Despite Jake and his partner only weeks from the birth of his first daughter Polly, Jake couldn’t have been more attentive to the challenge of selling our house. His estimate of the value was spot on, he gave liberally of his time and kept us informed of progress and issues. Just before the house went to auction his last words to me were “You’ve done your job (inspections etc), now I’ll do mine” - he certainly did. The auction price was competitive even in Canberra’s uncertain market. Both Sue and I were very nervous but he continued to reassure us with his confident demeanour.
