To Whom It May Concern,

Steve Hobson of Gerard Collins Real Estate has recently sold my property, after it being on the market for only a very short time.

I am very happy with the advertising, the inspections (which were always arranged with me) and the courteous manner with     which I was treated.

The sale price, the terms and conditions were very convenient, and I am very satisfied with the whole experience.

I also purchased a property and Steve arranged settlement of my purchase to coincide with the settlement of the property I  sold.       

I would highly recommend Gerard Collins Real Estate to anyone wanting to sell or buy real estate in the area.

Dear Derrick             

We would like to thank you and make you aware of the integrity of your staff member Phil Caswell. Phil’s integrity in dealing with us over the purchase of Meeking Drive was above reproach.  After dealing with numerous sales agents in the last few months, it is extremely refreshing to meet one with the honesty and integrity of Phil.

To Whom It May Concern,

 Just a short note to express my appreciation for the management and consideration shown in the auction of my Aunt’s 52 acre estate at Pakenham.

I live approx. 78kms from Pakenham so was unfamiliar with Real Estate Agents and the happenings in the Pakenham area.  I feel I picked the correct agent with Derrick Brown from Gerard Collins Real Estate in Pakenham.

I feel he advertised well and I had full confidence in all his organization and advice.

On the actual auction day everything was very organized and there were no hiccups or detail missed, It was all very professional.  Derrick also did an excellent job with the auction and I was very happy with the end sale.

I feel very confident in recommending Gerard Collins Real Estate.

Letter to the Gazette,

Dear Gazette,

I would like to say a big thank you to Gerard Collins for being so effective in selling our house.   The For Sale sign went up on Saturday 20^th March and it sold on Wednesday 24^th. March.  I couldn’t believe how quick it sold, Steve O`Loughlin bent over backwards to sell our house, I wouldn’t look further if I wanted to buy or sell a house again.

It’s nice to know that a local Real Estate agent really does look after the locals needs.

Well done Gerard Collins and keep up the good work.

Dear Sirs,

We are writing in appreciation of the time and efford that Steve O`Loughlin gave us in our serarch for an established home.  We had certain criteria that Steve tried his best to fulfill.  We found a house we wanted but unfortunately for Steve it was in Cranbourne and with another agency.    Steve was always courteous and helpful, nothing was a trouble to him.

We just wanted to say if there were more agents like Steve everyone would have an easier and happy search for a home.

Dear Steve,

Just a brief line to thank you very much for all of your help in the search for a new home since arriving in Australia.  Although we have subsequently purchased through another agency, we were delighted to have benefited from your assistance in really listening to our requirements and in putting forward a number of suitable properties, It was just unfortunate that the seller's aspirations could not be met by either us or the buying public as a whole.

Of all the real estate agents that we met, you took the most trouble to listen to our requirements and, with your marvellous sense of humour, apply your strong knowledge of the local area to see if you could put forward a deal for us.

Once again thanks for your unfailing good humour and property expertise.

My wife and I would like to express our appreciation fo the excellent service we recieved from your firm and in particular Phil Caswell, who handled the sale of our property.

At all times we found Phil to be a most helpful and caring person and always very approachable if we had any queries.  We would thoroughly recommend your company for any property sales.

Dear Derrick,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team during the sale of our home.   Your professionalism, assurance and honest approach during this time was without question and your constant communication was very much appreciated.  Having dealt with other Real Estate Agents within the Pakenham area, we would not hesitate with recommending Gerard Collins Real Estate to others selling or purchasing property.

Dear Sir,

Several years ago, we sold our first home through Gerard Collins, and found your agency to be professional and friendly, resulting in a successful sale.

This time we had no hesitation in seeking your agency to represnt us in the sale of our second home.  your agens were most hepful in every detail, with the same excellent result.  The property sold quite quickly, due mainly, we believe, to your presntation and personal commitment to the task.  We will have no hesitation in recommending your agency in the future.

Dear Sirs,

I would like to take this oppotunity to thank you for the excellent service you have provided in regards to the sale of our home.  We were extremely pleased with the way Mr. Stephen O`Loughlin handled the sale, he was polite, friendly and professional at all times and was always available to assist with our enquiries, even outside working hours.

We are fairly new to Australia and have had two previous experiences with Real Estate Agents, in both cases we were completely disillusioned with the manner in which they performed, however, the service your agency offred was beyond our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and aquaintances if they should ever be in the market for buying or selling property.

In the present economic climate I am sure that Real Estate Agents have a difficult task, but with the approach yur staff seem to have to their profession, I am sure you will always feature strongly in Pakenham and surrounding districts.

Thank you again for your excellent service.
