To whom it may concern
 
I contacted Mikki Finlay after watching her at an auction where she obtained a fantastic price for a property similar to mine. From that initial discussion and throughout my dealings with her, Mikki has exhibited an exemplary level of professionalism, integrity and dedication that sets her apart in an industry which can be sadly lacking in those attributes.
 
In a difficult market it is more important than ever to have an agent that acts for the seller, rather than the buyer, and Mikki is a seller’s agent. I have no hesitation in recommending Mikki and Premium Residential to anyone considering selling their property.

To Whom It May Concern

We have sold a number of houses over the years and have dealt with a variety of agents. Mikki Finlay sold our latest property last week.

As a seller we will now use no other agent.

The differentiation between Mikki and any other agent is that Mikki Finlay acts exclusively for a vendor. Mikki appreciates that her job is to achieve the highest possible outcome for the sale of your home. At the same time Mikki does not shirk from delivering candid and honest feedback during the entire process – from initial assessment, the marketing process through to final negotiations. 5n our experience, the vast majority of agents are more interested in the buyer rather than the vendor – if they can’t sell my home, then will try to sell you someone else’s. Most agents end up being a buyer’s agent, not the vendor’s agent.

With Mikki Finlay you get an agent who is totally focussed on achieving the best possible outcome for the vendor whilst at the same time maintaining integrity and delivering honest market feedback.

Mikki Finlay is a pleasure to deal with and establishes a trust and wonderful rapport with her clients.

To Whom It May Concern

Mikki, thank you for selling our property without any hassles.

The marketing campaign starting with the photos was top class. Your weekend open house days maximised inspections following advertisements in the Courier Mail and Brisbane News.

Your focus, energy, commitment, honesty and communication convinced us that you were doing your best to maximise the sale of our residence.
 
We will have no hesitation recommending you to our friends who may be vendors.

To Whom It May Concern

Following an extensive review of agents specialising in prestige properties in Brisbane, we selected Mikki Finlay to market our 1889 Queenslander “Capras House”.

Throughout the time we were dealing with Mikki we found her to be open and honest and always provided valuable market feedback and frank opinions.

Mikki orchestrated an excellent marketing campaign with each week’s advertising tuned in response to her observations of the market reaction and other external factors.

After a 4 week campaign a successful sale was achieved in rooms during a period when many other properties were passed in. Mikki demonstrated poise in the in-rooms environment, keeping us as the seller fully informed at all times. The final result exceeded our expectations in a difficult market.

We should have no hesitation in recommending Mikki and her staff to anyone serious about marketing a prestige property.

Mikki,

Thank you for the work you did in selling our house. Your professional approach, your straightforward and direct manner, and your market knowledge have been very helpful.

By keeping us regularly informed prior to the auction, you provided us with the information we required at each decision-making step in the process.

The comprehensive marketing plan covered many avenues of exposure to potential buyers. In particular, having open houses on both Saturdays and Sundays was very useful.

I am delighted to have achieved the result we did, and am very grateful to you and to Francesca for your efforts.

To Whom It May Concern:

Selling a house can be an emotional and stressful time. I am pleased to say however, with Mikki Finlay as our agent, it was not stressful. We even managed to have some good laughs along the way! From the outset Mikki gaves us a realistic understanding of the process involved in the sale of the family home. A detailed marketing plan was presented. This resulted in not only local buyers being drawn to the house but also buyers from interstate and overseas. Five bidders were present on the day of auction resulting in our home being sold at a record price for a non riverfront in Chelmer. A remarkable achievement given the current state of the market. Mikki, Rachael and Francesca were professional in their approach at all times. Nothing was ever too much bother and they were always a phone call away. I am grateful to them for the smooth and efficient manner in which our home was sold.

Mikki

Many thanks for marketing our property at Chelmer. We were very pleased with the marketing exposure achieved in the Courier Mail, and the number of groups through. The whole process was handled very professionally and we appreciated that you and your team were always available on the phone. I particularly like the fact that you open for inspections on Saturdays and Sundays – in my opinion this offers the best opportunity for buyers to get to see the house, and from a vendors point of view maximises the opportunities over the campaign.

I am writing to thank you for the excellent job you did in selling my house at New Farm As a Builder/Developer I have dealt with many Real Estate Agents in both acquiring and selling properties.
I can honestly say I have never come across an Agent with such professionalism and sales acumen as yourself.

The process, from initial contact with you thru to a successful auction was a dream. You are a wealth of knowledge; were always readily available to help; gave accurate feedback during marketing and above all, achieved an excellent result !
Thanks again Mikki, I'm looking forward to dealing with you well into the future.

To Whom It May Concern:

Selling a house at any time can end up being a very stressful exercise. However Mikki Finlay and Francesca Gasteen handled the sale of our house in Yeronga in a totally professional and efficient manner which is unlike the way in which the vast majority operate in the real estate industry. She provided concise and timely market feedback to us during the auction campaign so that we could gauge how the marketing campaign was going along with applying every effort possible to obtain the most extensive coverage possible during that campaign. The most important aspect though is that she works on behalf of the vendor to try to achieve the best possible outcome for the vendor. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their house.
