"We are very pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Glen and Mel Tomes who recently managed the successful sale of our home at 199 Carter Road, Oratia. Early this year, in preparation for selling our property, we interviewed seven real estate agents from four local companies. We were impressed by each of the presentations. Glen supported by Mel, however, immediately stood out for us as having the optimal combination of personal and professional qualities we were seeking. They • live locally and therefore have a connection with the community • are experienced in, and have in depth knowledge about, the Oratia real estate market • have made recent sales in this area • showed us a wide range of marketing materials used in previous sales - these were well written, included excellent photography, indicated attention to detail, and were impeccably produced • were able to describe the preferred marketing campaign and auction process in such a way that it allayed any concerns we had • lead a highly successful marketing and sales campaign - the Open Homes were very well attended and certainly attracted potential buyers • were at all times professional, proactive, and transparent in their communications with us • followed through with integrity • were consistently positive, calm and good humoured We were delighted to sell our property by auction at a premium price on Sunday 4 September. Without a doubt, we recommend Glen and Mel as exemplary realtors. Yon & Clive - 199 Carter Road, ORATIA"

"When we asked Glen to appraise our home at 580 West Coast Road 2 years ago we were very impressed with his open manner and excellent knowledge of the Oratia market despite the fact he was new to the real estate business. From time to time he sent us information on relevant sales in the area but never badgered us. So when we decided to sell recently we had no hesitation in calling him. Working with Mel and Glen gave us supreme confidence that our sale would be executed without fuss. We were not disappointed, indeed they impressed us hugely with their organisation, honest communication and faultless follow-up. The marketing was superb and the LJ Hooker agents were respectful and friendly.

The adage if you want something done, give it to a busy person, comes to mind...they are very busy people and we wish them well. John & Cherie Fletcher - 580 West Coast Road, ORATIA"
