Due to a recent tragedy in my family I found myself as an executor of a deceased estate that had a property to sell. To complicate matters I was going overseas for quite a long period and did not have a good knowledge of the property to be sold. In addition there was a backlog in the courts with awarding probate. Luckily I had worked with Jane Garwood from Garwoods for many years. She has been very successful in selling properties for me and has my complete trust. I obtained a key to the property for Jane and arranged for her to have my authority to deal with matters relating to the property. She arranged for the floor to be sanded, the unit repainted, lights replaced, new cooktop installed, total flat styled, new keys to storage room, arranged for a family member to chose furniture from the storeroom, delivered furniture to family member, and donated the remaining furniture to charity. All this time I was away overseas dealing with Jane via WhatsApp. From pictures I could see that the property was looking amazing as we opened up the sales campaign. On the first weekend there were 22 couples through the property with one making an offer over $100,000 above the top end of the range we had agreed initially after a detailed review of the market. I accepted the offer that day. I dont know if this level of service is available via other agents. Obviously I had to pay for the work arranged by Jane but due to my level of trust in her professionalism and character, I never had any doubts as to whether the work on the apartment was required. I totally trusted her judgment. I just couldnt have done it without Janes help and the top price more than covered the extra work done . I couldnt recommend Jane & Garwods more strongly. You will be in wonderful hands.
