Josie and Frank were both very courteous and helpful, steering and supporting me through a stressful time. They both managed Open house very well and always gave me prompt and helpful feedback. I was very grateful of the sale that they have executed and will always recommend them.

Gavin Johnston was a breath of fresh air as an agent after we had met many on the hunt for a new apartment. He was welcoming and helpful and gave us all relevant information without asking and then was able to answer any further questions quickly and professionally. He was really lovely to work with during the purchase and getting access to the apartment after purchase to measure up.

Gavin is always friendly and enthusiastic. We were always happy to see him. He pointed us in the right direction without being pushy. And in the end he managed to get 3 serious bidders for our property in a time when auctions often struggle to get any bidders at all.
