How memories are made...

“In late 2014 we decided to sell our investment property and Mark Dawes from R&W Alexandria|Waterloo was our choice. Mark has vast experience in the area and his knowledge and enthusiasm were apparent from our first meeting. We were impressed by the marketing strategy he proposed and we followed his recommendation for refreshing the apartment interior and having it styled. We used the tradespeople Mark reccommended and he coordinated the work so as to minimise the vacancy period and bring it to market in the peak selling period. The result was the unit was sold after the first open day at a price we were very thrilled with. It was a pleasure dealing with Mark and his staff and we would recommend them highly. Regards, Tony & Sure Bell”
