"This is the fourth property we have sold, with Col McIntyre as our sales agent. The reason we keep going back is because he makes the stressful action of buying and selling houses easy. He has a great personality, he cares and he is honest.. This man has the Midas touch.. Thanks Col, Kim and the team". Neil & Dianne Friend for Col McIntyre - Sales Agent
"Thank you for all your hard work in selling my home and for being so kind and coping with my anxious times. You made it a lot easier for me to cope with". C Hardy & N Berry for Peter Campbell-Wood - Sales Agent
"Colin was great throughout the whole process. He was so helpful while we were looking and once we found this property he was by our side every step of the way. He kept us in the loop throughout it all and was honest and caring when we were negotiating. I honestly believe we wouldn't have secured the property if another real estate agent was selling. Once the sellers accepted our offer Kim took over the administration side of things. Kim communicated with us, was clear and helpful and accommodating when we wanted to go through the property again. Thank you Colin and Kim, you helped us buy our first family home without the hassle and stress". M Bartholomeusz & S Thornthwaite for Col McIntyre and Kim Kelly - Sales Agents
"It's been a pleasure dealing with Colin & the team from Ray White Tuggeranong and we would certainly recommend them to anyone" A & A Baker for Col McIntyre and Kim Kelly - Sales Agents
"Annette Petrovic was my most recent Property Manager and I would like to thank her for all of her help over the last couple of years. Her professionalism and conduct was outstanding to both the tenants who leased the property and myself as the lessee" P Plicher for Annette Petrovic - Property Manager. |
