Testimonials

Ruth Carpenter

"Kevin and I have worked with Carolyn and Markus in the recent purchase of our second wedding venue, Gracehill Vineyard Estate. We first met them when looking at another property which we decided not to proceed with, and when Gracehill came on the market they contacted us as they had identified it as something we might be interested in. Carolyn and Markus took the time to get to know us and our business plans, and how the purchase might fit. They guided us through the ins and outs of the tender process, and throughout the process answered our many questions along with providing good advice, which ultimately lead to us securing the purchase of the property, and establishing the foundations of a good working relationship with the vendor. We would be very happy to work with Carolyn and Markus again, knowing that they understand our business and the hospitality industry.
