Dear Barbara,
Thank you for the skill and dedication you demonstrated in your successful efforts to sell our house.
Another local agent failed to find a buyer. Even though we had given them a generous extension of time, so we made the move to Hudson Bond.
It proved to be a good move.
The more competent attitude of the Hudson Bond team was immediately apparent, and as ...
time went by it was pleasing to us that you did not share the only sales strategy of the previous Agent, which was, “Drop the Price”.
As a professional team you know that successful selling is dependent on finding the right buyer, and you did just that.
So now we are heading north with a song in our hearts, cash in the bank and a feeling of gratitude to you and the other team members for a good job well done.
Yours faithfully,
Valerie and Graham Lawrence

RE: Hudson Bond Real Estate Ltd.
We recently sold our home through Hudson Bond Real Estate and were very pleased with the professional and courteous manner in which they handled all aspects of the sale.
We would also like to express our thanks to Joseph Yap. Joseph’s conduct throughout the sales process was always professional, courteous and efficient, a delight to deal with.
It is ...
without hesitations that we would recommend Hudson Bond Real Estate to anyone wishing to sell their home.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Danny,
We were impressed with the service provided by Hudson Bond and the way the business operates.
We were happy to know that all agents at Hudson Bond were working to sell our property in a timely and efficient manner.
Furthermore, we felt secure with how our property was advertised and the way Hudson Bond ensured that our property was not ‘over exposed’ to the market.
We liked the fact that only ...
serious buyers looking for a home were taken for an inspection rather than Hudson Bond employing open inspections.
Overall we experienced good service, a fast sale(less than 1 week) and we received a price for our property which exceeded our expectations.
We commend Danny and the team at Hudson Bond and we would not hesitate to sell again with Hudson Bond.
Thanks,
Charles & Frances Azzopardi

Dear Steve,
I would like to thank you for all your time and effort that you extended to me in the sale of my home. It was gratifying to find someone who was not only interested in selling a home but also the needs of the clients during that specific time. For my family it was a trying time not only because of trying to keep a house spotless during this time, nothing out of place, but also due to shift work and other various problems that arise ...
in families. You went out of your way to try to work around us, so things were easier and I appreciate this greatly. I found you to be outstandingly professional in carrying out your job and your down to earth attitude was a breath of fresh air.
Prior to your company taking on the sale of my home I had it listed with another real estate agent. Their attitude was some what les desirable. They would not turn up to house openings that they had arranged and did not ring me to let me know they were not coming until after the event. At one house opening they turned up over an hour and a half late and I had to show people around the house myself. Another time their agent feel asleep on my couch during an opening. Incredible isn't it.
On the sale of my former home, another agent rather high profile agency that supports a bear totally ignored the fact that I was the owner of the house they were selling. They advertised it for over $200,000 less than I wanted for it in the newspaper. They brought hundreds of people through my home, which I might add, had been newly painted throughout, as well as all the carpet removed and a glass mirror finished Tasmania Oak floor which had been not long finished, only for me to find finger prints all over the walls newly painted doors scratched and marks in parts of the floor from shoes. When I questioned them as to these people having the money I wanted for the house as I would prefer a hand full of genuine buyers to hundreds of nosey busy bodies, they said trust us we know what we are doing, look at all the interest. Yes well the only interest I saw was an auction with lots of buyers all in the wrong price range. Then they had the nerve to try and pressure me into selling. The only thing they were interested in were their stats.
So you can see I haven't a really good impression of Real Estate Agents, and it was so relieving to find one(yourself) who not only actually cared for a change but was realistic, down to earth and honest.
I have no reservations in recommending you to anyone who wishes to sell their home; they could not be in better hands.
Yours Sincerely,
Sandra Howard

Dear John,
We would like to thank you and your team for your professionalism, courtesy, devotion and tenacity.
Even though selling our house took longer than expected, your team made us feel that you were always with us, even through our own periods of frustration and doubt.
John and Joseph, in particular, were unfailing in their efforts and we also greatly appreciated the wonderful support from Barbara and Steve.
We would ...
also like to give special thanks to John and Steve for helping us get through the final building and pest inspections.
On a personal level everybody- without expectation- treated us like close friends and we believe the resulting atmosphere of trust and mutual understanding contributed greatly to the successful completion of the sale transaction of our house.

I was referred to Danny Demir through a mutual friend. I had 3 other agents to give me an appraisal on my property. Danny's quote was above the other agents. I told him of the lower quotes and he explained how he came to the higher quote, which to me was a logical explanation.
I decided to allow Danny to market my property as I felt confident that he would try his utmost to obtain as close as possible to the higher price.
The agents that ...
I dealt with from Hudson Bond were all professional, courteous and kept me informed after each inspection.
My property sold in approximately 10 days for a price that I was very happy with.
My experience in selling my home through Danny and Hudson Bond was most rewarding. When I am ready to buy another property I will definitely contact Danny and the team.

Dear Barbara,
On behalf of Helen and myself I am writing to express our sincere thanks for the wonderful service you provided us personally in the recent sale of our townhouse.
The attention to detail that you gave us, the way in which you listened and understood our wishes about selling, and then bringing the right type of buyer to view the property, were all first class.
As you are aware the property sold within 2 days ...
to the first person you brought along, and it really was due to your excellent efforts that this occurred.
Helen and I would have no hesitation in using Hudson Bond, and you directly,
Thanking you once again.
Yours sincerely,

Joseph was the best agent we have dealt with, he listened and acted on our instructions, if we said "No inspections" for a given period of time, we got no calls for inspections, a simple thing but amazingly difficult for most agents.
We did not require lots of feedback, we were not interested in every person's opinion of our property and Joseph understood this and was able to share with us what was important and no ...
more.
Not only was Joseph an effective communicator, he was also a good negotiator. The negotiation process was quick, simple and very effective.
Joseph - We wish you every success.

Dear Paul & Barbara,
We wish to thank both of you for the recent successful sale of our house. We were thinking about what it is that really made Hudson Bond achieve a result for us where others may clearly fail. The reasons are quite simple.
-
Hudson Bond gave a clear written and guaranteed valuation on the property where all of the other agent's response to this aspect of the sale was vague. This is perhaps the ...
first important step when selling.
- Paul did not ask for anything from us when listing the property. This signified servicing our needs was your priority. This avoided advertising budgets that merely promote the agents name and not your property.
- The agency is always open for enquiries. In fact during the Christmas - New Year period when all the other agents were closed Barbara was sitting in the office ready to field enquiries.
- The use of the internet without addresses is a key tool. This means that all interested parties must phone to enquire about the property and can be followed up rather than just "drive by" never to be seen again. This also improves security of your home.
- The fact that Hudson Bond only brought buyers to the house for inspections rather than having useless "open for inspections".
- Hudson Bond focused on buyers and did not waste time with expensive and ultimately useless "marketing campaigns".
For us it was reassuring to know that when a buyer was brought to our home the agent would deal with the one buyer at a time and if they were interested follow through until a conclusion is reached. The agents that use open for inspections as a means to sell houses are in a hurry to either answer their mobile phones or rush to the next open for inspection.
Barbara, your enthusiasm and understanding of the quality and value of our home was of course the ultimate reason for the successful sale. Your sincere approach when dealing with us demonstrated that buyers would feel happy, secure and confident to deal with you.
Following our experience with Hudson Bond we would have no hesitation in using your services again if we had to sell another house the area. In fact we do not know why anyone would bother to waste their time and money with other agents.
Kind Regards,
Basil & Miriam Port

Dear John,
We would like to congratulate you and your team at Hudson Bond for getting us our dream price for our home.
When we were first referred to you and your company from our friend whom you sold their home in a short time, we dare not hoped for a similar outcome. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered our dream price by a genuine buyer in just two days. We were thrilled with the result. This is a testament to the dedication and effectiveness ...
of you and the team at Hudson Bond.
Please thank all your colleagues, especially Joseph, Director Paul and all your most professional sales team in achieving a great outcome for us. We will certainly recommend Hudson Bond Real Estate to all our friends wishing to sell their homes.
Wish you and all at Hudson Bond a Very Merry Christmas and a most Happy New Year 2007.
Thanks and Regards,

To John,
We interviewed 3 different agents, but we decided on Hudson Bond due to low key marketing strategy, that is not costly, but effective. We were indicated that the average sale takes 49 days. Ours went in 14 days and we were happy with the outcome.

Dear John,
It was a very lucky when I met you in your office at Hudson Bond in Doncaster. Your approach and your understanding of selling my home of 50 years was made so much easier for me. The time given and the considerations of my needs in regards to buyers coming through by appointment only, meant I knew what would be happening the next day so I could plan ahead. Thank you also for the feedback on each days results. I did not dream my home would sell so quickly but, then you as my agent (and friend) I could not go ...
wrong. Thank you also, to the other members of the team. I would highly recommend you and Hudson Bond to everybody who is thinking of selling their property.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Mrs Beverley Dyball

Dear Paul,
We just wanted to thank you for your time and effort in helping us sell our home. This was our first home and we had no real experience with real estate agents. All we heard was the stories about the tricks they use, and how "you can't trust them". Thankfully you came to our rescue! You were open and clear about the entire process, and your estimate for our home matched our independent valuation. Your prices guarantee gave us confidence in you and your staff. Without advertising or open inspections, our house sold in ...
just four days, and we were thrilled with the final price!
Thanks again,
Karen & Richard

Dear Paul,
I wish to thank and congratulate you and your team for the way you were able to sell my home in just one month.
Special thanks to Barbara Love for the initial introduction to you firm, and then to John Kendirian for his effort in carrying out the actual sale.
It was a professional operation from the beginning and I'm very happy with the result.

Dear Steve,
You knocked one day on our door and approached us to see if we were thinking of selling. It was some time before we were going to sell but because we felt comfortable with you we began the process early.
You brought 5 buyers through our home and you found the one that really loved it. You negotiated back and forth with the buyer and then the property was sold.
Thankyou Steve for a stress free, no pressure experience.
All the best,
Giuseppe & Maria Migliorisi

Joseph and the team were professional, efficient and proactive in selling our home. We had 4 good offers in 4 days. We were extremely happy with the result.
We chose Hudson Bond because the method of sale used achieves a better result and the communication between the agents and ourselves was excellent.
We would recommend Hudson Bond to anyone considering selling their home.

We have bought and sold with Hudson Bond in the past and got fantastic outcomes, and have dealt with Joseph the whole way. It all happened so fast, we still can't believe it, but with your help we got the outcome we wanted.
Joseph is great, he listened to what we wanted and advised us as to what was best.
We agree with the 'No Sale - No Charge' approach because people can't afford to get bad outcomes with their homes ...
and then have to pay for it.
In the feedback we were given everything was explained step by step and we were informed of everything.
Your commitment is what every home buyer/seller wants - Thank You! We will be recommending you to everyone; we want them to be as happy with their sale or buy as we are!
THANK YOU!!
Your friends,
Omar & Mercedes Bresolin Bulleen
