"Lifestyle "A" Team! I had the pleasure of working with both Ailsa McArthur and Chelsea Allen purchasing a Section in Riverhead, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Their communication skills were outstanding – they kept me informed every step of the way and promptly addressed any questions I had.

You are a real estate team that other agents should aspire too :)."

Our experience of the auction process was complicated by having to attend remotely, due work commitments, and Ailsa ensured this went smoothly.

Chris and Nadeem, Dec 2022

Thanks Ailsa, we got that other buyer to the auction that was needed. Ailsa has an exceptional reputation, and she got the job done, after a disappointing long term agreement fell over at the last hurdle. Professional and honest and tells you how it is.

Karen, May 2022


"Fantastic agent, a joy to work with! Ailsa really has been such a pleasure to work with. It's clear that she is looking out for the best interests of her vendor, but does this whilst being extremely accommodating and helpful to the purchase (me!). I've often found vendor's agents to be quite difficult as they're there for the vendor only, but I just never got that sense from Ailsa. I think this ultimately comes down to Ailsa's people-first approach. Ailsa is also smart, professional, and knowledgeable. 100% would recommend Ailsa."
Olivia, May 2022

"Selling our family home was a significant event for us and having a good agent who would professionally market our property and get multiple buyers to our auction was important. We choose Ailsa McArthur to help us and were delighted with what she achieved. She is experienced, professional, a good communicator and she guided us through the selling process, allowing us to make the decisions while providing good advice in a way that we did not feel pressured. In the end we enjoyed selling our home and would highly recommend Ailsa and her team for people looking for a top-class real estate agent. Thanks, Ailsa, for selling our home."

Then finally the auction and success! A huge thank you to Ailsa and her team."

Henry and Judith, Dec 2021

Billy and Jenny, Oct 2021


"Alisa is an amazing agent to work with, she listened and adapted to our needs as vendors. She navigated our sale during lockdown which was fantastic. She is very professional, always ready to answer and queries we had and to ensure were informed at every stage of the process. I would highly recommend her to other vendors. Thanks Alisa and team for the great experience".
Anna, Sep 2021
 

"I found Ailsa and her team to be extremely professional and pleasant to work with. She and Chelsea set out very clearly the methods they envisaged regarding advertising and showing my home and were in constant contact over the time of the sales process. In my opinion they went well beyond what one would normally expect from agents, including staging the bedrooms with attractive pillows, quilts and rugs, spending hours clarifying points with the local council and then rallying buyers to participate in the auction in an extremely short time period. Over two open homes before lockdown they attracted over 50 groups to view the property and then achieved a price well beyond my expectations, all in a matter of three weeks. I have bought and sold a few houses before and can honestly say that they are by far the best salespersons that I have ever come across. I am most thankful to them both and also to Ani in the office who was quick to deal with a raft of paperwork and questions".
Lew, Aug 2021
 
 
"Well planned and executed sales campaign and very good communication throughout the process."
Denise and Graeme, May 2021


"Ailsa is incredible. She was right on the money with her assessment of the property and was tenacious in bringing purchasers to view, expounding all the virtues of the property until she landed our buyer. Ailsa has the highest moral standards and integrity. We will actively recommend her to buyers and sellers alike - she's no-nonsense and gets results".
Debby and Kurt, May 2021

 
"Superb service from start to finish. Unconditional recommendation."
Craig, Jun 2021

 
"I decided on Ailsa because she had sold a property next door to us, and in a very short space of time absolutely satisfied. Our sale was not a straightforward one but Ailsa was determined to get the result we wanted and she succeeded admirably. I certainly would recommend Ailsa and I would say that Ailsa would move heaven and earth to achieve her clients' satisfaction.  I doubt if you could improve on the service we received, not only from Ailsa but from the rest of her team."
Denis, Feb 2021

 
"We found Ailsa to be friendly and understanding in her approach to guiding us through the process of listing our property. Ailsa’s experience and knowledge of selling property in our location certainly gave us the confidence we had the right agent. Ailsa had a supportive team behind her who were able to organize and coordinate the photos, video and presentation with minimal disturbance to us. The communication throughout the sale process was excellent."
Shane and June, Feb 2021

 
"Ailsa was recommended by a family friend, and seeing the portfolio of properties she was busy selling, and have sold in the past, I knew she was a good fit for our property. I would recommend Ailsa. She knows the area, has a good team, finds potential buyers and manages to gently nudge potential buyers towards a higher price to make a deal work out for both parties."
Hugo, Feb 2021

  
"[We decided to use Ailsa as] we heard that she was the best agent in our area - lifestyle property specialist. Absolutely [we were satisfied with her service], she was very easy to get on with, as was her team.  A very real lady with a lovely personality who always managed our expectations and talked us through every emotion until resolved.  She treated us like she had all the time in the world for us, not to mention we received an awesome result!"
Glen and Michelle, Sep 2020

 
"Ailsa came highly recommended via word of mouth through a work colleague. Being told someone is a great communicator, knows the market in our area and will say it as it is was worth more than any cv or marketing material. We sold through a time of considerable uncertainty during Covid19 period. We didn’t really know what was going to happen but Ailsa and her team kept us up to date with how things were going with viewings. Viewings included open homes, private and remote viewings for buyers who were unable to travel or expats looking to come back from overseas. Ailsa and her team all worked very hard communicating with us via telephone, text, email and face to face. Really couldn’t have asked for more. If you want a hard working agent who knows the market, is honest and passionate about your property you will find no one better to help you sell and carry on with your journey wherever it may take you."
Mick and Liz, Jul 2020


"Of the three agents invited to submit proposals Ailsa’s presentation was the only one that addressed all of our topics with a level of detail that gave us confidence that she had a good grasp of the market and the drive to achieve a good outcome for us. We were regularly updated on market activity and there seemed to be consistent interest in the property culminating in a sale.  When recommending Ailsa, I would say to them “I’ve learnt that if you want something done give it to a busy woman. Ailsa is that busy woman."
Stephen and Susan, Dec 2020


"Having lived in Coatesville for 25 years ourselves we have known Ailsa for some time and knew that she knew the area and its property market better than any other agent.
Number one - Ailsa is totally tenacious and that is the single most important attribute that a vendor requires in an agent.  One who will not sit back and let a prospective buyer procrastinate and eventually talk themselves out of buying a particular property. In my opinion this attribute appears to be a bit lacking in the industry and if you find and agent who has this then they are solid gold.
Number two - Ailsa was always so well prepared whether she is meeting here for the first meeting or at any other time through the campaign she had all of her ducks in a row each time. She always had the campaign clearly mapped out, from market prices and comparisons, to home staging, the photos, the marketing and the all important method of sale. 
Number three - She is an excellent communicator, she knew precisely when to be in touch with the buyer and what to share with them, she was in constant contact with us keeping us completely up to date with progress allowing us to contribute necessary additional information and details to assist in her closing the sale. Ailsa kept the buyer interested and moving forward throughout the process.
Yes we would recommend Ailsa, she knows the market, she knows who the buyers are out there, she doesn't let go, in our case the buyer has seen many many properties in our area with many different agents but Ailsa was determined to make that buyer hers and that is what set her apart, we would never deal with an agent that could not do that."
Jaqui and Graham, Feb 2020


"Ailsa was professional, enthusiastic and empathetic. Communication was great and efficient. Strategy and marketing was effective."
 Terry and Athol, Oct 2019

"Ailsa is an excellent real estate agent. When Justine and I met with Ailsa we were impressed with her professional but relaxed approach, we knew we would get on well with her and that she would work hard to get a sale at the right price. She listened to us, was very attentive and ultimately obtained the selling price that we desired in a difficult market. Highly recommended. I’d say go to Bayleys #1 Agent in Albany, you won’t be disappointed!"
 Alistair and Justine, Aug 2019

 
 "Ailsa is approachable with a clear can-do-attitude, making the process of selling or buying less stressful. She is very professional. Give her a call and have a chat, then make your own decision. We had a positive experience and would use her service again."
Barbara and David, Apr 2019
