AN AGENT FOR ONE HOUSE BECOMES A LIFE-LONG COMMITMENT
After our beautiful Mum died, the legacy of her life, and Dad's hard work before, was our family home. It was hard to pack it up, deal with the memories. Even harder to think about selling it, even though we knew that was what we had to do.
Mum and Dad were "old School" - they never wasted a cent. So every day our house was empty, that was wasted Rates and Insurance, and money that could have been earning interest in our bank accounts, that was what they would have thought.
My wife went to a HUGE amount of trouble to select a Real Estate Agent. She attended about 100 Open for Inspections and Auctions. Two reasons; to get a good feel for what the local market was capable of and mainly, to experience first hand, how agents treated her and their style in selling. This searched narrowed the list to a few - all were very good, very professional. A hard choice. We interviewed the Short List, twice.
Something in our hearts told us Rob Groeneveld and Philip Webb were a stand out.
Time has proven how correct our 'gut instinct' was.
Rob and Philip Webb handled every step of the process as if it was almost effortless for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We opted for an auction. When it came close, down to the last week, we thought we would have had a decent Offer or two. Nothing - nothing that we knew of. Then one Monday evening, Rob rang and said he had a signed Unconditional contract with a ten per cent deposit cheque for an amount that exceeded our wildest dreams, in front of him. An hour later, another call. No - nothing was wrong, Rob actually had another Unconditional Contract with an even larger ten per cent cheque!!
Since then, Rob and Philip Webb have sold a small house we had as a rental in a distant suburb. We didn't even have to visit. . We've recommended a few friends with City Apartments - all are very happy.
The conclusion => obvious => our commitment to Rob Groeneveld and Philip Webb is now life-long. We will NEVER engage anyone else.
