My Name is Zephry Ciappara;

I have recently sold my property 66 Sweeney Ave Plumpton through Hilton Parkes First National, shop 43 Plumpton.

The property which came on the market 13-04-09 with a contract being locked 3 weeks later, was my home for 12 years I have been considering updating for a while, finally I found the property to suit my needs, after considering my options and shopping around I decide to sell my property through Hilton Parkes, so I made an appointment to have an agent come to my home.

The agent who I signed up with and also looked after my contract and needs was Marcelo Fiore, whom was honest, very polite and friendly from the start, I believe it is very important to have someone you can depend on and trust.

After meeting and talking with the rest of the sales team Gavin Harlow, Kenny Gwynn, Kim Couper and Michael Talarico I was more than confident I had made the right decision, after only a few days on the market with lots of interest and offers I eventually had an offer which I could not refuse, with the price I was more than pleased with, all I had to do is start to pack.

I’d like to thank the whole of Hilton Parkes as a Group/Team for their honest, friendly, professional and reliable efforts and I would not hesitate to purchase or sell another property through you guys again as the whole settlement went as smooth as can possibly be.

I highly recommend to anyone, Hilton Parkes at Plumpton if you are considering in buying or selling as you will not be disappointed in the end result.

If anyone would like to contact me on behalf of Hilton Parkes, I’d be more than happy to answer any questions.         

Yours Sincerely

I would like to take a moment to thank Mark Holgate and the team at Hilton Parkes First National for all of your help with the sale of our property.

When we were looking around for an agent for our property, we spoke to several in the area, and got several different opinions on what price to place our house on the market for. Mark was the only agent we trusted and felt comfortable with, and he happened to give us a higher price (up to $20,000 more), than any other agent.

We sold the house in less than three months for a fantastic figure, and it was exactly within the estimated range quoted. We felt that if we went with one of the other agents, and their lower price, we would have lost out on up to $15,000.

We thank you for everything you have done and would have no trouble in recommending Hilton Parkes to anyone who is interested in selling their property.

Karin MacDonald

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team at Hilton Parkes First National for the speed and efficiency with which you helped sell my home. Our home was priced right - from the start, and it showed with inspections in the first days of being on the market, and an offer – and subsequent sale –within just three days of the home being for sale. Other agents had told us the home would sell for $20,000 less than your sales team had estimated, yet your office managed to not only sell the home quickly, but also get very close to our asking price. We were certainly more than happy with the final result, and would have no hesitation recommending your office to anyone else who might be considering selling their home.

Jack Chen

Just wanted to send a quick note as a big thank you to both you and your staff at Hilton Parkes First National and in particular Mark Holgate for the excellent service we have experienced through your office during the sale of our house. Mark always kept us up to date on what was happening, and the steady stream of potential buyers was amazing, he is a very patient, understanding and caring person and sales agent. Sarah was another friendly voice on the other end of the phone whom we also came to know and love. I think it is important that you make your customers feel as reassured and comfortable as possible about the sale of their house, and that is a very strong point all of your staff displayed so well. You were all like a big extended family of ours, whom we respected highly. I think it is also commendable that we got so close to the asking price especially in today's market, obviously another sign of the true salesmanship your office has to offer. So once again thank you, and we look forward to dropping in to see you all and say goodbye before we relocate to Queensland. With Cheers,

Respect and Appreciation

Donna Harris & Craig Reeves

I would like to thank you all for your great service provided in the fast sale of our home.

In our wildest dreams we did not imagine our home would have sold so fast at a premium price.

I would not hesitate to recommend Hilton Parkes First National to anyone who wants a professional and friendly service.

Yours sincerely

Wendy Littlehales

This is just a short note to say thank you for the supreme effort that you put into selling our house.

After many attempts previously at trying with other agents we had found HILTON PARKES PLUMPTON to have sold our house within 10 days of going on the market.

We found that whatever was asked of Michael and his team was always done with a prompt and courteous service and anything that needed to be done was done promptly and efficiently.

So in finishing I would like to say that I would recommend HILTON PARKES PLUMPTON as your choice in Real Estate Agents and I would like to sincerely that you for the effort you put in for us.

Yours sincerely

Greg & Grace Cameron

We were very fortunate enough to have Ms Debbie Frankenberg to assist us in this endeavour.

Despite the many hardships that seemed to come our way during this time, we were always able to talk to Ms Frankenberg and resolve the problem.

We would gladly recommend her to anyone without hesitation as her energetic personality and sense of humour and dedication made it a much easier task that it would have been otherwise.

Paul & Roslyn Wilson

David & Karen Ward would like to thank all the staff at Hilton Park Real Estate Plumpton for all their help in selling our house at Dharruk. We had our ups and downs but you always kept us motivated to ensure our house was sold. We would also like to compliment all the staff at the real estate for being so courteous and friendly and always worked together to sell our house.

We would definitely recommend you to anyone interested in selling or purchasing a property because of the high level of customer service and commitment dedication and time you give to your customers. In particular we would like to say thank you to Debbie, Mark, Michael & Eddie for all there time and dedication.

Karen & David Ward

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael, Theresa, Mark and staff at Hilton Parkes First National for the professional service given to both Stephen and myself on the sale of our home.

From the time our property was listed, both Michael & Mark had potential buyers through our home during the first weekend, we were also very impressed with the advertising exposure our home was given.

Due to the fact that we also moved interstate during this time, we were very comfortable in leaving our home in your care.

We did not have to wait long for a successful sale as the sale was priced correctly for the current market.

We have since moved on with our “sea change” and are currently in the process of buying our new home in Cairns.

Thank you again for your excellent service and friendship.  We would recommend Hilton Parkes First National to anyone wishing to buy or sell property.

Thank you and best wishes

Yvette & Stephen McCullough

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help, kindness and courtesy which was shown to us when we sold our home in Hebersham.

Having lived in the same property for almost 32 years my husband and I had no idea where to being with regard to marketing our home.  I can only say that from the outset we were extremely impressed by the professionalism, courtesy and kindness we experienced at the hands of your team.  To find a team prepared to go out of their way to help us as much as your did was just incredible.  I honestly did not believe that level of professionalism still existed and have not hesitated to recommend your services to everyone we know who is considering selling or buying a property.

It remains an inadequate word to express our gratitude, but thank you all, very much.

Regards,

Pam F Ruediger

We wish to applaud the effort and time put in by Hilton Parkes First National to sell our property with great efficiency and dedication. 

Not only were we constantly informed of what was happening regarding the sale of our property, but we were treat with respect and courtesy by the friendly staff and sales team.

We wish to thank Hilton Parkes First National and would not hesitate to use them in future sales of property.

Sincerely

David & Jenny Wyer

We'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Hilton Parkes First National for the outstanding service provided by Kim and Lisa in helping us Lease our home.

From the very first time we contacted Hilton Parkes and spoke to Kim, we were immediately put at ease by the attitude of care and professionalism displayed. This was reinforced when Kim and Lisa came to our home to provide us with an appraisal and speak to us about the next steps. We learnt that Kim and Lisa had been in the business for many years and we admired the passion they had for their work and the knowledge and experience they could impart through successfully leasing many homes. We felt they genuinely cared about finding us the right tenant. We had no question in our minds that Hilton Parkes would help us find a good tenant for our home.

Leasing your home can be somewhat of an invasive task especially when having to trust a real estate to respectfully show your home to strangers. Lisa and Kim approached this very sensitively and professionally. We felt completely comfortable handing over the keys and were not disappointed by the manner in which they carried out appointments, ensuring that we were notified when showing people through and also giving us daily updates of progress.

We have no hesitation recommending Hilton Parkes First National to anyone leasing their home. We sincerely wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the outstanding service!

Best regards

Angeline & David Wilkes

Plumpton

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for all the hard work and dedication you, and your team at Hilton Parkes First National real estate displayed during the sale campaign of our Oakhurst property.

As you are aware, we had seriously contemplated listing with another agent, whose fees were less than your, but decided against this, believing the old adage ‘ you get what you pay for’.  At the time, we believed that your dedication and enthusiasm would be advantageous in the campaign to sell our home.  We had not anticipated however, the amount of hard work and effort that you would put into selling our property, and we are now convinced that we made the right decision in choosing you and Hilton Parkes First National real estate.

We are confident in recommending you to any future vendors and we wish you all the best for the future.

Yours thankfully,

Both my wife and I are more than impressed with the professional and dedicated service that you have provided to us in managing our property. As you know we have been with Hilton Parkes for over 9 years and would not consider anyone else to manage our property. Thank you to you and your team for your support, advice and incredible service, which you continue to provide to us in managing our investment, we certainly appreciate it.

Well done and again thank you.

Kindest regards

Brian & Wendy Graham

Just a small note to say many thanks for all your hard work in looking after our rental property in Hassall Grove from 2006-2007.

You did a wonderful, fully professional job in looking after the property and always keeping us fully advised of everything that we needed to know.

We were completely comfortable in having our property rented out by Hilton Parkes in Plumpton and especially with it being managed by yourself.

Keep up the good work!

Yours faithfully,

Fiona Alexander

Being 2000kms away from our property it is great peace of mind knowing that the property is being taken care of by such a team of professionals. We can always be sure that the requests of our tenants are being taken care of in a timely manner and the feedback we get regarding maintenance and upkeep is invaluable as we cannot just drive past and look at the property. The communication for Hilton Parkes is always friendly and informative and nothing is ever too much trouble. Having the team at Hilton Parkes look after our property means that there are no headaches involved in being a landlord. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend them or list any other properties with them.

Regards,

Helen Townsend

Great job guys, never had a doubt with you in ‘our corner’, thanks so much for all you do… a job well done.

Emma & Jayson

When I’ve lost all trust and confidence from my previous agent, the management team at Hilton Parkes were more than happy to take me on board.

They were very understanding of my situation and have worked side by side with me through some very challenging tasks. They were very experienced and knowledgeable in their field.

I also find everyone on the team very pleasant to talk to, answered all my queries promptly, always courteous, well presented, and very professional.

I would highly recommend the management team at Hilton Parkes because of the high standard of service they have provided.

Judy Silva

Just a note to say a HUGE “THANK YOU” for your amazing work in selling our home (even in the economic slowdown of today).

We were very impressed by your loyalty, punctuality and most of all the results.  You were able to sell our place in 4 days and even get the possible price (much more than we anticipated).

We trusted you completely with our biggest asset and you delivered with flying colours,  the process was very smooth and communication was thorough, open and committed (never left us in the lurch).

Gavin, your loyalty, punctuality and professionalism was very much appreciated.  We are very glad to have chosen you and your team to look after us. 

We whole heartedly recommend you

Thank you so much, look after yourself and all the best for the future

Kind regards,

Michael and Rosa Colaluce

Thank you for your wonderful help during the sale of my house, to get over the advertising price was a lovely surprise and selling the house within 3 days of it being advertised was outstanding.  Once again thank you to you and your team and would gladly promote anyone to use your service.

Kind regards,

My husband and I had been thinking for quite some time whether to put our house on the market. Then one afternoon we received a pamphlet from Hilton Parkes and decided to see what our house was worth in today’s market. So we decided to give Marcelo Fiore a call and organise a market appraisal. Marcelo viewed our home and was honest from the start and told us what houses were going for in our area and also explained to us what we should and shouldn’t do to our home to put it on the market. At no time did we ever feel pressured to put our house on the market. Marcelo explained to us what we needed to do and all the fees involved in selling and buying a home.

With this information we thought about what we wanted and we also went to other agents to see what they thought. We phoned Marcelo back one week later and put our house on the market on a Friday. All the inspections were by appointment only on the Saturday so we did not have people looking for the sake of it. By Saturday afternoon our house was sold and we got our asking price which made us very happy. We were not expecting to sell our home that quickly. Marcelo then kept us informed of what was happening at all times and if we had any questions or queries he happily answered them. We would recommend Marcelo to anyone selling or buying a home and found him trustworthy, pleasant and professional at all times. We could not have asked for a better agent and we would like to thank him for everything he did and helping things to go as smoothly as possible.

Many Thanks

Connie and Richard Alexander

We would like to thank you for your professional approach while helping up to find a home.

We felt that you listened to our concerns in an understanding and considerate way.  All our dealings with Kenny were handeled in an honest and friendly manner.

I wish all agents had your integrity and friendly nature.

So thanks again for the advice.

Darren Ellis

I have recently purchased a property from your real estate.  I would like to thank your salesperson (Gavin Harlow) for his wonderful service, throughout the process of the sale. 

Mr Gavin made buying my first home a good experience.  He would get back to me promptly with any enquiry I had, and was even willing to allow me access to the property on his day off.  He was always polite and courteous and I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a property.

Thank you once again for the great service.

Regards,

Jakline Mickaiel

We would like to thank you very much for helping us to sell our first home.  From the first appraisal meeting with you, right through to the settlement you have been great, with honest advise and excellent communication.

We are very pleased you achieved the amount we wanted for the house, we are also very grateful for such a quick sale (ONLY 20 days on the market).

We will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a reputable and honest agent.

Thanks

Justine & Christine Johns

I would sincerely like to personally thank Michael & Theresa and all the staff in helping us sell our home at Gale Place, Oakhurst.

Thanks to your advice regarding presentation and about the price we should start advertising helped us get the highest price and in a couple of days, from start to finish.  You were always reliable and with regular feedback we knew where we were every step of the sales process. 

All our questions were answered, and the price we got was absolutely remarkable.  It made us feel like the buyers paid our commission.  Thank you for helping us buy our new home which was once again stress free.

You sold our home in a couple of days which was excellent.  I would totally recommend you to all my friends and anyone who wants to sell or buy a home.

Thank you once again and I will definitely be buying and sselling through you again

Emma H

Congratulations on an excellent job, with the sale of my property at Noumea Street, Lethbridge Park.  I would like to let you know that the service provided by Gavin was very professional and every attention to detail was given, he was always avaliable to speak to me and answer my questions, and even put up with me through a few stressful moments. 

I would highly recommend Gavin to anyone with regrad to selling or buying a property.  I was very impressed with the level of information I received from your office with regard to updates and advertising etc. 

I can assure you Gavin and yourselves have left me with a very good experience.  Thank you to all

Yours sincerly

We truly made the right decision in choosing Hilton Parkes First National to represent us in the property market for the sale of our house.

Our experience of smooth and hassle-free process in selling our home, being our first time in the market, is amazing.  You truly exceeded our expectations.

It is my pleasure to provide a written reference for Kenny Gwynn.

From the outset, Kenny worked diligently to find a buyer, taking 12 prospective purchasers through the property on the first weekend.  He kept me updated through all stages of the negotiations and I believe that the highest possible market price was achieved by him.

As this was an investment property that had been managed by Hilton Parkes First National Real Estate for a number of years, Kenny was also required to negotiate mutually suitable access with the tenant via the Property Management Department.

While I have the skills to sell the property myself, I did not have the time or direct access to buyers.  I needed to find someone who would diligently represent my best interests and get me the best price.

Why did I choose Kenny? He turned up on time, he was well mannered and he took a great deal of time to listen to me.  I also knew that Kenny participated in a continuing real estate education program that his Principal, Michael Talarico insists all his staff undertakes on a regular basis.  Having group of trained negotiators represent me was not only important, but very reassuring.

Most importantly though, Kenny is very personable, relatable, trustworthy and proved beyond a doubt that he has a high level of integrity.  I felt comfortable that buyers would like him too and trust his guidance and wealth of knowledge.

In an industry where attitude of "sale at any cost" prevails, Kenny proved himself worthy of my trust and I was glad that I appointed him as my agent.

My Advice to anyone wanting to sell their home is to call Kenny and feel safe in the knowledge that he and the team at Hilton Parkes First National will negotiate the best sale price.

So, if you want an agent who:

• Will work for YOU (not the buyer)
• Will proactively find a buyer (not wait for a buyer to walk in the door)
• Will negotiate with the buyer to pay more (not expect you to accept the first offer)
• You can trust with your asset (and your peace of mind)

I am very happy with the outcome of the sale of my investment property.  Thank you Kenny!

Yours sincerely

Debbie Frankenberg - Director

Appreciation of Mr Gavin Harlow

On behalf of my family I would like to personally thank you Gavin for your recent contribution on selling our property at 10 Drake Place, Shalvey.

This event could not have been successes without the help of your donated time.  I do thank you again for taking the time to talk to us during and after the whole process of selling our property.

I sincerely appreciate the time you spent reviewing our goals and recommending strategies for achieving them on specific period.  Your advice was very helpful and gave us a new perspective on available selling opportunities.  Any additional suggestions you offered on this issue was very constructive and we did welcome them with respect on you and your real estate agency.

On your both a professional and personal skills appeared that you may have great ability to beat any other real estate agents in Western Sydney in near future.  Again, thank you  so much for your help.  I greatly appreciate the assistance you have provided me.

Best regards,

Udaya Munasinghe

I am writing this letter to you to thank you so much in your help in selling our property at 186a Great Western Hwy, colyton.

As I have mentioned to you before we had our property listed with Raine and Horne St Marys for 4 months and we had a few inspections on the property but never any luck with them as they could not do there job as well as you.

When I first Rang Hilton Parkes real estate to inquire about selling the property through your agency, My details were taken and you rang me almost immediately, After our conversation on the phone you came to see us and the property, I knew you were the man for the job, As the way you approached the situation at hand and by the way you were speaking, I said to myself this guy is the man that will sell the property.

Within 24 hours you brang the sales team to inspect and the property went on the market, It was on the market for only 19 Days, Not only did you sell the property so quick but you managed to get me $10,000 more than my asking price. Gavin on behalf of my family and myself I would like to thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into the task at hand.

I strongly recommend you to anyone buying or selling a property. The next time I buy or sell I would most definatley be contacting you. Once again Thank you so much, I cannot put into words how greatful we are. You are worth your weight in gold.

Thank you

Josip Banovac

Just a quick note to say thank you for all of your help with selling our home.

We were very pleased with the service your firm provided and are very happy with the price we achieved.  Please also pass on our thanks to the rest of the team for their help during this time.

we also found the services provided to be very professional and would have no hesitation in recommending Hilton Parkes to others.

As this was our first home and we had never sold a property before we were happy with the way you helped us and answered all our questions and made the whole process easy during what for us was a very daunting time.

Best regards,

Justin, Meg, Nicholas, Hayley and Charlotte Fox

We wanted a silent sale, after having another agent out who wanted big bold advertising and open homes (which we did not want).  He even quoted a lower price for a quick sale. 

I gave Hilton Parkes a call as I got letter saying that they had a buyer who wanted to buy in the area.  Gavin came out and promised to do what we asked of him (ie to sell our home without advertising and for a good price).  He did just that!

Within three days my property was sold for $10,000  above the guarantee and $15,000 more than the other agent quoted price.

I would like to thank Michael, Gavin and the team at Hilton Parkes First National for all the help they have given us.  We would recommend Gavin Harlow and Hilton Parkes First National to anybody who wants to buy or sell a property.

Best Wishes

Julie Robinson

I write to thank you on the recent sale of my property at Plumpton.  I especially wish to thank your salesman, Mr. Gavin Harlow, for all his assistance in the sale process.

Mr. Harlow was very professional throughout the entire sale process.  He was available at all times to answer any query about the sale.  He went beyond the call of what was ordinarily expected of a salesman.

During difficult negotiations he maintained a cool head and took steps that ensured the property reached its full market potential.  His happy “can do” demeanour ensured that everyone was kept informed at all times.

Mr. Harlow did an outstanding job and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of selling a property.

Yours faithfully.

Bernard Glennon.
