Reference

Dear Fiona

On behalf of our entire family, we want to extend our deepest thanks for everything you've done for us over the years.
From managing our family property with such care—always looking after the tenants, organizing repairs, and keeping on top of the financial side—to more recently working so hard to secure a sale, you have truly gone above and beyond at every step.
Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion have never gone unnoticed.
It's been incredibly reassuring to have someone we could trust completely—someone who always acted in our best interests and treated the property like it was your own.
Your honesty, reliability, and tireless efforts mean more to us than we can put into words.
You've not only supported our parents but our entire family through what has been a significant chapter in our lives, and we will never forget your hard work and kindness.
It's been an absolute pleasure having you as our agent, and we are so grateful for everything you've done.

With heartfelt thanks,
Robert, Lia, and family
