After a meeting with David we were struck by his knowledge

"My family and I had no doubts that in the current “hot” market we would definitely need help to buy our new home. Prices were going crazy, we were spending so much time on the internet and looking in the paper, we were already feeling the pressure."

"After a meeting with David we were struck by his knowledge of property, his friendliness, and honesty. Our decision to select the Platinum Service was one we have not regretted.David worked tirelessly to find a suitable family home in the Glen Iris/Ashburton area. We were kept informed throughout, and David turned out to be a great sounding board allowing us to talk through what we were thinking. He spoke with us every few days and provided us with a list of potential properties every week; and nothing seemed like too much trouble. This meant that we felt in control and not stressed. Once he found the property meeting our needs, David took control of liaising with the agent, getting the low down on the campaign and potential competitors. Making the entire process so much easier, he also visited us at home the night before the auction to discuss what our limit was and talk us through the auction process. On the day there were 6 other bidders. Astute Buyers Advocates managed to secure the property for us at $40,000 less than we would have paid. But it is difficult to put a price on the stress, disappointment and angst we would have had if David and John had not been in control of the entire process for us. "
