Alister Barrett

You're truly a kind guy Alister, a rarity! We're very grateful for all your time.

Alister was the first agent to reach out to me after searching options online and we hit it off immediately ! He has been sensational every step of the way - and mind you it was a pretty short journey as we got a great sale price after only a week of advertising ! I’d recommend him to anyone - professional, honest and so easy to work with - he definitely had my best interests at heart ! Thanks Alister !

Working as a buyer with Alister made the purchase go smoothly. As I am moving from another State, I was nervous about the NSW process. I received good guidance from Alister who kept in touch along the way and quickly responded to my many questions. I hope not to move again but, if I did, I’d certainly engage Alister as my agent.

Alister's market knowledge and experience are second to none. He made this process enjoyable for all parties involved. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Alister to anyone requiring assistance with their property needs. Thank you Alister.

Understands the clients expectations and makes quick moves

Alister's professionalism was exemplary. He was able to tread the line between optimism and realism. Selling a house is stressful to say the least, and he navigated us through it to a satisfactory end

You can rely on Alister to listen, to be understanding and compassionate, to be respectful to all concerned, and to do everything he can to help us, the client, achieve our goals. We achieved in fact exceeded our price target thanks to Alister.

His professionalism , positivity and knowledge was outstanding ! We were in the best possible hands . We feel so very privileged to have found such an amazing Agent. Thank you Alister , and we highly recommend you !

Alister sold us a home in 2013 and we were very impressed, so when we needed to sell our house in 2023 we went back to him and haven't been disappointed. Professional, well-informed, hard-working and absolutely on the side of the vendor, he got us a great result in only 10 days. We highly recommend him.

Alister Barrett has all of the attributes one hopes for in a Real Estate Agent, i.e. Professionalism, competency, ready availability etc. But he has also, an attribute that I consider rare in a real estate agent viz. I felt always that Alister had my interests foremost in his mind and was not just chasing a commission. This was apparent in the advice that he gave me during the process of price negotiation and in his creativity in presenting my property eg sunrise-sunset photographs. I recommend Alister highly to any potential vendor and in fact, have done so already.

Alister has done a great job in selling our apartment. He has been flexible in tailoring the approach based on our needs at the time and always kept us up to date with the latest developments. Easy to deal with and always accessible. Would recommend.

Having engaged Alister Barrett five years ago in selling my unit, I sought his services once again for my recent property sale. Alister's knowledge of the market, professional advice and marketing of both properties has been exemplary. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Alister as an agent of choice.

"Alister followed us up from previous year. He had some buyer interest and he was prepared to fund some marketing expenses himself when appropriate to aid in the sale process. He is concise, focused and practical in all he does. He was able to leverage buyers to our mutual advantage, was aware of what price we were after and secured a sale price in excess of our expectations - great result was a credit to him!"

In regards to the matter of selling my mothers home of in Randwick as a novice vender I am pleased to review the experience and make comment. I know nothing of the job that laid ahead. I feel I was guided through the process by Alister in a forthright manner with his guidance at the end of the process proving invaluable with a very good result being reached. The promotion of the property on all forms written, photography and social media was of a very high standard and better than expected. I was concerned that the property would not be looked after during the open house inspections. This turned out not to be the case. The home was left neat, tidy and clean after each inspection. Overall, the experience was very satisfying not overly stressful and a good result for all. I would not hesitate in recommending The Agency or Alister to anybody who would listen. In summary a very good experience with nothing to be concerned about or unforeseen matters causing delays.

I am grateful to have been recommended to Alister Barret (Property Partner, The Agency) through a friend. Alister was instrumental in us scoring well above the initial asking price for the recent sale of our mother’s house; it was situated in a suburb that was unfamiliar to him, and in a volatile market: one that was made more challenging with the combined obstacles of COVID-19 and the current recession. His personal qualities of reliability, patience, optimism and determination kept us buoyant in these uncertain times. Alister seems ideally suited to an industry that can either make or break expectations. Will certainly recommend him to others.

Very positive and attentive willing to listen to client Alister has extensive market knowledge and had a really honest and positive attitude particularly considering such uncertain times of Covid in Sydney

Being an Inner West local meant he had a very strong network and understanding of the local conditions, lifestyle and what attracts people to particular locations. Nothing was too much trouble, even offering to lend a hand with manual labour. Alister delivered exactly what he promised as far as the way he approaches a sale. We definitely felt he understood us and our property. I would highly recommend Alister.

Dear Alister It’s been a pleasure to work in partnership with you in selling our property in Annandale. Your professionalism and dedication has been greatly appreciated. Your advice and knowledge of the inner west property market has been an asset for us. Your go to market strategy has been spot on. We achieved an ideal result that will position us well for our next move. You are a highly recommended agent that tells it how it is! Often it’s not easy for vendors to be open as selling your home is often met with mixed emotions and a lot of personal attachment. To sum it up dealing with you has been wonderful for our family. You made this process seamless and successful.

Alister has recently sold my first home. With settlement fast approaching, I would like to recognise the exemplary work that Alister has undertaken to achieve a fantastic result. Alister was professional and understanding during the pre-campaign phase. He saw that there was a struggle to complete simple tasks prior to taking photos - luckily, given his extensive experience Alister “knew a guy” for everything. Alister ensured that photos, staging and promotional materials were reasonable, relevant and professional. The home looked incredible. Alister’s network and knowledge in these domains lead to incredible views and foot traffic in the first week! As the campaign continued, Alister gave relevant feedback as well as opinions and advice where appropriate or requested. Alister ensured the auction was an incredible success, and has been a pleasure to liaise with during the settlement period. Alister, I cannot thank you enough for the wealth of knowledge, professionalism and dedication you brought to this sale. You were invaluable to a process that was already tedious in nature. I highly recommend Alister Barrett of The Agency.

We highly recommend Alister! He did a great job of explaining the process to us and building relationships with the interested buyers. He is straightforward and we felt we could trust him. Alister managed the process in a way that got many bidders to the auction on the day and he delivered an excellent result for us, exceeding our expectations. We would both recommend him as an estate agent.

We chose Alister to represent us, as his prior sales history in the Glebe area had confirmed he could get the best price possible. Alister from the start made himself available at all hours of the day, was in constant contact and answered all our questions and as first time sellers, we had many! He guided us through the process, which we very much needed and made it as painless as he could. His recommendations and contacts were invaluable to us and saved us so much time and stress. He is tenacious and resolute in his follow ups with prospective buyers which is exactly what you require in your agent. His feedback was timely and at times of indecisions, we found ourselves saying ”Let’s ask Alister, he’ll know!” We would have no problem in recommending him to future Glebe sellers (or buyers) as he really does know the area and market.

I used Alister Barrett’s services to sell my terrace house in Annandale. During the sale process, Alister went well above and beyond my service expectation levels. He was instrumental in preparing the property for sale and always provided numerous options for me to choose from when it came to staging, photography, and marketing. Alister is friendly, personable, enthusiastic, and has expert knowledge of the area being a local resident himself. Following the sale of the property, it was clear that Alister not only built a great relationship with myself as a vendor, but also with potential buyers which was evident by the huge interest drawn for auction. I would not hesitate to use Alister’s services again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell a property in the area.

I would like to thank Alister Barrett from The Agency for all his help in the successful sale of my investment property. As I live 700km from Sydney it was very difficult for me to be around for the preparation and sale of the property, Alister made the pre-sale organising and the relocation of our tenant's process very smooth and easy. Alister reassured us of all parties interested in real time and was never uncontactable. I would not hesitate to recommend Alister to any potential sellers considering selling their properties and I am sure they will have a transparent and successful result.

What a result! We met Alister some two years ago and from our initial meeting we walked away incredibly confident we had the right agent not only for our house yet the location in Glebe. Alister's understanding of Glebe is second to none, yet even more impressive is his understanding of what the Toxteth Estate is and its importance to the suburb of Glebe. This was made apparent with the result Alister secured for the sale of our family home at 19 Arcadia rd. Glebe. Alister's attention to detail and negotiating skills are exemplary and proven. We would have great delight in utilising alister skills again and would recommend him to any seller in glebe .He is a magician. From the day we met alister to now he is always reiterating how wonderful the suburb is. Alister hands down believes glebe is THE BEST suburb in Sydney.

Dear Alister, just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your effort you put into selling our house. I have not sold a house before in Australia and had no idea of the process. Your enthusiasm and energy you put into this was truly amazing. Thank you also for all the guidance along the way from helping with solicitors to putting us in touch with reliable tradies and stylists. You certainly helped us to get the house up to scratch and ready to be sold. All your recommendations were spot on! We really appreciate your prompt responses to all my panicky queries, it makes such a difference when things are resolved so speedily. We were very impressed with your knowledge of the Glebe market and our expectations were surpassed with the results of the sale. In a difficult market, your pre-auction negotiations were certainly impressive resulting in a sale prior to Auction which we were delighted with. I would be very happy to recommend you to any future vendors – if anyone would like a verbal reference, feel free to pass on my details to them, they should use you as their agent. Thanks once again Alister, you are a star!
