Thankyou all for all the hard work you guys did on mums campaign. You did a perfect job of presenting the property - the advertising was very fair and the photos were amazing. Anyway, we are very grateful and thankyou again, Yours sincerely, Karen Gurr & Valda Rigg

Tony’s knowledge of the local area was extensive. He answered all of our questions professionally and we felt we could trust him with the sale of our property soon after meeting him. Our property needed some cosmetic work before it went on the market and Tony’s advice on what to do was invaluable. Our house sold after two weeks and we are extremely happy with the price and Tony’s service and friendly professionalism. 10/10. Thanks Tony!

Over the years my wife and I have dealt with quite a few agents so we got a pretty good handle on what makes a good agent or not. Tony has a calm demeanour, very patient, very empathetic but very professional. He worked hard and got the result we were more than happy with. Thanks Tony.
