We engaged Simon’s services as we had confidence in his market knowledge and experience . Throughout our selling process we felt Simon provided good feedback and guidance in what was a tricky market . He achieved an excellent result for us and provided a trusted professional conduit with our near neighbours and good friends who purchased the property Having Simon as agent enabled us to keep a good professional relationship with our purchasing friends so at no time did we feel our friendship would come under strain . Simons discretion and confidentiality was evident at all times and we never felt that was ever a source of concern. Our only point of concern came around the presenting of an extremely low offer which I felt was insulting from the potential buyer. This did knock our confidence somewhat at the time and I wonder if PGG should reconsider its policy of presenting all offers and think about offers needing to be within a certain percentage of market or govt valuation . Whilst I accept Simon had to present it we weren’t happy to recieve it . Overall we recommend Simon highly for his service and dedication and we would be happy to recommend to anyone selling farms in this market
