We would just like to say how grateful we are to Slaney and Co and Tom himself for helping us purchase our new property in Charters Towers. Throughout the whole process he was professional, reliable and knowledgeable.  He has been extremely helpful and has well and truly gone the extra mile for us, and we can’t thank him enough. And will definitely use Slaney and Co in the future if required.

Thank you Tom and Slaney and Co

We decided to sell our properties Annavale and Basalt in early 2024 and approached Henry about the process. Henry met with us and explained it from start to finish.

The process was never going to be straight forward as Irrigated Farming and Feed lotting is not common in our area. With Henry’s guidance we decided to take his advice and go with an Expression of Interest.

When we were ready, Henry took lots of Photos and Drone footage and formatted them with very accurate information, into an impressive sale video and brochure, going to the market mid 2024.

The sale process became straight forward with Henry’s experience, honesty, professionalism and utmost confidentiality. The prospective buyers were shown around the properties in a methodical, friendly and accurate manner.

We were always kept up to date on progress with weekly emails, numerous phone calls and accurate information.

Henry handled the negotiations very calmly and professionally, was never pushy and always extremely honest to both parties.

We thank Henry and Jennifer who confidently guided us through the settlement process to achieve a result we were both happy and satisfied with.

We feel Slaney & Co did a very good job for us and believe the business is well placed to succeed for the long haul, with Tom showing the same honest, professional traits as his parents.

 We have found Henry to be very honest, patient and reliable over an extended period.

We initially engaged Slaney & Co to market our two farming properties, Keshvale & Billabong, in 2023. A 6-week Expressions of Interest marketing programme was decided, advertising was comprehensive and enquiry strong. Along the way we had some challenges and saw a lot of potential buyers come and go over a 12 month period. However, Henry stayed the course to achieve a very good sale outcome for us.

 We would definitely engage Slaney & Co again

“I engaged Slaney & Co to sell our home on rural acreage. At all times, I found them to be extremely honest, professional and dedicated to achieving the best result for us.

Their fantastic photos and drone footage, together with willingness to include suggestions in the writing of the property description, at all times emphasised their attention to detail. Tom’s excellent communication skills – clear, direct and ‘no rot’ – make him a standout in this industry. He even offered to help with the packing process!

Thank you Henry, Jennifer and Tom for your integrity, hard work and sincerity. I can’t thank you enough and highly recommend you to others.”

We engaged Tom to sell our 20 acre property recently. We found Tom to be extremely honest, fantastic with communication and timely with all his responses.

Tom was “straight down the line”, with a no nonsense honest approach to valuing the property. Making arrangements for viewings was seamless, communication was spot on.

Tom took fantastic photos and drone videos which highlighted the property.

We had the property sold within the week due to Tom’s efficient marketing skills and hard work.

We would highly recommend Slaney and Co and Tom to anyone who is considering selling their property. You will discover an honest, reliable, professional and hardworking team who are ready to assist and who do a fantastic job.

Having bought and sold a couple of rural properties in our business life I would like to say that this by far was the most stress free.  Not that everything went without a hitch but Tom made sure that he dealt with any hiccups quickly and professionally.  At no time did we feel that we had to worry about negotiations and how things were progressing.  Their knowledge, contacts and integrity shines through.  Will not hesitate to go straight to Slaney & Co for any future property purchases or sales.

Slaney & Co approached us to sell our 50-acre subdivision blocks at Lollywood Estate, outside Charters Towers in 2023. We gave them the chance and were pleasantly surprised with the results. They had buyers ringing them and within a short period of time they had them all sold for the money we wanted. They were professional, punctual, and polite. We would recommend Slaney & Co to anyone looking to sell Rural Land.

We have engaged Slaney & Co to sell several properties for us over the last 10 years and purchased property where Slaney & Co have been the Seller’s Agent. We have high regard for Henry’s knowledge, conduct and insight.  It is without hesitation that we recommend Slaney & Co as the preferred agent for your property sale.

I recently sold a property through Slaney & Co in Charters Towers. The team at Slaney & Co went above and beyond to secure a good sale result for me.  The presentation of marketing my property was second to none and I was very impressed with the effort put into it. Tom was very professional and I knew what was going on at each step of the sale. His marketing strategies, negotiation skills and attention to detail was very commendable. I can’t thank Tom and the team at Slaney & Co enough and I would certainly recommend them to others.

We have now known Henry for over 10 years, when we bought our first property off him, Crystalbrook Station, via Chillagoe in 2013. It was then a few years on and we had decided to sell our Daintree property so we contacted Henry again to list our place.

Henry was the successful agent and worked hard to sell the property.  We found Henry to be honest, easily approachable and very knowledgeable. He has the ability to get the deal done and has a ‘can do’ attitude to make the sale happen.

We highly recommend Henry for any sales and no doubt we will keep him in mind for any future sales.

We would be happy to recommend Henry, Jennifer and new member Tom to market and sell a rural property.

With the sale of our property Basalt, Henry was always amenable to any suggestions, was always friendly and obliging and was particular with the legals picking up on several discrepancies. He has an extensive knowledge of sales and properties in Queensland.

We would highly recommend Henry and his team to sell your rural property.

Their years of experience in the field gives them the knowledge needed for each individual property and circumstance. We took Henry’s advice and trusted his judgement and got the result we were looking for. His dedication and eye for detail are really worth noting. Very happy clients.

We recently engaged Slaney & Co.  to coordinate the sale of our cattle property, Red Rock Station, Einasleigh.

We can highly recommend Henry to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Henry is a true blue professional, good honest, friendly bloke.

Henry gave 110%, not only to us, but to all who inspected our property.

The auction was very professionally done, with a great result.  Thanks to Henry, Jennifer & team.

Henry followed through with his professionalism, right to handover of the property.

Amazing Team.   Amazing Result.   Thank you.

We would highly recommend Henry and his team to future sellers because we can attribute the successful sale of our property, “Daintree Island”, to their personal expertise in the marketing field, teamed with a genuine and honest approach to the sale.

Henry went over and above what was required of him, and was happy to do so. His overall demeanour meant that we were always comfortable to discuss any worries or questions that we had for him at any time.

I have no doubt that Henry is capable of achieving a desired result in any situation.

Thanks Again, Henry and Jennifer.

The sale of the historic Maryvale Station in November 2016 was completed by a straight-talking, knowledgeable, reliable ‘get-the-job-done’ team led by Henry Slaney.

During the sale period Henry never wavered…..he kept our family believing it would be done, and it was!

Thank you Henry for keeping the belief!

‘We would highly recommend and Slaney & Co after our dealings with Henry over the last couple of years through the marketing and eventual sale of our station. Henry has a broad knowledge in the pastoral industry and years of experience. This is coupled with a calm professional approach and we had the knowledge that he had our best interests in mind at all times. His best attribute for us above all, is that Henry is a good bloke. Easy to deal with, honest & reliable and we would definitely work with Henry again in the future.’

Damien Curr & Bridget Adams

“We recently sold Lucky Creek Station Central Queensland through Slaney & Co.We found Henry and Jennifer to be very honest and efficient to work with as well as being committed to finding the right client for us.They listened to what we wanted, gave an honest opinion of where they saw market values, but worked diligently to accomplish what we were seeking.

Their years of experience and understanding of rural life meant they gave us sound advice for wording on contracts and settlement conditions.

We recommend Slaney & Co as credible, enthusiastic rural agents who do not “sugar coat” but give you their honesty and  are determined to follow through to completion.”

Gerard and Elizabeth Lyons

Junction Creek Station

From the time we first floated the idea of selling, Henry and Jennifer took the time to explain ‘markets and marketing’, ‘how to present’, ‘where to market’ and ‘achievable price expectations’.

At all times they were respectful of our time frames, firm in their advice, which was always in our best interest and open with communications.

They worked for and with us and we achieved a good result.

They remain our friends.

It is our pleasure to write this referral for Henry. We have known Henry and Jennifer both personally and professionally for the last 7 years.

We have consistently found Henry to be reliable, honest, a man of great integrity with drive and dedication to the job at hand. Henry was involved with the sale of our cattle and in the sale of our property “Nottingham Downs” which had been in our family for 60 years. The decision to sell was not an easy one. We had dealt with Henry as a stock agent for a long time and were inspired by his ethics and the way he represented his clients. Henry’s marketing proposal was comprehensive and gave us comfort that our interests would be well represented.

The seven week Auction marketing programme was professional, the feedback during the time was great and we sold the property by negotiation after the Auction. We were extremely happy with Henry’s commitment to achieving the best result for us and in giving us feedback. We feel he is knowledgeable and trustworthy, cares about his client’s best interests and have no hesitation in recommending him to graziers looking to sell stock or property.

We have known Henry for some time, so we discussed our property interests on many occasions. Henry initially suggested an opportunity to upgrade our property holdings.

Henry’s proposition was to sell our current holding of “Chippendale” at Charters Towers and then buy “Nevilles & Humpybong Stations” at Townsville. Henry explained that this could allow us to amalgamate all agistment cattle onto one property. The saving made by holding one property without requiring agistment would offset the upgrading costs.

We worked through the sums, looked at the properties and decided to follow Henry’s recommendation of back-to-back, sell and buy contracts … about 12weeks later it was done!

Henry was knowledgeable about the country, he gave us time to do our homework, and because of that we were confident to make the move. We consider Henry trustworthy, capable, knowledgeable and understanding to the things that are important to us.

We would recommend Henry to any cattleman looking to sell their place.

Ann & I met Henry during the early 1990’s, when he was the northern representative for CALM. In the early years Henry marketed all our stock but in more recent times Henry has been more on an advisory basis.

We have found him to be experienced, knowledgeable and thorough and have confidence in his recommendations because he has always been concerned about what is in our best interests. We have been dealing with Henry for more than tens years without fault and would have no hesitation in recommending him to other producers.

I met first met Henry in 1995 during his time as North Queensland Field Manager for CALM and was involved with him in the formation of TOPEX. Since then my family have marketed cattle with Henry either directly, or indirectly, via other staff in the business and have found his advise to be accurate and most importantly honest. The thing that is of most comfort to me is that Henry thinks about the best marketing strategy, proposes several options and then advises us on the basis of what is in our best interests. By removing emotion out the marketing strategy and analyzing the straight fundamentals in the marketplace, Henry’s advice has been invaluable to our business. Henry’s intention of achieving the best possible result rather than JUST MAKE A SALE has always been at the forefront of our marketing success.

On the basis of dealing with Henry for 10 years I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other producers for both their stock and property marketing.

We have been involved with Henry Slaney for a number of years. Henry was involved with the purchase of Humpy Bong & Nevilles in 2002.

Only through Henry’s knowledge and persistent nature reassuring us the 40,000 acre property of very hilly and difficult access to and from the property we agree to purchase the property. This investment paid off as in 2005 we were able to sell at a profit and this enabled us to purchase another property easier to manage and suit our lifestyle.

Henry is always friendly, honest and reliable and would recommend him as an agent to any producer looking to buy or sell property

In early 2005 I appointed Henry Slaney as the exclusive agent to market “Homevale”, my home property for 30years. From our initial meeting, when Henry showed me the suggested marketing plan, right through the advertising, marketing and property inspections I found Henry’s attitude courteous, knowledgeable and professional.

The six-week Auction programme recommended was a great success as “Homevale” sold under the hammer. Both during and after the “Homevale” marketing programme I referred many of my friends who are considering selling, to Henry, as I am very confident he will look after them. Since the sale of “Homevale” Henry has kept in contact, revealing himself to me as a person who is interested in his customers beyond his business dealings, to a more personal level … I think he cares about people.

We have marketed stock and property with Henry since the mid 1990’s and found him to be professional, knowledgeable and most importantly very ethical. Before we started dealing with Henry we had found it difficult to find agents who marketed our stock to our best advantage.

We trust Henry implicitly and believe he is genuinely interested in what is best for us and our business. We think that a trusting relationship with our agent has helped our business because there are no hidden agendas … we know Henry is always representing our interests to the best of his ability. Over the years Henry has successfully marketed store and slaughter cattle for us and we would recommend him to any cattlemen, as he is a man of integrity.

After having our Innisfail property “Mena Vale ” listed with a number of different agents, including all the big name ones, for a couple of years and with few inspections, we were becoming quite disillusioned with agents and their attitudes in general.

After approaching Henry in mid 2005 we were pleasantly surprised and quite impressed at the speed and professionalism at which Henry showed in getting a marketing programme under way. We were also impressed with the professional approach and attitude Henry displayed in his marketing programme for our property which sold after auction 3 months after initially approaching him. Henry kept a cool head when things didn’t seem to progress in the right direction and in the end brokered a price that we were happy with.

I guess what impressed us the most about Henry was his integrity, attitude and commitment towards us as the Vendors. In the past we have been wary of agents because they have given us the impression they were working for the buyer more than ourselves even though we were paying their way. Not so with Henry, he didn’t leave us in any doubt that he was committed to and working for us, and if for no other reason, we would highly recommend Henry as your selling agent.

Slaney & Co sold Burlington, our family home for over 35 years, in May 2011. We had reached a stage in our lives where selling Burlington was the next logical step in downsizing our business, but putting the property on the market seemed like a very daunting task, due to the state of the grazing industry and the depressed property market.

From his first contact Henry patiently coached us through the process of listing and marketing the property. Ultimately the property sold itself, but we were very impressed with the professionalism demonstrated by Henry, Jennifer and their nominated solicitor.

They always gave us the impression that they would go the extra mile for their clients.

I have known Henry for a number of years since having done business with him selling cattle when he worked for CALM.When Henry learnt we were interested in selling Glen Dhu he approached me with a proposal as to what he could offer us as our agent in selling Glen Dhu.

I was immediately impressed with the proactive, positive and professional approach Henry made to me. He stated from the start of the auction process of Glen Dhu that he was acting for our behalf as the vendor and his actions never led me to believe he was doing anything else but that.

He was always proactive through the whole process and worked very hard at getting the best results for us. He put together a good brochure to put Glen Dhu forward in the most positive manner as well as being very informative. He kept me as the vendor very well informed at all stages.

It was a pleasure to work with Henry and believe he was a definite asset to the process of auctioning Glen Dhu. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any body as a resourceful and competent agent for the sale of stock and land.

Having made a decision to sell our property “Inorunie” we had the good fortune to contact Henry Slaney at Slaney & Co to enter into an auction programme for the property.

Our previous experience with auctioning was not a good one as it met with little success, so we were dubious at first. However, Henry’s professional atttitude and support encouraged us to proceed with an auction programme.

Due in no small part to Henry’ s efforts, we ultimately agreed to a sale prior to auction and it was down to Henry’s dedicated efforts that we were able to bring the matter to a successful sale.

We were happy with the result and we were pleased with Henry’s work and his ongoing support during the transaction.

We can recommend Henry and the team at Slaney & Co, given our pleasant experience.

I first made the decision to sell Silver Valley Station in early 2007. Silver Valley had been in my family for 36 years. Having known Henry since the early 1990’s when Henry was agent for CALM, I had found Henry to be honest in his dealings with me and a man of integrity who called a spade a spade.

I knew that Henry had the knowledge and know how to market and sell Silver Valley.

Henry not only advised me how to market Silver Valley, but took into account other important factors such as the cattle market and weather conditions at the time. Henry was spot on, and after a five week marketing plan, Silver Valley was sold on auction day.

I highly recommend Slaney & Co and the team of Henry and Jennifer Slaney to any producer looking to market their property. We were really happy with the marketing, organization and outcome and felt my interests were professionally represented during the ‘Silver Valley’ selling process.

In February 2010 we sold our property ‘Uramo Station’, Mt Garnet at Auction. After nearly eleven years of ownership my husband and I made the difficult and emotional decision to sell. ‘Uramo’ was not only a wonderful cattle property but it was our business and our family’s home. Many emotions and difficulties arise when selling a property so we were grateful for not only the expertise and professionalism showed to us by Henry and his wife Jennifer, but also the compassion and thoughtfulness they extended to us.We have dealt with our fair share of real estate agents over the years and none have stood out like Henry for his professionalism, regular and detailed updates, selling plans, honesty with his advice, willingness to lend a hand and tact. He was always on time even when having to drive hours to get to our property and ‘went the extra mile’ to get it right for us. One example of this was the aerial photos of the property that we had done for advertising. Henry was not completely happy with the results so, at his expense to charter a helicopter he had them redone.Henry couldn’t wish for a more organised and pleasant office manager with Jennifer. We were impressed as Jennifer knows what she’s doing, does it well and always has a courteous manner and together they make a great team. Should we ever need a real estate agent to sell or buy another property, Slaney & Co. would be it. They know their market, they know the legalities, they know cattle and they know people. That’s the whole package.

Robert and I sold our property “Lucky Break” to the Government in 2010. It is such an emotional roller coaster ride when making big life changing decisions so after the sale, we were feeling at a loss and took some time away to visit friends in the US. Upon returning to Australia we started to look for our new home but had no real idea of what, or where, that would be.Now there are some lovely agents out there but we all know too well that there are agents that will try and sell you anything, despite the clients’ heartfelt interests. It is hard to place faith and trust in those types of agents. Let’s face it; when making a big decision, whether it is buying or selling, you want someone on your side who is working with you.
Henry had seen us at an auction and approached us to see how we were going and asked what we were after. Our first impression was that he cared and that he was very genuine. Over the next few months Henry kept in touch and kept us informed with properties that he thought would suit. We were very impressed with his professionalism. He never pulled on the quirky sale pitches. Instead he would show us the properties and leave the decision making up to us.

We would often ask Henry’s opinion and he would always give an honest unbiased answer. We appreciated this very much, as it showed that he respected us and our business. Henry treated us with integrity and honesty and it was always enjoyable going on inspections with him.
Henry suggested that we inspect “Lamoy”, a 4000acre property near Charters Towers. We were pleasantly surprised and it seemed to tick many of the boxes on our list. We decided to make an offer and were again on that emotional roller coaster ride of doing more figures and cash flows and the gut wrenching feeling of “are we doing the right thing”? Henry was fabulous throughout this period, never pushy or nosey. He was in fact very supportive and kept us well informed.

We highly recommend Henry to anyone who is buying and after reading all the other testimonials, it seems that he is fabulous at selling as well. It was such a pleasure to do business with an agent whose professionalism, integrity and ethics are of a high standard. He also sees the bigger picture and works with you. We would definitely use Henry again.

After reaching a decision to sell Camden Park, which had been our home for more that 50 years and owned by the Clemments family for 130 years, we wanted the sale to be handled in a professional and expedient manner.

Before we had a chance to put our feelers out we were contacted by Henry Slaney of Slaney & Co who had heard from his extensive network that we were looking to move on. Henry knew exactly how to market Camden with a combination of photos, brochures and website information.

Within three weeks Henry had found a buyer and made the sale happen. Throughout the process Henry made himself available to us and spent time in our home, making sure that both parties were happy with the handover schedule.

We would recommend Henry to anyone looking for an honest and reliable person with extensive knowledge in the stock/land industry.

Back in 2007 we approached Henry chasing more grass during drier years. When doing so Henry suggested we look at Inorunie as an option. We went ahead with the purchase and were very happy with our first contact with Slaney & Co. As it was always only a grass option with better seasons around Cloncurry we decided to sell and we had no hesitations but to deal with Henry for this sale. People thought we didn’t stand a chance when putting Inorunie up for sale because of the downturn in the property market with very few properties selling at Auction. When approaching Henry to sell our Property in North Queensland he provided us with honest and professional advice to market our property. We spent long hours discussing with him our best option which was to go forward with a price in mind as this eliminated all other factors at the time of selling. We were very impressed with the services that Slaney & Co provided too us and had the property up for sale and sold in due time. What we thought was going to be a difficult and lengthy sale turned out to be very successful and this was due to the knowledge and professionalism of Henry. We were very impressed with Henrys contact between both parties at sale and could rely on him to keep us informed throughout the process. We would highly recommend Henry to market any properties as he has the knowledge, contacts and pro-active advice. We look forward to working with him in the future.
