Ant Manton was an unknown quantity to me. I had heard glowing reports and read some as well. Over the time of our relationship to date he has lived up to these meaningful and heartfelt expressions of his professionalism and character. Importantly, Ant clearly has his thumb on the property landscape here in Hobart and no doubt elsewhere in Tasmania. This was strengthened by an underlying and sharp appreciation of the real estate market generally, contrasting bank interest rates and the potential volatility of an impending National election. Upon first meeting Ant, he was far from reserved and very interested in what our circumstances were, and to settle on a place where he could facilitate for us an easy and well considered passage to a sale. A great sense of humour enhanced Ant's commitment and approach to achieving the right outcome for us. He was always available, had the right information that was required and, if not (which was rare), sought it out. In relation to our property, and a high point of what I believe was was a mark of his team's (Zac) professionalism, I was so impressed with the weekly diary/graphics of contacts made, possibilities or otherwise of a sale, and his follow up strategies. Significantly, the important thing about Ant is that he took the time to listen, observe, analyse and provide sensible advice ... and an OUTCOME!
