Brian liked pretty much all the houses I sent him to consider and asked which one I thought was the best value. It was rewarding that he put that trust in my judgement. So we worked through the exercise of considering the critical aspects of all the properties and agreed to put an offer on the one we both thought represented the best buy. We missed a couple of properties before we secured 35 Wood Drive. The timing was convenient over Christmas / New Year as agents and those wanting to buy were on holiday. This reduced competition. Brian had a decent $650k budget, making for an easier task. Fortunately, there was enough quality stock available that met the brief and most properties we considered seriously were under budget. We found a quality 3-year-old property, well under budget and in an excellent location. The B & P inspection ran smoothly and we agreed to a reduction in price to cover repair issues. The buyer is happy with his purchase, it was indeed a pleasure to work with Brian, for the 20 days between our initial chat and signing a contract. I'd like more of these please!}'}
