Meet Sal Starrantino, Licensed Agent And Licensed Auctioneer

Sal Starrantino is the principal of CKS Real Estate and the person you deal with from your first appraisal through to settlement or lease signing. He is a licensed real estate agent and a licensed auctioneer, which means he can advise on the most suitable method of sale for your property and then run that campaign — including calling your auction himself — rather than passing the most important moment of the process to someone who has never met you or your buyers.

That hands-on approach shapes everything about the agency. Property owners are not handed between a listing agent, a marketing coordinator and a separate negotiator. One experienced agent inspects the property, forms the pricing view, answers buyer and tenant enquiry, reports back on inspections and negotiates the final terms. The detail carries through, nothing is lost in a handover, and you always know who to call.

Sal's work covers both sides of the market. For sellers, that means considered appraisals, honest feedback and campaigns designed around the individual property rather than a template. For landlords and tenants, it means well-presented rental listings, careful tenant selection and steady day-to-day management. For buyers, it means straight answers about a property instead of pressure.

What "Combining Knowledge And Service" Means In Practice

The CKS Real Estate name is built around the two things that decide most property outcomes: knowing the market properly, and looking after the people in the transaction. Neither works on its own. Accurate market knowledge without communication leaves clients in the dark, and enthusiastic service without real data leads to unrealistic prices and campaigns that stall.

  • Knowledge

    In-depth knowledge and understanding of local property markets, so pricing advice, buyer expectations and rental figures are grounded in what is actually happening in your area.

  • Service

    Outstanding customer service from the first appraisal onwards — calls returned, feedback passed on honestly and no client left wondering what happens next.

  • Auction Expertise

    Sal is also a licensed auctioneer, so auction campaigns are planned, promoted and called in-house rather than handed to an outside contractor on the day.

How We Help Owners, Investors And Tenants

Most people do not move house often, so the process can feel unfamiliar even for experienced investors. Our role is to remove that uncertainty. We start with a conversation about your situation and your timing, then set out the realistic options — the likely price range, the method of sale or lease that suits the property, the preparation worth doing and the preparation that is not worth the money.

From there the campaign is managed properly. Enquiries are answered quickly, because a buyer or tenant who cannot reach an agent simply moves to the next listing. Inspections are hosted rather than unlocked and left alone. Feedback is passed on as it is given, including the feedback owners would rather not hear, because that is what allows a strategy to be adjusted early instead of after a campaign has gone stale.

When offers arrive, or when the auction date comes around, the negotiation is handled with your reserve, your terms and your settlement timing front of mind. Contracts and lease documentation are prepared carefully and progressed with your solicitor or your tenant so the deal does not lose momentum after everyone has shaken hands.

You can see the type of property we work with across our sales listings and available rentals, or look through the properties we have recently rented and sold.
