Initially we selected & interviewed 3 of the most popular real estate agencies in the Niddrie area. Our analysis/criteria included the following: 1. Price range 2. Commission 3. Advertising 4. No. of sales of similar properties in Niddrie above $1 million in the last year 5. Best sale in Niddrie area. Against this criteria Barry Plant rated first against 4 of the 5 criteria. Against the criteria - No. of sales of similar properties ... Barry Plant had sold 11 properties; the next agent 4 & the last agent 2. On the basis of this analysis we choose Barry Plant to sell our property. Tony Catena ably assisted by Stephanie Radman were engaged to sell our property. Tony's qualities are honesty, integrity & professionalism. He displayed these qualities in an exemplary manner. Throughout the campaign he communicated with us regularly identifying 6 people were interested in the property; 5 of whom bid at the auction. On auction day he performed in an exemplary way. It was a difficult auction - slow to start with chaotic bidding throughout the auction. While most auction's are structured - $25,000, then $10,000, then $5,000, then $1,000 bids. At our auction Tony was willing to take any bids in any order. So we had some people bidding $10,000; some bidding $5,000; some bidding $1,000; some bidding $500 at various times throughout the auction. The result $115,000 above the reserve price. The best price achieved in the street so far. We were over the moon with the result. We were extremely happy with Tony's & Stephanie's assistance & performance throughout the campaign. Tony, Stephanie & Barry Plant come with our highest recommendation. Ron & Moira.
