We chose Vance Bibby as our realtor for the recent sale of our Lifestyle property in Katikati, Bay of Plenty. The experience we encountered with Vance was nothing less than outstanding, given some of the negative dealings we have encountered with previous properties being sold. We did not want the intrusions of open homes inconveniencing us - Vance respectfully adhered to our wishes, and vetoed every potential buyer in a way that excluded any "tyre-kickers". He saw value in our property, and went through the chattels and inclusions with a fine tooth-comb in order to fully familiarise himself, and his potential buyers with every detail of our property. His advice and acumen regarding the relative market for our particular property. and his personal input into the marketing strategy best suited to us, was exemplary. Vance updated us immediately be phone on every potential buyers' opinion of the house, and also promptly updated us by email of the ammount of hits and enquiries he had received through the media. The attention Vance paid to securing realistic buyers is evident by the fact that only the 3rd. prospective buyer bought the property, after only 3 weeks of marketing - Amazing, and the entire experience was so easy and comfortable. Vance has given us outstanding service and advice, and has gone the extra-mile by even suggesting and showing us some potential homes to go to. - And to boot, he is a very nice person. May we offer our sincerest thanks and gratitude to Vance for an exceptionally professional and absolute hassle-free marketing campaign and sale. Your attitude and dedication reminds us of an old statement which epitomises the essence of professionalism. "Quality and service are never accidents, They are the result of high intentions, sincere effort, Intelligent direction and skillful execution. They represent the wise choice of many different alternatives." Kindest Regards, Colin and Lesley Fulton Katikati.
