We've dealt with Duttons for around 20 years. After deciding to sell a property, we went seamlessly from Duttons' property management arm to their realtor group. Good choice for us. With their sensible analysis and guidance, we chose an appropriate selling strategy which led to a successful sale within a realistic time frame. We'll have no issue using Duttons again in the future. Satisfied? You bet!

Ole Schmidt of Dutton's was recommended to us by our mortgage broker and we have been extremely impressed by his level of attention, responsiveness and integrity. Ole and Ainsley helped my parents navigate the Victoria real estate market and find the perfect home in which to downsize, with patience, tact and excellent advice. We felt that they really listened to my parents' needs and concerns and went above and beyond in ensuring that my parents were happy and supported throughout the process, from viewings, to making the offer, to dealing with the inspection and closing. I would highly recommend Dutton's and in particular, Ole Schmidt and Ainsley Gower.

A colleague suggested we reach out to Duttons when we began searching for a condo in Victoria and we are so glad we did! Ole was incredibly knowledgeable, quick and thorough in responding to all of our questions, and really helped us feel comfortable with the entire process from start to finish.

When we were planning to rent our Victoria-area townhouse, we originally contacted Duttons, based on a recommendation from a friend. The experience was excellent - our main contact was Zana, who took care of everything very professionally. We truly had no worries about having tenants in our property. When we decided to sell, it made sense to have Duttons handle our sale too, to make the transition as seamless as possible. We were very pleased by the services provided by Ole. He was very professional, great at communicating, and offered excellent, no-pressure advice every step of the way. You have the knowledge that you are dealing with someone with integrity and honesty - something that is very important to us! We would certainly recommend Duttons, for both property management and real estate services!

After being out of the Real Estate Market for 33 years, it was time to sell our home. We chose Duttons and Company and Ole. We needed lots of guidance as things had changed so much in the Real Estate World.. Ole was always there for us. His quiet knowledgeable professional manner was what we needed. He knew the market and positioned our home to sell at the right price. It did in 5 days. Communication was also very important to us during this time, all questions we had during the sale, were answered within minutes via phone, email or text. We would never hesitate to recommend Duttons and Ole.

I can't say enough positive things. Mrs. Dutton (one of the founders) has helped manage our rental property for over 15 years. Always excellent service. When we decided to sell the unit, we turned to Duttons, specifically Ole Schmidt, to sell it for us. Ole was excellent. Kind, knowledgable, attentive to my mother, and very good at getting us the best possible sales price. I highly recommend this company. Gold star on all fronts.

Duttons is amazing! I have worked with them in a few capacities-- using them as my property management company, consulting about sales, and also as part of their Community Impact Fund where they have contributed to the non-profit that I work for through sponsorship and support. They genuinely care about the community, about their clients, and their properties. I would recommend them to everyone!

Duttons are one of the most community-minded businesses that we have had the pleasure to come across. They have sponsored kids to attend youth programs, helped us build a bike & stroller shelter for the centre, and they support many other non-profits in Victoria - all because they care so much about their neighbourhood!
