Dear Nick, Today I completed and returned your service questionnaire, as requested. If I thought ticking a few boxes was enough then I guess I wouldn't be sending you this e-mail. What I would also like you to know is that WITHOUT EXCEPTION every phone call I made, every request I had, every task I needed done, was handled by your staff - and thats EVERY SINGLE staff member - in a very friendly and competent manner AND with a sense of urgency. I found this to be the case with all my Rental and sales dealings. This hasn't happened to me before - ever. In anything. May I please then once again extend my sincere thanks to you, the team and management of Elders RE Toongabbie. It must be a great place to work. Regards, Jim

Dear Matt,
Re: SALE OF 13 GENEVA CRESCENT
After 31 years in our family home we decided to make a tree change.
Having made this decision we went to a couple of Real Estates to get a valuation. That afternoon we had 2 agencies come back to us with the expected price for our property.
Matt from Elders organised to come out to talk us through the process. When he arrived he handed us a brochure with a photo of our house on the front cover. This was all put together in a couple of hours. We were very impressed with his professional manner and friendly approach.
From that first meeting we could see how he has achieved his great sales results, a decicated professional who kept us informed at all times as to the process of the sale. This helped ease what could have been a very stressful process as this is the first time we have sold a property.
After 2 weeks we accepted an offer that we were very happy with, the cooling off period has just ended and the house is sold.
I would like to thank Matt and his team for their exceptional professionalism and support that they showed us. We wish you continued success in the future.
We cannot thank you enough

Dear Matt,
Just a quick note to express our sincere thank you for all your help with the sale of our home.
From the beginning you made us feel confident and comfortable and listened to our expectations of the selling process. This resulted in a quick, stress free sale at a fantastic price, which we initally thought was not achievable.
This is now our third time buying and selling through you and once again you have demonstrated that you definately have your finger on the pulse of this patch of the Western Sydney market. We also believe you knew exactly how to approach the sale of our home without the high pitched sales technique used by other agents to get us on board.
We trusted you from the beginning which is critical when appointing an agent.
Once again thank you for your time, effort and care.
Best Regards
Steven and Renee Kearney

Dear Leon,
Just a quick note to thank you for the remarkable job you did in the selling of my property at 2/46 Reynolds Street, Old Toongabbie.
As you were aware I was told that i had been successful in entering the NSW Police Force and was to take up training at Goulburn on 10 May. Knowing the time frame I had in place I contacted you to put my house on the market asap.
With everything in order i.e. contracts etc. you held an "unofficaial" open house a week after my contacting you.The turnout was remarkable considering you had only had a short time in which to advertise it.
After the open house I was offered a price which was very acceptable for the first day of selling. Your negotiation skills were quite outstanding and after some dicussion with the prospective buyers we were able to come to an agreed figure.All this in two days. Remarkable!
The settlement date was completed on 3 May 2010 which was the exact time I needed to get myself moved and ready to start my new career and life.
I can only thank you for the outstanding manner in which you operate and can assure anyone considering the use of you as an agent that what you see is really what you get and that you walk the walk and talk the talk.
I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone wanting a extremely professional agent who operates with the highest intergrity and last but not least gets the job done.
Thank you and my very best wishes to you for the future. Paul Mogan

Dear Matt,
We would like to thank you and your team for all of your wonderful sales work at selling our home.
The market at the moment has been moving so fast but with our slae you did have a challenge with the complications involved, we almost felt the need to apologise for our strata issues causing so much hassle. If it hadn't been for the issues we had, you would have sold our house in a day! Considering it all we are so happy that you were able to secure a sale for us after only one open home and just a few weeks on the market. Well done!
It certainly was a challenge (and the complcations were beyond any of our control) but we were very confident that if anyone was going to have a successful sale of our home (without us having to dramatically drop our price) you were the man for the job.
Thank you also for all of your wonderful assistance with any questions we had and being so available whenever we needed to talk to you. We went with Elders Toongabbie based on the professional sales team and sales strategies that you presented to us and you were as good as your word.
We are very happy to have sold through Elders Toongabbie and would highly recommend your services to anyone who is looking to sell.
Kind regards, Fiona & Tom Eaton

To All Potential Sellers and Buyers in the Toongabbie Region,
Matt is an extremely knowledgeable Estate Agent in the Toongabbie area, many Elders signs throughout the suburb testify to his and Elders reputation locally. Many of these signs soon have "SOLD" stickers on them.
Matt was very approachable and honest in his valuation of the property and what would meet the market and make a good sale.
We trusted Matt and he delivered. He had a great team behind him that obviously work in unison with him.
I would recommend Matt and Elders Toongabbie to all prospective sellers and buyers in the Toongabbie area. Elders also managed the rental affairs of our property and I would recommend them to manage your rental property also.
Cheers and Thankyou,

More specifically the aspects of your service that we would like to make particular note of are;
1. Your strong desire and determination to have us list our property with Elders Toongabbie. This was evidenced by you producing at our initial visit, a booklet featuring our property and your genuine enthusiasm and interest in our home.
2. A very impressive and high quality marketing campaign. The advertisement featuring our property showed excellent attention to detail with a well written description accompanied by a multitude of outstanding photos.
3. The clear and frequent communication (including phone calls, letters and emails) regarding the process of the sale of our house.
4. Your ability to achieve a final selling price that was $3000 above what we were happy to accept.

To whom it may concern,
As most people know selling a house can be a major challenge and without the right people acting on your behalf a challenging process can become a nightmare.
Our decision to go with Elders Toongabbie was made easy right from the start. Leon Gietzmann understood that the mere act of placing our house on the market required us to step outside of our comfort zone. Whilst other Real Estate Agents were only concerned about getting us to sign on, Leon wanted us to first be comfortable with the idea and helped put our minds at ease.
Once we had signed with Elders Toongabbie, our property was presented to the market at the highest level. The advertisement on www.realestate.com was amazing and several well taken photos showed off our property and made us rememeber why we bought it in the first place.
To say Leon did his job well would be an understatement. We were provided with prompt and detailed reviews from potential purchasers after every inspection. Leon worked tirelessly to chase down every lead and make sure that the best possible offer was presented to us. No matter what challenge arose Leon remained steadfast and focused on the job with unwavering faith.
We are extremely happy with the outcome Leon achieved for us and have no hesitation in recommending him or Elders Toongabbie to anyone in the future.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Leon
RE: Division and Sale of 28 Ballandella Road, Toongabbie
I am very pleased to advise that the subdivision plans have been approved by Land Titles and that notice has now been given to the purchaser's solicitor for settlement no lated than 22 December 2009.
This has been a long time in the process, and a sale that you commenced work on long before it was ever listed. There is a great deal to be said for addressing all the concerns of an owner before listing and the correct approach in those early stages often determines the outcome. In my case, it was your constantly keeping in touch with regular updates during the time we were redeveloping the property that made the difference.
Listening is also a very under-rated quality in today's world, and I have to say that every step of the way you were sensitive to my concerns and expectations, and in particular as to seeking the right purchasers given they were to become my mother's neighbours.
I am very grateful for your effort and outstanding professionalism throughout the sales campaign and for that of your colleagues who assisted.
Best Regards

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
We were very impressed with the way Matt presented a close friend’s property and when it came time to sell our home, we called Matt first.
Matt was confident in his ability to market our home and frank in appraising the property and likely market response. Matt put together an outstanding package which drew out the best in our home. A number of buyers came through on day one and Matt sold it in just 28 hours – well before the planned open home. In negotiating, Matt’s nerve held out long after we might have otherwise settled. The eventual difference between out desired price and the sale price covered Matt’s commission twice over.
Overall, we would happily recommend Matt’s service to friends, and have been very pleased with his knowledge, experience, and professionalism throughout the sale of our property.
Thanks again,
Paul & Melissa Betts.

Dear Leon
We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for being involved in the sale of our property at 6 Valencia Cres Toongabbie.
Our decision to move was extremely difficult as we had lived in our home for 39 years.
We decided to choose Elders Real Estate Toongabbie, because we had previously met you Leon at an open house inspection that we passed on the way home & decided to go in for a look, & we spoke with you about an obligation free inspection on our home.
When you came to see us to give an appraisal, you were very honest in what you thought that our house would sell for,
We waited about 4 weeks before we decided to put the house on the market.
But when we did, you were very professional, friendly & approachable in the way that you organized everything from the advertising, photos, showing propsective buyers around etc. .& 'clinching the deal'
. The photographs were very well done, & our house sold in a week. & we believe we got a record price at that time in our area, which was amazing.
We would highly recommend both you & the team at Elders Real Estate Toongabbie to any one we know who may be wishing to sell their home & we would like to congratulate you Leon for the service your provided to us.
Kind Regards

I am writing to thank you for your profession work in marketing and selling my Toongabbie villa within 7 days of it being put on the market!
After over 10 years settle in the one place and having never sold a property, I was quite daunted about the prospect of selling my villa. However, your extremely professional advice and assistance made the process very smooth and allayed all my concerns.
To sell my property within 7 days exceeded my expectations, both in terms of price and time. I could not have hoped for a quicker or more professional approach and outcome.
Finally, I appreciated your friendly, honest and relaxed attitude. You and the Elders team made a potentially stressful situation feel easy.
I have no hesitation in recommending you and Elders Toongabbie to anyone wishing to sell their home.

This letter of appreciation is to highlight and value the outstanding services provided by Mr Nick Bardon, Sales Manager. My association as a client with Mr Bardon started late May 2009 when I went to an open house in Cornelia Road, Toongabbie.
Mr Bardon is very professional in dealing with clients. As a client, I would expect an agent to be honest and not influence clients on decisions. I found these highly desirable qualities in Nick Bardon. All through the dealing, Nick was very honest and dependable. There were many occasions I went back to Nick Bardon and sought his advice. Every time I sought his advice, Nick always provided me with the right information and never influenced the decision.
Nick Bardon makes sure that the client always get the right information. He is very polite, helpful, professional and ethical. I was very impressed by Nick Bardon’s service in buying the property at Cornelia Road, Toongabbie. This positive experience helped me to decide to hire Nick Bardon’s services again in the same month to sell my existing property in Targo Road, Girraween.
Again, Nick proved himself as a professional and reliable person. He advised me on the right price range for the sale. He gave me the right market picture. At this stage, I have to say that there are some agents in the market who drive customers with high hopes and unachievable price and finally let the customer stranded on a low sale price. This is where Nick Bardon stands out from the others. He made sure that the property is sold at a good price in the fair interest of the seller and buyer thereby satisfying both the parties. My property was sold on the first open house. I had acceptable offers and finalised the deal the same day. This is a perfect example of Nick Bardon’s expertise. Nick always kept the client informed with periodic phone calls and prompt weekly status reports proving his professionalism.
I conclude my letter by congratulating Nick Bardon for his efforts and personally thank him for his service. My appreciation goes to every staff in Elders Toongabbie office for the courtesy extended to me as a client. I would definitely recommend Nick’s service to anyone who wants to have a profitable and reliable sale.
Good luck to you.

Re: Sale of 12/113 Toongabbie Road, Toongabbie Dear Matt, Thank you for your honest and professional service in the sale of our property. Selling the house in only two days for the full asking price was way beyond our wildest expectations. We were very impressed with the work that went into the proposal about our property, with only one days notice, that you gave us at our first meeting, when we were only just considering selling, and the advice that went with it that it made up our minds. And the results speak for themselves. Although our dealings with you were only very short, I found that yourself and the team at Elders Toongabbie to be very cooperative and only too willing to help us with any questions that we had. You were straight forward right from the first meeting and did not give us an unrealistic idea of what price we could achieve for our property and you always backed your ability to negotiate the best possible price, which you did! The feedback system that you have at Elders is extraordinary; being able to find out a couple of hours after viewing what the potential purchaser thought about the house is unbelievable. To me this goes above and beyond what you could expect in dealing with real estate agents. We would not hesitate recommending you to any other potential buyers or sellers in the area. Thank you, Michael & Rebecca McKeon

To Whom It May Concern
Matt Barham - Sales Manager Extraordinaire
I met Matt Barham a number of years ago while viewing another property in the neighbouring area. Like many others, I wanted an idea of what my property was worth, and what other properties in the area were like, without wanting to deal with another "salesman". I was immediately taken by Matt's professional courtesy, not to mention his extensive knowledge of our area, and for the first time, decided to keep a real estate agent's business card.
Keeping Matt's card was the best move I ever made. Over the years, I have asked Matt to come and value our property and have a chat about what the market is doing, which he has done a number of times without any obligation. His up-to-date information has helped us make decisions regarding our property, and he was obviously our first choice when it came to selling our property.
Our house sold in an amazingly short time and at the exact price we wanted. This is the first time that we have ever sold a property, and without Matt's constant updates, wealthy knowledge and calm and professional manner, I am certain it would have been considerably more stressful.
I have no hesitation in recommending Matt to others - in fact, despite the fact that we have now moved out of Sydney, I will be keeping his business card to pass on to friends and family.
It has been an absolute pleasure having Matt as our sales manager.
Yours sincerely

I am pleased to be able to recommend Elders Toongabbie, and particularly Matt Barham, with whom we dealt with to arrange the sale of my mother’s property.
From the first contact we had found their services to be professional and courteous. Their fixed price contract was reassuring and their presentation extremely good.
Given that the sale took place during a boom period in this particular area, we were nevertheless impressed with the fact that we had a purchaser within 24 hours of listing, at the asking price! This I’m sure can only happen with a team who know their clientele and their needs.
Thank you to the team for assisting us to a satisfying result during what is never an easy time.

Dear Matt,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for your wonderful support and enthusiasm during the sale of our home.
From day one I felt very comfortable with your professionalism and your honesty and extremely happy with the marketing and advertising of our home.
Selling our home I imagined was going to be a rather stressful time, but thanks to you Matt that wasn't the case, we quite enjoyed the process and are very happy with the result.
Your weekly inspection reports are a wonderful idea I enjoyed receiving them with the valuable information and feedback from prospective buyers.
Overall we have been very impressed with all aspects of your service and would highly recommend Matthew Barham and Elders Real Estate to any of our family and friends.
We wish you continued success.
Yours Sincerely,
Mary & Bob Corbett

To Whom It May Concern,
It was with much fear and trepidation that we embarked on the journey of listing our home for sale. Having read a lot about the industry, we were certain the real estate sharks were circling, intent on their win and our loss.
Fortunately, in choosing 'Elders, this scenario was not the case.
During our first meeting with Matt Barham, we could see that he was proven sales achiever with a hard working appetite for results. This is what we had hoped for - someone who would be proactive, willing to work hard for the vendor, someone who would make selling our house their priority.
I had two A4 pages of questions for Matt during the first interview. We grilled poor Matt, yet he still maintained his integrity and still presented as a likeable and approachable professional.
We pored over his recent sales and statistics. In comparison with our other local real estate agents, Matt's sales history was unequalled. The decision was quite simple.
In the lead up to, and as soon as our house hit the market, Matt and his team worked tirelessly to ensure that buyers were sourced, shown through and followed up. Feedback was flying in and so were the offers.
Within a few days we had accepted an offer we were very pleased with and within 5 days of being on the market, we had signed contracts.
Now we are off to our 'sea change' and the whole experience of selling our first home couldn't have been easier.
So, thank you to Matt and the team at Elders. It is because of you and your hard work and professionalism that we are yet another one of your brilliant sales statistics. And that makes us very happy!
Best Regards
R & T Bray

I want to send you a quick email to express my appreciation of your fantastic team.
I purchased my property at 9 Winnipeg Street Seven Hills through Matt Barham approximately 5 years ago which was an enjoyable and easy experience. Last year we moved out of Sydney and due to our previous dealings with Elders Toongabbie we decided to use your services for property management. Our initial dealings with Lora and then Julie and Leanne have been fantastic. They have handled all of our enquiries with enthusiasm and professionalism.
Finally, we have recently been forced to sell our property and again decided to use your services. Matt was our sales agent and again he was nothing but professional, optimistic and helpful. He was also very empathic and understanding of our situation. It has been quite a difficult sale due to the fact that we had tenants in the property. I have been in constant contact with Matt, Leanne and Julie to ensure that everything went smoothly for settlement. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and they have all gone out of their way to help me. (The fact we sold the property in under 1 week, for the full asking price was a bonus!).
I wanted you to know that you have an amazing team. Never before have I dealt with various departments of an organisation over a 5 year period and received nothing but help, understanding and acute professionalism.
Congratulations and sincere thanks!
Yours Sincerely,
Rachel Gillespie

To Whom It May Concern,
I recently had dealings with Leon Gietzmann in the sale of an investment property I owned.
Leon was at all times reliable, courteous and punctual. Always with a friendly smile and a kind word.
Leon put in a lot of hours at open houses to show my property to a large numbers of prospective buyers.
I received a fair price for my house and within the range Leon recommended.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Leon to any person wishing to buy or selling a property.
Yours truly,
Catherine L Bail

First let us thank you for your successful marketing and sale of our Pendle Hill property.
You will recall that our property had already been on the market for 6 months and we had decided to change to a highly recommended agency when you asked for the opportunity to market our property.
At the time we were somewhat mystified as to why our property had not sold. It was well presented and in an ideal location; close to the railway station, schools and shops but it had not sold and had not attracted many inspections.
You really impressed us with your presentation, your valuable local knowledge and the professional way in which your marketing plan addressed the issues we raised above. We also appreciated your directness and assessment of the asking price of which I will say more later. In fact we were so impressed with the quality of your knowledge and presentation that we signed an agency agreement with you there and then confident that you would deliver.
I must comment that the advertising was exceptional and the speed with which Elders had the property on the market was great. The sales process was exactly as promised and the inspections multiplied. Your team are very professional and a pleasure to deal with and you constantly kept us up to date with the amount of enquiries and feedback from potential buyers who viewed our property.
Your professional and personal approach was very reassuring and took away the emotional drain we had previously experienced.
Then when the offer came and we accepted, you advised that you would be at our home at 7:00pm to sign a contract. We were surprised when you were late but delighted that the reason being was that you had spent the time to negotiate an extra $2000 dollars on the initial offer.
Leon, your dedication to achieving a premium price for our property is greatly appreciated. So many times you and your team showed our property to prospective buyers and we especially appreciated you showing our property during your holidays, on your days off and after hours as well.
It appears that you are relentless on delivering on your promise and your dedication, commitment and professionalism to us will not be forgotten.
What you promised for the sale of our property - you delivered.
Also our many thanks for assisting us with your thoughts on our best way to relocate to the Gold Coast and advice on the best way to make an offer on a property.
Leon, thank you for selling our property. Thank you for the excellent job that you did. Thank you for delivering on your proposal.
Every now and again we learn something new and meet someone new. This time we have learnt from an agent who is relentless and whom we consider to be our friend.
We have no hesitation in recommending you Leon to anyone preparing to sell their home.
Yours sincerely,
Brian and Gail Mitchell

I would like to thank you for managing the sale of my families investment property. You succeeded where others had failed.
I was very pleased with all the updates and information and all the enquiries that you received during the sale. All information received was relayed to myself and my brother John Borg on a regular basis with telephone and correspondence from yourself and your office.
We attained a very good value for the sale of the property and attribute this value and sale to your professionalism and attention to detail. You always had your finger on the pulse so to speak.
I would recommend you highly to any clients wishing to sell their properties as you again have succeeded in all aspects in regards to the sale of our property.
Again, we thank you for all your hard work and efforts.
We wish the best of fortune for your future.
Kind Regards
J. Borg

Dear Nick,
Our sincere thanks to you for a sale that was quick and at a price that was of great market value.
We have earlier tried buying through you but unfortunately we were not successful. We like your genuine interest, effort and friendly demeanor.
Prior to our sale you have sold my brother-in-law's property and he highly recommended you as he was pleased with the service you and the rest of your team at Elders provided.
We found you very professional and helpful at every stage in the process of the sale of our property. Also you were very punctual at appointments and 'Open House' times. The immediate feedback of prospective buyers was insightful of the pulse of the market. We valued the comments even though most were not so encouraging.
Even after the sale of the property, you were always available and dealt with issues that needed attention.
We, Deepa and I, would like to thank you for your professionalism and enthusiasm in selling of our property. The process was smooth, quick and stress free.
We have no hesitation in recommending you and your team at Elders to any prospective buyers or sellers.
Kind and warm regards
Deepa & George Francis

Dear Nick,
This is just to thank you for the help and professional assistance you afforded me during the sale of my property at Una Place, Toongabbie.
After the trouble I had in selling my place of residence in Glenwood, listed with another real estate agent, I was expecting that the Toongabbie property which is in a lesser condition would take considerable time to sell.
Your confidence and advice on the setting of the selling price gave me some hope but I was amazed when the property sold in the first week it appeared on the market.
This has enabled me to purchase the property I wanted at the price I hoped to pay.
Thank you again for all your help and I would happily recommend your agency to anyone thinking of selling or buying.
Best Regards,
Colin Hoare
