To whom it may concern,

I have had several dealings with Ian in the past few years both buyer and seller.

He has a pleasant and outgoing personality and quickly develops a friendly rapport with others.

He maintains a sound knowledge of the market and I have found his advice accurate and reliable.

His selling and negotiation skills are of a high order. (I do admire his closing ability!)

I would rank him as one of the top professionals in the real estate business.

To whom it may concern,

We have recently worked with Ian Thornhill and Frances Li as the listing agent in selling our house at 28 Rangiatea Road, Epsom. We are really impressed by the high quality of service they have provided. They are organised, systematic and always keeping prompt and effective communication during the whole process. They are working hard, efficient, trustworthy and excellent in interpersonal skills. They take every step seriously and consistent to the end. Their positive attitude and politeness have made the whole process much less stressful. In addition, their different working techniques, individual strategies and cultural background have matched perfectly which has made a very unique, effective and artistic style of their job. Overall, it was enjoyment working with Ian and Frances. I am amazed by the high professional standard of their input which has changed my impression dramatically towards the real east industry.

Thanks again for Ian and Frances' excellent service.

Yours truly,

"We would like to express our strong appreciation to Ian Thornhill, Francis Li and Barfoot & Thompson Realty for their excellent service in selling our home at 5 Bracken Avenue, Epsom. We required the difficult combination of both a very rapid sale and a top dollar offer on our home in order to achieve our goal of moving to our next selected dream house. They listened carefully to our needs. Incorporating Barfoot & Thompson extensive group of realtors throughout surrounding suburbs and their large existing client base, Ian and Francis executed a blitz marketing program that yielded 4 competitive offers after only 24 hours. Throughout the process, Ian and Francis conducted themselves with utmost professionalism. They arrived at our initial meeting extremely well prepared with an extensive detailed listing of historical comparable sales, examples of effective marketing materials and a proposed marketing plan that matched our needs. Their extensive knowledge of the market was evident quickly in our discussion building our confidence. It is without any reservation that we plan to utilize Ian and Francis in any future realty needs."
