Simon gave us great confidence when listing out property. Simon spent time with us to understand what our motivations, concerns and property desires were and did not rush us to make any decisions. Simon returned and gave us a clear overview of the market and shared his strategy and rationale. As vendors who were not thrilled at the idea of listing but knew we needed a new place to call home we felt at ease and completely trusted Simon. Simon had a short but impactful tender period and drew in a lot of interest. He received numerous offers and we accepted one - due to things out of any of our control that did not proceed. Simon was around immediately with a plan to contact all others who had contacted while under offer and having already received verbal intent to re-present from those that had previously offered. Simon swiftly arranged another open home and private viewing and a week on from losing our buyer we were under offer. Days later we were unconditional. We can't imagine having such a successful ending to this story with any other agent and will be forever grateful to Simon. We sing his praises to everyone and is testimony to the immeasurable value of experience. Thank you Simon!

Simon was incredibly helpful from my first approach when I was considering what work to do on the house before listing. His advice was incredibly helpful in ensuring that I focused my efforts on the best priorities. During the sale process Simons advice and assistance was beyond what I could have hoped for, especially during the current financial and market climate His knowledge, advice and expertise helped to gain the best deal possible both for me and I believe the purchasers also. I can not recommend Simon highly enough, his integrity, knowledge and hard work are are beyond question. Thank you Simon!

Simon achieved phenomenal exposure for our property, resulting in finding the right buyer for a property that wouldnt have universal appeal. He gave us good advice in presenting the property, which I feel was a key factor in attracting potential buyers; communicated well; and reported promptly with updates of the marketing process so we always knew what was happening.
