Dear Kim, Â 2 Withers Street, Chiswick NSW 2046 Thank you for giving me the opportunity to submit my thoughts and recommendations for the above mentioned property. My view is that anyone can sell a property, however you want someone to represent you that you believe is going to maximise the sale price and extract as much from the market as possible. The market and the marketing have an impact on the outcome however so does the agent. Another important factor is doing business with people you trust and like. I look forward to the opportunity of working together when the time suits you to find the right buyer for your property. Yours sincerely,
Â
