We decided we should take a fresh approach and invited Jim & Angela Warner to present a marketing plan. We signed a contract with them on 16 May 2009 and within 24 hours we were presented with an excellent offer. We were truly amazed and of course very delighted with the result. We were totally impressed with Jim & Angela and their professional manner. G. Steele ...The result was fantastic. Our house sold before the close off date. Our sale was concluded by Jim Warner from the St Heliers branch and we were very happy to see that there was a high level of inter -branch communication and integration between the agents in each branch. Thanks again for restoring our faith and for a stress free experience with Harcourts. C Farrant ..It was 20 years ago that we sold our last home and we invited three Real Estate companies to advise us an approximate sale value, and to provide us with a marketing plan. Jim & Angela appeared to us to be head and shoulders above the rest. They were thoroughly professional practical and enthusiastic… they were outstanding performers and lived up to our early impressions of their being energetic professionals. Needless to say, we sold our home well and we are happy to recommend them to other vendors…” Tom & Carole Ryan “…To say they were specialists is a genuine compliment – nothing fazed them! …they held their promised “open homes” despite the pouring rain that flooded the garden. Still they packed in the crowds.. they calmed our nerves with buckets of confidence and went out of their way to smooth the purchase of our next house. Don’t settle for anyone else. – ask for Jim & Angela Warner of Harcourts St Heliers.
