Great pleasure to highly praise Penny Shields
It is great pleasure to highly praise Penny Shields on the sale of our property Unit 6/320 Joseph Street, Canadian, Ballarat 3350. On Penny's first inspection her advice was to de-clutter personal items, add some matching colors and some compliments through. Bank evaluation was ? price, Penny kindly as of what we could expect as sale price I advised $15,000 over expected $. On open day I was at work and received an offer $25,000 above bank evaluation and $5,000 more than expected. It is with great thanks to Penny our new home can be completed and she made arrangement for us to rent the house till completion of our home. Truly well-presented, prompt and professional.

Charming and reassuring
As first time homebuyers, our knowledge was limited and having already endured some awful experiences with other real estates agents and conveyancers and brokers, we were feeling pretty disillusioned. Penny was a complete flip. She was wonderfully friendly, supportive and informative. She kept me up to date and checked in from time to time which was very reassuring. My partner and I are very happy to have purchased our first home through Penny and she made sure it was a joyful experience for us in the end. It wasn’t just another job or pay check, she had genuine interest in assisting us as buyers. I will happily use her services in the future.

Selling our Family home
Penny was very professional with the selling of our family home. It was in our family for over 50years and we would have liked it to go to another family or young couple. After every open Penny would call me and give me an update, stating 'I don't think we've found our buyers just yet' until one day she stated that she thought she had found them We were very happy that a young couple have bought our home and hopefully they'll make as many happy memories as we did Penny always updated and answered any queries without hesitation and in a timely manner. Very happy with our result especially with Covid-19 causing a few issues. Thanks again Penny.

Outstanding!
When asked to write a review for Penny Shields, the first thing that came to mind was what the great American poet and civil rights activist, Maya Angelou, once stated: " I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." During a most exciting but bittersweet journey, Penny was able to give us the most important gift: Peace of Mind. Dr. Angelou would be proud. Penny Shields is the real deal. It is impossible to list all her attributes here. Yes, her tenacity and sharp mind are two fine qualities which serve her well in being the talented Agent she is. But, let it be known that, whatever task Penny sets out to do, she brings along a very special combination of empathy, integrity and sincerity. These attributes, accompanied by her quick wit and humble attitude, are what have ultimately won our hearts....never mind that she did an outstanding job of selling our beloved family home!! Pick Penny, and you'll never lose!

Property sale Sebastopol - Ballarat
Penny was referred to me to sell our lovely property in Sebastopol. During the whole process, from start to finish, Penny listened and guided us with her market insight and knowledge. Her market knowledge was completely up to date with recent sales and then analyzing and contrasting those sales to our property. The detail and analyzing on the go was very impressive. She communicated regularly, stepping us through the process and keeping us up to date with the sale process plus potential external impacts such as COVID lockdowns. Penny was transparent to both vendor and buyer, both parties knowing where they stood. I believe this provided a good outcome for both. In summing up my experience, you couldn't go wrong engaging Penny from PRD Ballarat with her utmost professionalism, friendly nature, market knowledge, investment in the property/vendor/seller and finally her communication. Penny made this an easy and enjoyable process. Thank you Penny. Regards Stuart
