From our first meeting with you to discuss the sale of our much loved home, your professionalism and enthusiasm for the marketing campaign was apparent. Your knowledge of the local area, and the skills you brought to achieve such a successful outcome on auction day, were exceptional. Weekly reports received from the open homes, as well as updates from private viewings meant we were always 'kept in the frame'. Your understanding and courteous attitude towards our personal requirements were second-to-none, and were very much appreciated. Thank you both for your efforts in achieving such a successful outcome."
