Excellent knowledge of the market
Ian had excellent knowledge of the market and appeared to really nurture the interest of potential buyers. He was excellent at keeping us informed of progress in a very direct and timely manner. The marketing campaign was very successful and we are both very happy with the online auction result.

Problem solver
Moving houses can be a double-edged sword. On one side lies the excitement of a new home, and on the other, the anxiety of losing loved memories. I was going to miss my secret spot in the old apartment, the special green corner in the neighbourhood, the deep flavour of my local café, and the views, oh yes, the panoramic Sydney views. All of these represented years of happiness and discovery. Yet the call for change had rung loud in my heart, and I had decided to listen. The decision to sell was attractive but the execution: hard and emotionally wrenching. And then came Ian Qiu. As a real estate professional, he has no equal and as a human being, he is even better. Ian possesses qualities and values essential in the process of shifting from loved memories to new possibilities. He combines knowledge with patience, genuine concern with reliability and above all, honesty. He became the good guide I needed for this stage in my life as well as a reliable advisor and an efficient negotiator. But as important, he was a problem solver. Ian is a natural and as a professional in the real estate industry, I highly recommend him.

Stand out as agents
Having just purchased an apartment in Pyrmont in the 2021 housing boom and can definitely say agents make a huge difference to purchasers, as well as vendors. Ian and Natasha stand out as agents who genuinely listen to the purchaser and go out of their way to make this difficult decision as easy as possible. And this comes from giving their time and expertise to let you really get a feel for a place before making any decision. They provided unlimited access to properties, giving me time to get to feel what it would be like to live there. They gave me space to carefully consider pros and cons, shared openly the realities of prices and negotiations, and knew every aspect of the property, its common areas and shared facilities - but never pressured me. The important thing for me was they did not disappear after the exchange – they facilitated the next steps and went out of their way to make the time leading to settlement so much easier. They have an extraordinary relationship with the residents in the building because they know and care about the property they are working with. I have no hesitation in recommending Ian and Natasha as agents.

Exceeded our expectations
We selected Ian after engaging 7 Real Estate Agents in Pyrmont. Since then, we have never looked back. Not only has Ian helped us achieve great results within 3.5 weeks, but he has also been responsive, helpful, fun and professional to deal with. He exceeded our expectations, he was at every single open house, and sometimes helped buyers who wanted to inspect outside hours like 7:30 - 8:15 pm at night. He sees himself as the most hard-working agent in Pyrmont and I couldn't agree more. Above all, it has been a pleasant journey guided by Ian every single step. We would strongly recommend anyone who is looking to sell their property to speak to Ian. ps: I am a Procurement Manager by profession, hence I take a very detailed approach & process when selecting a supplier to work with.

Outstanding communication skills
Whilst I have known Ian for a number of years when we lived at Pyrmont, it was not till he sold our unit that his outstanding communication skills were evident. He dealt with both ourselves and prospective buyers with ease. We were kept up to date at all times and given sensible and reasonable advice. The professionalism was evident right from the beginning. We were advised quickly with an estimate of our costs, the marketing plan and how Ian would keep us in the loop. He did everything he said he would and more. Importantly, Ian listened to us when we made an enquiry. He did not dismiss us but saw such as an opportunity to showcase his professionalism. I would recommend Ian very highly if you want the best.
A. Barnard
Knows Pyrmont very well
Ian is an agent who knows Pyrmont like the back of his hand and always has another property to show when the first is not quite right. I am very happy to have worked with him, allowing me to find a great new home.
A. Tait
Genuine and down-to-earth
Ian, Natasha and the team at Morton did a fantastic job with the entire sales process for our property, from planning and preparation, through to the auction itself. They were always very responsive to our queries and communicated in a clear and straightforward manner on all aspects of the sale process. We also appreciated the genuine and down-to-earth way in which Ian and the team dealt with us. We would not hesitate in recommending Ian to others for their next property transaction.
E. Platen
Top agent in the Pyrmont area
Before I gave the property to an agent for sale, I tried to find out who may have been the most experienced in the area and could achieve the highest possible sales price. Ian Qiu was standing out among those I could get information about. Indeed, I must say that Ian did an outstanding job in the sale of my property and achieved an excellent result. I felt fully informed about the details of his strategy and how it became implemented. In my view, Ian Qiu is clearly the top agent in the Pyrmont area.
A. Pearson
Consummate professional
Ian is the consummate professional. He was there with me every step of the way. He was patient with explaining answers to all of my questions and was great with follow-up. Ian was very polite and professional at all times. He is relatable, well-mannered and always responded in a timely manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ian to either sell a property or purchase with. Natasha who currently works with Ian is fantastic support. It was a pleasure working with both of them.
L. Robinson
He does what he says he will do
Ian was very committed to finding us a property and would organise inspections at our convenience, often out of hours. During our hunt for a property, we dealt with many undesirable agents, who were not interested in us at all, but from the start Ian was and his genuine concern for our needs was so appreciated. He is a genuinely nice person and most importantly, he does what he says he will do, not just to get a sale. Natasha was also very professional.
J & W. Sly
Thorough, keen, and knowledgeable
Like anybody who has bought and sold several houses, we approach estate agents with some cynicism. Ian is the exception, he is thorough, keen, knowledgeable, persistent but not intrusive, in short very professional. He made buying our apartment easy, he grasped what we were looking for, found it, negotiated with the vendor, and secured it for us. We have no hesitation in recommending Ian, and we wish him continuing success.
R & K. Luke
Highly professional
My wife and I bought an apartment in Pyrmont with Ian acting as agent for the vendor. Ian, supported by the very capable Natasha, gave us every assistance to get to know the apartment, the apartment block and the area so that we felt that we had a full picture of what we were potentially buying into. And this made us comfortable proceeding to the purchase. Ian's assistance and attention didn't finish with the signing of an agreement, as arrangements were made for us to have access to the apartment between signing and settlement to plan decorating and moving in. They have continued after settlement by providing access to tradespeople while my wife and I have been away from Sydney. Ian is extremely personable, highly professional, shows great knowledge of Pyrmont and the goings on in Jacksons Landing in particular and, if a seller is looking for an agent who can put a buyer at ease, I would say that Ian can be relied on to achieve that purpose.
C & D. Rodriguez
Most authentic real estate agent
Ian is truly the nicest and most authentic real estate agent that we’ve dealt with. He has been super patient with us under these stressful times and is always available. We highly recommend him to anyone looking at selling.
N. Campbell
Exceptional operator
In my experience, Ian Qiu is an exceptional operator. His advice and recommendations throughout the preparation for and conduct of the sale of our property in Pyrmont were second to none. He was also unfailingly attentive in providing feedback even when going was tough. I am convinced absolutely that outcome of the sale was the very best that could have been achieved in the notoriously fickle Sydney market. I recommend without reservation Ian’s services both professionally and personally.
