which allowed a quick resolution to the problems. The biggest compliment I can give Soraya is her ability to reduce the stress and anxiety of the buyer as they go throughout one of the biggest decisions of their life. Throughout the whole process we felt assured that the decisions being made would result in the best outcome for all parties. We would have no hesitation in recommending Soraya Wheatley to anyone. Soraya is a proven performer with all the key attributes to provide a winning outcome.”

Michael and Kylie Pryor

“Soraya Wheatley from LJ Hooker Lane Cove is the best agent we have ever encountered, and we have bought and sold a number of properties. Soraya is not only professional and knowledgeable; she has a very positive attitude, particularly when things are not always going to plan. When we thought we had little or no chance of selling the house, she remained positive and worked on our sale as if it were the first day. If you are anywhere within Soraya’s area, you could not do any better than using her as your real estate agent”

Gary & Kim Schmidt

“Soraya has been an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process. I've dealt with many agents before, but Soraya's talent for finding out everything there is no know about each potential buyer, and promptly communicating this information over the phone and in formal weekly reports was extremely impressive and very valuable.Other agents would simply report the number of interested groups at open inspections and not much more. Soraya's approach of getting to know everything about the buyers - family and financial circumstances, opinion and plans regarding the property, stage in life, background and their thoughts made this experience unique. As with any auction, the moment was stressful and nerve wrecking, and when the bidding stalled, I swelled with anxiety. Precisely at this point, Soraya stepped in to demonstrate that she's not only a great communicator, but an even better negotiator. She spent 15 minutes negotiating back and forth with the highest bidder and eventually reached a satisfactory outcome for everyone. The comment made by the buyer said it all, 'We purchased this home because of Soraya'. Thank you for your patience, determination, tenacity and attention to detail at every turn. I hope we have the pleasure of dealing with you again in the future and I wish you all the best and success with your career”.

John and Sue Hyde

“My brother and I recently sold our property and were very happy with LJ Hooker Lane Cove and in particular Soraya Wheatley’s services in the sale. Soraya was throughly professional and diligent in every way, keeping us up to date at all times. We were most impressed, especially with the final result. Soraya achived a very good result and obviously has excellent negotiation skills and outstanding knowledge of the real estate industry. My brother and I would be happy to recommend Soraya to anyone looking for a thoroughly professional and dedicated salesperson”.

Jacqueline Milne

“Soraya is very easy to deal with. She naturally friendly and not over the top and pushy like some real estate agents we’ve dealt with in the past. She achieved a fantastic price for our property and my husband and I are thrilled. I really believe that her honesty and direct nature will allow her to go far in the business. Any vendor would be lucky to have Soraya represent them in the sale of their property”

Kylie and Phillip Peake

“I found Soraya to be highly informed about market trends and she explained the sales process in a clear and concise manner. There were some difficult times which involved a domestic matter and this had the potential to damage the sales process. Soraya was understanding, sensitive and demonstrated a high level of people skills. I am very pleased that I approached Soraya and would certainly contact her again when I am ready to purchase another property”

Malcolm Hersee

“Just a short note of appreciation thanking you for the very professional marketing and successful sale of our investment unit on Saturday 13th August, 2011. Our selection of yourself to market and sell our property was based upon our initial meeting where we were impressed with both your interest in our property and your knowledge of the market. We also sought submissions from three other local agents and our choice to appoint you and LJ Hooker Lane Cove to market our property was well and truly vindicated by its sale on the weekend under quite difficult circumstances. The stock market had suffered yet another meltdown during the week before the auction and consumer confidence was definitely not at an all time high. However, due to your diligence and experience, you were able to convince the buyers on the day to purchase our property. Soraya, another significant reason as to why we selected you, was based upon the number of record prices for apartments and houses that you have obtained for clients during your career. You did not disappoint us either as the price you achieved has set the new benchmark of value for 218 Pacific Highway, Greenwich, being the highest in the block to date. Thanks once again for a wonderful result in a difficult market and I have no hesitation in recommending your services and also for proving me wrong about the marketing advantages of the furniture package”

Steve and Maree Eccleston

“Throughout the whole process, Soraya displayed professionalism, dedication and a commitment to delivering an outcome that I would be happy with. Soraya’s advice and judgement was sound and she negotiated an excellent selling price. I would highly recommend Soraya to anyone”

Matthew Lui

“We first encountered Soraya three years ago when the purchasing the unit from her, her calmness and efficiency impressed us then. So when it came time for us to sell, Soraya was obviously the first person we thought of. Soraya’s ability to work efficiently under stressful conditions and deadlines speaks volumes about her hard work, determination and her composed demeanour. During the process, she kept us fully informed every step of the way and we always felt she had our best interests at heart. Importantly, we sold the property for the price we wanted. We would not hesitate to use Soraya again or recommend her services to a friend”

Eve Smith and Lewis Marsh

“Selling a house is a very stressful experience, especially when the market is so unpredictable. I would like to thank you for making it a less stressful experience for us. You showed us commitment and ongoing confidence that the house would sell. We particularly appreciated the amount of contact we had with you throughout the entire period including the follow-up phone calls following inspections on our property. Your enthusiasm, professionalism and regular communications were excellent and thank you for working on our behalf. The skills you possess were excellent and assisted us greatly in being able to realise a fantastic outcome. We were very happy with all of our dealings with you and would thoroughly recommend you to friends, family, acquaintances without hesitation. Thank you for your perseverance and on-going commitment”

Martin & Deidre Bowles

“I have recently engaged Soraya to look after the sale of my mother’s apartment in Mowbray Road, Lane Cove. Soraya did an excellent job of marketing and selling the property, obtaining my asking price on the first open for inspection. Furthermore, the price she obtained was $30,000 above the prices that the two other agents I spoke to had quoted. I found Soraya to be professional, efficient and courteous throughout the entire process. I can highly recommend her services”.

Joanne Turner

“Soraya made time to meet with us at very short notice. We were very pleased at her professionalism and her honesty during our first interview. Soraya was able to put our home on the market at short notice. Our apartment was sold as a result of the first open house expectation and she achieved a record price. Soraya portrayed professionalism all the way through the sales process and kept us up to date at every stage. We have had a great experience with Soraya and LJ Hooker Lane Cove, and will not hesitate to recommend Soraya and LJ Hooker Lane Cove to our friends and family”.

Steve and Kavita Homairi
