IF YOU ASK ME WHAT THE ABSOLUTE BEST PART OF MY JOB IS......
I would have to reply by saying without a doubt it has to be the feeling I get when I open my email box and get to read something like the below....can't put a price on this ever....
"What others have said here so eloquently, I endorse as also being my experience. I chose Team Parfitt to sell my home initially because I was so impressed with Lisa Parfitt’s confidence and enthusiasm. Subsequently meeting Wayne her husband and partner I could see they formed a really dynamic Team. From the moment I made that decision a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders as they advised and guided me through choices that had been overwhelming me. Those were just some of the incidental – yet important areas of the process in which their expertise proved so very helpful. From there, my confidence and trust continued to increase as I witnessed their excellent Marketing skills and Professionalism whilst still maintaining such a remarkable level of compassion and care. Their positive attitude at all times meant I had none of the stress one expects in selling a home. They knew, so I knew, they would bring about a positive result. And indeed they did. I can’t speak highly enough nor express fully my admiration and appreciation for Lisa and Wayne – from the sourcing and scheduling of some maintenance for the house, to their hosting of Open Homes and the subsequent communication with potential Buyers and with myself – all managed speedily and smoothly; and always they were so positive and cheerful. To anyone thinking of selling their home : you will be amazed and extremely grateful if you choose Team Parfitt . Thank you so much Lisa and Wayne"

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
