Testimonials

Their intimate market knowledge and development expertise have allowed them to exceed our expectations in terms of Apartment site sales during 2019, with focussed and structured campaigns achieving outstanding results for the business. Their level of service and reporting during campaigns exceeds the standard we have experienced with other agents. They also provide significant value add outside of marketing campaigns, providing assistance with market driven design outcomes, feasibility analysis and overall market updates”. Matthew Byrne, Senior Economic Development Manager, Stockland
“Nick Dowling and Baydn Dodds and their team at Colliers Sunshine Coast were outstanding in selling our 5,500m2 vacant block at Noosa Heads. They set out a clear plan for how the block would be marketed and sold, and worked hard for us. They left no stone unturned in trying to achieve the highest possible price for our holding. Nick and Baydn’s professionalism and courteousness made the experience a pleasant one. Above all, they were diligent in keeping contact with us so at each stage we felt well-informed about progress. I would recommend Colliers Sunshine Coast to prospective sellers in the highest possible terms” David Thannhauser
“We appointed Baydn Dodds of Colliers International to market the balance stage of our Nambour subdivision via an EOI campaign. Baydn has an intimate knowledge of the local residential development market and was able to use this to add value to the process and to the end value we achieved for our property. Overall the campaign was run professionally and we are very happy with the result. Baydn has a personal approach and had no hesitation in going the extra mile to achieve a result”. Alan Wheeler – Hillscorp
“We engaged Baydn Dodds & Nick Dowling at Colliers Sunshine Coast to market our approved rural residential Buderim development property which we owned for 35 years. Baydn & Nick really added value by having an excellent understanding of the buyer profile and were outstanding in marketing it through their special projects team. They are true commercial real estate professionals and achieved a great result.” Richard Cleaver, Business Development Manager – Bank of Queensland
“Our family has nothing but praise and gratitude for the way that Nick and Baydn handled the sale of our parents’ property. Their proposal was so well researched and their choice of an Expressions of Interest campaign was perfect for a property that was last on the market 70 years ago. They showed the property’s potential, not only to developers but to people seeking a lifestyle change 100 metres from the beach. The whole campaign was flawless. They have great communication skills and a deep understanding of the market locally, nationally and internationally. We were in great hands and can’t thank Nick and Baydn enough for their tireless efforts and support along the way”. Peter & Julie Weir - 14 Memorial Avenue, Cotton Tree
