Gary has a real farming background and hands on knowledge of all aspects of dairy farming and gives a realistic view of what is achievable.We found him easy to deal with and was professional in his approach.
Used his farming skills to give clients a clear understanding of what can be achieved
There was a considerable gap between the vendors expectations and what the market was prepared to pay. Gary had a difficult job to do the right thing by the vendor, in terms of getting the best price for them, and what we were prepared to go to. As such Gary had to do a lot of leg work to get the deal done. He was professional at all times, and was a very good communicator. Note: I have below "ticked" the final sale price was worse than our expectations, that is not a slight on Gary. That is simply where we saw the market price, and the expectations of the vendor. The gap was bridged, and at the end of the day we are comfortable with the price we paid.
Found us a property when we came second on another one. Worked through a challenging DD period and closed the deal.
Gary, through Harcourts, has sold 4 lifestyle blocks and a farm for us. He has been alongside our family and our farming business for 5 years. He has helped us with advice on the farm, he has set up and helped oversee a lease of the farm and then the final sale. All done with our interest and that of all those involved held as equal to each other in a most trustworthy and honorable manner. He REALLY earnt the commissions in all cases by working hard and gaining the trust of buyers due to his straight up nature. I could always feel easy phoning him and he would always phone back promptly if unable to take the call straight away. We appreciate Gary and hold him in the highest regard as he has helped us immensely, more than ever expected - and for so long. Gary's good nature, commitment and open and clear communication coupled with sound knowledge brings about excellent results - even if it takes an extra couple of years due to the industries challanges. A wonderful man.
Dealing with Gary on the purchase of our new home has been fantastic. His communication is always prompt and professional. He goes above and beyond to answer any questions we may have had. Easy to get along with and can talk freely on any subject. Wonderful Agent...
Gary, was always available, worked hard, and encouraged a positive attitude to get a satisfactory outcome.
Garry worked hard and professionally in selling our property keeping us informed after every open day of viewings, and of potential people with an interest. He listened to any questions and did his very best to satisfy
Gary was excellent, had answers to our questions, and kept us updated throughout the process. He's also been helpful after the deal went through, unlike others who just disappear as if they don't know who you are. We'd recommend Gary anytime.
Gary & Nicola were brilliant agents from start to finish. They provided excellent communication throughout the selling process and were always available to answer any queries. They worked hard to achieve a sale for us through a tricky market. An awesome sales team, we highly recommend!
