Before purchasing my home unit I read Andrew Trim’s book Real Estate Dangers and How to Avoid Them. It was my great relief that the agent handling the sale was the very decent and professional Tim Muckenschnabl. Tim worked very hard for his client, determined to get for her the very best sale. But by the same token when he realised that I was serious about purchasing the unit he seemed keen for me to make the purchase in spite of the fact there were others interested and that the unit was to go to auction in a few days. Trim’s book had told me to make the offer that I thought was fair and not to offer a ridiculously low figure. I did that and Tim squeezed a bit more out of me, which I would rather he hadn’t as that now prevents me from fixing up the bathroom. But it worked. I got the unit, his client got the sale and Tim got the commission. A satisfactory result all round. So.... if I had to sell my unit in the future would I ask Tim to handle the sale? Absolutely!
