BUYERS' AGENT COMMENTS

At 10:00am on a Saturday, a client contacted us needing representation at an auction that same afternoon. Munro immediately called the selling agent to understand the level of buyer interest and likely competition, so the client could be emotionally and financially prepared within hours.
