Testimonials

Di was very helpful with details about how to buy the property and any questions that I had, if she didn't have the answer then and there, she would find out for me and let me know asap. She always responded to my calls and messages promptly and with a friendly manner. She was great to work with.

Di is an exceptional agent and I highly highly recommend her.
I found Di to have an authentic and respectful, well-informed and professional approach…with a genuine desire to establish and maintain a transparent and honest relationship.
These somewhat unique ( from experiences with realestate/ similar transactions) qualities helped give me confidence in my decisions. Di thoroughly answered every query I had…either immediately or through expedient consultation with the vendor.
Thankyou Di

My wife and I have recently had to go through a difficult sale of my mother in laws rural property and I am very glad that I made the decision to go with Property Plus. I was originally going to contact another agent but decided to have a look at who had been selling properties in the area and it was clear that Property Plus knew the (small rural) area well as Di has sold a number of properties in the area in recent years.
Nathan is a genuine down to earth guy, who while easygoing, has a can do attitude which made things much easier and less stressful than I was expecting. While most of my dealings with Property Plus were with Nathan, Di did a lot of hard work behind the scenes and was instrumental in getting the deal done. The property required some work to get up to selling standard, and Nathan was a great help in regards to finding tradespeople for various jobs as I am not from the area. Being a large acreage, it required quite a bit of cleaning up for the new owner and it would have been a nightmare if not for the assistance of Nathan.
I don't leave a lot of reviews, so the fact that I am going to the trouble of typing one shows that I would absolutely recommend these guys.
I am glad I took the extra time to look at who I was going to list with as I believe it made a huge difference to what could have been a much harder and stressful situation. So 5 stars all the way from us and thanks again Nathan and Di.

Di’s market knowledge for the area was comprehensive and after a lot of care and attention a sale was achieved. She kept us informed about interest in the property and worked seven days a week to bring about the sale. We appreciate the amount of effort she has put in and would be happy to engage her in the future and to recommend her to others seeking a competent and hardworking agent for their own property sale.

- Jennifer
Harcourt

Di was great to work with on the purchase of the property. She provided us with everything we needed as the buyer, which ultimately also achieved a great result for her vendor. I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing off Di again if the opportunity presented.

Hi Property Plus Team and especially Di Selwood,

Just wanted to let you know that we love our new home in McInnes St. We are still unpacking and still can’t find everything but we will get it all shaken into place soon.

And we wanted to say a huge thanks to Di… Di, you were so helpful, knowledgeable and caring. We really enjoyed every meeting time with you. We would recommend any of our friends who need help with real estate that they contact you because we know that you would look after them like you looked after us.

Thanks again,

Di was a pleasure to deal with. She was very professional and always responded promptly to any questions we had. Di was very knowledgeable of the property and surrounding local area. We would highly recommend Di if you are selling or purchasing a property.

- Donna

Di is a clear, efficient, timely communicator. She made the purchase of our first home easy, enjoyable and exciting. She worked around 2 shift workers on opposite shifts to ensure inspections, phone calls and important information was not missed by both parties.

- Rebecca
Golden Square

We spoke with Di regarding the requirements, price range we were after for everyone which we knew was on the higher side of market. We relied on Di to attempt firstly to achieve and the ways of gaining the best results possible, in the end the issue of a Queensland buyer appeared to be an small problem as the different states have different rules and proved a challenge at times I'm sure, but Di handled everything very professionally and to suite our requirements achieving a very good outcome.

- Darryn
Campbells Creek

Di was very professional and supportive throughout the process. Given this was during Covid lockdown she did terrific work to continue to engage prospective buyers. Her advice, support and clarity was much appreciated. I received a price which I was very happy with and has allowed me to move on to a new phase of life. Thank you

Di won me over with her approach to the sale, her recommendation of the advertising,
the stress free professional way Di handled all facets of the sale.
Di made it very easy for me from start to finish.
Di had researched thoroughly before she attended our initial meeting. I am very pleased and would recommend Di Selwood to any one I knew entering the property market for a sale or purchase of a property.

- Heather
Kangaroo Flat

In my initial meeting with Di she was able to inform me of the current trend in house sales for my region. She was able to recommend a sale price and the logic for her suggestion as well as appropriate advertising. My concerns were listened to and she did not impose her own opinions.
During the sale process she kept me informed and promptly dealt with issues regarding the final phase.

- Marian
Kangaroo Flat

Di was very professional, caring, and very considerate to our situation. Understanding to what we were going through. The property was sold quickly and with no issues. Would recommend Di to sell another for us if we needed and recommend her to other people.

Real estate agents often get a bad rap but our recent experience with Di Selwood was nothing less than extraordinary! From our first planning meeting Di’s friendliness, quiet confidence, professionalism, and excellent industry knowledge helped us to feel supported and optimistic. Di coordinated the photographic shoot and her eye for detail was amazing. She worked with the photographer to ensure that every photo told a story. Throughout the short sale period Di was constantly communicating. We knew when appointments were scheduled and feedback was timely and honest, which meant we were fully informed at every stage. Without Di, the sale of our house would have been far more stressful. We can’t thank her enough and are delighted to recommend her!

- Greg and Vicki
Kangaroo Flat

Di Selwood experience in selling our home was outstanding.

We had a brilliant experience with Di when we bought our property. Di was a genuine, transparent agent - someone we immediately felt we could trust and talk openly with. She has a great understanding of the local area and showed care for both ourselves and the family selling the property. We'd highly recommend Di as an agent!

- Rebecca & Shaun
Barkers Creek

Di worked closely with us to discuss our sale from beginning to end. She understood the market and knew the right clientele to sell our much loved house too. Di was only a phone call away and kept us in the loop through the whole process, resulting in a successful sale in under 2 weeks. We cannot thank Di enough for making the whole process so smooth. Caring, genuine and trustworthy. Special thanks also to Kaylene for her assistance along the way.

- Linda
Castlemaine

Di was absolutely brilliant. She gave us great advice about presenting our home for sale. And is honest in her appraisal. Great communication throughout the process. And sold for us after the first open house. By far the best agent in the area.

- Kylie
Castlemaine

Hi Di, just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for Bill and I during the sale. It was an amazing experience Bill is an absolute darling and I completely love it here. It's coming along slowly as you know there's a building boom but the vision is starting to manifest. If you're in the area send me a text and see if I'm here and you'll have to come and have a look. I hope all is well with you and once again thanks so much to you and Nathan and the team there at Bendigo Property Plus!

- Louise
Shelbourne

Di's knowledge of the market proved to be "spot on". All communications were timely, clear, accurate, professional, sincere and friendly. Di was helpful "above and beyond" any expectations in helping tenants find alternate accommodation prior to "vacant possession" requirement at settlement.

- Pamela
Harcourt North

I cannot recommend Di highly enough. She is extremely professional and highly knowledgeable of the market. We sold in 8 days with her. Her assistance with ideas for presentation and staging were spot on and I believe played a big role in our quick sale. Fantastic communication throughout the whole process. If I was selling again I would choose Di again.

- Peter
Castlemaine

We have been extremely happy with Di selling our property! She is very professional and approachable. She has been prompt in answering our calls and questions. She made us feel important and that it was a pleasure to sell our home. She was willing to work around our family with one child doing Year 12.

She put in a lot of time helping to set up photos. They looked great! And then she sold it within one week!! Thanks so much, Di.

- Kerry
Barkers Creek

Di was absolutely fantastic to work with. She really took on board what we were offering for sale and went above and beyond with her write up and photos of our property. Even offering an open for inspection on our vacant block so that she could really show buyers what was on offer and because we had animals to think of. Thank you Di, you did an amazing job.

- Kym & Troy
Campbells Creek

The whole experience was professional, personal and very easy. Di went above and beyond to explain local conditions, navigate the challenges of Covid, coordinate communications and handover with the vendor and really came to understand what was important to us- a wonderful experience for such an important emotional and financial decision for our family.

- Michelle & John
Yapeen

When I put my home on the market Di told me that my house will sell very fast, I was very surprised to receive a phone call from Di 45 minutes after my house was placed on the Internet with a interested couple who viewed the house the following day and put in a offer 24 hours later which I accepted. I had previously had my home with a local real estate agent for 6 months with lots of open inspections and not a single offer. What a difference it makes when you have an estate agent who puts in the effort and gets a result in record time. Thanks to Di for her enthusiasm and focus on the job at hand.

- Graham

- Tamika & Mitch

Di was great to deal with - very warm and accommodating during the challenges of Covid social distancing. She went out of her way to ensure the inspection process was as safe, easy and thorough as possible, despite the gloved and masked nature of it. I also appreciated her very responsive communication - she always got back to me quickly with information needed. I felt she was genuinely interested in helping find the perfect home for me - which she did. Thanks Di!

- Gretchen

I was attracted to using Di to sell my property because I felt comfortable with her in our initial interaction. Throughout the selling process I was more than happy with her honesty, enthusiasm and hard work. I appreciated her feedback and suggestions of things to do in helping to sell the property. I was on holidays overseas when she sold the property and helped me with the property by going beyond your normal expectations of an agent. I have no hesitation in recommending Di.

We chose to sell our home in Harcourt with Di Selwood from Bendigo Property Plus and could not be happier with the outcome. Our house sold within the first week for the price we wanted. From appraisal through to settlement, Di was honest, professional and knew her stuff. We felt she listened to us and balanced our expectations with realistic market advice to ensure we were all on the same page. Di communicated with us every step of the way, regularly updating us as the sale progressed.

Hence why our home sold within 7 days of being on the market and we obtained the asking price we were looking for. A great job by Dynamite Di and her team.

We recently listed our miners cottage in a small country town with Di, and we could not recommend her more highly! We have bought and sold many homes through the years, and have never had such a dedicated and hard working estate agent!!! We were contacted on a regular basis about inspections and interest and found her to be reliable and honest with all feedback. We have already recommended her to friends who are selling and will continue to do so as we are so impressed by both her ethics and professionalism!
Thank You Di!

- Lisa Huxley

We wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your efforts and constant updates on where we were at with the sale of our house. From the moment we contacted Bendigo Property Plus up to and including last Friday when you had arranged for the future owners of our house to have an inspection with the follow up phone call on how it all went. You always took the time to listen to what we wanted and acted on our behalf at all times. Your professionalism and treating us like we were the most important sale you had was very much appreciated; culminating in the stress-free sale of our home for the price we were asking. We would not hesitate and will, recommend you Di, and Bendigo Property Plus for a quick sale and professional and friendly approach at all times.

- Grant & Lorelle Huntly

We recently worked with Di Selwood from Bendigo Property Plus to sell our beautiful home in Castlemaine. Di did an amazing job, selling our home in seven days. Di was outstanding with her professional manner to both my husband & myself as the sellers and as equally professional in her dealings with the purchasers. Bendigo Property Plus maintain very high standards for their clients and we would certainly recommend them and Di Selwood in particular, to anyone looking to sell their home.

- Jody & Rod Archer
Castlemaine

Wow! Bendigo Property Plus how lucky you are to have such a fantastic real estate agent, Di Selwood as part of your team. My husband and I recently sold our house with Di. Being our first home, and first sale we were unsure of the process and had lots of questions. Di was always really, helpful and always took the time to explain things. Di sold our house before being listed on the market by matching prospective buyers and our house sold for our asking price on the first inspection… very impressed. The sale was a great experience, no fuss no headaches. We would highly recommend Di to family and friends and look forward to using Di in the future.

- Ebony & Kane Allen
Harcourt

Di, please let us take this opportunity to thank you for the sale of our property. We have found the experience to be enjoyable and stress free.

Hi Di It has been so lovely to have been supported by you throughout my journey of selling my property. You have been dedicated to ensuring I have received the best results but in a timely and efficient manner. You have been available to me when needed and responsive to all my millions of texts and emails. You have put my best interests above all and have guided me through the process which I imagine would have been a lot more stressful without your support.

- Sophie

To Nathan and team at Bendigo Property Plus, We would like to take this opportunity to thank your organisation and to provide you with some feedback on your wonderful staff member, Di Selwood. After having our house on the market for nearly a year and with two different agents, one a large Bendigo based company and the other based in Castlemaine, we contacted Bendigo Property Plus and met Di. From the very first conversation Di was completely professional, accessible and a pleasure to deal with. Di is a fabulous communicator- friendly, open and honest, and has the ability to work "with" her clients every step of the way. You can imagine after nearly a year of marketing our property with the other agencies and without a single offer, how pleased we were with an offer after the first week! Di has followed up on every detail and any queries we had during the process, was always helpful, and always with a smile. Di has mountains of integrity and has consistently gone above and beyond our expectations, we would have no hesitation in recommending Di and Bendigo Property Plus to anyone considering selling their home.

- Greg & Fiona

Right from the first contact I had that feeling of comfort and reassurance. Professional, flexible and always available, it was a pleasure to work with Di from Bendigo Property Plus. She went beyond her duties of just selling my house, and the service continued long after the contract was drawn. Nothing was too much trouble!
