I have been associated with Lea Real Estate for many years in their capacity as managers for our Coogee apartment building. During this time we have had to collaborate on many routine management issues as well as complex matters requiring special levies and major maintenance. These tasks were undertaken professionally, with more than satisfactory resolution, and whenever the opportunity allowed, with good humour.


Recently our flat was sold. Quentin Lea organised the details for a reasonable and most acceptable fee. All our questions were dealt with clearly and as often as we needed. Indeed, the collaboration was friendly, patient and straightforward. The experience was for us easy and cordial, conducted in a businesslike manner, and made as uncomplicated as such processes allow.


Our association with Lea Real Estate, and with Graham and Quentin Lea in particular, has been a pleasure. I commend their professional skills, developed over many years, and the character with which they conduct their business dealings.


And personally I thank them for their care and consideration over the many years of our acquaintance. Next time I have a real estate transaction to conduct, Ill give them a call.

“I leased a unit in Coogee from Lea Real Estate for 13 years and 8 months and have nothing but good to say of them. They were always friendly and professional. Responsive to any quires I had. Fixed any issues in a timely manner. Were always reasonable with any increases in rent due to the changing property market in Sydney. I only vacated due to moving interstate with work. Thanks Quentin and Nicolas.”

“Prior to listing, I interviewed several agents. I chose Quentin Lea because he had the experience and judgment needed to maximize my investment. They weren’t the loudest or most assertive voice in

the room, but they were the most knowledgeable and credible. Above all else,

they had integrity. Importantly, Lea earned the trust of buyers. I strongly

recommend Lea who diligently and conscientiously worked in my interests in a

difficult market. They were always available, and when things got tough

worked at all hours. They brought a long and uncertain sale process to a

successful conclusion to the satisfaction of both vendor and buyer. ”

To Whom It May Concern,


We have recently exchanged on a Unit to be sold at Bronte through Quentin Lea of Lea Real Estate. While the market may have been slow to yield committed buyers, Quentin’s persistence in following up all available prospects ensured the property was sold in a relatively short time period. His communication to us during the sale and bidding process was very good.


In addition, his awareness of our sale requirements was kept in the forefront of his negotiations with potential buyers throughout the advertisement and sale.


Quentin also maintained good relations with our tenant, which was not always easy due to circumstances beyond Quentin’s control. The rates offered by Lea are very competitive and overall add up to a greater return for anyone selling a property in Lea’s domain.


In summary, we would highly recommend Quentin and the Lea Real Estate for similar properties in the area.

To Whom It May Concern,


This note is to certify that Mr. Quentin Lea of Lea Real Estate successfully sold two residential units that I had owned in Ormond Gardens Coogee. The sale was completed in a very short time period after listing and at a price that fully met my expectations.


Mr. Lea carefully explained the current market conditions and his reasons for listing the properties at the chosen price. He has a very pleasant manner that I am sure assists him in his discussions with prospective purchasers. His own commission and advertising rates were very reasonable.


I would happily recommend Mr. Lea’s services to other prospective clients.

Hi Quentin,


I would like to take this opportunity to say, well done! Both my mother and I were delighted with the auction outcome. As your father said on the day, “it is like winning the lottery”!


I’m sure that your hard work in marketing the property had a great bearing on the outcome and you are to be congratulated on a fine job. The number of contracts that were issued in an indication of the interest you generated. The advertising and marketing plan was obviously spot on, so again I say, well done.

I wish to advise that I have known Quentin Lea, of Lea Real Estate, Coogee for approximately 2 years, in a business relationship.


I have found him to act on a professional and honest nature and whatever my enquiry, both my wife and myself have received immediate and efficient attention.


During the course of an auction campaign of our Kensington Unit during June found that it was run quite professionally and I must say my wife and myself were very pleased with the outcome. Any requests were handled promptly and efficiently.

Dear Quentin,


Having now moved into our new home Janet & I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for you efforts in selling our home. The final price of $435,000 was $20,000 over what we had expected and allowed us to settle comfortably into our new home. We also would like to thank you for taking your time to help us find a property to purchase when we were undecided about where to move. I have no hesitation in recommending you to any future clients who will no doubt benefit from the same professionalism and understanding that you have shown us. Once again, thank you and well done!

To Whom It May Concern,


In March of this year, I made the decision to sell my three bedroom semi cottage home at 80 Denison Street, BONDI JUNCTION. I listed my property with the sales manager of Lea Real Estate, Quentin Lea.


During the 6 week sales campaign Quentin kept me fully informed of the progress of the sale and was always polite and courteous. I was thrilled with when he realised a price of $910,000 which was comparable with the value of the larger terraces located nearby!


I have no hesitation in recommending Quentin as an honest & reliable salesman and I am sure he will do his best to achieve the highest possible price for your property also.

To whom it may concern,


It is with great pleasure that I write this reference for Mr Quentin Lea. Quentin and his late father Graham managed the rental of our apartment property in Randwick and those of our friends for many decades, dating back to the early 1970s. Recently Quentin managed the sale of our Randwick apartment.


From this long term experience and association my wife and I have found Quentin a person of great honesty and integrity. He is dedicated, efficient and professional, often responding to issues beyond the normal call of duties. His management of the campaign of the sale of our apartment was superb. His knowledge of potential buyers’ psychology, market conditions, regulations, his advice on renovations and the management of this process, all contributed to a very successful sale. The outcome with which we are very satisfied is evidence of Quentin’s achievement. We should also add that Quentin leads a team of efficient, professional and dedicated staff.


In sum we recommend Quentin without reservations.

Dear Quentin,


This short letter is to express my appreciation for your handling of the sale of my unit in Abbott Street, Coogee. Not only were you able to locate a purchaser willing to meet my asking price of $850,000, but to conduct the whole process from listing to settlement within 10 weeks.


May I also express my appreciation to Lea Real Estate for the professional and competent service it has provided me over many years as the managing agent during the time the unit has been rented, as well as for management of the strata scheme.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is to commend the service I received from Quentin Lea and his staff at Lea Real Estate on the recent sale of my apartment in Coogee.

I can highly recommend Quentin’s honesty and professionalism and graph of the market for my property. He provided me with an honest assessment of the value of my property and maintained impeccable integrity between potential buyers and myself clearly communicating our respective wishes.

Quentin’s advice to me was sound and turned out to be very accurate – reflecting his expertise and experience in and around the Coogee area. I was quite satisfied with the outcome of the sale in market conditions that were not optimal.

I can also very highly recommend Quentin’s property management services that I found to be far above the standard of other firms I have dealt with. Quentin managed my apartment in Coogee for nearly 4 years – his truly personal and responsible approach makes a world of difference.


I have no hesitation in urging potential customers to take up the services of Lea Real Estate for the selling or management of their property.

After recently selling a property through Lea Real Estate I can highly recommend Quentin Lea to anyone else who may be considering selling their home.

Quentin was wonderful right throughout the sale.

He was very committed to helping make the whole process as easy & stress free as possible for us by both advising us & then attending to the necessary details. We were also kept well informed throughout the entire sale process which achieved an excellent result on the first inspection day.

I have no hesitation in saying it was a pleasure doing business with Quentin & his team.

Dear Quentin,

I would like to thank you for your assistance with the sale of my property unit 19, 236 Rainbow Street Coogee NSW. That was the first property I have personally sold and as I have purchased a couple of property I thought it would be a simple process however soon found selling a property is a very difference experience.

I appreciated your knowledge of the local market specifically the block of units my property was in and felt I was provided with a realistic price guide. All communication was timely and professional with our property sold within a short period of time for a realistic price. There were a few difficulties presented during this process and this is where you really need help from someone with experience and you provided simple solutions to fix all problems.


Thank you for your assistance and I would recommend your services to anyone.

Dear Quentin,


I would like thank you and your dedicated staff for the many years of excellent work, managing our Maroubra property! We are glad, when the time arrived, we decided, you should market and sell our beloved house.

After all, you as the managing agent of it, you knew the property  much better then any of the “big shot” agents.

You did do such a good job with your professional and honest attitude, in the end of the deal, all parties were happy. The tenants, the buyers, the vendors and we hope, you, as the managing and selling agent, as well.
