Testimonial for Bill Schlink First National (Ashley Collins)   August 2015

As first time home sellers we were apprehensive about choosing an agent to handle the sale of our property. Most of our concerns revolved around the stories that circulate of unscrupulousness and a lack of personal care for clients. The entire real estate and housing market can seem overwhelming in its capacity to swallow people whole! However, from the very first meeting we had with Ashley Collins our fears were alleviated. Ashley's calm, positive demeanour and personality put us both at ease and by the end of that initial assessment of our property we both were of the same opinion that Ashley, and Bill Schlink First National were the perfect agent to put our property out into the market and present it in the best possible light. We trusted Ashley implicitly and admired his forthright honesty, and ability to lay the possibilities for selling our property out in plain terms.

This transparency formed the backbone of our relationship with Ashley and his team at Bill Schlink First National as they sought a buyer for us. At times nerves got the better of us but Ashley's reassuring presence put our doubts to rest. We really appreciated the weekly coffee catch ups to discuss how things were going. Even after we sold, Ashley continued to keep in contact regularly, always keeping an eye on the market on our behalf as we embarked on the second part of our quest, namely to find a new home. We both feel that Ashley is a man of great integrity and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to sell their property.
