David Murphy sold my two-bedroom apartment in November 2017. The apartment had been my home for 13 years but I needed to sell it to buy a place on the South Coast with my partner. The timing wasn't ideal - being so close to Christmas and it would have been very risky to try to sell it after the New Year given I had to settle on my new property in early March. I also had a tenant living in there so I had to rely on the tenant to present the apartment well. David kept me up to date along the way. He was great at explaining the situation, the number of people who had inspected the apartment, which ones were the most likely purchasers and their circumstances and opinion of the property. He also did a great job with negotiating with the eventual buyers. I would say that he did a great job in a market that was starting to soften and in the run up to Christmas. Nothing was too much trouble for David and Joann.

Dear Lucy,I am writing to thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling unit 13 at 10 Clifford St Mosman for us. We were able to achieve a great result in a relatively short time frame, which was even more impressive given it was achieved over the Christmas holiday period. Your professionalism, integrity and attention to detail were a highlight as well as your ongoing communication and updates. We certainly appreciated the advice and service you were able to provide on presenting the property, the regular and honest updates on the inspections and level of interest, and your realistic assessment of the property’s value. We were also greatly impressed by your negotiating skills and ability to close the sale. It was a great service from start to finish and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to sell their property in Mosman or surrounding areas.
We woke up feeling great and incredibly happy with the result. The price has totally exceeded our expectations. And you were amazing on Friday - and it was your day off! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks again Lucy...we really cannot believe how fantastic the result was and just how amazing you were in getting the buyer over the line. Thank you!
Nat and Chris
