Client Feedback

MB, Mackay

“Naomi went above and beyond in assistance to our house settling and met our every need. She was extremely professional and kept us up to date every step of the way and was prompt at responding to any emails that were sent through, which made the overall experience stress free & comfortable. She is very knowledgeable in the industry and I felt able to put all of my trust into her hands. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
