Dear John,

Firstly let me start by saying, We have brought and sold properties in the past, and have been let down by over promising and under delivering on every occasion until now.

I am writing to express our sincerest gratitude to Elli James for the effort that went into the sale of our home 60 Castle Circuit Umina Beach.

Elli and the team at Richardson and Wrench Umina Beach have exceeded our expectations in every way. Elli continuously provided feedback throughout the whole process so we knew exactly where we stood.

Ultimately you employ an agent for their marketing and negotiation skills. Elli carried out strategic marketing activities to ensure the highest level of enquiry was received, and she demonstrated exemplary negotiation resulting in a fantastic price for our property. We couldn’t be happier.

We would be thrilled to recommend Elli James and the team from Richardson and Wrench Umina Beach to anyone who is considering buying, selling or renting their home.

Your business has a valuable asset in Elli, Thank you for employing such a genuine customer focused team.
Regards
Rachel Potter
We really appreciated the service that Rachel provided in our recent purchase of a property in Umina Beach. Her diligence, friendliness and professionalism, plus her help in steering us through the whole process and her willingness to 'go the extra mile' in responding to the several queries that we had helped make the whole purchase transaction a lot less stressful than we had anticipated. Many thanks Rachel!

Rachel’s commitment to achieving the result we were looking for was outstanding, she is such a dedicated professional and the end result reflects her ability to relate with a wide range of clients. Happy with both the new property and sale, we would recommend Rachel to anyone who wants to deal with an agent who communicates honestly and goes above and beyond.

Grahame was the ideal agent for us in selling the long-held family home. He was sensitive, diligent and reliable. He gave well considered advice and didn't engage in hype or building unrealistic expectations. The auction occurred under COVID restrictions and Grahame managed this extremely well. The house sold for a price well above our reserve which was a brilliant outcome and a credit both to Grahame and the auctioneer. Even after the sale he assisted us, going above and beyond. We couldn’t recommend Grahame enough! Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and so helpful to us (as complete novices). We especially appreciated Grahame’s communication with us to keep us fully updated and generally just going above and beyond throughout the process

John is an excellent agent, very willing to answer any questions and offer solid professional advice to assist with decision making. His knowledge of the area as well as local experts is extensive and he was very willing to refer us to his networks. He went beyond expectations to allow access to our purchased property post contract, which helped us greatly as we lived in Sydney. This saved us time and travel. We highly recommend John as your agent for buying or selling property in the Central Coast area.
