Erik was fantastic to work with on the sale of my apartment. He gave great advice on styling, kept me updated throughout, and stayed in close contact with buyers to achieve an excellent result. Before selling, the Ray White Summer Hill team also managed my rental exceptionally well—always prompt with maintenance, detailed in their inspections, and helpful with rental guidance. Highly recommend the Ray White Summer Hill team for both property management and sales!

Benice Tan- 1/2 Croydon Avenue Croydon 2132 New South Wales

Erik and Lisa go above and beyond in every sense. Their genuine care and compassion shine through in everything they do. Patient and kind, they take the time to break things down in ways that are easy to understand, offering clarity and reassurance when it's needed most. They guided us through one of life's most stressful transitions with empathy and expertise, making a challenging process feel manageable and supported. We’re incredibly grateful for their dedication.

Congratulations and thanks to Erik Polsek, standing tall in the village where people greet him with good cheer. Erik is remarkably accurate in his estimates and recommendations but never pushy. Erik possesses a quiet calm that builds confidence in both vendor and purchaser alike and manages to allay any concerns at each step in the process. A standout professional, Erik is a gentleman to all and it’s a pleasure doing business with him. I knew I could trust Erik with helping me manage such a huge life change. Thank you very much, Erik.

Robert Dennis- 10/49 Frazer St Dulwich Hill 2203 New South Wales

My initial experience with Erik during the purchase of the property left a strong impression on me due to his easygoing demeanor and warm personality. When it came time to sell that property recently, I was firmly resolved to work with Erik again. His sense of humor and relaxed approach effectively eased any concerns I had about the process. I had complete confidence in Erik for both the buying and selling experiences, and I wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation

Tara Marie Byrne- 1/2 Croydon Avenue Croydon

Erik was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish (and is still helping me with a few issues post purchase). He accommodated out of hours inspections and was always quick to reply to messages. Overall, an excellent person to buy our first home from. Thank you, Erik!

Julia Fung- 8/16 Grosvenor Crescent Summer Hill

Erik kept me updated on sale progress, kept in close contact with potential buyers, provided sound suggestions.

Catherine Flanagan- 2/20 Gower street Summer Hill

Erik is a striking professional, gifted in managing all kinds of human beings. Erik understands the market and imparts his knowledge without prejudice or patronisation. Erik keeps his business to himself, yet never lets on how busy he may be. He gives everyone the time they need but runs to time. Most importantly, Erik has an excellent sense of humour which endears him as completely trustworthy. I am very grateful to Erik for his commitment to hard work and his accurate predictions. Thank you very much.

Yan L- Summer Hill

I would like to take the time to thank Erik for his help with the sale of my property in Summer Hill. Erik provided invaluable advice throughout the process of the sale and communication was always kind and genuine. I was updated every step of the way. Erik's insight in the market ensured a smooth and stress free process, delivering a result that exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier, thank you Erik. I would also like to thank Lisa for looking after my property and tenants during the rented years. Her professionalism, care and kindness towards myself as the landlord as well as the tenants were felt and appreciated. Thank you Lisa.

Dipsy A- Summer Hill

A most appreciated guiding hand! Acting as an executor of a deceased estate, the entire process was foreign to me but I felt very supported throughout. From the first contact over the phone, I felt that Erik was someone you could trust. At no point did I detect any "selling tactics". I sensed that his market knowledge came from experience, not some marketing script. Not being from the area, it was heartwarming to know that the locals knew him. He was always straightforward, honest and patient in our interactions while remaining friendly and professional at the same time. Erik's a five-star!

Yendy S- Summer Hill

Warm and Professional! Erik and Lisa were everything we needed while simultaneously buying and selling. They are calm and knowledgeable of the Inner West market and used their know-how to get the job done even with a tight timeline. Being well- respected in our community made it easy for us to trust Erik and Lisa.

Anne R- Summer Hill

Great service! Erik was a pleasure to deal with. He kept me fully informed of all aspects of my property sale and answered all my questions. He was professional but kind and gave me helpful advice when needed. I can thoroughly recommend selling or buying with him!

Miles K- Summer Hill

Erik & Lisa Polsek (Ray White, Summer Hill) went above and beyond to ensure that my experience as a first home buyer was a smooth and pleasant one. Highly recommended and will definitely use Ray White in the future.

Teresa A- Summer Hill

Wonderful and Charming. Erik was such a wonderful person to work with during the time while selling my late parents house. He and his wife were so understanding in so many ways. Their advertising methods were so professional and also the photographs taken made the house welcoming. We were always in contact during the time of selling as well when the property was sold. We were very happy and satisfied how everything went.

Monica Oppen- 120 Smith Street Summer Hill

Straightforward. Reliable. No hype. Always on time.

Teresa Albanese- 65 Dalhousie Street Haberfield

Graeme Sanders- 609/2 Malthouse Way Summer Hill

Erik was very relaxed and focused on what we wanted to achieve. He didn't go on about what a great agent he was, as others had done. He gave us good advice, kept us informed, and was very reliable.

Mick Franco- 1/36 Sloane Street Summer Hill

Good level of information and contact, sensible advice and pleasant to deal with

Ashleigh Donnelly- 11/1a Robert Street Ashfield

Erik was calm, reassuring and committed to selling our property in this particularly challenging market. Erik was very responsive and went above and beyond to communicate and talk us through all stages of the selling process. I would highly recommend Erik.

Jane Scott- 59 Ormond Street Ashfield

Nothing is too much trouble for Erik with him going well above and beyond what would be expected for normal service. He is eminently trustworthy and makes sure he has the facts to support his recommendations.

Parisa Hafer- 33 Marlborough Street Leichhardt

Erik Polsek has done an incredible job at being the agent responsible for the sale of my deceased mother’s home. Erik listened to our family’s requests and handled an emotional time with great sensitivity and understanding. Erik did an excellent job of communicating with us during the entire campaign, offering regular updates and relevant information. As executor of my mother’s estate, Erik was able to help guide me through some of the tricky questions that I had with patience and professionalism. My family and I are delighted with the outcome of the sale and would sincerely like to thank Erik for his stellar services.

Robert Walker- 20/100 Carlton Cresent Summer Hill

We are extremely happy with the result that Erik achieved with the sale of our townhouse at Summer Hill. The sales campaign was undertaken in the recent Covid lockdown so we really appreciate Erik's due diligence and hard work that it took to get a record result in the townhouse complex in Carlton Crescent. Indeed, we feel it may have been a sales record for Summer Hill. Erik guided my wife and I through the online auction process and was very helpful in all aspects of the sale. He was also very communicative in regards to every prospective Bidder that was to attend the auction. The recent sale was the second that Erik has undertaken for us, as we sold another property in May of this year. As the managing agent for the two properties in the previous decade, I will sadly mis the communication that we have had between us in those years. A special mention to Lisa who also played a key roll in the recent sale and also for the rental / administration of the two properties in that time. Well done to both Erik and Lisa as they have provided excellent service to us in both the rental management and also the sale process of our two properties. I certainly recommend Ray White Summer Hill for all the services that they offer in and around Summer Hill. Thank You. Robert and Lynley Walker

Jane Seymour

I have had a business association with Erik and Lisa Polsek since 2014 when I engaged them to manage my Bland St apartment as a rental while I was overseas. When I decided to sell my apartment I didnt hesitate to ask Erik and Lisa to act as my selling agents. They were very good leasing management and it made sense to also have them as my selling agents. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They know the area thoroughly. They have a successful selling record that consistently achieves excellent results for their vendors. Even under the most challenging circumstances and environment such as a mandated Covid19 lockdown order and all the associated issues relating to that situation. During the selling period, communication and feedback were strong points.

Ginger Chen

Erik was very professional and responsive throughout the entire selling process

Deahne Rushforth

Erik was an excellent communicator, nothing was a problem and our sale went smoothly.

Robert Walker

Erik and Lisa have been managing out Townhouse at Summer Hill for over 10 years so it was an easy choice to have them sell our property recently. We performed a small renovation and Erik organised quotes and liaised with painters, carpet layers etc. The styling company that Erik arranged was outstanding too. When the campaign started, I was informed of every development that occurred. Erik’s communication was absolutely first class. In the very rare event that he missed a call, he called back soon after. The auction day went off flawlessly with Erik and Lisa performing a well rehearsed routine and we achieved a fantastic result that was well over the reserve. A special mention to the Auctioneer that Erik organised too. He had a knack for getting every last dollar from the Bidders which gave us the outstanding outcome we hoped for. Well Done and Thank You to Erik and Lisa. Regards, Rob and Lynley

Harley Keller

Erik was very helpful and pleasant to deal with, including helping to sort a couple of things after the settlement. Compared to the agent who sold our former home though, the process was not as smooth eg we had to organise our own building and pest report, whereas other agents centrally coordinate this.

Aileen Anggus

Very easy going agent, easy to deal with

Erik Polsek provided us with timely local market advice.

Catherine Magoffin

Erik worked diligently to sell my property. The corona virus situation made it much harder to show my property to potential buyers and market it generally. Erik worked extremely hard to sell my property in difficult circumstances and was always cheerful, positive and responsive to my requests. In addition he takes a genuine interest in the Summer Hill community and is greatly respected by it.

Darren Ally

Erik sold our house with minimal fuss, maximum professionalism and expertise and was friendly, always available and could not do enough to ensure the sale. He abided by our wish not to advertise and achieved the impossible- selling off the books with no advertising. After our last bad experience we didn’t have the funds. So Erik was able to tailor a campaign meeting our budget and achieved a sale with a great customer base, local knowledge and street smarts. He is an amazing operator and incredible salesman. You are very lucky to have him.

John McCann

Erik is very professional and an expert at his job.

Sherelle Hamilton

Erik was easy to communicate with. Communications were clear, efficient and in accordance with my expectations of the market. Flexible, friendly and with out losing focus of the business goals.

Glenn Watson

Erik is easy to deal with, relaxed, friendly and obviously experienced. He is a good salesperson, always recommending properties you might be interested in, without forcing anything onto you. (Obviously as Ray White is a franchise I'm only referring Erik and the Summer Hill office.)

Mary Hunter

Erik and Lisa have been absolutely fantastic! I have rented out my property through them and now they have sold it for me. They have been professional yet approachable with a sense of humour and a great appreciation of human nature. They also have a lovely dog! My son and his wife have just returned from 3 years in London and are now looking to buy a property in the Inner West. I will be having a little talk with them at Xmas to suggest their first port of call is Ray White Summer Hill.

Scott White

Erik and the Ray White Team at Summer Hill were excellent from the outset. From aclear and honest appraisal, marketing and buyer management, guidance in presentation, connection to tradies and clear communications through the process we were very happy. The result was a welcome bonus. Thanks you Erik and Lisa.

Yvonne Singleton

The process of preparing my property for sale and putting it on the market , was seamless. Erik was honest, supportive, helpful and pleasant, and ultimately achieved a sale price way above my expectation.

Celeste Tolentino

Erik was extremely professional and understood the local market and how it was behaving at the time of the sale of our property. He was realistic in the price range that the property could achieve and was very open in discussing his fees, the marketing campaign for the property and how to deal with the tenant who decided to leave during the marketing campaign.

Marty Roberts

Erik and Lisa managed and also recently sold our property. Selling is always a stressful experience for owners and Erik and Lisa did a fantastic job of managing our tenants and ensuring our place looked great in advertising and during inspections. Through the advice of Erik and Lisa, we managed to sell our property for a great price in a slowing market. I would strongly recommend their services for property management or selling property.

Margareth Uminski

Freya Parkes

Very personable, knowledgeable, didn't pressure me and was very supportive and made the process smoothe. He worked hard and got a good price.

Irene & Martin Cassidy- Summer Hill

Hi Erik We would like to thank you for the great work you did recently as our selling agent. We chose you as our agent as you came across to us from our first meeting as a person with great integrity, and we were very pleased to find that you were everything you appeared to be and more. Your marketing was excellent, you got to know potential buyers and you kept us all informed during the campaign. In addition you managed the pre-auction offers very well and got us an excellent selling price in this uncertain market. We cannot thank you enough (and Lisa of course) for going above and beyond your duties as our agents. I can honestly say that in the several house sales we have been involved in, in the UK, NZ and Australia, you are by far the best agent we have used. Many thanks again! Regards Irene

Angela Bekos

Erik and his team went out of their way to ensure the sale of our property went smoothly. Their experience and expertise was highly valuable.

Kylie- Summer Hill

- Would happily recommend Erik and Lisa at Ray White Summer Hill Erik and Lisa have managed my property for the past 6 months. Their approach echoes the Summer Hill village character whilst retaining a professional edge. They get things done without fuss, it's as simple as that. I also purchased this property via Erik and Lisa Polsek, they went the extra mile to provide documents that influenced my decision to purchase the property.

Louise Willems- Grosvenor Cres, Summer Hill

We chose Ray White Summer Hill as the property managers for our apartment because of their wealth of experience and professionalism. We also found them to be supportive and genuine, with a real concern to do the best for us and our tenant. This was particularly important to us as it was the first time we had been landlords and there was much we needed to learn. Lisa and Eric worked with care and consideration, taking us step by step through all processes which really helped alleviate any stress for us. They are a trustworthy and committed team.

Jarnah Miller- Terry Rd, Dulwich Hill

My husband and I have been renting a property through Erik and Lisa Polsek of Ray White Summer Hill for the last 6 months. During this time we have found their service to be friendly, efficient and thorough. We were delighted with the condition of the apartment upon occupation and had no problems settling in. Our phone calls and emails are always responded to in a timely manner as are any maintenance requests. I would have no hesitation in recommending Erik and Lisa Polsek to tenants, landlords and vendors.

Michael Badcock- Orpington Street, Ashfield

We met with a number of real estate agents when listing our property for sale. Both literally and figuratively, Erik at Ray White Summer Hill stood head and shoulders above them. Erik and Lisa are a hard working, friendly and honest team. We felt informed and assured at every step of the selling process. They were available to speak with and email whenever we desired and very patient with us when we vacillated over whether to accept a few offers on the property ahead of auction. Their work in generating interest and marketing helped achieve a sale price at auction which was well above our initial expectations. We commend the team at Ray White Summer Hill thoroughly to you as both great selling agents and lovely people. - Michael & Siân

Charlie and Marnie Fairlie- 78 Park Ave Ashfield

Dear Erik and Lisa, To find Real Estate agents that are “normal”, professional and a pleasure to work with is no easy task - thank you for being all of the above! Selling our house has been so easy & non-stressing and we have come out with a sum we could not have dreamed of reaching! Thomas will miss your visits - every time someone knocked on the door he said “is that Erik and Lisa?” Thank you once again, you really have been wonderful! Best wishes Marnie, Charlie, Thomas & Alexis.

Michael Badcock

Erik seemed honest, calm, assured and very friendly.

Dzintars Avotins

Efficiency

Paul Playoust

Havving delt with both Erik & Lisa for over a year a half, a false start, gentle contact was maintained, as well, observing the summer Hill results, was impressed. This auction was at the last minute, however all fell into place, with a bit of sweat on my behalf and instructions from Lisa ( needed of course0 it worked. the auction was one of the weirdest I've experienced, disappointing to say the least.\ But assured by Erik, the two following open days brought a good result.

Malcolm and Allyson Bailie- Dulwich Hill

We have dealt with many real estate agents over the years, and no one has come close to the level of customer service that we received throughout the purchase process of our house at Earlwood from Ray White Summer Hill. There has been a friendship and high level of trust formed over the past couple of months during the renovation of our Earlwood property, which has led us with no hesitation to ask Erik and Lisa to manage our house as a rental. We highly recommend Erik and Lisa Polsek to either sell, purchase through or manage your property, honesty we found is their number one differential factor between all other real estate agents in the Inner West. Malcolm and Allyson Bailie
