Happy vendors - 2 beddie gets $125 K more than 3 beddie in road
“My sister and I recently had to sell our family home, it was a hugely personal and emotional experience for us both.
Our first hurdle was to clean and clear the property so we could present it to its full potential. What a massive job that was, where do you start!!!
Team Parfitt were introduced to us, and we had no hesitation in bringing them on board to do the really hard stuff, market and sell our home full of memories.
Lisa and Wayne really looked after us like we were all family, we got to know them really well and it was always a pleasure to chat.
When it came to Auction time, we met up the night before to set our reserve and Wayne even went as far as to say that if we didn’t achieve our target, he would eat his shoes…
On Auction day he looked very sharp in his suit and I did check out his shoes – definitely non edible.
Of course, with such lovely people and being totally dedicated to our success we achieved a result of over $200K above our expectations, needless to say Wayne’s shoes were safe.
Lisa and Wayne, you worked so harmoniously together and made our experience seamless.
Thank you so much, you helped us to make our mum proud, she would be very happy as are we.”
