A few short weeks ago my brothers and I were faced with the daunting task of dealing with the preparation and sale of our late father's property in Wheelers Hill, Victoria. The property included a huge solid brick house, which was very dated and in need of much maintenance, repairs and freshening up. The yard was also in a terrible state of neglect. Marketing this property was going to be a major challenge to realise a respectable sale price. We sought the advice of several, local, real estate agents. That's when we met Bruce from Harcourts Judd White Real Estate in Glen Waverly. Bruce's energy, dedication, motivation and advice was very reassuring. He presented us with solutions for each concern we raised with him. When he became fully aware of our situation, he prepared for us a comprehensive list of works to be carried out and a timetable for the completion of each of stage of the preparation processes. Bruce outlined the marketing strategy and was transparent with commission fees. He left us with no confusion about any aspect of the sale process. At our request, Bruce referred to us, workers, businesses, handypersons, gardeners, cleaners and stylists to carry out virtually all of the work necessary to prepare our property for market. We could hardly recognise the property when the work was completed, the preparation was outstanding. All works were completed on time, as stated on Bruce's timetable. and our property went on to the market on the date specified. Within three weeks of going to market, Bruce's efforts in pursuing customers, not only through open days but also through after hours chasing potential buyers, resulted in a sale prior to auction. Despite the original marketing challenges presented by the nature of the property, the sale price achieved by Bruce exceeded all of our expectations. I have no reservations in recommending Bruce to any prospective vendor.
