After having sobering experiences from other inner west real estate punters, not returning calls and playing tricks, leaving me disheartened, I was totally relieved to come across the lads at Raine & Horne Commercial. Totally impressed with the tight team co-operation between Luke, Sam and Nicholas. Quick to respond to questions or enquiries. Luke even called back at 6pm on an Friday evening after hours to reassure my concerns. In an industry that is plagued by mistrust, these guys are top rate forthright players, highly recommended, well done boys! Angel Roumeliotis (Purchaser) |

I purchased my commercial property through Nicholas in 2009 and was impressed with his professionalism at the time. I didn't hesitate to use him again for the sale of the same property. Nicholas achieved an excellent result and it was a pleasure working with him! Fred (Vendor) |

I engaged Nicholas Smith from Raine & Horne Commercial Inner West to manage the sale of my commercial property as they have been managing the leasing of the property for many years past and have always done an excellent job. Prior to commencing the sale campaign, I had many discussions with Nicholas over a long period of time to discuss opinions on value, timing and sales strategies whereby Nicholas was always available, patient, forthright and professional in his approach. Being an interstate owner, Nicholas and the R&H team made the task simple by managing the entire process of sale including laying out a clear strategy to achieve the best result on auction day. I’d like to personally thank Nicholas Smith and also Ben Ayers for their outstanding service and professionalism especially for the manner in which they handled a unique property sale that required a high level of competence. The campaign lasted 5 weeks and achieved over 400 enquiries with the property selling at auction for 10% above the reserve price. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Nicholas, Ben and the whole team at Raine & Horne Commercial Inner West as a skilled and cohesive team and truly remarkable Agency. David (Vendor) |

We purchased a commercial premise that Luke was marketing. During the course of our inspections, he was helpful, courteous and informative, played a straight bat and acted professionally as a vendor’s agent. Thanks Luke. Paul & Sara (Purchasers) |

Dear Luke, now that the sale of my property has settled, I would like to take the opportunity of thanking you for your service. On our first meeting you put me at ease and gained my confidence. I had previously listed the property with two other large commercial agents but did not realise a sale, unfortunately. I appreciated your honesty in your appraisal of the property and expectation of a realistic price. Others as it turns out had overstated the value and so I was disappointed and disillusioned when you came to me. I appreciated your honesty and understanding that it was a very emotional sale for me. I was confident that you would find a buyer, which you did, and I was very happy with the price achieved. I highly recommend you and your highly professional team. You achieved what others promised but were unable to deliver. Marilyn (Vendor) |

Having never sold a property before, I was determined to find the right company to manage the sale of my factory unit. After extensive research and meetings with numerous agents, I met with Luke Smith and immediately felt at ease. Luke was well informed on recent sales in our area and he showed a genuine interest in my needs as a vendor. The sales and marketing package was very competitive and all our open inspections were held on-time with little to no disruption. Communication from Luke and his team was paramount at all times. The weekly sale update throughout the campaign gave me a clear idea on how our property was being received by the market and highlighted the number of potential buyers. Luke and his team left no stone unturned leading up to auction night and I was confident that all potential buyers would be attending the auction. I was not disappointed and the sale broke area records. The entire team at Raine & Horne Commercial South Sydney / Inner West are first class, hands-on and very thorough. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying or selling any type of property. Jason from Semico Components Pty Ltd (Vendor) |

Luke Smith and the team at Raine & Horne Commercial sold my mixed-use building in the Inner West at a good margin over reserve, despite the slight softening in the market. I have sold a number of houses over the years and my experience with this sale was the least stressful of them all. Luke was a calming presence throughout, and his skill and experience showed in the strong and cohesive marketing campaign and the way in which I was kept well informed about the number of queries and the feedback from potential purchasers. I am so pleased that I made the decision to sell with Luke and I unreservedly recommend him as an agent who is both experienced and ethical. Juliet (Vendor) |
