Purchasing a property with a true Professional
I had been looking for over two years for a property, like a lot of buyers had been very dis-heartened by a number of agents, guiding a price and seeing the property sell for well over the original guide. I then would see an agency listing and felt what they were guiding was to get numbers through the door knowing that they and the vendors had much higher expectations. I even experienced an agent calling my Solicitor as they wanted to try and sell the property over the phone, and were pushing to see if there were any changes to the Contract, I felt this completely un-professional. Through my search I had some communication with Ben Fraser, he never hounded me or tried to push me into something I was not comfortable with, this gave me a sense of trust. I saw the apartment I bought on the market, being in The Moreton in Bondi. The property was listed with McGrath Double bay and the agents were Ben Fraser and James Ledgerwood, I loved the apartment and at that stage was very happy with the guiding price, however knowing it would probably sell for more, requested a Contract and bought the Strata Report. Ben having sold a number of apartments in The Moreton was able to give me an honest appraisal of the complex, the area and the apartment. I made an offer and felt that Ben and James managed the expectations of both the vendor and myself in an honest manner. Hence I am thrilled to say I bought the apartment. The process was seamless with full transparency for both parties. I hope never to have to sell but if I do there would be no hesitation in whom I would engage to sell it for me. I have bought and sold property in the Eastern Suburbs over the last forty years and have never had such a Professional and honest experience like I have had with Ben Fraser. His kind manner coupled with a high knowledge of the area gave me no doubt that I was doing the right thing. Thank you Ben for a truely wonderful experience and minimising the stress levels. Thank you
