Course testimonials

  • said: Scott provided a copy of his Powerpoint presentation which was great. He also had one of his colleagues attending (Gordon) who provided additional information in responding to questions from the floor. Each of the attendees had very specific questions about their own individual circumstances - which Scott and Gordon were able to answer. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recomend it to anyone planning to sell their house - or to anyone who is looking for an unbiased opinion about the whole selling process.
