I would not hesitate in recommending Kingfisher Realty to any prospective buyers or sellers. A contract fell over on my property and Conal had another buyer ready to go straight away.

It was a very smooth and stress free experience.

After talking to many estate agents in Burleigh and surround areas, Sharron and I chose Conal Martin from Kingfisher Realty.

Conal’s positive outlook for Burleigh and the value of our property made our decision easy. Conal and the Kingfisher team were very professional, made the negotiation of the property very easy and relaxed and the overall feel of the sale has been great.

If you are thinking of buying or selling in the area, it would be hard to find a better team to handle your business. Thank you Conal.

Brett and Sharron Boenke

Elizabeth and I bought 6 Bittern Avenue 3 years ago through Conal Martin at Kingfisher Realty. We were very impressed with how he represented his seller during the process of us buying the property, so we asked him back to sell the property for us.

We found again that Conal was very dedicated to his seller, which was obviously important to us as vendors. We also knew with Conal being the locally based expert he would be able to obtain a high price for our property.

We were ecstatic with the result, Kingfisher Realty also achieved an excellent price! $100,000 more than we paid for it 3 years ago and much higher than the bank valuation – WOW!

We highly recommend the professional services of the team at Kingfisher Realty, Burleigh Heads.

When looking around for an agent to entrust with the sale of our house, we met with Conal Martin and another agent. Whilst we were very impressed with Conal’s straightforward manner and obvious experience in our area, we decided to engage the other agent. After a failed auction and several very disappointing months on the market, we called Conal back and asked him to take on task of selling our house.

Over a number of years we have sold several houses and thought we had learnt a few lessons. We learnt them again. Big flashy advertising campaigns primarily benefit the real estate agent by promoting their profile with huge colour lift-out in the Real Estate sections of the expensive weekend papers. What we had previously learnt was, every serious home hunter reads every ad in the paper for the area in which they are searching, including the small classifieds. There is no need to run full page colour ad to sell a house. Besides, most enquiries these days originate from the internet. The series of small classifieds placed by Kingfisher Realty with our open inspection times attracted as many, or more lookers, than the thousands of dollars worth of half page ads that we were convinced to provide for the first agent.

After a short hiatus to allow the house to ‘cool off’, Conal re-launched the marketing of our house and sold it after 4 weeks. We felt that Conal was very much tuned into our house and understood the benefits that it had to offer the market that it suited. Unlike the previous agent who consistently attempted to lower our price expectations from very early in the campaign, constantly telling us, “the market says it’s too small, not enough bedrooms, there’s no pool.” Conal simply told us, “it’s a beautiful house and we will achieve your price”.

Well, ultimately we would have liked more than we finally achieved, however it is a tough market. Throughout the process Conal and the team at Kingfisher kept us well informed of all activity. They are a very professional company, we won’t hesitate to engage Conal and Kingfisher Realty when we are ready to sell our next house.

Bill and I wish to thank you for the expert manner in which you conducted the sale of our property. We liked the way you presented our house and the presentation on the internet, also the fact that we were informed by email of the other properties you were showing. We also felt that you were totally honest with us and kept us informed of the progress of events.

We have no hesitation in agreeing with my sister in law and her husband, Margaret and Jack Want’s recommendations of your handling of their contract after your successfully sold their property in Dunlin Drive.

Foolishly we first gave a contract to another agent despite them urging to “ring Conal”, as a result we wasted over two months with only three inspections whereas when we contacted you we not only had quite a few people interested but three prospective buyers in as many weeks.

We would also like to thank the staff of Kingfisher Realty for their kindness and attention. Once again, thank you for your professional approach and expert marketing.

Bill and Betty Chant

A big thank you to Conal Martin and the team at Kingfisher on the successful sale of our property. In such a currently sow market the team at Kingfisher maintained a confident and enthusiastic attitude during our property listing.

All the staff at Kingfisher Realty have been extremely polite, friendly and very easy to approach with a professional understanding of our particular needs.

We wish Kingfisher Realty all the success in the future and would not hesitate in recommending them as an agent to anyone.

Raymond and Jayna Meuwissen

We are really happy with the result, Conal and his team negotiated our complex sale and purchase in a highly professional manner.

I doubt another agent would have got us over the line the way Kingfisher Realty did.

Thanks a million.

Mick, Jo and family

We wanted to express our appreciation for your help with the sale/purchase of our house.

Throughout the entire process you really helped us out by your genuine honesty and open communication.

The purchase of our first home was a fantastic experience because of you!

We cannot thank you enough.

Angie and Paul

Thank you for believing that we could achieve an amazing price for our house, especially in this market, and you did! You have always been positive and worked totally for us to obtain our goal. Your honesty is very refreshing.

You and the team at Kingfisher Realty kept us well informed of all activity. You are a very professional team, always friendly and approachable.

John and Jennie Stewart

We found that the service and professionalism of Kingfisher Realty to be of the finest order.

Michael Lowing

The house has been sold and I would highly recommend Kingfisher Realty to anyone thinking about selling their house. I was very pleased with the short amount of time the house was sold in. Conal was great and very professional and I hope to do business with Kingfisher again soon.

Adam Essery

The team at Kingfisher Realty were a pleasure to deal with. They sold our house in 7 days when other agents had it on the market for over four months.

Everyone was really friendly and easy to get along with and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking at buying or selling their home.

Thank you so much for everything and I will be sure to call you in the future!

Hans Brune

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who’ll think out of the box when selling your property then I can highly recommend Conal Martin of Kingfisher Realty. He’s a Burleigh local through and through and under the relaxed & friendly façade, a very sharp business man… a definite plus in this tough market.

If you’ve sold before then you’ll be aware of the usual agent spiels and emotional play involved in achieving a sell price, never a pleasant experience. We didn’t get this ‘chain store’ experience with Conal and although we made concessions with our sell price I feel we achieved a good end result without the not-so-subtle negativity you receive from a lot of agents in regards to your property’s perceived value.

All in all, a relatively smooth & easy experience (as much as selling can be) with a result that I am happy with. If I were selling again in the Burleigh area then Conal would be my agent of choice.

Caren Leotta

To Conal and the team at Kingfisher Realty. We wish to express our sincere thanks and satisfaction in regards to our recent purchase through Kingfisher Realty of a unit in Burleigh Street, Burleigh Heads.

We were pleased with your enthusiasm, professionalism and regular communications.

Your friendly and positive approach was very refreshing and helped to make the stressful process of buying a property a pleasant experience.

We would not hesitate in recommending your services and wish you and your team great success.

Mark and Maree Vormister

Conal has sold our property at Burleigh. We have dealt with Kingfisher Realty before and found them very easy to deal with.

This time we went Sole Agency with them and the inspection rate went up 100% more then when it was an open listing. Offers came almost immediately after .

We were very happy with the price he achieved as well and thank the whole team.

Mark and Sharon Maycock.

Thank you so much for all you did for us in selling our property at Rhode Island.

We wouldn’t have done so well if it wasn’t for you

Russell and Sue Otto

We had searched for months for a home. After discussing our needs with Conal Martin he took us straight to the home of our dreams, we made an offer and Conal made the deal for us.

No issue too big or too small, available at ridiculous hours and making contact just to say ‘Hello, How are things going?’

We could not be happier with the team at Kingfisher Realty.

Arthur and Diane Abrahams

The time had come, our little son was too big for our beach side oasis and we needed to move. We have bought and sold numerous times on the southern end of the coast before but always with a friend who worked in the real estate game. Having experienced the boom and subsequent correction in the market it was important for me that I form a relationship with a company that not only understood the market but also the needs of both its clients and buyers.

That is what you get with Kingfisher reality a relationship. From the outset Conal and the team were open, honest and supportive. Selling a house is said to be an extremely stressful time, well whoever penned the phrase has never worked with Conal before. Communication and feedback was excellent without being over bearing. We were informed of things we needed to be aware of and not some tied old industry lines. Conal and the team don’t just walk people through your house they match buyers to homes thus creating the best result for all parties involved in the short and long term. Thanks mate to you personally and Kingfisher Reality your genuine interest in your clients is not only refreshing but sets a bench mark few agencies would attempt to replicate.

Craig and Tara Alexander

We’re extremely happy with our investment property purchase through Conal at Kingfisher Realty.

At all times Conal was always honest and very straight forward in his dealings with us.

We feel confident that we’ve obtained the best deal possible, in the right area for future growth and investment.

Marlene and Jim Dartnell

Conal was great to deal with and the sale process of the property was quick, efficient and professional. Considering it was our first home purchase this side of things was all relatively easy.

Stephen and Karyn Williams

On behalf of Lauren, the girls and I we would like to express our extreme satisfaction and thanks for the work you guys put in for our recent sale and purchase of our properties.

With what can be a very stressful time both with the sale and purchase of a property your team made the transition very smooth, happy and calm for all involved.

No matter what time of day or night if I needed a question answered Conal always seemed to be at his office working away and only too happy to help.

If anyone is looking for a very hardworking, honest and reliable real estate firm we would not hesitate for one second about recommending Conal and the Kingfisher Team to sell or buy a property from.

Jesse Butt and the Girls.

When we decided to re-let our unit our unit at Miami, we were very impressed at the way the property management team at Kingfisher Realty handled it.

They advertised it on the net, had an open house which attracted up to twenty ‘lookers’ and had 5 written applications at the end of the open house.

Our property was leased within the week of the open house and inquiries were still coming in after it was leased.

We would recommend Kingfisher Realty to anyone who is wishing to rent their property as we have found them to be both professional and considerate to both the owners and the tenants.

Col and Kay Stanfield

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you once again for your assistance in selling our investment property. From the first moment we met, I felt at ease, you answered all of my questions honestly and provided information and facts to back up all your suggestions from pricing to advertising.

Thank you so much for working with us to gain a quick and satisfying result. I appreciate the time you took with our tenants to gain their trust and assistance with the open home and your regular communication to me throughout the sale, you made me feel like a valued client and not just a number.

I hope to call on you again in the future when I am thinking of purchasing our next property.

Leah & Chad Wheeler

We want to thank Conal for his efforts to make this purchase successful and going the extra mile to ensure the current tenants would stay. Everyone is happy with this result!

We are sure we will use this company again to find another good investment.

Luis and Glenis Westermeier

Kingfisher Realty is in our mind the number 1 real estate agency in Burleigh. Their knowledge of the area and the market is key to selling your home or purchasing your new property. They are true professionals and a pleasure to work with. On numerous occasions they have met our expectations and goals on both buying and selling properties. They are the most dedicated team of professionals we have worked with in real estate. We highly recommend the Kingfisher Team in selling or purchasing your property.

Emma and Jay Walker

This is the third home that Kingfisher Realty has sold for us at the best possible price. I have nothing but praise for this company and its amazing staff.

Terry McGrail

After listing with another agent, we have recently sold over two Gold Coast properties through Kingfisher Realty.

Conal and Marty gave good advice and value assessment and proceeded with the selling campaigns with commitment and enthusiasm. Their feedback to us during the the process was exemplary and we were impressed to receive offers and close the sales in a short time- one in only two weeks, the other in 5-6.

This was an excellent result for us in a slow market.

The staff at Kingfisher were co-operative, listening carefully to our comments and concerns and acting quickly when required. We would happily recommend their service to anyone who wants to get results in a property sale and be treated with respect and courtesy.

Joe and Sue Isakhan

We would like to thank you and the Kingfisher Realty team for their professional approach in completing the sale of our unit at Miami.

With the unit under lease whilst awaiting sale, they were very respectful of the tenants and at all times dealt in a very courteous and sympathetic manner.

They kept us up to date on all developments throughout the sale negotiations, even when we were on holidays and hard to contact.

Their pro-active, professional and produced a more than satisfying outcome.

Colin and Kay

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Conal and his staff members for their friendly professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Conal and would definitely choose him to represent us again in the future.

Gaylene Johnson

Conal must have something if he managed to achieve the near impossible- separating me from my freedom to spend! Or was it the property? Does one go without the other?
