236 Lyons Road Drummoyne

Hello Glenda,

In my profession as a town planner I deal with a number of real estate agents and I have come across a number of agents that do not give your industry a great name.  However it was a pleasant surprise to deal with yourself and the Burridge team when selling our unit.  I would like to say that it was a great approach by Burridge First National to ensure that all sales people within your organisation has a full understanding of our unit and when you were not available there was always some one that could help us.  It was great to be able to speak to different people within the Burridge team full well knowing that they were up to date on the proceedings of the sale of our unit.  As you did say, it was a team approach and I can well understand why you have a lot of faith in your team.  There are a number of people within your team and I would like to thank all of them, however I would like to particularly thank yourself and Jim and Elaine.

We also appreciated your assistance in buying a property through Burridge as there were a number of tense moments at settlement due to circumstances outside the control of yourself and ours.  Jim did provide valuable guidance.

Finally, I would like to say that a number of people have asked us about Burridge First National and I could not give enough praise to your organisation and I would recommend your agency to anyone this is selling a property in the area.

Thankyou again and to all of your team and we both look forward to doing business with you in the future.

L & N Roberts.




10/25 Collingwood Street Drummoyne

Dear Jim,

We would like to thank you very much for the efficiency and service you rendered us whilst handling the sale of our unit.  Step by step you advised us of the progress you were making and the short time in which you were able to secure a buyer.

These days we find service rather lacking and your performance in this direction was outstanding.

Yours sincerely,

Jean Baily and Trevor Scott

Dear Joseph

Joseph has been a shining example of a Real Estate Agent who will go the extra mile to help you in all ways possible.

In the sale of my property in Udall Avenue Five Dock, he has conducted himself at all times in a very professional and courteous manner.

Joseph is obviously a real people person and therefore is in an excellent position to perform the role that he performs.

Joseph co-ordinated a team of collegues in the sale of my property and I was thoroughly impressed with the result.

I would recommend Joseph highly to any future vendor.

Please contact me for a personal, verbal testimonial as to his skills.

3/5 Blackwall Point Road Chiswick

Dear Burridge,

Many thanks for your letter of 22nd April 2010 regarding sale of 3/5 Blackwall Point Road Chiswick.  I am truly appreciative of the manner in which your staff handled this property throughout the period of it being left in your control both during the rental and sale of the property.  In particular, I wish to thank Joseph Mazar for his honesty and highly professional manner in which he handled the sale of the property.  Joe never wavered in this confidence in regard to the sale of the property and price it would fetch in this market.  I have to admit I was not as confident on the question of the price, particulary as the property was saddled with the high maintenance cost.

Once again, I wish to thank you and in particular Joseph, and the rest of your professional staff for your sterling effort and have no hesitation in recommending your agency in either rental or sale of property.

Many thanks

Meyer Mordecai

13 Margaret Street Five Dock

Dear Joseph


With the passing of parents, it is a very stressful time to sell the home that you grew up in over the years, especially when living such a distance from Sydney.

I wish to thank you most sincerely for the professional way in which you handled this sale.  From your advice regarding which advertising would be suitable for this property, advice regarding presentation of the property and your assistance in gaining local help to make this all possible.

It was a comforting feeling to know you were in control of the situation and your weekly reports both by phone and hard copy confirmed our trust in you.

In every way I congratulate you in being “spot on” and therefore gaining my sister and I a good sale.

With thanks, Sincerely.

Michelle Bromwich

Dear Joseph

I am writing to express my gratitude for your splendid efforts in selling my unit.  My husband and I did not expect to sell it before the sales tax deadline, yet it did sell, having been on the market for only one week.  And at a price exceeding our expectations!

I found dealing with you to be pleasant at all times, and I always felt that my property was in good hands.  I was especially grateful that all negotiations could be done over the telephone, and by mail making my life with a three month old baby easier than it could have been.

Thank you and congratulations

Bruce & Marie McDonald

Dear Elaine,

Bruce and I would like to thank you most sincerely for handling the successful sale of our home, in a manner that could only be described as highly professional.

Being newcomers to the Drummoyne area we decided our only option was to interview a number of agents and ascertain to the best of our ability the one who would provide us with an honest appraisal of the local market and what we could realistically expect to achieve on the sale of our property, this you did and coupled with what seemed to Bruce and I, a genuine enthusiasm for the task at hand and a most pleasant manner, you were our choice Elaine we were not disappointed you worked so hard, keeping is at all times in the loop, both by telephone and a weekly update in the mail.

Thanks to you, the project was successfully concluded at auction with a sale price beyond our expectations.

Thank you most sincerely


Bruce and Marie McDonald

Thank you for your assistance in the recent sale of the above property on behalf of my Great Aunt.  She was most impressed by the customer service provided by you, including the fact that you listened and understood our requirements when listing  the property for sale.

The result was that you were able to achieve a successful price within two weeks of placing the unit on the market.

We would be happy to recommend you to those people wanting an experienced, professional and proactive sales person.

Yours faithfully

Marion McDonald

To whom it may concern,

Elaine Bowcher comes with my highest recommendation.  I recently listed an apartment in Abbotsford with her and she sold the property within two hours of the first inspection.

I chose to list with Elaine as she demonstrated the personal integrity and honesty I felt home buyers would feel more comfortable with.  She did not come with any of the arrogance other potential agents displayed.  At all times she dealt with my property sale in an honest and efficient manner.

In an uncertain market characterised by falling prices in the area and buyers negotiating heavily, Elaine advised my very well on pricing the apartment to market conditions and appropriate marketing strategies to capitalise on unique features of the property.  I offered Elaine a bonus for a 21 day sale at my target price.  I was delighted to make good on my offer when she called 2 hours after the first open for inspection with a deposit cheque and signed contract.

Regards,


Marion McDonald

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this reference to reflect my satisfaction and appreciation of the sale service I have received from Elaine Bowcher.

My initial contact with Elaine Bowcher was through email only while I was in the process of choosing a selling agent for my unit in Abbotsford.  I selected her because I believed her presentation was realistic compared to the others which I felt were overpriced.  All the sales details were organised with no fuss and after only a few email exchanges.  This reflects Elaine’s excellent communication skills and ability to respond quickly which was essential to me as I am living in Saudi Arabia and there is seven hour time difference.

The unit was sold within a week and at the price I was asking. Elaine was an able negotiator and was willing to take the initiative and acted in my best interests.  It turned out that my tenant was having problems and the situation could have become a problem for me but Elaine was able to handle him sensitively and professionally so that things turned out well for everyone.  I appreciated this very much as it wasn’t strictly within her scope of responsibility.

During the settlement, I was home on a visit and after meeting with Elaine decided to sell the other unit I owned in the same building.  By the time the market had cooled and I knew it would be as easy to sell as the first one.  I was proved right and the environment was difficult for sellers but Elaine managed to find her buyer within my timeframe and I was extremely pleased with the price she negotiated.

I cannot recommend Elaine’s serviced enough! She was highly professional and always available with regular updates and suggestions.  Both occasions were extremely worry and stress free selling experience for me.

Elaine

Elaine,

Just a small token of appreciation for the excellent service you have provided.  We have had dealings with numerous agents in the past 12 months and it is unfortunate that very few have been able to provide the professional service that you have for your clients.

It has been a pleasure dealing with you and we will highly recommend your service to others who may require them.




Robert Terley

Dear Elaine,

I an writing to you to express my gratitude on a job “well done”.  Living in a country where mediocre is the acceptable norm in business, its refreshing to encounter a person who strives for their best and achieves it.  After all your brief was not an easy one, firstly, sell the unit for an absolute top price, secondly do it in a short time frame with minimal interruption.  Both requirements you achieved with tremendous professionalism.  However, what impressed me even further was that you pursued the matter with my best interests in mind, not just the agency you represent.  I wish you all the very best in the future.

Sincerely


Robert Terley.




Dear Elaine

Dear Elaine,

A million thanks for your wonderful work this last month.  You come highly recommended by close friends and we will certainly be following suit to anyone who needs a highly polished professional with a straight forward, genuine and lovely personal style.  Have a great Christmas break, that you deserve.

Please pass on our sincere appreciation to Glenda and the team at Burridge First National

 




The Cameron Family

Dear Glenda,

We are very pleased to extend our appreciation to you all for a most successful auction.

It was indeed a “team effort”, however we would especially thank Joseph Mazar for his very personal attention, unflagging confidence and his reassurance that all would be well on the “night”.

You are all entitled to feel proud of a campaign that yielded such a mutually satisfying result whilst combining friendliness and courtesy.

We thank you sincerely and extend our very best wishes for the next year.

Kindest Regards,

The Cameron Family




Wrights Road

Dear Glenda,

In handling  Wrights Road we were at every point in the journey aware of what was happening through your weekly updates on people who had either visited or had shown some specific interest.  At no point in this stage did we feel that you were operating other than in our interests!  Throughout the marketing programme you knew exactly what you were doing and more importantly where exactly the market was.

When the Auction Day arrived you were in control of those who had taken out contracts and indeed identified the winning bidder which given the excitement of bidding was no mean effort and clearly showed that you were in control of the auction.  When it came to saying “the house was on the market” it was easy as we knew value was being delivered.

I clearly remember your counsel not to accept the bid of $850,000 and given the outcome of $1,055,000 it was “on the money”.  These points simply underscore the confidence that you had built during the process as well as the knowledge of people and buyers.

It only added to our appreciation given that you had recommended and organised the furnishing of the house for “open days”.  Whilst it was not our given taste it did show of well the space attributes of the house
