Testimonials
Wenham Properties Limited recently appointed Sam Sherning, Ryan De Zwart and Shoneet Chand of Colliers International North Shore to sell our investment property at 11 Manga Road, Silverdale. We chose to run an auction campaign to sell this property, after the agents presented an impressive proposal including a Track Record of sales in the Silverdale area.
We were kept updated through the process via weekly Vendor meetings in both written and verbal forms. From the outset we were impressed with the approach of all three agents, as they worked proactively and efficiently in the way they ran the campaign.
This was evident on Auction Day when we had huge turnout of potential purchasers in the Auction Room, which resulted in achieving a sale price that exceeded our expectations.
We would not hesitate in using the services of Sam, Ryan and Shoneet again, and would highly recommend them to others in the future.
Yours sincerely
