The time came for a decision to be made to downsize our home after 30 years living on Black Mountain, Cooroy’s Hinterland. We approached Kess Prior of hinternoosa who soon was committed in helping, not only in selling our property but going to great lengths with her honesty and professional knowledge in making our property “Dressed to Impress”. Yes it did impress and it wasn’t long before it was sold and Kess was with us all the way with her caring and friendship. The team at hinternoosa are all very confident and professional, making our future plans so much easier for our family. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kess to our family and friends. Thank you Kess and Team.  -Chris, Sue and Clinton

Graham is a FANTASTIC Agent | Over the past year I have been impressed by Graham's honesty and professional approach to not only business but on a personal and friendly manner. I first got to know Graham through a beautiful home he had listed on the internet that I wanted to purchase, sadly it was sold due to Grahams efforts for the owners. As we have never met in person, I feel a warmth. Graham Smith is a man of his word, as am I. It’s a pity all agents I have dealt with over many years could not be 50% of this fine person.  
Rod

Graham was a delight to deal with from the moment I met him. Nothing was too much trouble and he was a great interface between the vendor and myself. He kept me well informed along the way and has great communication skills and was always a pleasure to deal with. He always got back to me in a very responsive manner to any of the queries that i had regarding the property that I was purchasing. I have no hesitation in recommending Graham to any prospective buyer or seller.
Paul

Graham was an absolute pleasure to deal with, graham always returned my calls straight way, always followed up on all my queries and made buying our house very easy. We would highly recommend graham and will continue to use him! Mathew and Ashlee 
Mathew & Ashlee

Graham Smith was a very professional agent, fully highlighting the good points of the property and disclosed the not so good points. His professionalism was important to us as we were purchasing our first 50 Acre property to use as a horse stud. Graham negotiated fairly and gave us a starting point that was reasonable to negotiate with the owners. We are very happy with our purchase and would definitely use Graham again and recommend him.

After having the pleasure of dealing with Kess Prior at Hinternoosa, my husband and I would like to thank her for all the help given to us. She was very friendly and professional, we would recommend Hinternoosa. A big THANKYOU Peter & Sandra
Peter & Sandra

I found Kess and her team very professional in every way with regard to resent property sale. Kess would communicate with me, without me prompting her and her market knowledge and understanding of the area was amazing and lead to a good negotiating skills to offer me a good deal for my property, and with all this written about Kess and her team, I would highly recommend my family and friends to contact Kess to buy or sale a property. Thanks Kess you were incredible From Kelly
Kelly

Thank you Graham for your comprehensive knowledge of the market, for your marketing strategy and for the outstanding sales result. Our property of 35 acres sold a week after first being advertised and for a very good price. The sale was not without it's complications, but Graham's professionalism and warm and communicative approach to both buyer and seller resulted in a great win/win. Ray & Judy
Ray & Judy

Despite owning a sensational large acreage property, it was a difficult sell. An oversized hobby farm could be one description. The combination of a modern contemporary architecturally designed home together with medium to large acreage and equestrian facilities meant that there were very few buyers for exactly what was on offer. We had tried another very good agent for twelve months beforehand but we felt something was missing. Such a large house and property has many moving parts and as such many positives but some negatives. Graham was able to placate buyer concern on these with much professionalism. From day one we felt confident that Graham would sell our property. Graham encouraged us to get our own valuation and at no stage did he apply any pressure to lower our target price. Graham has an uncanny ability to assess any buyer type, and has a likeable, affable demeanour that fits with a wide spectrum of buyers. He has an "antenna" for the truth or otherwise when it comes to buyer comments. He acts quickly when necessary and left no stone unturned when a buyer showed a mere flicker of interest. Feedback and communication was the best we have experienced in the several property sales we have endured. Graham Smith at Hinternoosa is all class. Experienced and confident, yet he certainly is not one of those "annoying" pushy agents. Grace under pressure is another description of his modus operandi. We had more than a couple of difficult situations arise from external events and Graham took them in his stride, humoured us and calmed our farm. Graham sold our property in just a few months despite a minimal marketing budget. We would not hesitate in recommending Graham for selling or buying any type of property. Michael & Sarah
Michael & Sarah

We can highly recommend Graham Smith. We had been looking for an investment property for a while, and Graham found exactly what we were looking for. Great communication throughout the whole process; everything went like clockwork from our first inspection right through to settlement. Would definitely use him again.
Roger

Graham Smith was an outstanding Agent, we found Graham to be totally professional, supportive and a thoroughly good human being, blessed with integrity, patience and mindful of both the sellers and buyer's wishes which resulted in a successful outcome for both parties.

We have been building, buying and renovating real estate for 50 years and during this time we have been associated with many real estate agents. The experience we have had over these years has in the main been harrowing with many of our requests going unanswered and we providing most of the go-forward marketing proposals and ideas. This sale has been different, Graham Smith with his wealth of real estate experience and his professional acumen has made this campaign exciting and far from the dreaded " selling blues" often experienced. He provided: . Marketing with a time and budget plan, which was strictly adhered to. . Followed up every lead and reported back to us almost daily advising the progress of any earlier leads. . Provided a written report weekly formalising discussions with clients together with a reminder of upcoming advertising or Open Home Inspections. . He made himself available for private inspections at any time or day of the week as required. . Did not pressure us to reduce the asking price when enquiries slowed down. We did reduce the asking price once at our request. . With the help of the back-up team at Hinternoosa he provided us with professional services for photography, videos etc necessary to lift the standard of the advertising and maximise desire. Graham has an affable personality and product knowledge who easily gained the respect of prospective buyers. His positive approach at our meetings made us confident that should a good prospect appear he would not let them off the hook until the flame flickered to an end. 
Allan & Eve

Graham was an absolute delight to deal with - we couldn't fault him! We sold our Eumundi property through him and bought our new property in Tinbeerwah through Graham. Thank you and kind regards Jennifer & Michael 
Jennifer & Michael

Graham Smith of Hinternoosa was outstanding in his efforts to sell our apartment in Noosa Parade. We made it difficult for Graham by requesting a minimal marketing budget, but with much persistence he located potential buyers and sold the property in the price range we were seeking. His feedback on the selling process was excellent and Graham is a delightful person to work with and certainly a person who can be highly trusted to do his best for you. We thoroughly recommend Graham and Hinternoosa to those buying or selling property.
Rob and Enid

We required an agent that was patient and sincere in their effort to collaborate with us, in the search for the perfect Noosa Hinterland home for our family. From our first introduction over two years ago, Graham proved to be the agent we could trust as we articulated our needs, which were met with understanding and a clear commitment to playing the long game with us. Graham's wholehearted approach is met with clear industry experience and open consultancy. Our collaborative relationship allowed us to feel comfortable asking questions, which was always complemented with tenacious answers and transparency. Beyond his outstanding service standards and good humour, Graham was calculated, purposeful and razor sharp in our contract negotiations. For an industry specialist with a passion for listening, building relationships, and delivering on promises, we are very pleased to recommend Graham Smith without reservation.
Talia

We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for your assistance in purchasing our new home in the Noosa hinterland. You made the whole process smooth and relatively painless with your high level of communication with us at all times. You listened carefully to our needs with this new property, addressed our concerns diligently and made the purchase go smoothly. We wish to thank you for your efforts Graham in bringing this beautiful country home a reality for us. We appreciated and enjoyed doing business with you and would not hesitate in recommending you. 
Warren & Gavin

Graham was a professional and honest Agent. Having dealt with many agents in our research and then purchase of property in Qld we found Graham to be the most old school professional. Buying from another state can be a challenge which some agents we found just couldn't be bothered with. However Graham provided prompt service, he always got back to us and followed up all our questions and hence made the sale. Graham provided good after sale service for us too. We would highly recommend him and would certainly use him again. Thank you Graham.
Natalie

We were very satisfied with the way in which Hinternoosa handled the sale of our property in Belli Park. Graham Smith was professional, informative and kept us fully informed during the process of the sale.
Mike

“pulse of the area” | In my experience in searching for property in the Hinterland area, I feel that Hinternoosa seems to have the pulse of the area and is well versed on what is available in the area. My experience with the agency and particularly Kess Prior has been productive and I have found Kess to be both diligent and positive in dealing with my requirements. 
Bob

“very grateful” | From our first phone call Kess impressed us with her knowledge and her professionalism. This continued throughout the sale and when we had a “hiccup” we were very grateful for Kess’s help. Our “hiccup” was no fault of Hinternoosa and Kess’s help was much appreciated. Anyone who uses another agent aren’t getting the best they can get. Thanking you.
Chris & Dave

“service beyond expectations” | I found the service received from Kess Prior (Hinternoosa), and later all of her support team, to be beyond my expectations! I had MANY questions pre sale, and Kess professional answered all of them with integrity that continued throughout the process. As a result of Kess' proactive approach, our home was sold the day it went on the market. Then throughout the Settlement process, Kess and her team at Hinternoosa supported me whenever I had any queries. Then after Settlement we received a wonderful couple of personalised cards and a generous 'gift of celebration'. It was a smooth process, where I felt we were encouraged to ask questions if we had any (throughout!), and where we sensed the professional approach at Hinternoosa, had us in good hands. We also got the exact price we had asked for in selling our home through Hinternoosa. I would absolutely encourage you to engage Kess Prior/Hinternoosa if you are Selling or Purchasing property. Another huge THANK YOU to the team at Hinternoosa - especially Kess Prior
Dee

“nine out of ten” | Kess gave me excellent service, she was reliable, honest and dedicated to her job. Kess provided continual up dates and advice during the purchase of my property at Eumundi. Nine out of ten. Many thanks.
Trevor

“professional approach and persistence” | We were happy with the time and effort that Kess put into the sale of our investment property in Doonan. Even though the property was on the market for about 7 months, she continued to work on our behalf and eventually obtained a sale in a difficult market, and with some obstacles and challenges along the way. Thank you for your professional approach and persistence. We would definitely use Hinternoosa again in the future. 
Jo & John

“recommend hinternoosa” | We decided to list our Eumundi property through hinternoosa after evaluating all other options. Once we met Kess Prior we were re-assured we had made the correct decision. She guided us through all the necessary processes and organised everything from advertising, photography, letterbox drops and open house, etc., which led to a successful sale. We would certainly recommend hinternoosa to any local sellers. 
Lynn & Fred

“pleasantly surprised” | Kess, Gustav and I would like to express our extreme gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable effort you have made to secure a buyers for our 8 acre property and house located at Carters Ridge. We were pleasantly surprised you were able to present us with a contract after only a few weeks of having the property listed with you. We were both very pleased with the extra effort made under difficult circumstances to follow through with the many changes made to the contract and to negotiate with both parties involved to see the end result be the unconditional sale of our property. 
Gustav and Germaine

“service and personal attention" | The service and personal attention we received from Kess @ Hinternoosa Real Estate was outstanding. Kess has a great knowledge of the local areas and I feel that this helped us in our search for our new home. I would highly recommend Kess and thank her for helping us in our life changing move. 
Kellie & Troy

“professionalism was second to none” | Thanks to Kess for her dedication, efficiency and understanding during the selling process of our home. Her professionalism was second to none, but at the same time she knew how to have a laugh, which helps take the stress out of, what can be, an extremely testing period. Her extensive knowledge of hinterland properties and prices, as well as an exceptional marketing campaign, all helped in the swift sale of our home. Kind regards 
Tom & Sara

“hinternoosa was by far the one that stood out” | When we decided to sell, I phoned for agents. Hinternoosa was by far the one that stood out from the others. Hinternoosa showed professionalism, integrity and a desire to work to the utmost, to achieve an excellent result. Kess is to be congratulated. Every step of the way, she kept us informed and helped in a very difficult situation, when my husband passed away.
Georgina

"Above and beyond" | I have no hesitation in recommending Kess. She has gone above and beyond in helping us buy our property. We found Kess has a can do attitude and she is very straight forward. Every request made has been met. Fantastic. 
Pip & Jay

“House of Our Dreams” | Thank you Kess for helping us to find the house of our dreams at the right price. Your local knowledge, honesty and patience made all the difference. Thank you also to Jim, who spent a lot of time driving us around and offering advice earlier on our house hunting journey.
Tonia & Dean

“true professional" | I would like to thank Kess for all her help in finding us a home in Eumundi. She went out of her way to help us. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kess for any future buying and selling. Kess is a true professional. 
Ron & Bev

“very positive experience” | We have had a very positive experience with Hinternoosa, and particularly with Kess Prior. Kess has consistently been professional and courteous and has provided pro-active services with regular communication. Thank you Kess. 
Kerry and Tony

“found the right house” | We have found the right house for our family of four, thanks to Kess Prior. Kess listened to what we wanted from a house/family home and she went over and above to find the right one for us! The process of buying went very smoothly and relatively stress free thanks to her! When it comes to the sale of home (in due course) she's the first person we'll call. 
Rachael, Ian, Oliver and Amelia

“achieving a great result” | Hi Kess, I would just like to say thank you very much for all your efforts, and for achieving a great result, particularly in a difficult market. Your assistance has been invaluable, and you took care of everything, I can certainly recommend your services if needed. So THANK YOU again, and all the very best. 
Kees

“hinternoosa have something special” | Stuart and I would like to express our gratitude and thanks for the speedy sale of our home. The professionalism, teamed with friendliness was of the utmost standard and we would recommend Hinternoosa without hesitation. We would especially like to thank our agent, Kess Prior. Kess made the whole process proceed effortlessly for Stuart and I, extending her time and service beyond what was required and always keeping us informed, plus keeping me calm. Stuart and I feel the team at Hinternoosa have something special, we believe that is, care.
Michelle and Stuart

“warm and caring” | Hi me and my wife were very happy with Kess with the way she helped us very much and was warm and caring to interstate people which is what you need to sell properties because let's face it a lot of people are wanting to move from down south and you need someone like Hinternoosa to look after you. 
Wayne & Wiwie

“blast of fresh air!” | Buying a new home can be a fraught business especially if, like us, you are new to Queensland and unfamiliar with the local market. We arrived on the Sunshine Coast with a map, a wish-list, a budget and an open mind regarding real estate agencies and areas to search. Within three months we met no fewer than 17 different agents (aghhhhh!) and chewed up tread from Peregian to Pomona and Noosaville to the North Shore before we had the good fortune to meet Hinternoosa's dynamic young partner/principal/agent, Kess Prior. What a blast of fresh air. Honest, hard-working and always good-humoured, Kess listened. She suggested. She even cajoled when she thought we were passing up on a great opportunity.  While other agents neglected to call or capitalise on the fact that as recent Sydney sellers we were fully cashed-up, Kess was proactive from day one. She hit the phone and the ground running chasing down properties that might provide the best fit for us and our pockets. Hey pr esto! Mission accomplished.  So, if you want an agent who listens to what you want and never gives up until she finds it, Kess Prior of Hinternoosa is your go-to gal/agent extraordinaire.
Jo & Max

"Most certainly a level above all other agents we had dealings with" | My husband and I purchased a property in Noosa and dealt through Graham. We found Graham to be very professional, very prompt with all correspondence and very helpful. Graham was most certainly a level above all other agents we had dealings with in Noosa. He was honest, got straight to the point and continued with after sales service. We would highly recommend Graham and we thank him very much for making our purchase so seamless.
Natalie & Brett

“easy and enjoyable experience” | I would like to say that the purchase experience of the property was that Kess Prior was very easy to deal with. She was relaxed yet professional allowing us time to consider and was helpful with solving some concerns we had with the property. Overall an easy and enjoyable experience.
Rod

“recommend hinternoosa to anyone” | We would like to thank Kess and her team for helping us purchase our block of land at Eumundi. Everything ran very smoothly and they also helped us out with a conveyancer as we are not from the area. We would recommend Hinternoosa to anyone buying or selling.
Michael and Lisa

"Thoroughly Recommend" | Kess Prior was amazing! She made the whole process easy and sold the property in about the time we wanted. We thoroughly recommend her and the team at Hinternoosa. 
Geoff & Jenny

"Graham sold our home within 6 weeks" | We have just has the pleasure of dealing with Hinternoosa, in particular Graham Smith. Graham sold our home within 6 weeks & we actually bought our new home through Graham. We cannot sing Hinternoosa’s / Graham’s praises enough! We are thrilled with our new purchase & have no hesitation in recommending Hinternoosa & their brilliant, accommodating staff members, in particular Graham Smith. 
Jennifer & Michael

"Open And Frank.. Professional Approach" | We met Kess at an open house. Her open and frank approach decided us on using Hinternoosa to sell our property. The professional approach of Kess and her organisation constantly confirmed to us the correctness of the decision. Within 4 weeks our house was sold at a figure well above the one quoted by other agencies. Within a day we were in a position to purchase another property suited to our specification. Both of these transactions were a tribute to Kess and her organisation and their attention to our requirements. Each of us would both be happy to confirm these thoughts to anyone who asked us for an opinion.
Merv & Janey

"Sale achieved in depressed acreage market" | Graham held our hands through the buyer attraction, negotiation, and conclusion phases in a friendly and professional manner. He is an excellent communicator. We strongly recommend him.
Otto & Jocelyn

"efficient and professional" | Kess Prior handled the sale of our property in a very efficient and professional manner. Always very direct and honest in her comments and analysis following open house & inspections etc. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kess & Hinternoosa to anyone considering selling or buying real estate in this area.
Peter

"made the process of buying a pleasure" | Coming from Sydney, we have been pleasantly surprised by the real estate agents we have dealt with here in Queensland and Graham has stood out even among those. My father-in-law passed away while we were house hunting, at such a difficult time Graham was sympathetic and kind. He truly has made the process of buying a pleasure. We are more than happy to recommend his services to anyone.
Gillian & Tony

"very good to deal with" | We have dealt with Graham Smith on a number of occasions & have found him to be very good to deal with. His attitude, honesty & professionalism is refreshing. Graham works very hard for his clients to get the best results.
Rhonda & Rolly

"Professional and Extremely Competent" | We found Kess to be very professional and extremely competent in selling our property. She was quick in finding suitable purchases and the whole process went very smoothly. Thanks Kess.
Paul

"A very special thank you" | Sufficient time has passed since the sale of our home of 12 years at 26 Capricorn Court, Eumundi to enable us to now reflect with objectivity. “Downsizing” is sobering as you confront the reality of your mortality and acknowledge that you are no longer as capable as you once were. Against this background, preparing your precious home for sale while purchasing another to fulfil the next stage of your life as well as determining how to remove your possessions to that next home are major confrontations experienced simultaneously – there is no respite. Added to all of this reality is the anxiety of will your home sell and how close to what you expect or need your buyer will pay. It is a time almost unparalled in one’s life for the high level of emotion. So Mary and I felt blessed to have met and then engaged Graham Smith at Hinternoosa for our sale. We had faith in Hinternoosa and even greater faith in Graham – both were well-founded. Graham is sophisticated, honest and frank but who has a demeanour which encourages belief in him. He read our needs expertly and one Saturday afternoon during our campaign, asked, with his customary politeness, if he could call in. It was a visit to go through where we were, what to expect – it was a visit to inform us, to reassure us. It was so timely and so valuable, just what and when we needed. The rest is history. Our auction felt like a Capricorn Court street party and, the following Monday, our buyers inspected and bought. To you both and your great team, a very special thank you for the sale of our home and for Graham for his professionalism and his quality – we have made a new friend.
Mary & Sam

"Guided us on a very stress free purchase!" | Our Chance meeting with Kess sealed our fate. She understood exactly what we were after and helped us find our dream home! Thank you so much Kess for helping us understand the house buying process and guiding us on a very stress free purchase!
Mark & Jo

"Personable, Knowledgeable, Calm, Professional and Well Presented" | As always Kess has been simply brilliant. All questions and requests are answered correctly and in a timely manner. The office support staff are efficient and courteous. Kess is personable, knowledgeable, calm, professional and well presented. Whenever possible I would choose to have Kess represent us in any property transaction.
Jenny & David

"wealth of real estate experience and his professional acumen" | We have been building, buying and renovating real estate for 50 years and during this time we have been associated with many real estate agents. The experience we have had over these years has in the main been harrowing with many of our requests going unanswered and we providing most of the go-forward marketing proposals and ideas.

Allan and Eve

“always honest” | Thanks to Kess Prior for her attention to us during the sale of our Pomona property. She didn’t make any false promises and was always honest with us about what we needed to do in order to get the best price we could. The sale was pretty easy when it happened. A pleasure to do business with such a professional.
Alan & Lee

"honest, approachable, helpful" | As we were new to the coast, we had no previous experience with an R.E. agent and meeting Kess for the first time was like meeting an old friend. She was honest, approachable, helpful and above all else, appeared interested in us – and our families’ needs and situation. I will always be grateful for finding our new home in North Arm and for finding Kess in the Process! 
Emma & Guy

 “assisted with professionalism and understanding of the market” | I have dealt with many real estate agents over the years and have had experiences with all. My wife passed away several months ago leaving me in the position of making all the decisions and having the responsibility of preparing and selling our home. Hinternoosa personnel assisted me with their professionalism and understanding of the market, providing great assistance through this difficult period of selling. Thankyou hinternoosa, especially Kess and David.
Terry

“We finally bought the perfect home thanks to Kess ” | As a very stressed out house owner (living in Brisbane but working in Eumundi) it was surly a challenge for Kess Prior to keep me calm. She went with me the long and complicated way of a simultaneously settlement. She was always available and was always there for me and my family. We finally bought the perfect home and this is with big thanks for Kess and the entire team. The agency can surly be recommended to anyone. Thank you 
Martina

“Professional, communicated well and common sense suggestions” | We decided to use Kess Prior and her team at Hinternoosa after interviewing three other agents. Kess was professional, communicated well and gave common sense suggestions regarding how to present our mother's home for sale. She diplomatically suggested using a stylist after seeing what furniture we had available to present the home in the best light, this worked brilliantly and we had an offer that we accepted even before the first open day. I would not hesitate to recommend her to future sellers.
Jacky & Sally

“completely satisfied” | The Hinternoosa marketing approach I have found to be beyond reproach. Kess Prior knows her business and relates fully to her clients requirements. How can you say more? When you are completely satisfied.
Peter

“extremely attentive, consultative and helpful" | we were very happy with the service provided by Hinternoosa when recently buying our new home in Eumundi. Kess Prior was extremely attentive, consultative and helpful and went over and above the levels of service provided by other agents we dealt with in the area
Phil & Rebecca

“found the property of my dreams” | When I moved to the sunshine coast in 2007 it was hinternoosa that found the property of my dreams. So of course when the next stage came, I turned to hinternoosa again to pass on that dream. I have to thank Kess for her availability and thoughtfulness during the process of discussion, preparation and negotiation, always looking to do the best for me! I look forward to another partnership with hinternoosa to follow the next dream!
