We were happy with his role

We were happy with his role

Good at communicating and returning calls/txt.Was never over powering and a nice casual demeanor,and also offered other private services after the possession date. Our only disappointment whether it being agent issue or lawyers was at time of deposit failing to understand insurance information to deposit on due date.

An experienced agent that listens to his clients and ensures the best possible sale on the day.

Wayne is an agent that can be trusted to close even the most difficult contracts with trying buyers. Wayne constantly considers all opportunities and communicates these well to his customers ensuring positive outcomes. I am now selling my third property through Wayne and would easily use him again in the future due to his outstanding market knowledge, depth of industry knowledge and fantastic communication. Wayne understands both buyers and vendors well ensuring he acts effectively as the negotiator in the middle. Our last two properties sold by Wayne have been timely transactions, easy and consistently priced well to the market.
