We recently purchased a property through Gittoes, Trent was the agent handling the sale, we found him to be very pleasant and cooperative with good knowledge of the current real estate market.
There is connection with the house we purchased, I will let Trent tell you the story, this sale was meant to happen.
We are currently looking for another property and have left this in Trent's capable hands.
I have no hesitation in recommending Trent to any person looking at purchasing a property, I like dealing with nice people and Trent is one of those people.

Dear Stephen,
We recently concluded the sale of our property at Green Point and the purchase of a new property at Umina, through Gittoes. The agent was Trent Mullen.
We would like to express our appreciation to Trent.
Also, we found Trent to be enthusiastic, professional and made us feel that we were the only client he was working with. The sale of our Green point residence in particular was quite complex and difficult yet Trent secured a purchaser within four weeks. We found him to be always available and at all times positive yet realistic. We felt that we were in good hands.
We believe Trent to be a credit to your business and we would have no hesitation in recommending Trent and Gittoes to our network of colleagues, friends and family, as well as any referral you may request in the future.
We would also like to commend you r office and Mr Ian Medlicott, who was involved on our transaction in the early phase.
Yours truly,
""
Dear Ian,
After 4 unsuccessful months on the market with another agent, you arrived with a fresh outlook and a plan to get us moving toward our new home. Within a few weeks you had found us two buyers and shortly thereafter has secured a deal which has allowed us to purchase the property we had our eyes on.
We appreciate your ‘never give up’ positive attitude throughout and we were always kept up to date with the progress of our marketing, open houses and sale proceedings.
We are delighted to recommend your services to anyone seeking a dedicated and honest professional and we take this opportunity to wish you and the Gittoes team every success in the future.
Kind Regards,
""We listed our property with Cathy Baker. Throughout the sale process, Cathy performed the following tasks:
- carried out a market appraisal & followed up with me afterwards
- listed my property for sale whilst we were living interstate
- liased with other agent regarding tenant, cleaning & access
- kept in regular contact with me as she promoted & actively found buyers for the Auction campaign
- negotiated a sale price with a buyer from the Auction
- exchanged contracts and liased with myself, Strata, Solicitors & buyer throughout the cool off period
- styled the property for sale & purchased furniture on my behalf
At all times Cathy conducted herself in a professional and ethical manner. In particular her honesty, ongoing communication and assistance were exceptional. I would highly recommend Cathy to any prospective clients.
Kind regards,"
"Dear Cathy,
Looking for real estate to purchase is sometimes a difficult experience, especially from a woman's perspective. You made that experience simple.
From the moment I met you I felt as though you were there for me and our family. Your kindness ran to every imaginable situation and you became 'the source' for so many questions. You have been discreet and courteous and at all times have acted with integrity and honesty.
Your kindness to the elderly former owner of our new property was outstanding. I recall you being on the telephone chasing up tradespeople for his new unit. I know how much he appreciated all you did for him. Without you my dear, my daughter and her sons would not be enjoying the lovely home they now live in.
I hope I have given you a small idea just how appreciated you are. Thank you again.
Yours sincerely,"
"Stephen Gittoes with the support of his Team, secured the sale of this property in less than four weeks! when another local agent had this property listed for 9 months!! Further to this, through his target marketing stategy, he listed this valuable property at a substantially higher price and achieved the listed price.
Throughout the 'sale/marketing period', we were given invaluable feedback from Stephen and his Team, in the form of personal contact and weekly written updates, involving actual feedback from prospective buyers.
Stephen's vast experience in Real Eastate and local knowledge, were an integral part of his marketing stategy that resultedin the listed price of this property being achieved in less than 4 weeeks!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen and his Team for their friendly, and professional approach to achieving the sale of our property. It is without hesitation that we would recommend Stephen and his Team to anybody looking to buy or sell Real Eatate. We are certain, that you will experience the same level of professionalism and knowledge, when you choose to deal with Stephen Gittoes and his Team.
Yours faithfully,"
"Dear Stephen,
Thank you for the professional and friendly manner in which you conducted the sale of our property at Mangrave Mountain and the purchase of our new home in Ourimbah. Although we sold the mountain property relatively quickly we were very pleased with the final selling price and are confident that without the advice given by you regarding the marketing of that property we may have missed the opportunity to purchase our new home in Ourimbah.
Your calls in the evening keeping us costantly informed on the progress of the sale and purchase was also much appreciated therefore, please be assured that we will without hesitation pass on your details to friends and collegues who are looking to purchase or sell on the Central Coast.
Yours sincerely,"
"Dear Chrissie,

We really appreciate all your effort - you made a frustrating exercise quite a pleasant one!
Thanks again.

"Thank you for your assistance and courtesy, both in meeting and driving us to view property, and as well enjoying very much our orientation and inspection of the Central Coast. Christina was especially competent and courteous as well as enlightening on the facts of the three homes. Meanwhile please convey our thanks again to Christina.

"Dear Mr Gittoes,
The courteous and extremely friendly sales team really impressed us and each time they brought people to our house we were appreciative of the fact they gave us notice and time to be prepared to show our house off to its best advantage. They introduced us to each prospective buyer when we were home and always followed through with both verbal and written reports of peoples opinions which was of great benefit and gave us positive feed back.
Once again thank you for all you help, we would be happy to recommend you to any of our friends who are thinking of selling their homes.
Yours sincerely,"
"Stephen, we want to thank you for a great job you did with the promotion and the auction of our home. Your professionalism and courteous manner through the whole campaign was much appreciated. Auction day and the following week were not easy for all of us and we believe that you were the honest party.
Wishing you all the best for the future.
Sincerely,"
"We would like to thank you Ian, for all you fantastic efforts in trying to sell our property. It was not an easy house to sell, but you always introduced it to as many people as possible who were interested in the area. Your friendly and professional manner was always much appreciated, and you always followed up and inspection with a phone call reporting on how it all went - something that vendors are very interested in!!
We would like to wish yuo good luck and success in the Real Estate business, and have bo hesitation in recommending you to prospective clients.

"A note to say 'thank you' to all your staff on their expertise and professionalism for the assistance on the purchase of my property. I have bought and sold many of my properties over the years and have dealt with a lot of different real estate agents. None will compete with your team.
Your office has been outstanding in utilizing the skills required to make it a seemless, smooth transaction. Well done - I will not hesitate to recommend your office to any future seller or buyer.
Kind Regards,

"The team handled all enquiries in a professional and prompt manner and I felt comfortable in asking them any questions. With respect to the sale of my East Gosford property, I was kept informed of the status of all inspections and feedback along the way and was very pleased with the marketing of the property and of course the end result. Not only did it make me feel proud to see my property presented so well but probably more so, when walking past the shopfront and seeing "SOLD" sign over the great signage of my house!
I was also fortunate enough to secure a home and again the sale was handled professionally, especially by Trent mullen, where nothing was too much trouble. I expect that Trent will continue on an already successful career path if he displays the professionalism, and courtesy that he displayed towards me.
I wish Stephen, Trent and the rest of the team, all the best with their future endeavours and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
Yours sincerely, "
"Dear Trent,
This letter is to thank you for selling my Mother's property in East Gosford. We appreciate the professional way you handled the sale. You were always available and I felt the many letters to keep me up to date with any new potential buyers informative. Personally i would like to thank you for your compassionate and friendly manner in dealing with my aged Mother.
Yours faithfully,

"Thank you for selling my little house on the hill so quickly. I appreciated the feedback from the staff after a client viewed my house, very professional and prompt. Congratulations for a job well done.
Thanking You,"
"Dear Stephen,
With regards to the sale of our Matcham property through your agency, may I reiterate how pleased we were. All the staff were courteous, friendly and professional. We were particularly happy with the level of communication. Feedback after inspections was excellent.
Kind regards, "
"The decision to sell our family home at Springfield was one of great excitement and sadness. The friendly and professional team, particularly Trent Mullen, humanised the process, displayed a positive attitude to all aspects of the sale and most importantly kept it stress free!
In the three days after signing the contract we already had four potential buyers inspect the property due to their advanced database. To our great surprise and delight the house was under contract before its first open house a week later and the rest of the process simply flowed.
Particular mention must be given to the honesty of the team, a refreshing attribute when considering other agencies. Trent's dedication and efforts in bringing the sale to a speedy and successful conclusion are warmly appreciated by the whole family.
Not once during the process did we hesitate or consider another agency. Trent is enthusiastic, honest, dedicated and friendly and displays a true understanding of real estate in the Central Coast area. His efforts [even on his days off] will not be forgotten and got us to where we are today.
We will not hesitate to have Trent and the team handle any of our future requirements. Thank you!
Yours sincerely,"
" It is with great pleasure that we take this opportunity to thank Trent Mullen and the team for their support and dedication we received during the sale of our home.
After having spent 4 months with another agency without any success, we met with Trent and were blown away by his enthusiasm and easy going nature.
Trent took just 3 weeks to sell our home and even managed to secure our asking price. We found Trent to be a breath of fresh air and his professionalism, dedication and easy going nature made the entire process stress free. Trent's understanding of the market, along with his marketing strategies played a major role in the success of our sale.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Trent or the Team in the future. Once again thank you for your effort and support.
Kind regards,"
"Dear Stephen,
We wish to thank you for your advise we were given in how to market our investment property to achieve a sale. We were very happy with the outcome, the attention we received from yourself and the whole manner in which the staff responded to any questions asked. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any prospective vendors.
We can only once again thank you for the outcome we obtained.
Yours sincerely,"
"Dear Stephen,
Having got through the move to our new home and the last of our boxes unpacked, I am writing to say thankyou for looking after the sale of our home at Matcham. The very short time our home was on the market before selling was most welcome and enabled us to proceed with the purchase of our new home which we are very happy with.
We decided to list our home due to your local knowledge and appreciation of our home and were also impressed with your professionalism. We are very happy with that decision and the resultant sale and wanted you to know that.
Yours faithfully,"
"Dear Ian,
A big thank you for the fantastic job you performed for us in selling our home at Central Mangrove - we were delighted with the price you were able to obtain for us in what was a very quiet market.
We greatly appreciated your professionalism, honesty & regular communication with us throughout the sales process and we always felt you could be totally trusted to look after our property for us.
We wish you every success in the future and we are pleased to recommend your services to other vendors looking for a diligent, trustworthy and hard working agent who knows how to sell rural property!

"We would like to express our thanks and satisfaction to all the staff, but in particular Stephen Gittoes for their work in the sale of our property at Avoca.
We found your staff to be very dedicated and committed to their jobs, often making contact with us out of regular business hours. They were professional, yet also friendly and approachable. Both the extent and quality of the advertising of our property was exceptional, not only in the local newspapers, but also in the Sydney publications.
We have already recommended your agency to friends, and will continue to do so, and in the future would be more than happy to list a property.
Yours sincerely,"
"Dear Stephen,
As our house was mud brick and not the norm, our greatest concern when searching for a real estate agent, was to find one who appreciated the value of our home and could convey that to prospective buyers.
Your enthusiasm and eagerness to list our home convinced us you were the man for the job. When you told us that you had people who you thought would like our house and returned with them two hours after we signed the contract, we were genuinely surprised. Of course, the rest is history - we exchanged one week later.
Thanks also to you for keeping us informed of what was happening and to your staff for their considerate manner in answering our queries and handling the sale. With such teamwork, we know that your agency will continue with the success it deserves.
With best wishes, "
"Dear Ian,
We are writing to thank you very much for selling our house at Erina. May we say that we were particularly impressed that you were able to negotiate a sale so early in the marketing campaign for us with a settlement date that worked in exactly with our own plans for moving.
Since the day we met, we have been impressed by your obvious enthusiasm for selling property and the professional & courteous manner in which you looked after us.
We are delighted to recommend your services to others and we take this opportunity to wish you every success in the future.
Best Wishes,"
" Ian demonstated to us on our first meeting, a genuine interest in our requirements/constrraints of the time and suggested ways to meet and overcome them.
We listed 2 houses to sell with Ian. We did not hesitate or consider any other agent. We felt comfortable with his advice. His negotiating skills & wealth of knowledge of all business etiquette/requirements of the Central Coast are exemplary. His tireless efforts to complete a successful transaction even occcur on days off/family time.
Ian was dedicated, honest, intelligent and hard-working. He exhibited an integrity not usually associated with Real Esate agents. Nothing was a trouble.
We will not hesitate to have Ian handle any of our future Real Estate requirements.
Yours faithfully, "
"Mr Stephen Gittoes has personally handled the sale of our rural property at Glenning Valley.
Selling and leaving a much-loved family home after 20 years was a stressful matter for us and Stephen's professional handling of all its aspects has been outstanding. There was never any failure to respond honestly to any questions we might have and we were kept well informed of progress throughout. His collegues who visited our home for inspections were equally courteous and thoughtful and we were impressed by the way the office staff would keep us informed should there be the slightest delay in arriving for an appointment. The attention to detail and scope of the advertising were excellent in our view and the final outcome was a good as it could be in the prevailing market conditions.
It is a pleasure to recommend his services to any prospective seller.
"
"Dear Stephen,
Our thanks to you for achieving the recent sale of our property at Matcham. We were impressed with your professionalism, your positive approach and enthusiasm and overall your excellent customer service. We found the experience to be trouble-free and reaching our expectations.
The property was , as you would be aware, only on the market for two days and the sale ws completed. The sale price realised was at the upper end of your suggested range for our property.
We have no hesitation in using your firm again and would highly recommend you to anyone who is wishing to to participate in the real estate market.
Yours sincerely,
"

Stephen,
Thank you for all the support and high level of energy needed to push the sale of our house though. We have learnt a lot from our experiences but will not forget the warmth, care and genuine interest you have showed to us. We will always recommend you as a first port of call for selling a house, One day we may be back looking for another old farmhouse...... Meanwhile we will be here wondering how you cope with all of the emotional people selling houses.

Stephen,
Fenville was the owner of a ten unit/townhouse development in Ourimbah and when the development commenced construction I have a sole agency agreement to an agent close to the development, that agent produced no sales in the twelve months.
After disappointing results I then employed the serviced of another two agents in the area, for another eight months which resulted in one sale.
You had sold my previous twelve unit development in Wells Street, East Gosford, I arranged a meeting with you, hoping you would accept a sole agency agreement for the remaining nine units/townhouses at Ourimbah even though it was a fair distance from your office.
You accepted and sold the remaining nine over a few months.

Dear Michael,
Once again thank you for your assistance on the sale of our home.
Your enthusiasm certainly paid off with a buyer in your first open house inspection.
We were a little shell shocked to see a sale after only having the house on the market for only two weeks, you always kept in contact, telling us what was happening and what would happen next. This helped put us at ease as we had never sold a house before.
Helen and I would once again like to thank you and recommend you to anybody selling their most treasured possession, their home.

Dear Ian,
Deciding to sell our family home and moved on to a new stage of our lives was such as adventure! At times it was both very exciting and quite stressful.
Our decision to engage you was a great one for us. Your professionalism and positive (yet totally realistic) attitude to the entire sale process allowed our family to relax. We felt we could be guided by your vast experience in selling many ‘valley’ homes. You were always very honest with us and displayed great business integrity.
One particular skill we truly appreciated was your consistency in providing is with immediate and ongoing feedback after inspections. We felt we could always call you to enquire but rarely needed to as you always called us first!
We wish you the very best – t was an absolute pleasure to have you as our agent and we would defiantly consider asking for your assistance next time we sell.
Many, many thanks and kind regards

We have finally settled into our new home - it has been such a busy time with several interstate trips during this timewith several interstate trips during this time as well. Very happy with our relocation - the new home is everything we hoped it would be.
I just wanted to write and thank you for your involvement as our agent in selling our previous home on The Ridgeway at Holgate.
To link together our former home and a keen purchaser was great work on your part, particularly as you had only viewed the housse once, almost twelve months before when we were not quite ready to put the home on the market. Well done!
I would also like to thank you for the professional manner in which you handles the sale, keeping us informed at all times of the progress of contracts, inspections by the buyer and the eventual settlement. Your attention to these details was much appreciated.
I wish you well in the future and would not have any hesitation in recommendingyourself or the staff i have dealt with to any future vendor.
Kind regards,
