Sandra Lui, the Paralegal who managed our Sale and Settlement at River City Conveyancing was superb. Professional, punctual and trustworthy in every way we were given complete confidence through the process of sale. A highly satisfying experience.
I highly recommend River City Conveyancing. I’ve now entrusted Sandra and John with both a property purchase and sale and received excellent service on both transactions, almost five years apart. Sandra was my main contact and was exceptionally prompt, efficient and friendly, and John was on hand to answer a couple of curly questions about the contract. They made the process so easy that I even asked a couple of times if they were sure I didn’t need to action anything else! I was particularly impressed with how well versed the team was in Queensland’s 2025 conveyancing law changes that added a new layer of complexity to property transactions, so soon after the new laws came into effect. A big thanks again and I’ll definitely be back in touch if I need conveyancing services in Queensland in the future.
I’ve used Shannon and Matthew for multiple property transactions now and their service is exceptional.They’re professional, easy to communicate with, and always on top of everything. The whole process is smooth and stress-free because they genuinely know what they’re doing Highly recommend River City Conveyancing.
I had a fantastic experience working with Sandra for my investment property purchase in Brisbane. She was always quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated her professionalism and support throughout the transaction. John was also very helpful in providing the advice that was needed. I’d definitely recommend their team to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive solicitor.
I recently engaged River City Conveyancing for the purchase of a property in Brisbane, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. My first dealings with the company date back to 2008, followed by further transactions in 2010, 2013, and 2015 for both purchases and sales. Although they may be among the most economical options available, their work has consistently been of a very high standard, with absolutely no added stress to me as a buyer or seller — no small feat, considering that property transactions are often inherently stressful. A special thank you to Shannon Kajim, whose professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail made the process seamless and worry-free. She provided timely updates, explained every step clearly, and ensured that all documentation was completed accurately and on schedule. Her communication was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to ensure I was well-informed and confident throughout. I would also like to acknowledge Principal Solicitor John Horricks, whose expertise and leadership clearly set a high standard for the entire team. His oversight and assurance gave me complete confidence that my matter was managed with the utmost care and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend River City Conveyancing to anyone seeking reliable, responsive, and highly professional conveyancing services. Their combination of expertise, clear communication, and genuine client care truly sets them apart.
Absolutely outstanding service. I was blown away by the patience, calm assurance and diligence of Matthew who took a complex and long running matter to a swift conclusion. Highly recommend- a pleasure to deal with.
Highly recommend Shannon at River City Conveyancing. She was ahead of every step and helped us through the settlement process with knowledge and professionalism.
