“Dear Fay, As our sale of 7/21 Rosalind Street Cammeray was settled recently, Chris and I wish to express our appreciation of your assistance in this process.
As you know, there were difficult issues outside of our control which you handled so well. The whole operation, from your initial advice and input during the selling process, was professional and reassuring. You were always available to contact and even during your time away, you kept in touch by phone - something that was really appreciated. With Joe's constant follow up in keeping us informed of the situation, we had no concerns that we were in the right hands.
We would certainly have no problems in recommending your service at Century 21. Many, many thanks, Kindest regards.”
Leone Minahan – Cammeray
“Excellent property manager and Sales agent. We first engaged Fay in March last year to manage our Cremorne property. We were thoroughly impressed with her responsiveness, knowledge of the area and professionalism. Naturally, when it came time to sell that property, we engaged Fay and were not disappointed. She managed to get great exposure for our property and helped us sell during a particular difficult period in the market. I would not hesitate recommending Fay and her team.”
Gerald Carides - Cremorne
“Fantastic knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. Faye and the team started off looking after one of our properties and we chose them because of their expertise in this space. The service had always been great, and this is what led to us choosing them when deciding to sell the property. Faye was very helpful throughout the process, she knew the market well, had great communication and also put in a huge amount of effort to fulfill the requirements of potential buyers. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the result and would highly recommend Faye and the team for both property management and sales.”
Eric Wong – Neutral Bay
“Fay proved to be everything one looks for in an agent. She is a pleasure to deal with and is committed to going the extra mile to achieve the best outcomes. I can recommend her without hesitation and reservation.”

Very professional and highly recommended.”

“I had an amazing experience with my real estate agent, Fay Petrou of CENTURY 21 Harbourside. She showed professionalism, honesty and understanding throughout the sale of my property in Mosman, NSW. The carefully selected photos and well-written descriptions of the property attracted more than twice the average number of visitors during home inspections. She demonstrated excellent negotiation skills with potential buyers and she worked very hard and long hours through a tough market. The was passionate about the sale of my property, and she did not hesitate to show the property outside inspection hours. Having her office nearby helped enormously for local knowledge and buyers' expectations. I would highly recommend Fay Petrou for the sale of your property.”
Alex Kern - Mosman

“Thank you, Fay, for the sale of my property ……. it was a very smooth transaction.”
Karl Richardson
“Fay Petrou at Century 21, Harbourside, recently handled the sale of my investment property with great skill and care. She advertised and negotiated the sale, obtained an excellent price and dealt with any concerns of potential purchasers. She arranged to make the place as presentable as possible and I was most impressed with the virtual technology used to advertise the unit. She handled exchange over the Christmas shutdown period, liaised well with my solicitor and the purchaser’s solicitor.
She had also managed the property for the previous 2 years during which time she found a very good tenant and dealt with any issues which arose. Fay and her team made both management and sale very easy for me.
Kim Wilkins – North Willoughby
“Fay was fantastic for us, giving practical advice across rental and sale, which helped get best return during a time of very high uncertainty. Incredibly professional and went the extra mile. Highly recommend her. Thank you, Fay!”

Dear Fay
Your parcel arrived this morning. I have just unpacked it. I love all three pieces! They shall sit on my kitchen counter and not just for decoration. Thank you so much for your gifts, but especially for the thoughts behind it.
I am so grateful for the effort you made to sell my house. David said he wished he’d had someone like you in Melbourne! I do hope you get lots of clients so that they can see not all realtors are the same!
I am beginning to settle in my new abode which includes planning my garden. Will send you pictures when done, better still, come and visit!
Big hug and love - Ruth Inall. Falcon Street Neutral Bay

Fay, we’d like to thank you for all your hard work in selling Mum’s unit in Kirribilli. The result was excellent. Your friendliness and warm attitude really added to the confidence you gave us about this sale. Congratulations to you and your staff. If you are ever up this way, please drop in for a cuppa. – Doug & Jillian White
Fay, please accept my sincerest thanks for all the work you did for me in the sale of my property. I’m looking forward to post-auction celebratory champagne to toast our success! – Lisa Hansford
Fay, I thought selling my home was going to be tremendously stressful. You were able to make the process seamless and achieved an outcome far beyond my expectations. Thanks for the hard work, as always. – Paul Di Vito

I just like to thank Fay Petrou for the professional and friendly services provided to me over the recent sale of my property. It is my opinion that Fay provided extensive knowledge of the property market, was thorough in her work, communicated well, was responsive to my requests, and achieved a sale value far in excess of my expectations. I won’t hesitate in using Fay and Century 21 for any future property market requirements in the future.
Best Regards - Matthew Woodland
Dear Fay,
It was spending to see you both the other night. Both properties have settled or nearing a settlement. All should be completed within the next couple of days at most. You both worked so hard and I am very grateful. The University will no doubt be very appreciative. Very many thanks. - Dr. Peter Makinson
Dear Fay,
Sorry, it has taken me such a long time to get back to you after the Auction. I was hoping I would see you again so we could have a glass of champagne to toast our success. Please accept my sincerest thanks for all the work you did for me in the sale of my property. I will be sad to move out as I have loved living in it but was pleased to see that Katie was so excited at her purchase. I am sure it will continue to be loved. I will definitely send you some comments you could use in future brochures about your work but that may take a few more days before I get organised to type it.
Yours sincerely - Lisa Hansford
Dear Fay,
Thank you for the letter of 26 May congratulating Benjamin and me on purchasing Bannerman Street. I have no doubt without your assistance and prompt action we would not have been as fortunate as we were to secure the property.
Benjamin and I would be pleased to recommend you to our friends and clients as an agent who is professional but most of all a wonderful person to deal with.
Yours sincerely - Phillip Evans
Dear Fay,
Thank you, both Susan and I appreciate the effort you made in selling our home. With an uncertain market the strategy that you recommended paid off with a quick sale at a price that was higher than what other agents believed possible. Your contacts and network help with a smooth and well-managed project. Without any reservations, we would recommend your services to all of our friends, family, and associates. - John James
Fay was fantastic to deal with throughout the sale process. I would highly recommend her. Great Agent!
Michael Serg - Purchaser
I recently purchased a unit through Fay Petrou of Century 21 Harbourside. I found the service fantastic.
Fay Petrou was always courteous, knowledgeable, and punctual. The unit was well prepared and the open day where I inspected the unit was well prepared. I have now exchanged contracts and again Fay was excellent in assisting negotiations. I would highly recommend Fay Petrou. - Kim Wilkins. Happy customer.
