I recently had the pleasure of working with Laura Gaunt at Flat Rate Settlements for the purchase of Lot 100 in WA. She provided fantastic service and did a really good job managing the entire process. Laura was always on the front foot, taking the initiative when needed, which meant I never had to chase her up. Working with her was a true breath of fresh air. As a very busy Development Manager, I can tell you that this level of proactive, seamless service is invaluable. Highly recommended!
