Testimonials
We have purchased and sold a house recently using Vaughan & John. They work as a team, and nothing is too difficult. They kept us informed, were respectful and understood the stresses of buying and selling a home. They got us an excellent price for the property, and were very accurate in their assessment of the property's worth. They took the time to listen to us as clients, to the extent that they even bought us a flamingo for the new pool! We are happy to recommend them highly - you'd be hard pushed to find a better team!- Graham and Lisa
Vaughan Wilson and John Holmes are excellent communicators. They are very professional, they act with integrity, and they have great market knowledge. We highly recommend enlisting their services and look forward to working with them again.- John and Ana Van Der Linden
Would highly recommend working with Vaughan and John. Extremely professional throughout the whole process. Really helpful and available anytime I had questions. Follow up was quick and they would go out of his way which made the process as easy as possible and less stressful.- Lynda
Good explanation of the various sales options, and once that was decided Vaughan and John were a great help on how best to present the property. When the selling was underway we had constant feedback after every open home or private viewing and once a possible deal was on the table negotiation was straightforward. A good experience- Max and Vicki
