I write to express my gratitude and admiration for the service provided by you and your Team to facilitate the sale of our investment property situated at 6/202 Jersey Road, Woollahra. Whilst I have known you through business for many years I have not previously had occasion to appoint you to manage the sale of a property. On this particular occasion we interviewed a number of agents including some who claimed to be more experienced in this particular area. However, after careful consideration we decided to appoint you in the belief that you would provide the highest level of professionalism, service and outcome. Might I say that not only were we never disappointed but constantly you and your Team exceeded our every expectation. I won't bother you with the details but in every respect, from start to finish, from small issues to big issues, you anticipated, you were proactive and you got the result.
Thank you once again and please pass on our appreciation to members of your Team. Knowing full well of your expert follow-up and networking I am sure we will hear from you on a regular basis, but in any event you will certainly be the first person we will turn to on the next occasion. Read More
James McCowan and his team worked tirelessly to sell my Paddington terrace recently and I am delighted with the result and the process. James contacted me on a daily basis, supporting and guiding me but never pushing me into unwanted or hasty decisions. His professional yet personable approach is unique, I felt as though I was dealing with a knowledgeable old friend. When my father suddenly became ill and died during the campaign, James took control of the situation, offering to feed animals and open the house - leaving me to spend that precious time with my Dad. This is truly going above and beyond the call of duty.
If you want the best, I highly recommend James and his team to everyone selling their property - you will not be disappointed. Thank you James Read More
