Sally Strang + Ash Costello - Local Real Estate Agent Review Detail

Sally and Ash have fantastic expertise, are genuine, trustworthy and really guided me through the process. Selling your home can be really stressful but I felt fully supported and I am thrilled with the result they achieved for me. I would absolutely recommend Sally and her team to anyone looking for an agent.

Sally and Ash are very professional.
They made our buying process so easy and provided all the necessary information on time. Highly recommend! 
Thank you very much Sally and Ash.

I'm really impressed with my whole experience with Homebyholly and the Sally+Ash team. Sally 'got' the property, knew it's market very well, and secured a buyer and great price really quickly (much quicker & at a better price than I expected too). The marketing was beautiful, and the girls were always super prompt in responding and keeping me up to date with progress.

Sally was simply outstanding throughout the whole unfamiliar sales process. Great proactive and responsive communication, across key details, well-informed advice and recommendations and understood our needs. She helped us achieve a price well above our expectations. Our tenants also spoke well of her. Can't recommend Sally and HBH highly enough!

The Home by Holly process was amazing, their processes are clear and easy to understand and you are kept up to date. 
Sally looked after both buyer and seller. She has great integrity, is highly professional and secured a great price for our home.

Sally Strang, Ash Costello and the entire ‘home by holly’ team are great people to have on your side. As a customer, I always felt warmly and thoroughly guided through the complexities of the process. 

Well ahead of my expectations, meticulously prepared timelines, reliable recommendations and the voice of experience shone through at every turn.

They’re a great team to have in your corner when the stakes are this high.

Great service, Sally and Ash were professional and did an amazing job in selling our house.

Sally was an amazing agent for the sale of our property. From the start she understood the unique value proposition of our home and made us feel comfortable that she would find the right buyer in this challenging market. The marketing of the home was brilliant and Sally's communication throughout the campaign was always prompt and clear. Could not recommend her highly enough! Thanks Sally.

Sally is a consumate professional, who understands the Canberra market well, and is skilled at navigating the space between buyers and sellers. Sally and her team are a pleasure to work with.

Sally was prompt, efficient, and knowledgeable. She dealt with us and potential buyers in a very professional manner and kept us appraised of what was happening re. the sale of our home.

Sally and her team did a great job selling our apartment. We sold our place from interstate and everything was absolutely seamless and as low stress as possible. 

We were particularly happy with Sally’s hustle and ability to work with potential buyers to get the price from one we were happy with to one we were stoked with. 

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sally and home.byholly to anyone looking to sell.

Sally was a professional from start to finish. She was generous with her time, meticulous with ensuring she had all our details before providing us with her recommendations. We trusted her her expertise and sound advice, and it certainly proved to be valuable - we sold our property in just a few weeks. Sally guided us through the process, and given it was our first sale, no question was a silly question. I would recommend Sally over and over again.

It was a pleasure working with Sally on the sale of my property. She is knowledgeable and professional and took the time to clearly explain each step of the property marketing and sale process. She kept me informed at every stage, and was always there to answer any questions I had. Sally and her team also assisted me in finding a conveyancer and complete tasks I needed to get done prior to the property being listed on the market. I was very happy with the result from the sale of my property. I would highly recommend Sally and her team at Home by Holly.

Sally and the whole home.byholly team are passionate about people and their homes. Supremely professional, excellent communicators and caring - they did an impeccable job selling my home and I cannot recommend them highly enough. What I love most about Sally and Holly and the team is their care and positivity, their attention to detail and the calm way they go about things. It is so re-assuring to know you are in such capable and trustworthy hands during the emotional experience of selling a home you love.

Sally was a great support to us throughout the sale process.  She kept us informed every step of the way.  Her knowledge of the market and trends was an exceptional help to us when making a final sale decision.

Sally’s has a warm and friendly manner that instills confidence in what cam be a stressful time.  Highly recommend her.

100% recommend Sally! Was a straightforward and stress-free experience

Sally has been an excellent communicator. She is reliable and worked incredibly hard to get me the result I wanted.

Sally is professional and helpful.
She told us all we needed to know, gave us a schedule and the contacts we needed to prepare the property.
Her estimate of the price which we could achieve was accurate.
A great experience - thank you Sally!

Sally and her team were fantastic to deal with and made selling my property a breeze, and I felt well looked after as a first time seller. The personal touches, attention to detail, and beautiful photography were part of what drew me to using Home by Holly in the first place and I was not disappointed. Everything turned out exactly as I had hoped, and I would highly recommend Sally and the Home by Holly team to anyone looking to sell their home.

I cannot speak highly enough of Sally and the whole Home By Holly team. 

I came across Sally when she was looking after the sale of another apartment in my building. The way that listing and apartment was presented was impressive and her impeccable attention to detail was obvious. I knew I wanted my place to be presented with the same level of class and style!

While I have no doubt she's across the Canberra property market as a whole, her knowledge of the city apartment market was another reason I went with Sally.

She was responsive and communicated with me every step of the way. I had absolute confidence throughout the sale campaign that she was committed to getting the best outcome possible for me.

The Home By Holly team as a whole are lovely and their processes are efficient and hassle free. I couldn't be happier, they all made the sale process super easy. Thank you Sally and everyone at HBH! A wonderfully run local business who should be proud of the service they provide to the community.

Fantastic Agent, look no further. Straightforward, easily contactable, makes things as easy as possible. Great marketing tactics and gets results. Along with Ash and Jenna, they’re one great team!

Sally was very professional and easy to liaise with. Sally provided regular updates and kept me informed throughout the selling process. It was a pleasure working with the HBH team.

Working with Sally and her team was a dream run. Everything associated with the sale was professional and yet personal, with a great result.

Sally was lovely to deal with and got that I was selling a home, not a house.  Thank you Sally!

Sally was amazing to work with! 
She made the selling process clear, presented us with an achievable timeline and got us a fantastic result.
We chose to sell during lockdown and Sally navigated safe open house one on one visits and a smooth online auction. 
We have no hesitation in recommending Sally to anyone thinking of selling.
Thank you Sally  🏡

Sally was exceptionally responsive and completed our sale in no time. She provided incredible service, even in the midst of challenging covid restrictions to ensure our marketing campaign and buyer inspections went off without a hitch. She recognised the right part of the market that would work best for us to aim, and helped achieve a result that far exceeded our expectations. She worked tirelessly to keep us updated and maintained our complete confidence along every step of the way. So glad we had Sally!

Sally was fantastic to work with. We had to sell during the ACT Covid lockdown whilst also living interstate. Sally was dynamic and went above and beyond to facilitate our sale. Sally had a clear campaign strategy and was proactive in managing the campaign, but at the same time, was collaborative, easy to work with and never pushy. Would highly recommend.

Friendly and patient. Competent. Always available for clarifying  any issues. A pleasure to deal with (As was Ash) Transparent in all aspects of business.

Super impressed with Sally's commitment to selling our home in spite of a sudden COVID lockdown. This meant changing our sale mechanism from a physical auction to an abridged offline one. Sally worked the phones and got us a good result...would recommend Homes by Holly and Sally and Ash to anyone.

Sally and Ash got us a result better than anything we could have ever expected. They were very organised and knew what they were doing, presenting us with a clear plan from the very beginning. They also set out their marketing principles and strategy, and were clearly on top of the game from the beginning.

Sally and Ash also talked us through the different pros and cons of private treaty vs auction and presented their very convincing (and ultimately justified!) reasoning for which one we should choose.

I particularly liked their great communication throughout, the timeline that they presented to us, the strategy for managing offers and the fact that they were willing to take charge/organise all the things that needed organising.

Sally was great. She was professional and lovely to deal with, kept us informed of progress along the way (and didn't mind that I went MIA with work commitments), and had innovative ideas to help make the apartment stand out. She was able to get us price that more than exceeded our expectations. I have no hesitation recommending Sally to anyone looking to make the experience of selling property smooth and easy.

Sally isn't just professional, she's a pleasure to work with. She's on time, follows things up, anticipates issues and provides great advice. 

Given how stressful and anxiety-inducing selling can get, Sally is the person you to work with.

So glad I engaged Sally and Ash from Home.byHolly to sell my home. I appreciated their professionalism, enthusiasm and skill throughout the process. Great communication and follow-up. I was particularly impressed with how they managed the auction process - everything down to how they cared for me as the vendor and the buyers on the day. So very grateful. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.

views across Haig park 

There is something special about split-level design, the way the build is effortlessly incorporated into the angle of the land, maximising space and light and creating interesting architectural lines. No.10, expands horizontally across three levels, capturing the heart with its combo of tone and texture, glorious, raked ceilings, airy voids. 

This special three-bedder has been beautifully renovated, and artfully combines a cool mid-century modern vibe with contemporary elegance. Ideally placed just moments from a heady mix of bohemian cafes, buzzing metropolitan centres and bushland reserves, the home is a classic low maintenance haven and chic urban pad dream. 

Brick walls extend blade like, creating a seamless, textured privacy, the form rising from expansive lawns, all classic light brick, terracotta rooftiles and large timber glazing's. A long veranda creates a significant, sheltered entry point and is quite the spot for entertaining or simply relaxing among the trees.

There is a wonderful transparency to the generous living area, as walls of glass frame landscape and beckon to the private terrace. A gas fireplace provides a warming focal point and there is plenty of room for a composition of cosy couches, the large windows framing the long garden and reaching arms of a sculptural white gum. 

Upstairs there is a romantic layering of story, as vintage panelling, warm timber joinery, raked ceilings, soaring voids sit in happy combo with sleek laminated cabinetry, stone worktops. The new kitchen perfectly composed in crisp whites with warm timber notes, as seamless cabinetry meets stone worktops. There are delicate nooks for curated display and the perfect open conversation with the airy dining area that spills to a shady alfresco stage within the leafy rear courtyard.

The top level is given over to two welcoming bedrooms that capture views across Belconnen to the mountains beyond. The adjacent family bathroom is roomy and there is the convenience of a separate powder room. The bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in elegant white, matched with earthy ceramic floors that seamlessly transition to edge the bathtub. There is an additional third bedroom sequestered on the ground level and all bedrooms have built-in-robes.

Adding to the convenience is a single garage with an automatic door, providing secure parking and additional storage. Its thoughtful design aligns with the home's low-maintenance appeal, ensuring both functionality and ease of living.

Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.

layered.story

This stunning one bedroom studio apartment is visually striking, wonderfully liveable and captures dreamy treetop views across old Lyneham. A layering of rich texture and colour combines with vaulted concrete ceilings, honeyed flooring. Epic double glazing's welcome light and aspect, extending the living areas to a heavenly terrace. 

The Base 241 complex is famed for its architectural edge, quality inclusions and fabulous amenities. Designed by Cox Architecture and built by the progressive Construction Control, the building does not disappoint, with its striking layering of concrete, steel and glass. There is easy access via De Burgh Street to a secure basement parking spot with storage cage. Pedestrian entry is via the grand foyer, approached via a side avenue teeming with flowering jasmine, dappling the raw concrete floors with shadow play. 

No.102 conveniently housed on the ground floor, gifting ease of access and the surprise of both elevation and gorgeous aspect.

There is intrigue at play from the get-go, the bedroom playing peek-a-boo behind pocket sliders that can be closed or left open, enhancing the felt sense of spaciousness and light. Sea green frosted glass acts like a lantern, doubling down as an adjacent shower room, the ensuite cleverly utilising every inch of space with its walk-thru vibe and inviting translucency. The toilet is also framed in frosted glass creating a softly diffused light that works against the darker tones of the vanity and sink.

The kitchen is cleverly designed to wrap around the corner and impresses with its scheme of deep greys. Banks of storage meet stone worktops and mirrored smoky splashbacks capture the ethereal play of the surrounding landscape. There is a fabulous moving island that can sit central or be moved to the side, gifting a boon of additional space. This versatility is perfect for entertaining, the whole space merging to skyline, distant mountain glimpses. The romantic and spacious terrace garden a scene setter, teeming with star jasmine, wonderfully private, heavenly scented. 

A lift takes you to the rooftop, where a cooling swimming pool is set within beautifully curated gardens. From here you are treated to a magnificent sweeping panorama…think cityscape, twinkling lights, moody mountain ranges. One imagines wondrous sunsets, hanging with family and friends, the light fading over the hills, sharing a glass or two. Or swimming lazy laps early morning as the first light breaks. Perhaps gathering with neighbours to watch a movie, on the outdoor TV beneath the moonlight. Either way, the extraordinary rooftop amenities gift a poetic and powerful engagement with nature and landscape.

The fab locale places you front and central to the buzzing Dickson and Braddon precincts, and handy to the light rail whisking your straight to the CBD. There is a surrounding of green spaces, wetlands, shared biking and walking paths, gifting a winning lifestyle balance. The ANU, Melbourne Centre, New Acton precinct and O'Connor shops are all close to hand. The home is also close to transport including the light rail and metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
