Did they pass the test?
“Wow, what a cake!” Lisa’s analogy of selling a house is not unlike a cake recipe – the right ingredients in the right proportions & right timing.
Wayne & Lisa are a formidable team, each using their strengths in the process of selling our home. Their communication with us was excellent throughout. Wayne was very reassuring & understanding when the anxiety bug hit, the reality of it all, after being in our home for almost 16 years. Lisa & Wayne were entirely professional in assisting us through the process. Lockdown viewing conditions certainly increased their workload, but they did it! We would like to sincerely thank you both for your hard work & friendly engagement with us during this time of selling our home. You are an awesome team.
We highly recommend Wayne & Lisa for their very professional & successful teamwork.”

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
