Buyer's review

almost 6 years ago

Moira was a pleasure to buy from - thank you!

As buyers who had been looking for over a year, we have come across almost every agent at every agency within a radius of 10kms. Moira stood out for us - she was a pleasure to work with - genuine, helpful, responsive and willing to engage in a dialogue to get to the right outcome. Though there was no doubt that she was doing the right thing by her client, she was able to bridge the gap between us and the vendor in a pragmatic and professional way to get to the right outcome. Thanks again for all your help Moira - we are happily installed in our new home which wouldn't have happened without you!
