Cautious agent gets result

"Towards the end of last year I began to consider the timing of when to downsize​. ​ Following very strong property valuations from three agencies, I decided to put my beautiful home on the market. While all agencies were extremely professional, choosing the agency to manage my sale came down to two or three key factors. First, having known Simon Cookson from whom I original purchased, I felt his professional style could accommodate my intention to be fully involved in the process. His manner was respectful of my efforts to present my home to a high standard, as well as being prepared to listen to my reading of the market based on various sources of data. So, I felt we could work very well together. Simon reported regularly on progress and answered my questions honestly. On price, I felt Simon was pitching somewhat under the market trend at first, not wishing to over promise. The support staff at McDonald Upton managed all the marketing arrangements and processes seamlessly and communication with me was 100% and faultless. ​ ​ As the campaign drew to a close, I felt Simon was doing everything possible to maximise market awareness, to make himself available to answer queries as they arose, as well as to gauge the quality of the matches of ​the needs of ​those interested in the property and what the prop​​​​e​rty has to offer​. We were on the same page by auction day about the realistic pricing to expect and we were both clear about the process we would follow. The auction ran smoothly and the outcome was excellent for all parties concerned. These decisions are so important. Thank you for all your assistance.​"​
