• Ensuring the ‘right look’ has been applied to invite a greater number of prospective buyers to view the home
• Advising the best method of sale and explaining the basis of how it was derived to be the recommendation
• Tailoring a marketing campaign to best suit the price range to be achieved
• Applying Cynthia’s superior personal presentation and professionalism to create ‘world class’ open inspections every vendor could be proud of – knowing the best representation is being made on their behalf.
