OUR CLIENTS ARE TALKING

From our first interaction, Ryan Chapman was very good and gave us all the facts about the property, he did not try to oversell the property. He also kept us on the loop on any major or minor developments regarding the transaction. He was professional throughout - he made our property purchase to be a rather easy and enjoyable experience. I will definitely recommend omend your agency based on Ryan's conduct.

Dear Mr Meijer I'm about to tell you something that you probably know already about someone that you know very well - Catherine Lamb. The entire time I had dealings with her was a red-letter experience for me because of her personal attention and impeccably professional behavior. The time was not without its difficulties and delays through the behavior of all the parties concerned, including myself, but she remained cool and professionally competent, and impartial throughout it all. You have in her a gem of a human being and she has proven herself to me as a dedicated and very competent estate agent. She is an exceptional human being. I think that she will go far in her chosen profession and you can be proud to have her on your team. Sincerely Marita Neethling
