Thankyou Lyn Beckwith

August 2nd, 2010

When we decided to place our unit on the market, we were very anxious about getting the right agent to represent us. We had had a bad experience with our last home sale and were given information that was misleading and downright untrue.

Our unit had been a rental property and Gary and Judy Staley of Max Brown Croydon had been our managing agents. They recommended  Lyn to us.

 

We went to our initial appointment sceptical and wary……

 

From the minute we walked in we were made welcome. Lyn looked us directly in the eyes, shook our hands and was very warm. She had really done her homework and showed us properties in similar areas which had recently been sold. She took time to allay our fears, address our questions honestly and openly. She made a commitment to have our property sold in TWO weeks (which I thought was an unlikely event) and promised to keep us informed at every stage.

There was a phone call after each open for inspection, telling us how she thought it had gone.  She was encouraging and positive.

 In LESS than two weeks our unit was sold and for SIGNIFICANTLY more than we had dared hope for.

 Lyn promised to work hard for us, to be honest, to keep us informed and she met and EXCEEDED all of our expectations.

 

 

Thankyou so much, Lyn

When we decided to put our house on the market at the start of April we had the house valued by two independent Agents. The first one being Pauline Barlow, the Branch Manager at Max Brown Mount Evleyn and the other an unamed agent from another local realtor. Whilst both valuations were in the same price range the choice of which agent to go with was made easy. Pauline’s polite manner and follow up after the initial valuation gave us indication that she would work hard for us whilst  not being pushy. On the other hand we felt a little uneasy about the other agent as after the valuation we had no further contact.

Once the choice was made we were at ease in the knowledge that we had made the right choice, Pauline and the other agents from all of the lcoal Max Brown officed worked hard in bringing people through the house all the while keeping us informed with what was happening. Thanks to Pauline and her team, selling our house was a pleasant adventure where we felt we were in safe hands all the way. Sitting back and watching the diligent and professional way that Pauline worked has helped us make the choice to also buy through the same agent.

We would recommend Pauline and her team to anyone that was looking to either sell of buy as you get an honest hard woking team approach and feel totally in control through the whole experience.

Pauline Barlow Testimonial

July 1st, 2010

Dear Pauline

Right from the beginning when we called for a free market appraisal on our home, you impressed us with your efficiency and professionalism. You understood what we were looking for; you were  not pushy and were patient with us.

When we listed out home to be sold, your response was quick, as we are not a very patient people; you made the experience very relaxing and friendly. You kept us informed every step of the way and when we had any concerns you were happy to come and sit with me and explain everthing to us in terms that we could understand.

You worked with us when it came to inspections, and understood the fact that we had children and didn’t want to upset their routine in any way.

We have no hesitations in recommending you to our friends, and have done so, when it comes to selling their home. Thankyou so very much Pauline and all of the Mt Evelyn team, you have made our dreams come true.

Sincerely

Michelle & Rohan Blanche

Dear Lyn

As you know Judy and I had been looking to buy a house for a couple of years and in that process we met dozens of Real Estate Agents. When it came to selling our own house we had no hesitation in asking you to handle the sale because we had always found you to be positive and sensitive to our needs. Our faith in you was certainly justified.

Because our house is a bit unusual you suggested that we auction it after clearly explaining the pros and cons of various methods of sale. We agreed with you and could not have been happier with the result.

Throughout the process, you kept in constant contact with us and were able to answer all our questions and concerns with clarity, patience and good humour. You were sensitive to the fact that this was a stressful time for us and your positiveness was always reassuring.

As you know, our property sold for a good price on the day of the auction, despite the doom and gloom of the real estate market. This was the result of your hard work following up every enquiry and enthusing a large number of potential buyers about the benefits of our place. You did a great job!

It would be remiss of us not to acknowledge the efforts of the other members of your office team. They all worked hard, with courtesy and enthusiasm. The success of the team reflects the strengths of the leader!

Thank you Lyn, for acting with such energy, enthusiasm and integrity, we will certainly recommend you highly to our friends and acquaintances.

All the best for the future

Yours faithfully

Geoff Roberts & Judy Ross

Dear Lyn

We would like to say a huge thank you for handling the sale of our property in Croydon in the caring and professional way that you did.

From our first meeting we both felt comfortable and reassured that we were in good hands, with the assistance of Jaclyn, and you have made what is a very stressful and confusing time the least worrying as you could in any way you were able to.

The team at Max Brown worked quickly and efficiently at getting our property on the market, and communication was good when it came to inspections and our open house.

We had a lot of questions along the way but you were never far from a phone call away and always endeavoured to answer our queries as soon as possible. We are very pleased with the outcome, achieving a fantastic price and selling in just 8 days.

Thankyou for helping us achieve our goals, and we would have no hestitations in recommending yourself and the Max Brown team to our family and friends who may consider selling property in the future.

Kind regards

Shane and Kim

Dear Lyn

I just wanted to express my thanks to you for the wonderful job you did selling my Nanna’s house and helping my parents purchase a home to accommodate my Nanna.

It has not been easy to find a home which had the requirements my parents needed, especially on a limited budget. We needed top dollar for my Nanna’s house to be able to purchase Geoffrey Drive and with your fabulous negotiation skills the property sold before it was even advertised. This enabled my parents to purchase their new home and move my Nanna with ease.

I cannot thank you enough for your compassion and professionalism in securing Geoffrey Drive and selling Baker Street.

Thank you very much and I have no hesitation in recommending you to potential buyers and sellers.

Kind regards

Just a short note to express our sincere thanks in the recent sale of our house. You made what could have been a stressful situation an absolute breeze. Nothing was too much for you to deal with and your professionalism throughout was truly appreciated.

You were friendly, polite, helpful (even helping clean up the kitchen for the photos!) and a genuine pleasure to deal with. You are a great team and we are very pleased we chose Max Brown Kilsyth to handle our sale. We were thrilled with the result.

We will have no hesitation in highly recommending you to others!

We would like to sincerely thank you and all the staff at Max Brown Real Estate, in particular Jaclyn, for the work you did selling our home.

Your approach was extremely professional, and all the work done in relation to marketing was exceptional! We are so glad we invested the extra money with our photos - using Terry Robinson from Open 2 View, his work was outstanding, and the quality was second to none. This lead to having a full colour picture board that was eye catching and proved very effective, not to mention the photos on your website.

It was so refreshing to have such honest agents, who undertand the pressure of selling a home, thankyou to all of the staff for the care you all took with showing people through.

 

Many Thanks
