Date: 17/05/2016 Re: 26/95A Ridge St, North Sydney NSW 2960 This testimonial is for our agent Chris Girling who works tirelessly and above and beyond his duty in trying to achieve the best result in selling our family home for about 23 years. It's easy to sell a property when the real estate is booming, all you need is a couple of interested parties in an auction and in most cases you can secure an above expectation price. However, in the current market where the whole sentiment is flat and there is a fair bit of uncertainty globally and nationally, it can be a very challenging market to sell. A good agent usually stand out in this sort of situation in which they have to talk more to the potential buyers and fill them with loads of information and convince the buyer to take action as lots of buyers in this current market can be very passive and take on a wait and see approach or with the mentality of maybe I can wait till auction and pick up a bargain. In the end, Chris helped me and my family achieved a great result under what I believe is a tough market. My parents were sad to say goodbye to our family home but happy to move on to the next chapter in their life. We want to say a big thank you to Chris for informing us with every little steps along the way, and working tirelessly to communicate with all potential buyers before helping us to secure a buyer. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone out there who wants to sell their property. So if you want a hard-working, honest agent who will guide you from the beginning to make the whole process smooth and easy, communicate with you along the way and doing his absolute best in securing a best price for your treasured home, then Chris is the person to do that. Thank you Chris for all your hard-work. All the best in 2016 and in all the years to come. With regards, William Huang (and the entire Huang family)

"You get out of life what you put in do you?" was something Anthony once mentioned to me after a follow up call at 9pm one weeknight evening. I had commented on the tough hours he worked. We first came across Anthony after he sold a neighbors home in Cammeray achieving an incredible result. When the time came to place our investment property on the market he was one of the first calls I made and I quickly became the last. Anthony immediately instills confidence and trust, with a terrific local market knowledge and buyer network. From long before we formally engaged him or LJ Hooker he made time to work through our questions, concerns and strategy for sale. Over the course of our campaign he and his team were always professional and available for anything we our our prospective buyers needed. What really struck me however were the in depth discussions he had with prospective buyers, understanding their circumstances and needs, and marketing our property. This was the difference, and I could see that the confidence he instilled in us, was the same confidence and trust our buyers were met with. At Auction we achieved in excess of what we had hoped in no small part due to Anthony's efforts and that of his team throughout his campaign. I have zero hesitation in recommending Anthony to anyone looking to sell their property. .

Anthony provided my husband and I with a great level of service, always happy to answer any questions and nothing was ever to much of an ask. Anthony was friendly and approachable and really helped me go through the whole process especially in my husbands absence.

Selling your home is never an easy proposition. However, from our first meeting to our successful auction, Anthony's sound advice and steady guidance through the entire process made the experience less stressful and more successful than we had expected or hoped. During what is a state of flux, his knowledge of the local market is second to none, his communications skills are excellent - and we would be more than happy to recommend him to other potential vendors.

Colin has a genuine interest in, and an astute knowledge of the property market. He is intelligent and perceptive, and related to us as vendors with a respectful, but easy style. He is tactful and polite,and has a relaxed chatty manner. When I had occasion to inspect other properties he sold, his excellent communication skills with prospective buyers, were also very evident. In the lead up to the sale, he provided excellent recommendations/advice regarding stylist/tradespeople to present our home to the best advantage. He kept us informed frankly and with honesty, during the inspection period leading up to auction day. Colin is an excellent negotiator. He acted in our best interests, to achieve the best possible price for our home. We recommend him very highly!

Colin was our agent for two properties in recent months. We were delighted with the outcomes for both. The second property was a unit and we wanted to capitalise on its location. Colin targeted the right audience with quality messaging and presentation. It was priced correctly and was sold within 24 hours. Colin and his team were completely professional and managed the process to completion. Congratulations again.

Chris recently sold our apartment in Cammeray. This was the first time we had sold a property and we met with multiple agents before meeting Chris. Within 10 minutes of sitting down with Chris, my wife and I knew he was the right agent for us. Throughout the entire sale process Chris kept us in the loop as to where he was at and what his plan of attack was. When we got a little anxious, Chris kept us calm and took us through the entire process, phoning/emailing daily giving us updates as to where he was at. We thoroughly recommend Chris for anyone looking for an agent in the lower north shore. Regards Simon & Lauren Kotz

Chris communicated with us clearly throughout the sale process and always met our expectations. Despite being based in WA, Chris kept us informed during the marketing campaign and took care of all the little details at the property. We ould not be happier with the service provided by Chris.

Chris delivered everything we wanted from an agent. He was genuine, knowledgeable, proactive and extremely hard working. He willingly gave his expertise on all aspects of the process (from marketing to negotiation) and made the many stages of the sale process as smooth as possible. Chris kept us informed of all important developments in a straight forward way, ensuring our expectations were accurate without ever pushing us to make a decision. We selected Chris because he came highly recommended by friends and we would not hesitate to recommend him. Above all he was a pleasure to deal with.

Anthony Cowie handled the recent sale of our home and we were so pleased with the result (great price) but also with all our dealings with him. Anthony embodies the values that are important to us - honesty, high ethical standards, enthusiasm, dedicated and hard working. He is a great communicator with an open and friendly manner. We already knew of how he had ‘gone the extra mile’ in a negotiation for another sale in our suburb, so when it came time for us to select an agent, the choice was simple. Selling a home is usually spoken of as a stressful experience, but from the moment we decided to go with Anthony, we found the process surprisingly almost stressless. His market knowledge was obvious and as he guided us through the campaign, we felt comfortable putting our trust in him. He made certain the sale was transparent for all parties. We have no hesitation in recommending Anthony. He is a man of integrity and a lovely person as well.

Colin was fantastic. He sold my house for a fantastic price within approx 10 days of it going to market. He kept informed every step of the process, and ensured I had complete ownership of all decisions along the way. He has an easy manner about him which buyers (and sellers) warm to. His industry and local knowledge is excellent, as are his negotiation skills. I had the benefit of seeing Colin in action when he was attempting (successfully) to close my sale - he works extremely hard for the seller, but remains honest and upfront. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone contemplating selling their home. Colin did everything I had hoped a good agent would do (and more).
