We wish to thank Marshall White Real Estate for the excellent result achieved in selling my mother’s home on 13 June 2009, with special thanks for the hard work and excellent service provided by Mark Sutherland and James Tostevin in the three-week sales campaign and auction. The price of $1,216,000 far exceeded our expectations. The house is in the Golf Links Estate Heritage Overlay area, and selling it was an emotion-charged decision, particularly for my 90-year-old mother as it has been in the family since it was built by her father in 1936. We were concerned that the selling experience, with documents to sign, a series of vendor meetings, six OFIs (open for inspections) and OFI reports, could be too much for her, but Mark and James were able to combine a business-like approach with patience and understanding in all their dealings with us. We felt some initial anxiety as we had no experience of auction campaigns, but soon felt reassured by the feedback that Mark and James gave us after each OFI and in meetings to discuss the level of interest shown by prospective buyers. We came to appreciate that there is a lot of hard work involved in marketing a property and identifying and dealing with potential buyers. We know they are busy people with many other clients, but they made us feel that we were getting special attention, almost as though we were their only clients. Mark and James attended promptly to all our questions and concerns. We were a bit nervous on auction day, but their calm manner and professionalism gave us the reassurance we needed, and the result showed that we were right to choose Marshall White. We would be happy to deal with them again, and we recommend Marshall White to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Thank you for all your work in completing the sale of our property. From the minute you stepped into our campaign we felt your enthusiasm to sell our property… and of course you succeeded! We really appreciated your honesty and experience during what was a stressful time for us both. But you managed it all with great patience, integrity and understanding, for which we are very grateful. We are very happy to have sold through yourself and Marshall White. Thank you so much for all your assistance.

It is without hesitation that I provide this letter of recommendation to you for your outstanding efforts in the sale of our Hawthorn East property in August this year. As a home owner who naturally wants to achieve the best possible result for their property, it is not an easy decision to select a real estate agent to achieve this outcome. Selling your family home is a very stressful and emotional process, which is why it is imperative to choose a knowledgeable, local and reputable real estate agent in the area. From the moment we selected Marshall White, Hawthorn to represent our property, we never had any cause to regret our choice. In fact, as a business-minded person who has very high expectations, you not only exceeded these expectations but also achieved a wonderful result! Mark, at all times we found you very approachable, you responded to our numerous queries we had very promptly and provided us with a very regular feedback throughout the whole marketing campaign. Your individual service level is outstanding. We have also appreciated your assistance following the sale of our own home, in helping us secure a new home in the area through your regular calls to alert us to new homes coming up through Marshall White, taking into account our requirements and price range. We felt that you clearly listened to our needs and selected properties for our consideration on this basis. We continue to recommend yourself and the wonderful team at Marshall White, Hawthorn to anyone looking to sell or buy in the area. Thank you again for your invaluable assistance with the successful sale of our property.

I would like to thank you for your assistance with the recent sale of my property in Surrey Hills. From our first meeting it was clear that the sale process would be handled professionally. I am sure that your professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile not only impressed Kirsten and I, but also potential buyers of the property. It came as no surprise that the final result was fantastic. I recommend that anyone looking to sell speaks to you!

We are so pleased we chose you as our real estate agent to assist us with the sale of our home. After a bad experience a year early we found working with you very comfortable. Your honesty and professionalism was evident in all aspects of the marketing and subsequent sale process. You offered advice and support when required without us feeling under undue pressure when decision-making. We felt that you listened and reacted in accordance with our interests to achieve a very quick sale at a good price. Through canvassing of your existing clientele you achieved a satisfactory sale prior to auction. At all times you kept us fully informed during the sale process. We would certainly recommend you to anyone looking to sell their property and would not hesitate to engage you again on any future property sales we undertake.

After an outstanding sales campaign by James Tostevin and Mark Sutherland, and a breathtaking Auction by James, our house became “that house in Parkhill Road, Kew” that made all forms of the media the week following the auction. Both Mark and James exceeded our expectations in all areas of the sales campaign, especially their professionalism and the price achieved on the day. We whole heartedly recommend that you entrust the sale of your most valuable asset to James and his team at Marshall White.

We recently sold our home in Surrey Hills through Marshall White. The two young men who ran the campaign (Mark Sutherland and Duane Wolowiec) were a delight to deal with. The professionalism of both Mark and Duane leading up to, during and after the sale of our house was 100%. They were at all times; courteous, considerate, gave advice in a positive way (had a good eye for detail), answered all our questions promptly, thorough in keeping us informed all through the campaign, by phone, in writing and face-to-face reporting. The boardroom auction a week before the scheduled date was exciting and gained us a much better price. Both men worked until the signing of the contact to maximise the price we received. We have no hesitation in recommending their services to others, as we felt at all times our custom was important. We wish both Mark and Duane every success in their future endeavours, we are sure that they will go far in the real estate industry.
