Hear From Happy Clients

Emily Taurins-Gilbert was the first agent we dealt with who really meant it when she said she’d help us find a home. And she did! But the real bonus for us was her willingness to assist us once our offer was accepted. Find me another agent who will help you measure up your new home, climbing into closets and the bathtub with the measuring tape heels and all! If you list a property with Emily (or you’re looking to buy in inner west Melbourne), you’ll be in the best hands.
— Miranda Murray, Essendon Buyer

Thank you so much for all your work with my property. I am so grateful and happy that I went with Pennisi to sell my property. Emily you were amazing as well as your whole support team, Carly, Karter and Andrew. Thank you once again, I will 100% recommend you all to anyone who is selling their property.
— Jennifer Sutherland, Essendon Seller

We were all overjoyed to receive the incredible hamper from you. It was very unexpected and very much appreciated. Needless to say the contents have been devoured with great relish. Dee and I are very grateful for all the work and dedication you and your team put into getting the house ready to be sold. The outcome was spectacular – both in the presentation and the sale figure. Your company is to be highly commended for its expertise and personable service.
— Russell & Dee Curtis, Moonee Ponds Sellers

Emily took great care in selling our property. She went above & beyond. If you’re looking for someone to sell your home I would recommend Emily.
— Tammy Butera, Brunswick Seller

Andrew and Emily were a pleasure to deal with. They made a great team working so closely and effectively with us making sure that we understood all aspects of the selling of our property. We were very pleased with the result that they achieved for us.
— Isabel Salpietro, Essendon Seller

We can’t thank Emily, Carly & Andrew enough for helping us sell our investment property. The team are extremely professional, transparent & dedicated, with the ability in making our experience feel special & unique. The team go the extra mile & I’m very glad we chose them as our agent.
— Ella Bendezu, Brunswick West Seller

Highly recommended the team at Pennisi Real Estate. It was a pleasure to work with them selling our house. Emily, Andrew, Carly and team are friendly, easy to work with and honest. They made the whole process easy in a stressful time I was going through. They would not let me sell for a price that they didn’t think was just. It was my first time working with real estate agents selling a property and they were there anytime for advice and support whenever I needed it, and always kept me updated. They were spot on in the market in a tricky time. If you are thinking of selling, buying etc. I cannot recommend Pennisi Real Estate highly enough! Very professional team. I am so happy I choose them and they got me an exceptional result. Thank you so much Emily, Andrew & the team at Pennisi.
— Dean Clinch, Aberfeldie Seller

Emily was amazing! I nicknamed her ‘glasses’ because she has amazing glasses! Emily was kind, professional and she made the process more enjoyable. I found my dream home thanks to Emily (glasses).
— Ginetta Mammarella, Home Buyer

It was a real pleasure to work with Emily Taurins-Gilbert and the office. She worked really hard to secure me the perfect place as I had specific requirements. The buying process was extremely smooth and stress-free. Emily was always prompt in answering my questions and punctual to our meetings. She is not “just” a Real Estate agent, she is a caring Real Estate agent. I recommend her highly and I will not hesitate to use her expertise in the future. Thank you Emily and thank you Sam Pennisi.
— Elisabetta Brancato

I received excellent service from Emily Taurins-Gilbert. Great communication, very efficient, warm and friendly. Sold my unit within a few weeks. Really lovely to work with.
— Linda Maxwell

I chose Pennisi to sell my home because 20 years ago I purchased the home through them. They were great back then & still are now. Emily Taurins-Gilbert was amazing, her support & communication through the process was next to none. To Emily, Andrew & all the Pennisi team thank you, I’m very happy in my new home but if I every decide to sell I will definitely come to you.
— Debra Vidovic

Listing and selling my property with Pennisi Real Estate was a positive experience. Emily Taurins-Gilbert was friendly, approachable, and easy to contact for queries and issues at all times. This made the selling process less stressful and I was informed at all times.
— Barbara Capewell

I have only positive things to offer about my 30 plus year relationship with Pennisi RE and in particular Emily Taurins-Gilbert who helped sell my home recently.
— Grant Whitley

Ms Emily Taurins-Gilbert has recently helped us settle the 1st home in Airport West. We are a small family of 3, we are working full time, very busy with a little one. When we were looking for properties, efficiency and great location are the key things as we want to settle down after Covid period. Luckily we met Emily in one inspection and almost decided to buy it in few days. She helped us know the house, environment and location very well, offered generous support when we have questions and requests. The whole buying process is very pleased, respectful, smooth and warm, we love her way of work, efficient, kind, details oriented, she always smiles, calms, and offered her help to us without providing any pressure onto us! Most importantly, she is very professional!!! What an impressed team of Pennisi - including Andrew, Carly, etc. If next time we will sell or buy house, I will definitely come to Emily again, thank you for all your help!!
— Michelle & Michael & Zimo

Emily, Andrew & Carly, we are very impressed by Pennisi team’s efficiency and professionalism, thanks!
— Jingwei, Airport West

The property was on the market less than a week and the price more than exceeded our expectations. The result, we believe was achieved by skilled negotiators. The whole selling experience was “smooth sailing” with very little disruption and no inconvenience. Dealing with a company that has old fashioned honest values and exceptional customer service made selling our home of 26 years painless.
— Tom & Jan Steele

You were able to achieve a sale price that was 10% greater than our own realistic price we had set, and within 60 hours of listing the property!
— Neil & Lind Magennis, Essendon

Just a quick note to express Jackie and my gratitude for helping us sell our house. When the process started we had 3 different agents come and discuss our property and its potential for sale value. It was clear from the beginning that your approach suited our sale philosophy the best (and cost us nothing to “have a go”). You provided a clear structure to the sales campaign and one that I felt comfortable signing up to. I was also impressed that after inspection by the greater Pennisi team you recommended we increase our initial advertised price to ensure we returned the highest price possible. I think that this really helped us achieve our final sale result (which was at your team’s expected price). Our sale experience with Pennisi was over in 10 days but our future deals will continue for a lot longer. This has been evident with your assistance in finding us a new home, and market research provided to me. Many thanks to the Pennisi team.
— Steven and Jackie

Your firm acted as selling agent for my home in Ascot Vale last year, and I would like you to know how satisfied I was with your services. Indeed, the contrast between Pennisi, and my experiences with other real estate agents, could not have been more marked. Your sales team sold my property in less than 2 weeks, at a price that was not only well above my reserve, but also the top level of your market appraisal (an appraisal that had been independently confirmed by another agent before I appointed your firm). They were able to achieve this with minimal disruption or inconvenience: no open inspections, no auction, and no time-wasting with inappropriate prospects. The first two parties to inspect both made written offers, and one of these became the final purchaser, after negotiation… I was kept well-informed throughout the process, calls were returned promptly, and I was confident that your firm was honest and ethical. I have bought and sold a number of properties in the past, and on the basis of this experience I would certainly seek to appoint Pennisi Real Estate for future dealings.

My wife and I would like to thank you for the handling of the sale of our property in Brougham Street, North Melbourne. Prior to you selling the property, we were approached through another real estate agency. This particular agent told us he had a very keen buyer and a quick sale could result. This did not transpire. We then attempted to sell with this other agency via auction. This was also a failure. We had no bids and we left with advertising costs and no sale. We withdrew the property for sale with that agent. We then had a discussion with you at Pennisi Real Estate. You gave us an honest appraisal and explained the process of sale very clearly. We understood a no sale would incur no costs. You were also particularly sensitive and accommodating with our tenant at the property. Only genuine buyers inspected the property. We were ecstatic that the property sold within two weeks. In addition to the quick sale, you also sold the property for considerably more than the previous agent had told us was our best price! We have no hesitation in recommending yourself and Pennisi Real Estate when selling a property and we will be telling as many people as possible. Once again thank you and we look forward to the next time we decide to sell a property.
— Shane McEwan

Honest approach, didn’t make unrealistic promises, kept me well informed and returned calls and dealt with my requests promptly and effectively. Had my best interests at heart. Have already recommended my associates to deal with Pennisi.
— D. Williams

The property sold after three weeks. The price was at least $10,000 to $15,000 more than we would have otherwise accepted and we couldn’t be happier.
