It's always lovely for an agent to have a thank you from a buyer that's happy the seller was using them for their sale! It really isn't until you come to buy do you realise how important it is that the agent marketing a property is proactive as it really can make or break a sale. Thank you so much for your kind words and highlighting the excellent job Elaine does with progressing our sales. ...
