Wes, I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the great job you have done in selling my property.
After being with another agent for three months and with only one very low offer in that time, I was feeling very despondent and doubtful that I could sell my property for a reasonable price.
But then you were recommended to me, and from our first meeting I felt confident that you would get the job done. You came in with enthusiasm and a great knowledge of real estate in our area. You told me the price that you would get for me, and with a little patience, you were true to your word, achieving a price not only $200k more than the offer with the previous agent, but even more than I had initially hoped for.
You made the whole process easy, and I am happily (and gratefully) singing your praises to everyone I know.
Thank you again, Cathy Desbrowe-Annear
Here Cathy details her experience dealing with Wes from Real Estate Geelong and how Wes achieved $200,000 more for her home in 21 days compared to her previous agent in 97 days. In Cathy’s words she explains how her previous agent use maintenance items to condition her to accept a lower price of $1.050m saying that's probably what it’s worth.
Wes was referred by a friend that had exceptional results using Wes and so she asked Wes in to inspect the property. Wes appraised the property at 1.2-1.25m and told Cathy he would absolutely achieve that result. Cathy said she felt disgruntled and hated her home after her previous experience with the last agent. Once she spoke to Wes, she was so excited she had finally found someone that had a passion for her home, someone that could easily identify all of the features that needed to be described and projected to prospective buyers to achieve a price that the property deserved. Wes was able to sell to Cathy the features and benefits so much so that she felt like she wanted to keep the home and no longer sell it.
21 days later Wes had the property sold and Cathy was set to collect $200k extra tax free in her pocket above what her previous agent was asking her to accept. Wes exceeded her every expectation in every aspect of her campaign. Cathy now only recommend Wes to everyone she knows to sell their property.
