"We found her local market knowledge, experience and honesty refreshing in what is a cut throat industry. Her professionalism, sound ethics and management knowledge helped us to be assured that all the information we were given was timely and correct. Most importantly of all Vanessa made us laugh as she has an open and warm personality. We would have no issue in referring our friends and family to her."
