Thank you for all your help and professional and tireless advice during a long marketing and settlement process. You were always available for all my enquiries and I appreciate your efforts

Jim Haworth

DEREK WALLBRIDGE, Executive Agent, Business Broker and Valuer of LJ Hooker Commercial Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise was chosen from three Real Estate Applicants to act on behalf of Teakglen Pty Ltd in the sale by Private Sale of four of their industrial units in Ashmore Queensland. My name is John Hase and I have been requested by Derek to supply this Testimonial as I acted as a Vendor Advocate on behalf of Teakglen Pty Ltd throughout the period from the time of requesting Marketing Submissions from the three Applicants for the sale of the four properties until the recent settlements of the sale by Derek of each unit. Derek’s professional experience certainly became evident with his organised approach over and beyond expectations to various matters throughout the Real Estate Authority period from organising and supervising maintenance to be carried out to the units prior to the marketing launch followed by weekly marketing reports during the marketing period to liaising with Purchasers and their lawyers when required to ensure that the processing of legal documentation had close monitoring by him so that any queries were addressed quickly up until the settlement of each sale. I have even had complimentary comments conveyed to me by the Personal Assistant to the CEO of the Vendor Company Christina Batson who found Derek to be very polite and very helpful and could not believe the lengths that he went to in ensuring that all relevant parties during the maintenance and marketing programme were constantly updated by him or followed up if answers to queries were outstanding.

J Hase

Derek was excellent to deal with and answered every phone call, email and question quickly and effectively. He made a difficult negotiation as easy as possible and kept me informed every step of the way. The result is a very happy buyer and I would recommend Derek to anyone looking to buy or sell on the Gold Coast.
