Testimonials

The Vevers Family

"Our family has had the great pleasure to deal with Lyall during the sale of our home and the purchase of a replacement home. Lyall was hardworking, approachable, honest and empathetic to our needs. Lyall ensured that the sale of our home was as smooth and unobtrusive as possible to our family. Our home was sold in six days however Lyall worked many hours before, during and after the listing of our home to complete the process. And once the sale of our home was completed, Lyall helped us to find a replacement home without being over bearing or pushy. Lyall guided us towards properties we would never have found ourselves and put us in the best position to commence acquiring a new home. We absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Lyall’s services to others."

Susan Woodhouse

"Just wanted to thank you for the very professional, friendly service you provided to us during our purchase of a property recently. I found you very easy to work with and your style was both friendly, helpful and relaxed but also you followed through with all you said you would do. We both enjoyed the experience of working with you to make the deal happen despite the fact that your client was the vendor. I found you very respectful of both parties which is great in a high pressure situation. Thank you once again for your service."
