Thank you, Chris Hansord and team, for the smooth settlement and purchase of property. I greatly appreciate your professionalism and prompt assistance throughout the process. This is in particular given the different time zone due to the interstate purchase. I would highly recommend Chris and the team to customers looking to purchase in WA.

In June this year Laura Gant assisted us with settling on our new apartment and she did an excellent job. She was very quick to deal with each task and kept us well informed each time she completed those task. When we just sold our investment property office in August, it was a no brainer as to who we’d use to do that settlement too. Once again Laura excelled. We would highly recommend Laura as she is professional, and the flat rate settlement fee was very fair.
