Knowledgeable and Insightful

Stephen was a personal recommendation. The recommendation proved to very well founded. His professionalism and manner made the entire experience very straightforward. Setting up the service agreement and marketing arrangements was very straightforward. Advice on presentation and preparation for inspection nicely balanced achieving an appealing appearance with only necessary outlays. His observations on changing conditions were clear and reliable. He regularly reported on progress and levels of interest while keeping me informed of variables in the market that might affect the outcome. Auction day was well managed with clear communication and an honest assessment of possible outcomes. On the few occasions when Stephen was not available, I was given advance notice and supported by very competent staff.
