Testimonials

Niki and Allan Merrett

"Five-star excellence We chose Richard as our agent to sell our home based on our fantastic experience of purchasing a home through him. Upon first meeting him, he came across as being extremely professional, astute, and we were impressed by his experience. We got to know him a lot better as he calmly and expertly guided us through a particularly complex and daunting transaction, taking it one step at a time, and keeping us thoroughly informed throughout. We appreciated his "out of the box" thinking, and his commitment to getting the deals done. We ended up with a super quick sale, enabling us to buy the house of our dreams, and we would absolutely recommend Richard to anyone. Thank you so much Richard :)"

"An Excellent Result We recently marketed our home with Richard and Susie Laery. Despite the market being very flat, particularly in our price range, we were very happy with the sale which was achieved in a reasonable time frame. Richard and Susie are the consummate professionals in their field. They are personable, knowledgeable, approachable and their weekly reports and analysis of the markets was very helpful. They we’re open to suggestions, and we were particularly impressed with Richard’s negotiation skills which came to the fore in the final discussions. We have no hesitation in recommending Richard and Susie to any prospective clients."
