Dear Steve,

On behalf of the Smiley family, I would like to express our heart felt thanks for everything you accomplished with the sale of our home. So many hurdles had to be over come and not once did your positive attitude and professional approach waiver. For many years I picked your brain for advice on renovating, investing and selling, you always had time for my questions and that is why we were confident in you handling the sale of our house.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting a great result when selling their house.

Kindest regards,

Vanessa, Shaun and Ruby

This is the second time we employed Steve from Place to sell a property of ours. We’ve employed Steve as he was outstanding the first time.
We found Steve to be very informative through the whole selling process, contacting us on a regular basis to communicate with us on the progress of the sale, I’d call Steve late in the evening & early in the morning & found he was always happy to discuss how things were progressing.
The marketing campaign was targeted & worked to achieve an outstanding result & a selling price we were delighted with.
We would have no hesitation in employing  Steve again & would happily recommend him to our Family & Friends.

To Whom it may concern,

An Astonishing Result!

Steve's effort and skill was amazing, true to his word.

Steve told us a story of how he had sold another property.  The owners were happy to sell and accept the price he had at the time, yet he told them there was more money left in the buyer and to wait.

Well, low and behold the same situation happened to us.  An offer from his database of buyers came through in two days of us listing the property.  Steve told us to wait, as there was an open house scheduled for that Saturday and three parties he knew of attending.  This gave us leverage to increase the offer by even more.

Without doubt Steve became a part of our profits, not our expenses.

The only agent we would use and recommend.

Regards,

John and Sue Maroney

To Whom it may Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I can provide a reference for the services provided by Place and in particular the services of Narelle Lorensen with regards to the sale of my property in Nundah.

My wife and I started looking for an agent to represent us in April with the hope that we could list our house in early May.  After meeting with several rival agencies we found that the agents were more concerned with their past work than actually discussing our property and how we should go about selling it (key points, price variances, current market trends etc).

At this stage we had not met with Narelle and we were feeling a little disconsolate about the sale of our house.  After many discussions and now entering May we thought we would try Place.

From the minute Narelle arrived I felt comfortable.  Narelle was confident, professional and interested in one main objective, providing a service that allowed us to achieve a timely and effective outcome. As a potential client I was happy with Narelle's ability to consult with me on what I was hoping to achieve, what the market was suggesting and a plan as to how we could achieve the outcome.

After a quick discussion with my partner I contacted Narelle to accept her invitation to sell our property in an exclusive manner.  Within a week we had our house on a stunningly presented board, other advertising components and Narelle had organised a house open at short notice.

We sold our house in 2 weeks for a price that was 2.5% higher than we were hoping for.

Narelle has followed our property right through to settlement with regular contact to make sure things have run smoothly and that we were happy.

As a person who has sold property in the past and has properties that I lease, I have never come across a company OR agent that has provided the high level of service and support as I have received though Place and Narelle.

I would recommend Narelle Lorensen and the team at Place well before discussing any other real estate agent.

Thank you once again and I look forward to future dealings.

Dear Narelle

Two years ago I contacted you regarding the proposed sale of my property and asked for your advice regarding a number of matters.  However, because of a number of circumstances over which I had no control, the property was unable to be sold until recently but during the interim you periodically visited the property, collected and removed any 'junk mail' and kept me advised.

The property was eventually listed for sale on 27 May and I was delighted to hear from you 3 days later with the news that you had sold the property.  I want to thank you sincerely for your integrity and expertise, both professionally and personally, and would recommed to any future sellers they contact you with the utmost confidence that they will be well cared for from the first contact until finality.

My sincere thanks and appreciation for your patience and assistance.

Your faithfully,

Ray Smith

Re:  Narelle Lorensen

We engaged Narelle Lorensen to sell our house recently and we have been very happy with the fantastic service that we received from her.

After securing a contract for us a fortnight after being on the market we were ecstatic. Unfortunately the finance of the buyer fell through and it wasn't meant to be.  Narelle quickly went in to action mode and restored our confidence by finding us another buyer the very next week.  I'm happy to say that this sale has now gone through and our home has been sold for the price we were after.

We have found Narelle to be warm and friendly yet profesional and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

Many thanks to you Narelle and best wishes for your future success.

Dear Michael,

I wanted to thank you in writing for all of your efforts in selling mum's place.

From the moment you saw it ( which is about 16 months ago now) you gave me great and honest advice as to how it could be improved for sale. I did what you suggested and I am so pleased.

I always knew what a great house it was and your suggestions made it better. Sometimes when you are dealing with a family home that has so many memories you tend to loose a bit of focus, so thank you for keeping us focused.

Thank you also for your commitment to getting us the right buyer. I did not expect that the house would be on the market for such a short time before a contract was received. Naturally I was delighted that you achieved a price higher than was anticipated.

As much as I like dealing with you (I realize that you have now sold two properties for me in the last 8 months) I hope to stay in my new little place for a while. Rest assured when it comes time to sell it, David and I will be giving you a call.

Dear Michael,

I wanted to write and thank you for everything that you did to successfully sell our Nundah property.

As an interstate vendor, we were grateful for the practical advice and assistance on everything from how to best present and market the house, to the more mundane concerns of lawn mowing and house cleaning. Not having lived in Brisbane for several years, we had few contacts and found it difficult to organise reliable services. Your contacts and knowledge were invaluable.

It was very obvious throughout the sales process that you’re dedicated to doing your job well, that your communication skills are second to none and that you have high ethical standards.

Please also pass on my thanks to administrative team at Place, particularly Melissa Borgna. All the transactions that were processed through your agency proceeded smoothly and efficiently.
