What do our Clients say

“We, Sylvia and John, for 16 1/2 years, have lived in a 5-bedroom home at 30 Evergreen Place Mt Gravatt East and are now turning our lives upside down by downsizing and moving to a retirement village. We are most grateful to the person who recommended that we adopt Luminise Real Estate to sell our existing home. The team at Luminise are Kris Ivey and Danielle Runge, they are far more than just being a Real Estate Agent. They have a broad range of experience and knowledge in relation to aged care, retirement living and the whole transition to retirement living.

During the time at Mt Gravatt East we have had many Real Estate Agents say, you must declutter, not Luminise, they said present you home as you live in it. They provided us with a better understanding and considerations in selling our home, willingly spent time talking to us, ensuring we fully understood the process and highlighted minor issues and considerations and how best to present and promote our home for sale. It was clear to us; they have a great understanding of the different techniques required in selling a house depending on the situation.

Whatever was happening at our home to prepare for the sale, Kris and Danielle were there and involved. Photographs of our home were taken in vast detail with Kris and Danielle encouraging us to achieve the best possible result. Their intention was to present our home as we have it. Realising we were also packing for the move, they energetically helped to move boxes around for the best possible pictures and then helped return them to their original locations.

The time and effort to assemble a range of data and information to promote the sale of our home was incredible. While quickly having produced a leaflet with photo shots that clearly showed our home in the way it deserved. They were agreeable to change any point or picture we so desired. The street signage displayed our home well. Kris and Danielle kept us informed as they worked through the process of selling our home. Kris applied great effort to understand individual buyers’ position enabling effective price negotiations

Kris and Danielle directed us to appropriate companies to provide certification with minimum challenges to achieve compliance for the sale of our home. They never hesitated to answer every question asked and willingly explained some of the parameters of the retirement village we are moving into work within.

A local Estate Agent who over the years, maintained contact with Sylvia trying to get the job, contacted her shortly after our home went on realestate.com, (it was contracted in 3 days) he said that Luminise had well represented our home and we are clearly in good hands and the sale price they achieved was $125,000 more than he expected it to achieve. We are most grateful to Luminise, Kris Ivey and Danielle Runge for the dedication and effort they made in selling our home and guiding us through the transition to village living.”

What do our Buyers Say

“Working with Kris and Danielle has made the process of buying a home seamless and genuinely enjoyable. From the moment we met Kris, his warm smile, welcoming demeanour and incredibly friendly nature put us at ease.

After months of house hunting and encountering misleading information and poor experiences with other agents, we were thrilled to finally find the transparency we had been searching for with Kris and his team. They provided us with an impressive amount of information about the property and its history, which proved invaluable in making an informed decision.

Luminise was with us every step of the way, guiding us through the process with patience and care. From organising building and pest inspections to arranging opportunities to meet the vendors and truly understand the property’s story, they ensured the entire experience was smooth and stress-free.

What truly sets Kris apart is his expertise and dedication to helping retirees and seniors transition into their next chapter. His deep respect, empathy, and professionalism towards his vendors were evident from the outset. Kris goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients feel supported, valued, and confident throughout the process.

For anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially retirees or seniors, Kris and Danielle are simply the best in the business. Their exceptional service, unmatched expertise, and genuine care make what can often be a challenging process both easy and pleasurable. I highly recommend reaching out to Luminise for the best real estate experience you’ll ever have!!!

You guys have been amazing! and we hope to see more Luminise "for sale" boards in the future. 🙂”
