We are incredible grateful for support and help from the team - sincerely, worth every penny! Munro and Lisa couldn’t have been more attentive, insightful and anticipatory. We were in incredibly good hands which was very comforting, particularly as we got to the point of offering on the home the team helped us find. It’s difficult to think that the process could possibly have been any better. Munro was artful in helping us balance between the emotional “pull” of an attractive house and the objective investigative due diligence (were it not for the Propertbuyer team, we would never have found out about fairly significant issues with some of the homes we wanted to pursue - I shudder to think of the long-term costs we would ultimately have had to bear).
