It's almost three weeks since I settled. The process has been so torturous I still have to pinch myself about the fact that I actually own this property. From first enquiry, then first offer to settlement has taken six months! This vendor would have to be one of the trickiest the industry has seen. He simply disappeared for days and weeks at a time. There were times when I wanted to walk away. But under all the tension and frustration, there was Trevor, smoothing the way as best he could. He reassured me when he could but never over-promised. He was realistic and patient and supportive. He responded to all my communication promptly and fully and initiated contact when necessary. A property purchase is not a small event and this one was particularly troublesome. I can only thank Trevor for his good humour and his diplomacy (on all sides from what I can gather). He clearly knows the in's and out's of real estate transactions and keeps a level head. In a straight forward transaction, most agents fair well, but this one shows that Trevor's head pops above the crowd. Thank you Mr Manteufel
