We first met Brian at an open home and were impressed by his friendly manner and the seemingly genuine interest he showed in our situation. His follow-up was proactive without being pushy and it soon became apparent that he is the type of person we could easily work with. During the process of listing our property, Brian gave sound advice as to what work would be beneficial and what would be superfluous. He gave a realistic appraisal of the worth of our property in the current market and had local examples available for comparison. Brian focused on key features of our property that gave it a point of difference and the advertising package he collated appealed to prospective buyers so that open homes were well attended. He also facilitated many private viewings. The sale of our property was achieved after little more than a month on the market and the successful purchaser's offer was one of several presented. During the time on the market, Brian maintained timely communication with us so that we were always well informed. His practical approach and connections with local building professionals enabled him to answer questions posed by prospective buyers and were also advantageous as we progressed on to purchasing our next property. From the perspective of a buyer, Brian ensured that he made us aware of any properties coming onto the market that might suit our needs without wasting time on those that would be unsuitable. He also proved to be an effective negotiator by being honest, realistic and an effective communicator throughout the process. Although we worked mainly with Brian, he and Emma proved to be a very effective team who worked well together and whose skills complemented each other. Emma's superb efficiency and depth of knowledge of the local market were invaluable. In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend Team Emma and Brian to anyone considering entering the property market in the Nelson region and I thank them for the work completed on our behalf.
