Thank you Richard for negotiating and bringing over the line the purchase of Barkly str. for me. Circumstances for the parties involved made it a delicate and difficult negotiation but with your skill and careful approach, you made it happen keeping both sides happy. Looking forward to give you the finished product to sell once the development is completed.

I have been in the real estate profession since 1959, first as an Estate Agent and as a developer and investor since 1964. During the years I have been in this profession, I have met and dealt with a vey considerable number of Estate Agents, some good, some mediocre, some downright dishonest and some legendary such as Mr. Frank Sheehan, Mr. Thorpe (Corbett), Mr Carmichel, Mr. Dick Getty (Thompson), Mr. Howard Kelly, Mr. Sowersby etc. etc. I was honoured and privileged to have enjoyed their trust, confidence and faith in me. Mr. Richard Rose reminds me very much of those gentlemen and, in all the dealings I have had with him, he has had my full trust and confidence which was always justified by his actions and professionalism. Having regard to the above, I can unequivocally affirm that in all my and my Compnies' dealings with him, I have had the same privilege I had with the abovementioned legendary gentlemen. I wish Richard and Jellis Craig the very best in future and I have no hesitation in recommending him and Jellis Craig to any one in need of Estate Agency services in the knowledge and belief that laws and by-laws can be legislated to ensure that the profession is and remains honourable and decent as it was when I started, however, at the end of the day, it can only remain so as a result of members such as Mr. Richard Rose and organisations such as Jellis Craig being part of it.
