We had been looking
for a suitable property for some time and built a very good
relationship with Wesley Woltman, the manager of Palmers Whitton
& Laing, a well renowned local estate agent. He had acted for us
in the past and is well known locally to many land owners and
the business community in general.
Typically for Wesley, when he made that fateful call to me he
said ‘I’ve found your future home and I’m not taking no for an
answer. You’re going to hate it! But the location is amazing and
you aren’t going to find anything else like it for a very, very
long time’. Now Wesley knows my tastes and is certainly in tune
with what Mark and I had been searching for but I must confess,
I thought he might have lost his marbles when he said we would
hate it!
After Wesley had spoken to the owner who was also a long
standing client of his and friend (which made things all the
more comfortable for us) we arranged to see the property. You
know when you get that feeling of complete certainty, slight
butterflies but complete certainty none the less! Upon reaching
the site and seeing that stunning outlook we both new he hadn’t
lost his marbles at all. In fact he had found the perfect
project. The deal was done, and as the owner didn’t want the
site offered on the open market, things went through smoothly.
To some this might sound a little over the top but I have no
doubt in my mind that without Wesley and his experience and
insight during our search, none of this would have happened. My
advice to anyone looking for property is to recognise a good
estate agent when they find them and listen to them. Sometimes
they can even be right! |
