Although it is now a few months since we left Canberra to live in Sydney, we would like to thank you for the outstanding service you provided in selling our much loved home in Kambah.
We are settling into our new surroundings in St Ives very happily but just want to acknowledge the care and support Paula Guy gave us in selling our home in Canberra and the eventual move to Sydney. We would not hesitate in recommending your Agency to anyone.
Kindest regards,

HI Karen
Just to say that we bought a house. I just wanted to thank you for the way that you treated us as we bumbled around in unfamiliar territory learning the ropes. Whenever we have bought or sold a house elsewhere we have come across agents who we thought might not be trustworthy, or worse. We can truthfully say that in the dozens of agents we have met in Canberra that has not applied once. We have met courtesy, patience and helpfulness, and would happily have trusted and relied on any of the agents we met. It may be unfair to pick you out from all the others for special thanks, but your advice at key times was pivotal to decisions we took which have left us delighted with the house we have bought. So thank you especially for your patience and help. And your industry in Canberra can take great credit for the high standards we met in every single agent we dealt with.

Hi Karen
We are writing to say thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling our house in Molineaux Place,Farrer. We can thoroughly recommend your services to anyone seeking to sell their property.
From our first meeting I knew you were the agent for us. You impressed as an achiever, the marketing plan was smart, and your rate was the best of all agents.
It was wonderful to have such an experienced Real Estate Agent representing us. You stood out as a capable and knowledgeable professional, your contacts are incredible, and your initiative is second to none.
Also, your marketing skills are amazing. As you know there were two other properties for sale in our cul-de-sac (both had unsuccessful auctions) prior to our house going on the market with you and our house sold first - and at the price you estimated.
Your support and assistance during the processes to settlement were greatly appreciated and also proves your high level of competence.
So, again, thank you so much, and also thanks to Trevor.
Sincerely, Rosanne and Alan Galbraith.

Dear Lynne,
I would like to record my great appreciation for the work you did in selling my townhouse in Swinger Hill.
I thought you handled everything professionally, promptly, and knowledgeably. The initial appraisal you made of the property turned out to be remarkably accurate, and the way you advertised it for sale could not in my opinion have been better. I think also that you conducted negotiations with prospective buyers with great tact and care, and I was very pleased with and grateful for your diligence in keeping me informed of developments leading up to the exchange of contracts.
In short I am really glad that you did it all so well. The next time I want to sell a house I will be looking to you to do it all again!
Best wishes, and thanks again,
Ross

Lynne - you are the most amazing agent we have ever come across - having bought and sold with you, we can honestly say you are the most professional and ethical agent in real estate. And you are gifted when it comes to sales - your energy and drive is extremely apparent. No other agent came close to the number of \'show throughs\', follow up calls or offers on the table that you presented to us. Your weekly reports also kept us completely informed. In the last two years we have bought and sold 6 properties - thank you for making this the easiest real estate transaction we have ever had. A totally stress free process and we are living in New Zealand!! T Lawton. New Zealand

Selling can be stressful but Lynne made our sale stress free. At all times she was professional and maintained excellent communications, we knew what was going on. Perhaps most importantly Lynne skillfully balanced our interests with those of the buyer and we got full price.

Dear Lynne, I just wanted to thank you again for your help with the purchase of our new home. Your \'inside\' knowledge of Swinger Hill has been a big help and your warm and friendly nature have made the whole process a pleasure.

Lynne Bliss has been known to me for several years. Over this time I have witnessed Lynne\'s exceptional results for sales in the Swinger Hill area. This was borne out recently when Lynne marketed my house at 42 English Court Swinger Hill. The result was a suburb record both in terms of time to sell; 1 weekend, and price. Lynne has recorded many successful sales in the area and I have always found her to be reliable, confident and an excellent negotiator. She is also very fair and straightforward. In my opinion Lynne cannot be beaten as a selling agent for properties in Swinger Hill.

Dear Karen, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the role you have played in the purchase and sale of my house. Without your help I would not be in the position to move onto the next exciting challenge in my life, purchasing the Organic shop. Thank you.
Amanda
We were surprised but delighted at the speed our house sold and the price achieved was above our expectations. Thank you for the way you professionally handled the sale for us. From the time we commissioned you to the time you found us a serious buyer was less than two weeks. This is highly commendable in the present property climate. We would highly recommend you to our friends and neighbours. (March 2004)

Dear Karen, Thank you for all your hard work. It seems to have been one of the longest sales in history and we appreciate your persistence.

Thank you and very well done.

People usually walk away from real estate agents thinking they could have done it for themselves. Not us. You gave the house every chance to strut its stuff and so we got a great deal.
Thanks a lot.

Dear Karen,
We are writing to thank you sincerely for the professional and personal service we received when we recently sold our home through your agency.
With the economic turbulence we\\\'re all experiencing at present and having witnessed a number of sales in our street which had dissapointing outcomes, we had anticipated the sale of our house to be potentially difficult and stressful. However, thanks to you, the sale was not only quick but we achieved a price which we were very happy with.
Your significant experience and knowledge of the local market was invaluable, as was your recommendation to engage the services of a stylist to best present our home. We found your ethics, in an industry which is often regarded with suspicion, to be above reproach.
We wish you every happiness and success in your future endeavours and look forward to recommending your services to our friends and associates in Canberra.
Yours faithfully
Robert and Maryrose MALT.

Thank you for your letter with details of the disbursement of the deposit funds and for the excellent photographs of the house. The sale of the Chifley home is now settled and completed for which we thank both you and Lynne Bliss.
The whole process from the original meeting with you both through to the completion of sale has been painless for us. We found your method direct, realistic and effective and the professional standards you set yourselves are high.
It was these values and your immediate feel for the property as a family home that influenced us to choose you for the sale after our first meeting and our confidence in you was shown to be fully justified. We feel most happy to recommend you to others. And good luck for the future. Thank you again and with best wishes to you both.

Hi Karen,
You are fantastic. After my property failed to be vigorously marketed by the previous real estate agents whilst the market was still warm, I felt sure I had missed the boat in selling my Rivett property when the slow down commenced. I was in a real quandrary seeing I now live interstate and I wasn't sure where to turn or who to trust. The efficiency you and your team showed in rescuing me and transferring the rental property to your property management team was great. You really restored my faith in real estate agents. You were straight down the line and gave me honest advice and help. I couldn't have wanted for more.
Your property management team were also great. I felt that you (all) had my and my tenants\' interests at heart. You were able to keep the tenants on and you were able to sell my property at a reasonable price on a slow market. I would highly recommend you and your business to anyone.
Thank-you so much. I can now start looking to buy my own place and stop renting ( thank God- who must be a woman),
I don't know if this can be used as a testimonial but I am happy for you to use it if you wish.
Regards Kath Bourke

Dear Lynne
I just want to confirm that I am happy to provide a reference for you any time, following my involvement with you over my purchase of the town house in Pearce.
I found you to be very helpful and professional, and genuine in your desire to get the best outcome for both the vendor and myself. I particularly value the very helpful advice concerning organising my finances in advance, when we first spoke last year. And of course, your initiative in contacting me by email when I was overseas, to let me know that the type of property I was looking for was coming on the market, has led directly to the purchase.
I also appreciate the fact that you went out of your way to let me see the property outside of the scheduled openings, and I am very grateful for your patience while I dithered around trying to make up my mind. Finally, your preparedness to meet with people to organise curtains, painting and letting has taken a worry off my mind, which is also very much appreciated at a time when I have been busier than usual.
So thank you very much for all your help during a time which is considered to be high stress. You have certainly eased much of the stress for me.
I am happy to talk to anyone who would like a reference.
Yours sincerely
Jan Morgan

I am writing to offer a big thank you for all your efforts as my agent for the marketing and sale of my property at Swinger Hill.
Your enthusiasm, empathy, integrity, relaxed disposition and knowledge of the area were more than I ever expected of an agent. I was particularly grateful for your after hours assistance - keeping an eye on an empty house, picking up my mail and checking whether or not I had turned the heater off etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any other potential client.
Once again, thank you for all your help and for making the selling process - a first for me - so smooth and painless.

Michael & I will definitely spread the word about how impressed we were with your agency!
Thanks again.

Dear Karen,
This rather belated note is a thank you to you and your staff for the fantastic job that you did in helping us sell our home in Farrer.
We selected you because of my belief in your honesty and integrity and the fact that when push came to shove I could trust your advice. That belief was well justified by the result.
Kim and I appreciated all of your work. The opening twice on the weekend is both very logical and I think was a great benefit to us.
Selling a house is a fairly stressful undertaking and all of the extra things that you did, including making us feel so welcome on our return from overseas helped the process so very much.
Thank you again. We wish you and your agency all the best in the future and we are sure that business will thrive.

Just letting you know that I've just bought a house (unfortunately not one marketed by your firm!) so you can take me off the list.
I would like to extend my thanks to you and all your sales reps - I looked at several houses on their books and your agents were always very pleasant, courteous and genuine, witout any of the condescension or (frankly) slimey-ness that I encountered with many others during my searches.
Thanks again!

Hi Karen
Just a quick note to pass on some feedback.
I have dealt with Lynn for a couple of years, over the last couple of weeks I have had the pleasure to meet the rest of your sales staff.
I know how hard it can be to build a team and I must say they have all been professional, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable.
They are a credit to themselves and your organisation and I will certainly recommend your organisation to others!

Our strong feelings and opinions in regard to Karen have been built over a five year period. During this time she has sold the family home twice and found us another home.
Karen was the most honest, capable and dedicated person that we have dealt with in business. She was at all times OUR agent. Her sensitivity and willingness to help us achieve the best outcome was outstanding. Her efforts played no small hand in getting us through these most difficult times with dignity and complete privacy in terms of our situation.
All of Karen's actions to deliver the best outcome for us in these real estate transactions epitomize the highest standards outlined in the Australian Real Estate Institute Code of Ethics. I have every faith that Karen Rush will continue to successfully deliver absolute quality real estate services with care and dedication.
