Steve Thomas and Edge Real Estate provide a refreshing change to Canberra Real Estate, it is exciting to see such an enthusiastic businessman, with an innovative approach selling houses. We have bought and sold many properties over the years and can honestly say we have never received the level of service Edge Real Estate gave us, they were simply amazing. Steve and his team made selling our home at Doyle Terrace Chapman the easiest experience it could possibly have been, dare we say it was almost fun!
Steve was always cheerful, friendly, professional and most importantly honest with us. He did what could only be described as a miraculous job in selling our house. Steve managed to get from date of listing to exchange of contracts in just 8 days, and also achieved a fantastic price for the property. Steve did far more than we expected from a real estate agent, and having chosen to list with Edge over some other bigger well known agencies in Canberra we can honestly say we never looked back, we are just so pleased with our decision. Steve always kept us informed of potential buyer interest and feedback. We were particularly impressed with his willingness to help us right throughout the process, from listing and beyond.
Steve’s tireless work ethic and his optimism were very impressive. His contagious enthusiasm managed to keep us all laughing and happy even when we had to clean the whole house to open for the 5th time in 6 days! And it could not have been more worth it. Steve is an honest, genuine person and you could not ask for a better representative to sell your property.
We would like to say that all staff were so professional, pleasant and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We thank Dale for standing by our pool with a smile on his face, in extreme temperatures wearing a suit and looking very professional, he must have been cooking! We would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and Edge Real Estate to act as your agent if you are thinking of selling. Steve’s straightforward approach, industry knowledge and willingness to do whatever it takes to assist in selling your property, make the process as pleasant and painless as possible. Thank you to Steve and his team for all your hard work and best wishes for the future of Edge Real Estate, we think it is definitely the best Real Estate Agency in Canberra!

We would like to thank you for your support through the whole ' home buying' process, you were fantastic; we will be sure to recommend you to friends/family who are looking to buy/sell a property. Will let you know when our house warming is; you will have to come around for a drink or two.

We've taken forever to write to you because we've been enjoying our home so much. We wanted to thank you for your professionalism and all your assistance in our home buying process. Buying a house is a huge decision, and you assisted us in the process, without being pushy.
We would recommend you to anyone seeking to buy a house or sell their home. When making real estate transactions, you sometimes get the impression that some realtors are only working for the sellers, and others are only working for the buyers. There's a fine balance to work for both parties, and you seem to do that naturally.
Thanks again!

Steven Thomas is one of those rare people who really impresses. I have dealt with many agents over the years and Stephen Thomas stands out as a man of integrity and passion for his work. I first met Steven when he was exhibiting the house my partner and I recently purchased.
We were very impressed with his service to us as buyers - no request was too much trouble and he always kept us informed. For these reasons I invited him to conduct an appraisal of my home. Steven's enthusiasm, confidence and knowledge of the market convinced me that he was the right choice to list with. Other agents we spoke to were down-beat and lacked that creative spark which we felt the property needed.
Steven provided exceptional service throughout the process including prompt feedback post exhibitions. The house sold within a matter of weeks and with minimal press coverage at a price higher than other agents appraised it for! I am happy to recommend Steven Thomas as an agent who has high professional standards, a sound knowledge of the market and a creative spark with an unmatched level of enthusiasm.

Edge's marketing was so good we bought our new home over the internet from the USA unseen.

When I spoke with Steve I told him we needed to sell fast. My house was too big and no longer suited the lives of me and my two sons living with me. Although Edge Real Estate is a new name, I soon felt my property was in good hands.
A new business bringing new and fresh ideas into the sales process. Steve was spot on in his advice about the most effective and achievable improvements to the house to achieve a fast sale at a good price. The reasonable commission and effective marketing strategies made for a quick and economical sale of the house.
The service is personal and highly professional. Edge Real estate is a name I can trust. Steve saved me money and made the process of selling very low-stress. I would recommend Edge Real estate to anyone looking for an effective and efficient real estate agent.

We engaged Steven Thomas, prior to him founding Edge Real Estate, to sell our home in June 2008. We had received appraisals from two other real estate agencies within the 12 months leading up to our final decision to put our house on the market. All three appraisals came in within a $10,000 range so we were happy we knew where our house sat in the market. Most of the terms, conditions and fees were comparable so our decision ultimately came down to who we felt most comfortable with. In that regard our decision was easy as Steve was the most personable of the agents we met, showed a real interest in our situation and demonstrated that he operated with integrity.
We also put ourselves on the other end of the situation and decided that we would have the greatest confidence in Steve’s honesty if we were looking to purchase the house.
We, like everybody else, were anxious to secure the best possible price for our house while at the same time we were looking for a quick sale. Steven responded to our requirements and provided advice on the manner in which we should proceed. In the end we sold our house during the first exhibition (3 days after it was listed on allhomes).
While we weren’t there during the exhibition we are confident that our amazing outcome resulted from Steve’s interpersonal skills and honest engagement with the interested buyers.
Obviously we are delighted with the outcome and the service we received from Steve. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to put their house on the market.
