Your professionalism, flair and commitment throughout the process was excellent, you advised and supported us so well, and you kept us fully informed with your regular and detailed reports. Our initial choice of Kellands as agents for the sale of our Onetangi property was based on evidence of your very successful record of sales in this area. The wisdom of this choice was abundantly confirmed by our personal experience of your ability, candour, integrity and friendliness.

Having dealt with other agents in the past, I had expected to have my hopes wildly inflated at the outset and then massaged south towards the end, even subtly. But you were nothing but honest and frank with me: realistic without being an Eeyore, positive without being a Pollyanna. All in all, I had a very clear picture of where we were at every step of the way and I knew I could trust you implicitly. And, in the end, the auction process was not at all intimidating, so thank you for that.\u003cbr /\u003eEven better, Charles, was your tireless campaign to achieve free publicity for my place. Although I knew it was a long-shot, your motivation and responsiveness achieved a front cover feature in the Herald on Sunday\u0026rsquo;s real estate section, which added amazing value to my campaign spend and was responsible for sharpening potential purchasers\u0026rsquo; resolve a week before the auction I am sure!\"\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003eVendor - S.
