Northern Beaches Real Estate Agents - Testimonials
" Original Message From: di basche Wednesday, March 05, 2008 10:57 AM To: Michelle Subject: Testimonial To whom it may concern. ( Michelle Edwards- Claus) I can not thank Michele enough for the wonderful way she sold our house, 40 Elimatta Road. Mona Vale in May 2007. She worked in so well with both of us, allowing us to feel we were part of the sale, her manner was always cheerful and positive, she communicated with us so well, always keeping us up to date on what was happening, we were very happy with the price she negotiated for us and best of all the whole experience was almost stress free! ! Let''s be honest selling a house is never stress free but this was fantastic! ! If I was selling in the area again, I would with out doubt be working with Michele, and would recommend her to anyone. The most important thing was being able to trust her, she had the key and got on with the job. Kind regards, Di Basche "
"41 Mona Vale Road, Mona Vale MARCH 2008 We bought and sold our property through Kerrie Patterson. We were first home-buyers and I found Kerrie to be honest and extremely pleasant to deal with. When it came time to sell our property our first and only thought was Kerrie Patterson. Her friendly, honest, nothing is a problem attitude made it an easy choice in choosing her. She was spot on in marketing the property resulting in a great sale price. We highly recommend Kerrie and her excellent team at Patterson Morton and would happily deal with her again. Cheers KAY "
"17 February 2008 2/21 Seabeach Avenue, Mona Vale It is my pleasure to recommend Kerrie Patterson of Patterson Morton Real Estate to anyone looking for an outstanding agent to arrange the We of their home. Her honesty, integrity and professionalism are of the highest standard and she demonstrates all these qualities in a very pleasant manner. When I first dealt with Kerrie more than seven years ago I was planning to sell my home in another part of Sydney. She has a wide network of agents in other suburbs and was able to recommend an agent in my area who I did use and who provided excellent service resulting in a very successful outcome. After selling my previous home I told Kerrie what I was looking for - she kept me informed when anything which she thought might be suitable came onto the market. I bought the Mona Vale unit which I have just sold through Kerrie and found her, although acting for the vendor, most helpful to me, a prospective buyer. Because I was so impressed with Kerrie''s professionalism, honesty, local knowledge and pleasant manner I had no hesitation in engaging her as my agent when I decided to sell the unit six years later. I was very satisfied with the level of service and attention I received. For the short time my unit was on the market Kerrie was in constant communication with me. Because she has been in the Mona Vale area for a considerable time she was able to give me a realistic market appraisal. Her excellent negotiating skills were often needed with prospective buyers and all this resulted in a We within three weeks at a price I was very happy with. Kerrie did a great jab selling my unit. At all times she was enthusiastic and open, she kept me informed and recommended any actions she thought we should take to bring about a successful outcome. I would certainly use her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent agent. Lorraine Moloney "
"Hi Kerrie I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a BIG Thank you for everything you did for us during our recent sale of 12 ]acquelene Close, Bayview. We had every confidence in you selling our home from the moment it went on the market although to have exchanged within 10 days of it being advertised was beyond our expectations and really caught us by surprise. We are so pleased that we listened to your advice on how to market the property whkh ultimately resulted in a record price for the street. Your professionalism sets you apart from the chasing pack and we wish you every success. Kindest Regards on behalf of Leanne and myself Paul Paul Langley National Operations Manager "
"Greg and Rayma Bathurst To Whom It May Concern: 5th September 2007 I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kerrie, Alan and the team at Patterson Morton for making the sale of 6 Rowan St so quick and easy. On top of this, Kerrie achieved a price that was a staggering $150k more than we were quoted only weeks earlier by another real estate agent in Mona Vale. The other agent was obviously after a quick sale and did not have our best interests at heart. After pointing out a few major benefits of the property, he adjusted his valuation up by about $30k. My wife and I were completely under whelrned and decided to look around for another agent. Having dealt with Patterson Morton at an earlier auction, we decided to talk to Kerrie. What impressed us most was that Kerrie actually listened to why we needed to sell, what we thought the property might be worth and why, and that we needed a discreet sale. Showing genuine commonsense, Kerrie worked out a strategy and a price range for us that achieved an almost immediate result. Kerrie saw the similarities of our property to one they had auctioned recently, contacted some of the unsuccessful bidders and within a week, we had a sale at a price we were extremely happy with! Even after the contracts had been exchanged, the follow up from Kerrie and the team has been first class. We have been in constant communication throughout the process, before and after the sale. Nothing has been a problem. Kerrie and Alan are completely switched on and know the real estate market on the Northern Beaches. I would have no hesitation in using their services again, and would happily recommend Patterson Morton to anyone considering selling or buying a property. "

"To whom it may concern, The sale of a home is an extremely stressful experience for all concerned. For a variety of reasons we needed to sell two properties (residential and investment) at once! Normally double the stress, however, from our very first meeting with Kerrie and Alan we were at ease and extremely comfortable in giving them the responsibility of selling both assets. From discussing tactics to the operational issues of selling a home, Patterson Morton put us at ease with their advice and ideas for our situation. As the process rolled on we were very grateful to Kerrie for her tireless work ethic, the constant flow of information, the clear understanding of the possible scenarios that were unfolding and the value adding advice on how to handle the various situations that were arising with the sale of both houses. All issues were handled with the utmost professionalism and the results achieved with both houses were well above our expectations. So Kerrie and Alan, thank you so much for your commitment, service and understanding.Your knowledge of the industry and this area of Sydney is above anything I have encountered before and when you add this to your customer focus, user friendly attitude and energy, I would not hesitate to recommend Patterson Morton to anyone wishing to get the best result for their house. Received for the sale of 26 Loquat Valley Road, Bayview 2007 67a Woorarra Ave, Nth Narrabeen 2007 "
"Dear Kerrie & Alan, Todd and I want you to know how thankful we are for the fantastic job you have done in selling our house, the result that you got for us in only a week will change our lives forever. As you know I was very scared and nervous about selling our home but you eased our concerns and kept us informed every step of the way and I knew it was in the best possible hands and the end result confirms that. You are a complete professional with a passion and energy that cannot be matched by any other Real Estate Agent I know. Friends have asked us "What was your agent like?", and all I have to say is "GOOD, REALLY REALLY GOOD!" You will not only be our agent in the future but we consider you our friend as well. Thank you again and again and again, 50 Hillside Road, Newport "
"To Whom It May Concern Phil Keyes was the Real Estate Agent who sold my house in 2006 for one of the five highest prices in the area as listed in various real estate publications. Phil not only achieved this price but, did it in a very short time. The house sale was a divorce sale and as such, very volatile and emotional. Phil was extremely sensitive to that in every contact with us. I would say that Phil is outstanding as a Real Estate Agent in that he showed integrity and professionalism through every aspect of the sale. He gave accurate advice in a positive and realistic manner from start to finish. Elizabeth Pratt "

This is the 3rd property I have sold through Kerrie Patterson and Alan Morton over the past 10 years and am delighted with the excellent result achieved during May/ June 2007. Your Sincerely Scott J McConaghy "
"To Whom it May Concern I have known Kerry Patterson and Alan Morton for many years. I have engaged them on two occasions to sell properties, and have each time been extremely pleased with the result. Selling a house is balancing act between setting a low price to get a fast sale vs trying to get a higher price but being unable to attract a buyer. On the several other occasions I have used other agents to sell properties, and have found that they have confused the expression “working for the vendor” to mean “telling the vendor what they want to hear”. To the contrary, I found that a key strength of both Kerry and Alan is their ability to provide well considered and bal¬anced advice and information irrespective of whether it matches what I want to hear, or whether it fits in with my preconceived ideas of the current state of property values. For people like me, a house is a maj or asset that represents many years of hard work, and it''s sale involves a significant number of emotional and business decisions. In my busi¬ness life I routinely negotiate international business contracts. There are inevitably many unknown factors and gray ar¬eas, but I always try to base my decisions on trusted advice and known facts. Similarly, when selling a property, I feel that it is essential to have advice I can trust and up to date information. Kerry and Alan gave me that advice and information. Kerry has an extraordinary knowledge of Northern Beaches Real Estate going right back to her childhood when she used to walk her dog around the streets. She seems to know the history of every street, and has a strong understanding of the intangible “can''t quite put my finger on it” factors that make potential buyers either love or hate a house. She provided invaluable assistance on how to prepare my houses for sale. Alan on the other hand is a numbers man, armed with price histories and all the other relevant information that allowed me to make informed decisions. Both qualitatively, and quantitatively, Kerry and Alan have an in-depth understanding of Northern Beaches property. More importantly though, they made their knowledge useful to me by presenting it honestly and unfiltered, rather than just trying to keep me happy by telling me what I wanted to hear. The result on both occasions was that I sold my houses quickly, with a minimum of fuss, whilst still getting my desired price. I will absolutely be using them on the next occasion that I sell a house on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and I would strongly recommend Kerry and Alan for anyone intending to sell a property. Please feel free to contact me at any time in regard to this matter. Sincerely Philip Callender CEO, Phinza Pte Ltd Clark Special Economic Zone Pampanga, Philippines "
