Great job Ariah. As a interstate investor A found Ariah (and her whole team) easy to work with. Ariah always kept me informed of what was happening, and I know she did little things beyond her duties.The property is approx 15min out of town and she never hesitated to go there. Regards John
39 Helen Street
Gday Ariah, just a little feedback review for you and your team. Found the approach from your team and yourself very realistic and helpful. You guys were the only real estates willing to take the time to spend a day running around and showing me properties and also to do the legwork prior in organising inspections.wirh tenants. Also getting a realistic approach from a real estate agent willing to approach a property sale was also extremely refreshing. It's a rare honest agent that is willing to present a property as it is, showing a properties poor condition side as ...

I have found you and your staff professional yet personal. I have been informed all the way with the sale of my property. I was blown away with the monthly reports on who has seen the property, etc, etc. I loved the interaction we had back and forth and I found that you were truthful and realistic in your value of the property and ability of sale. Given all that has happened with me and would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends or family who are looking to purchase or sell with your area.

As a young family looking to buy our first house which initially felt like a daunting idea. We couldn’t be happier with the proficient, honest and up-front service we received from the team at Cooktown Real Estate who found the perfect home for us and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. Whether you are already local and looking to buy in the area, or just looking to move up to the best town in the world, I highly recommend getting in touch with Ariah and the team at CRE

68 Charlotte Street
Thank you for selling our Cooktown investment property after Cooktown Real Estate and formerly Rainforest Real Estate had very successfully managed it as a rental for much of the past 18 years since purchase. While there were factors outside your control much earlier on which impacted time-wise on the sale, you and your team were excellent when it came to potential buyers and then the actual sale. Nothing was too much trouble for CRE for both the buyer and us as the sellers. Even though there were a few issues with the sale, again outside your control, CRE went to gre...
