The team at Noosa Heads are flat out brilliant, a massive thanks to Patsy and Kellie who did the impossible and had me approved for a lease within 4 hours of my initial phone call, in the middle of a rental crisis no less. You guys are a credit to the company and in the handful of people today who still deliver quality and true customer service, above and beyond.

Kellie provided a very professional and detailed checklist of the things I needed to address prior to putting my property on the market for rental. Then with an understanding of my requirements, Kellie found an ideal tenant within a few weeks. I was very happy with the rental price and with the service Kellie provided for a few quotations and repairs on the property. Kellie then managed the relationship with the tenant prior to me putting the property up for sale. I understand Kellie has been recognised at Real Estate Industry Awards for her professionalism, and I can see why. I would not hesitate

The Whole Experience Was Excellent!
Outstanding customer service, great to deal with & very professional! We were very lucky to get the amazing Duo Les and Jack whom went above and beyond with everything. This was our First Home Purchase and everything from the open inspection, putting an offer forward to settlement was a smooth and enjoyable process. Penny (Admin Manager) was a delight to deal with. Absolutely recommend Laguna Real Estate and speak to Les or Jack if you're selling or buying! Happy and Proud Owners- Tewantin
