Having completed our extensive enquiries in the area, we decided to contact Hardy's 1 and requested their assistance in the sale and marketing of a number of a number of apartments in our "Plateia" project. Further to this Hardy's 1 was also able to help in the leasing of the non committed commercial shops & offices.

"Plateia" is a new, four storey, upmarket development in the main street of Mona Vale consisting of 30 residential apartments, 12 retail shops and commercial offices.

We chose Hardy's 1 as our local agent due to their unique profile which encompassed both residential and commercial project marketing. Hardy's 1 and its residential sales team not only found buyers for the remaining apartments in a very short period of time, but they also strived and succeeded in achieving results above our expectations. Again exceeding expectations, they were able to provide a further service, in that they provided tenants to the units that were sold to the investors.

The Hardy's 1 commercial sales and leasing team also became involved with the sales and leasing of the remaining commercial properties available in the project. Hardy's 1 total commitment to the project certainly underpinned the final success of the "Plateia" development.

Hardy's 1 expertise and commitment, headed by the principal Ralph Hardy, has lead us to develop other projects in conjunction with the Hardy's 1 sales team and I look forward to a long and prosperous working relationship with them.

We would thoroughly recommend Hardy's 1 in relation to any project they deem suitable for their considerable marketing skills in relation to both residential and/or commercial/industrial sales projects.

Regards,

Theo

To Whom It May Concern

Re: Hardy's 1 , Mona Vale

Hardy's 1, Mona Vale, recently successfully handled the sale of my commercial property, No 1 Bungan Lane, Mona Vale. Their advertising campaign attracted a good level of interest via the local Manly Daily, the Sydney Morning Herald, bold and attractive signboards on the building and an informative web site.

The Auction day brought us a successful sale on the day via negotiation by the team after bidding stalled.

Thank you Peter, Ralph and Rob, as well as the girls in the office whose smiling support was very good for calming nerves through the campaign.

Thanks team, for a very satisfactory result!

Dear Ralph,

Re: A Thank You Note

I get tired of complaining so when something goes right, everything falls into place, expectations are met and budgets met, I feel a thank you is in order.

I, up until my recent retirement, worked for computing, for US companies at General Management level running regional organisations. Over the years one gets to recognise good people, well run and professional companies. Hardy's 1 falls into this category.

My wife and I have, over the last four weeks, been in the process of selling our property. We worked with you because of recommendations we had received. We followed your advice as to:

• The method of sale
• A marketing plan
• Budget
• Expectations

The property was sold at a price just above what we expected, the marketing plan worked, we were within budget and we were kept informed at all stages.

Please thank all your team and feel free to use this note in any way that may help your business.

Kind regards,

John

Dear Matthew,

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent outcome that resulted in the sale of my North Narrabeen property recently.

You were successful because you actively demonstrated the process of consultative selling, a natural process that keeps the client informed during the various stages of the selling cycle. Such a process requires both intuititive and functional inter-personal skills - skills that you possess and actively put into practice.

Objective and subjective agendas were assessed and pro-active strategies acted upon through successful mutal consultation and collaboration between client, consultant and associates.

Again thank you for your professionalism and commitment.

Yours sincerely,

Alec

Dear Matt,

From our initial meeting back in November last year, we were impressed with both your knowledge and insight. But your level of service exceeded our expectations. You provided fantastic support from the very start of the selling process, right through to the end - even going so far as to help in our negotiations on our next property- we got it!

You were patient, approachable and diligent at all times and went out of your way to see things happen.

But mostly we appreciated your opinion and honesty - and that is rarity to find. We would not hesitate to recommend you or your firm to our friends and family.

Yours sincerely,

Renee & Steve

Dear Matt,

Three months ago I thought our properties would never sell! Today they are both sold, and for what I feel in todaus market - good prices. Thank you Matt for your perserverance, patience and understanding in relation to our property sales. I know it can't have been easy being the middle man at times. Separation sales must be very trying at times and I appreciate your support in ours.

Thanks again Matt to you and all the staff at Hardy's 1! A job - however long and tedious - well done! See you at the opens!

Kind regards and best wishes,

Sue

Dear Matt,

Just a short letter to express our appreciation regarding the sale of our house in Newport. As you know we were listed with another agent before we passed our house onto Hardy's 1. You were recommended to us by another happy client.

Parting with a house that has been a happy family home for thirty two years is a very emotional experience. Matt you created a successful sale for us in a very hard market.

We appreciated your courtesy, honesty and help, and would highly recommend you and your agency to any of our friends who were thinking of selling or buying a property.

Yours faithfully,

Leigh & Jane
