Were these people really happy after it was all said & done?

The advertising and staging were exceptional, and both Lisa and Wayne helped us to feel confident through the entire process. Everything was transparent with written reports supplied after every open home of what potential buyers thought of the property, and if any questions from buyers arose they both assisted us as to how to handle these.The time frame from start to finish was quick. They both went the extra mile to help us reach a price that we were looking for, and made us feel like friends rather than part of a business transaction. Everything they did and said gave us confidence and they conducted the whole process in a very professional way with no pressure. I would have no hesitation to use them again and will certainly recommend them to anyone who may be planning to buy or sell. Thank you so much."

Stephen, Anita and Chelsea Waters


"I would like to highly recommend Lisa and Wayne Parfitt as Real Estate agents. They sold my mothers house in a short period of time and were very professional in doing so.They were very flexible and willing to work within every way, from the staging (which was amazing) to the open homes and then to the auction. My feelings and situation I was in, was all handled very well. They were a great couple who worked together through the whole process, and it was a pleasure to know them."
