Client Comments

Most people make very few property purchases. Even if you've been watching markets and planning ahead it's a very steep learning curve with many unknowns. It's an area where if I'm realistic, I'm far from expert. So, we engaged Munro's expertise and have no regrets. Munro impressed us from the outset with his approach to helping us with our recent purchase. The most important issue, prior to sign up was helping us clearly understand for ourselves - then explain to him - how the new property fitted into our bigger life plans. That process in itself was worthwhile for the confidence it brought us. Upon signing, he swung into action, immediately organising a property inspection and the relevant reports, along with evidence-based value comparisons. His negotiations on our behalf meant we could carry on with normal life while the contract process progressed. What was very impressive and, frankly, impossible for us to match, was his knowledge of areas and the people involved. That gave him the edge in negotiating. And we were very satisfied. Financially he paid for himself, but even more, when I felt out of my depth, he was always there, with advice and encouragement. We're very happy that we engaged Munro and the resources behind him.
