Hi Scott,
This is an extremely belated Thankyou.
We would just like to say what a pleasure it was to deal with you and the team at Holgate’s when we were on what seemed like the never ending search for our new home.
Nothing was ever seen to be a problem when it came to assisting us and we were never made feel like we were being an inconvenience when we turned up to every open house you had. You were always extremely professional yet always treated us as people not just ‘another sale’.
Now after our 6 month search we are finally living in what we have dubbed as our ‘forever home’. You helped us find the perfect home in a location that couldn’t be better for our family; our kids haven’t stopped smiling since we moved in!!!
So thankyou once again for being such a wonderful agent and for helping us find the perfect home.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you and the team at Holgate’s to anyone needing the services of a real estate agent.
Kind Regards
Adam, Jane & our very happy children

To Whom It May Concern
Recently my sister and I sold the above property and used the services of Holgate First National in particular Scott Henry as our real estate agent.
It was bad enough selling the house you had grown up in, let alone the second house your father had built. I knew this was going to be an emotional ride. What I needed was an agent who would patiently, ethically and constructively guide me through the selling process.
I followed the professional advice given to me and consulted three real estate agents. I decided that Scott Henry would be best positioned to provide the service in the way I desired.
I always felt comfortable dealing with Scott, never pressured, given realistic advice, relevant feedback from potential buyers and constructive suggestions in enhancing the selling process. His initial advice regarding auctioning the house proved correct achieving an excellent result.
Should I need the services of a real estate agent in the future then I would return to Scott.
I have no hesitation in recommending Scott Henry and Holgate First National to any party.
Yours sincerely

I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the team at Holgate First National Lane Cove and most importantly Carlo Palamara.
Carlo recently managed the sale of our place in Pengilly Street, and we are eternally grateful for his services. The personal attention we received from Carlo was excellent. His knowledge of the local market and his key contacts in the community helped us exceed our desired outcome.
Carlo took us through the entire process from beginning to end; he always took the time to make sure we understood. He exudes confidence and is a true professional to his craft.He is polite, professional and always on time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Carlo whether you are buying or selling, you could not ask for a better agent.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Scott:
Re: 6/69 Burns Bay Road Lane Cove
It was not an easy decision for us to select a real estate agent for the marketing of our
investment property. Being in the strata property management business in Lane Cove for
so many years, we have developed good working relationships and, at times, long-term
friendships with a number of real estate agencies in the area.
Our final decision to select Holgates was due to their excellent reputation and the long
relationship we have enjoyed with members of the Holgate family over the years. We
contacted you directly as you were known to us personally and through your longstanding
association with Holgates.
From the first inspection to the final negotiations in the sale of our property, we enjoyed
complete confidence in your experience and guidance. We particularly appreciated your
regular updates of progress on inspections and interested parties.
We feel that your professionalism and commitment in acting in our best interests assisted
greatly in achieving an excellent outcome.
It has been a pleasure dealing with you and all at Holgates and we thank you again for
the successful sale.
Yours sincerely

Dear Scott,
Once again thank you for informing us that the property has been settled today and we look forward to receiving the bank cheque that you have sent.
My husband and I are very happy that we have given your office to managed and sold the above property. Together with you, Georgia and Sue gave maximum attention which led to the success of the sale and with your highly professional skill we were able to get through it smoothly in spite of the fact that our tenants were quite reluctant to leave. The three of you worked very hard leading to the last day of the sale. Ever since we bought the house through you on the 30/8/03, we felt that you knew your work very well and we were able to trust you. I am sure Tim Holgate is very proud to have you all in his team.
To sum it all up, you are the best in the business!!
Kind Regards,

It has been 7 weeks after I moved in to the new place and all of the dust has settled down.

The timing of the transactions was challenging, however, I was very pleased with the end result, thanks to your experience and attention to details.

All the best and we will keep in touch.

To Whom It May Concern,
Scott Henry, of Holgate Real Estate Lane Cove, has sold two properties for my family, in Kallaroo Road, Riverview during the past six years.
On both occasions, at all times, I have found Scott to be courteous, totally professional and extremely capable. He impresses me with his local knowledge, his negotiation and communication skills, his efficiency and dedication. As a bonus he has a down to earth and affable personality.
Scott’s professional expertise enables him to achieve very satisfactory sales results for my family on both occasions that we have engaged him as our chosen agent.
I recommend Scott Henry highly to any future clients, and wish him the very best for the future.

Dear Carlo,
On behalf of my family, especially my Mother, Anita, I would like to thank you for the professional way you handled the sale of our family home, 21/36 Landers Road, Lane Cove. It was an emotionally charged time for us, and I felt you were sensitive to this, for which I thank you.
From the first time I met you I was impressed by your obvious love of what you do. Throughout the campaign you were open with me, keeping me up-to-date with how each opening went, and the response from prospective buyers. I always felt I knew exactly where I stood. Amazingly, you made a estimate the first time you saw the unit, which was pretty close to the eventual outcome that was achieved at auction.
The other point that impressed me was how the Holgate office worked as a team. This was particularly obvious on the day of the auction. Everyone from your office who attended worked hard to get the impressive result that was realized. Please thank them all for their involvement.
I wish you well with future sales, and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who might be selling in the Lane Cove area.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Scott.
I wish to thank you for the efficient handling of the sale of my late father's house and all the advice and help offered by you. In particular I was impressed with your attention to the many details needed to make this sale such a resounding success. It was comforting to hear your progress reports as to interest in the property once it went on the market. Your advice as to how best present the house for sale was invaluable and greatly appreciated. To me it was also pleasing that you gave me time to think and make up my own mind on so many aspects of this sale. Rightly or wrongly there is a general perception in the community that real estate agents tend to be "pushy"; you were not at all and I did appreciate this.
Suffice to say that I was so pleased with your handling of this sale that I will certainly come back to enlist your help in selling my own house in
I have no hesitation in recommending your services to any other prospective vendors.

Dear Scott,
I would like to take this opportunity in thanking you for not just selling our house but for being more like a family friend during this stressful time.
I have bought twice from you and now sold with you. Your honesty and support during both business affairs have been outstanding. You are a man of your word and I can honestly say that my experience with other agents have not even come close to your truthfulness.
Scott, you were available to me by phone and email at a drop of a hat, I am a highly strung person and you were able to reassure me every time I was concerned. At the end of the day you achieved a record price for Lane Cove.
Thank you again,

Thank you so much for managing the sale of Mum’s unit at Lane Cove. You achieved a fantastic result with the absolute minimum of worry and no fuss for my Mum. I have no hesitation in providing a testimonial for Holgates, but obviously my personal experience lends itself to a reference for yourself. You handled the sale of my Mum’s unit with the utmost professionalism and integrity. You managed the sale with the greatest consideration and respect of my lovely Mum and you treated her with the deference she deserved. You were absolutely up-front with me throughout the whole process, keeping me informed on a daily basis of buyer activities, and you never disregarded Mum’s feelings at any time. Although she was terribly hesitant and wary of the whole sales process, you made it as easy for her as anyone possibly could all the while knowing I was handling the matter myself. I applaud your consideration of her intelligence and vulnerability and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to take care of anyone choosing to sell their home. I commend you on your handling of our sale and I would love it if you were handling the sale of my own home which is unfortunately out of your area!
With thanks, and the greatest of respect to you.

We have no doubt that your expert advice and local knowledge, combined with your commitment and negotiating skills, were the reason that we achieved a considerably higher sale price than we had expected.

Dear Scott,
This is to thank you for managing the sale of our home. Your professional approach and manner made us feel comfortable from our first meeting and gave us confidence that you would also treat prospective buyers professionally and courteously.
Your advice to take the property to auction proved to be the right strategy for maximising the sale price of our particular home in this particular market. This was in contrast to the ‘one size fits all’ approach of other agents we had consulted.
At no stage did we have to chase you for information as you kept us informed at all times and were always available to answer random questions or concerns, which took a lot of the stress out of the process of selling our home.
With best wishes,

After the death of our Mother, it was obvious that the family home of 50 years would have to be sold.
Where do we start?
After contacting several people we knew who had sold properties with great success through Holgate, Scott’s was recommended.
We could not have wished for more courteous, understanding & service in helping us through the process of putting the home up for Auction. Nothing was left to chance, being kept informed during the weeks leading up to Auction Day. Needless to say with all the dedicated effort by Scott, a very good result was achieved on Auction Day. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome.
Scott, thank you.

Attention: Tim Holgate
Dear Tim,
We are writing the following as a testimonial to the outstanding service and professionalism we have received in dealing with Holgate First National Real Estate Lane Cove with the recent sale of our house.
We had a very positive experience with Scott Henry with regards the sale of our house.
Our main dealings were with Scott and found him to be an absolute delight to deal with. He is very honest, personable and extremely professional and "upfront" with all hid communications.
Prior to committing to list our property for sale, we had a number of other local agents to view our property. We had a wide variance in price valuations. Some of them we believed to be extremely "optimistic" and we felt would likely prove to be unachievable.
Over the years living in Lane Cove we have met Scott at a number of opens throughout the local area and surrounds. Aside from his professional and personable nature we were always impressed with his honest approach and accurate price valuations of properties he was selling. We felt extremely comfortable and confident to list with Scott as he never us gave the "hard sell" or over-inflated unrealistic prices.
With a realistic and honest approach from the start, the marketing campaign for our house sale was a great success with excellent numbers at open each week. The photographer did a excellent job with the photos and showed the house to its best advantage.
Throughout the whole campaign Scott kept us fully informed all the time with this very efficient and honest communication. He kept us fully informed frequently with telephone conversations and email updates. We were always fully aware of what was going on in the sale process. He is a true professional and very dedicated and committed.
Scott is a very skilled and personable negotitator. He obtained for us an excellent price for our property, which surpassed our expectations.
Scott’s handling of the sale was handled at all times with the utmost courtesy, respect and professionalism both towards us and prospective purchasers. He always considered our family circumstances (with a young toddler) and he gave us maximum notice to allow time for additional inspections.
Once again thank you Scott for your professionalism and commitment and efficient commitment throughout the whole process.?
You made a "stressful" situation a very smooth and easy transaction for us. If only the buying process was as "easy"!!
We have no hesitation in recommending Scott and Holgate Real Estate to handle any real estate transaction either for selling or buying a property.
Thanks again.Yours Sincerely,

Hi Scott,
Pum & I just wanted to thank you both so much for all or your help with the recent sale of our family home on Centennial Avenue, Lane Cove.
It does not seem like long ago when we sat & discussed our family’s plans to move on to the next phase of our lives now that our girls are approaching teenage years.
With a minimum of fuss the house has now been sold & our new journey will soon begin.
Scott I must say that we were very impressed with your expertise & the attention to detail that you gave us throughout the whole process.
I remember clearly growing up that my father kept telling me ‘If you want to do well in life, always do everything that’s expected of you & then a little bit more”.
You certainly achieved a great sales result for us Scott & thank you again for indeed doing “that little bit more”.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Scott Henry & the Holgate First National Team to other Vendors wanting to sell their home.

Just over 12 months ago Scott Henry from Holgate First National Real Estate Lane Cove sold my house in Longueville. Scott’s many years of experience in real estate produced a most outstanding result.
Recently I decided to sell an investment apartment in Wollstonecraft. Without hesitation I asked Scott to sell it on my behalf. Once again Scott demonstrated his very professional and efficient commitment during the sale with another fantastic success.
In face Scott conducted and ‘Auction’ on my behalf via the telephone and email between the many interested parties, without the added expense! The end result surpassed my expectation which was far above ‘reserve’ price.
I definitely have no hesitation in recommending Scott Henry to any future clients..... THANKS SCOTT!

To whom it may concern,
I would like to congratulate Scott Henry and the team at Holgate First National for a fantastic job in selling my unit.
It was 15 years ago that I purchased the unit through Holgate First National (Garry Purcell was the agent I dealt with) and so I naturally wanted to get a valuation done through Holgates for sale purposes. When the valuation I obtained from another agency was very similar, the decision to sell through Holgates was an easy one.
My experience to-date in the selling process has been wonderful. Scott has been very professional in his manner and pro-active in their approach to the sale, which has taken a weight off my shoulders. You continually kept me up-to-date and given me sound advice in relation to various options that came up from time to time in regards to marketing the unit.
There were been times when they have gone out of their way to assist me in getting the premises ready for marketing, which I very much appreciated. I was extremely happy with the way my unit was displayed in the marketing material, which highlighted its best aspects.
Scott answered all the questions I had about the offer process and I was thrilled with the final offer that was obtained and accepted on my behalf.
I would highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the area covered by Holgate First National.
Yours faithfully

Dear Scott.
Now the dust has settled and our townhouse in Burns Bay Rd. has been sold, Mary and I want to express our extreme gratitude in the way you handled our sale. It has been a long time Scott, as we purchased the property some 15 years ago when you acted for the vendor. It was a bit tricky then but you managed all concerned with a great deal of aplomb and professionalism.
Mary and I have always said when the time came to sell, you were the man. Although it has taken some 10 months to finalise, never once did you pressure us to drop our price etc. and week after week you persisted. It has been difficult with the way the housing prices have been, but we have always been comfortable in your looking after our interests. I have spread the word around No 87 and I hope it bears fruit for future business.
Your office staff were so friendly and personal and it is with some regret that we cannot put our interstate property through Holgates.
I will look forward to catching up with you soon.
Warmest regards,

I am writing the following as a testimonial to the service and outstanding professionalism recently provided by Scott Henry of Holgate Real Estate Lane Cove.
When faced with the prospect of selling our home, we found the decision of whom to appoint as the selling agent a difficult one.
During the past two years, we had followed the actions of Scott selling two properties in the close vicinity of our house. I felt that Scott’s methods and selling approach were rather different from my previous experience with other real estate agents. This led us to choose Scott to handle the sale of our property.
From the outset of the selling experience, we found Scott to be willing to listen to and to comply with our wishes with regard to the method of sale. Although he gave us guidance in this process, at no stage did he attempt to coerce us into a process that we were not happy with.
Scott’s handling of the sale was handled at all times with the utmost courtesy, respect and professionalism both towards us and prospective purchasers.
The sale was achieved with minimum expense and in a very short time frame for a price that was considerably above our initial expectations.
We have no hesitation in recommending Scott and his company Holgate Real Estate to handle any real estate transaction.
It is obviously this professionalism that has earned the company their reputation in the area over the last 45 years.
We now consider Scott to be a friend and look forward to searching for our next real estate venture with him.

To Whom it May Concern,
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Scott Henry on helping me find my new home. I had been looking to upgrade from my current apartment in Lane Cove to either a small house or semi, and Scott was the agent that delivered the outcome. Scott is very precise in understanding specifically what the client's needs and requirements are. He is a very attentive and professional property agent, and impressed me with his intimate knowledge of the Lane Cove property market.
Within days of my requesting Scott to source me a particular property type in Lane Cove, he was quickly able to organise a private negotiation between myself and the Vendor, with both parties concluding the deal in a timely and efficient manner.
I thank Scott for helping me fulfil my goals - and have no hesitation in recommending Scott to any prospective purchaser looking for the right home. This is the second property that Scott has sold to my family over the last few years, and we are very happy with his work and dedication to his clients.

After a string of impressive sales in my apartment block I recently decided to take the plunge and sell my unit. The professionalism of Tim Holgate and his team turned what could have been a stressful experience into an exciting and ultimately very satisfying one.
From the moment I decided on Holgates I know I had chosen well. As this was the first time I had sold a property I was unsure as to what selling a unit entailed and was understandably anxious.
At our first meeting Tim eased any fears I had by taking the time to discuss the options I had in detail. He was sympathetic to my needs and whilst offering suggestions at no time did I feel pressured into making decisions that I wasn’t completely comfortable with.
Tim always provided me with constant feedback from potential purchasers during the Open for inspections and most importantly was always realistic in their interest level.
After only 3 weekends he found a buyer at a price I was more than happy with.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tim and his team with pleasure.
Thanks and regards,

Re: Sale of 9 Cobden Avenue, Lane Cove (July 2009)
With the passing of our Father late last year, my sister and I were left with the agonising task of selling our family home of 48 years in Lane Cove.
With neither of us now living in Sydney, we began by visiting a few Real Estate Agents in Lane Cove, the first of which was Holgates. Scott Henry greeted us in a very caring, friendly and professional manner with incredible local knowledge and without the ‘ hard sell’ attitude.
With a challenging financial market , we were relying on Scott’s expertise to help guide us in the right direction. We decided to go with Scott’s recommendation of auction and there was never any time that we did not know exactly what was happening. Either by telephone, email or in person, we were always informed of every bit of information there was to know.
Scott was extremely committed in achieving the desired result for us and we drew on his experience, knowledge and skills when it was decided to sell prior to auction.
We would have no hesitation is recommending Scott and Holgates to any prospective vendors.

Tim & The Holgate team,
I am just writing to confirm what I told you after the auction: you are fantastic.
From the beginning to the end of the sale, Tim proved himself to be realistic and knowledgeable of the Lane Cove real estate market.
As I live in Victoria it was critical for me to have an agent who I felt comfortable with to just let them run the process.
Without a doubt, the Holgate team are very competent, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. A team that remembers all the little things as well as the big.
Tim's continuous communication throughout kept me up to date of all progress regarding inspections and regularly advised me of the current position. When the auction day came, I was overjoyed with the wonderful result and a deep admiration for Tim's professionalism and capability.
I also need to mention that my family has had a long relationship with Holgate's, who has managed several rental properties for us for many years. We have always been extremely happy with the services, and being owners have never had an issue with tenants, expenses, and the rent was always in the account every month which was a huge peace of mind.
I would just like to thank you for the wonderful service you provided to my family over the years, and the excellent service provided during the sale.
Professional and ethical Real Estate agents really do exist.

Dear Scott,
With the recent settlement of our townhouse in Lane Cove, Kay and I take this opportunity to express our appreciation to you for your management of the sale of our home.
From our first meeting, you impressed us with you experience and knowledge in the real estate market. This was ultimately demonstrated by your estimate of the value of our property proving to be close to the final selling price – in a very uncertain market. Significant in the decision in us choosing Holgate First National, you were personable and businesslike, without being slick and resorting to many of the ‘sales’ lines used in the industry. We found this to be quite refreshing and were consequently quite comfortable dealing with you.
Your handling of the final negotiations demonstrated a deft hand and a deep understanding of people and the art of negotiations. These qualities are difficult to quantify, but proved invaluable. Your frequent feedback and guidance throughout the sales process were particularly appreciated. We were assured that you were acting in our best interests.
We would only be too pleased to recommend you to others who are considering selecting a real estate agent.

I have just had sold a property in Woolstonecraft by Holgate Real Estate, Lane Cove, which was handled professionally and in a true friendly spirit by Tim Holgate. I recommend them as true professionals and Tim as now a good mate.
My family and I have a modest history of dealings with Holgates. My son sold his apartment in Lane Cove in 2004, and spoke glowingly of Tim. I rented a charming Lane Cove unit some years before that through Holgates - and it was the true blue service I received then that started the family connection between the Holgates and the Marches.

I write to thank you for the professional manner in which the sale of my home was conducted.
I invited Holgates to appraise my home as I know you to provide accurate and realistic valuations of property. I decided to appoint Holgates as I was impressed with the high level of service provided by Scott Henry.
I was very comfortable dealing with the Holgate team and was impressed with the level of feedback and information provided.
Holgates always acted in my best interests and were able to provide advice commensurate with their high level of experience and which was sound and appropriate in all the circumstances.
I would be happy to recommend Holgates to any potential seller of property and would definitely use them in the future.

Dear Scott,
Thanks for your letter today confirming the exchange of Contracts for my home unit at Lane Cove.
To answer your questions, I asked Holgate to appraise my home unit at Lane Cove because, well, you work there, so I came to see you and no one else. I purchased my mother’s house in Lane Cove some 15 years ago and was very satisfied. You were the agent for this transaction. During this time I have asked for your assistance on Real Estate matters and you have always been most helpful.
You negotiated a fair price in the sale of my unit. I felt very comfortable with all proceedings.
When it is time to sell my mother’s house in Lane Cove, I will come and see you at Holgate’s First National again.
I used Holgate First National for the managing agent when I leased my unit at Lane Cove. I found the staff at Holgate’s very friendly and extremely professional.

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to thank Holgates of Lane Cove for the excellent work they did in selling my Longueville properties.
Following an extensive review, I chose Holgates for the following reasons:
(1) their knowledge of the Lane Cove area, and the Longueville, Northwood and Riverview markets;
(2) their professional approach; and
(3) their insight into a number of special requirements relating to the sale of our properties.
In particular I would like to acknowledge Scott Henry and his team for their efforts in marketing the properties and their sales advice.
Scott was very approachable and professional, providing me with constant feedback on the progress of the marketing as well as making a number of suggestions which enhanced the saleability of the properties. His assessment of the market in terms of bidders and price achievable was accurate and despite the "financial crisis" he raised considerable interest in our properties.
I have no hesitation in recommending Holgates for both sales and purchases in the Lane Cove area.
Yours Sincerely,
John Hayward

Additionally we especiallyappreciatedyour regular and comprehensive (phone, email and written!) feedback after all inspectionsand your frank and balanced opinions were a great help in finding the right buyer.
I have no hesitationin recommending you and your team to anyone wishing to sell their property.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the exemplary manner of services rendered to me by your good self, as well as Mr Scott Henry.
Only after two open for inspections my property was sold, this is an outstanding achievement in my view. At all times i was kept informed with a progress report. I was also impressed by the professionalism extended to me, including the vast knowledge in all areas of Real Estate matters.
Lastly, I feel Mr Scott Henry is an asset to the company.
Thanking You,

Scott Henry of Holgate first national worked very hard and was successful in selling my unit in Lane Cove.
I first met Scott in 1992 when I purchased my family home at 46 Sofala ave Riverview after that I went on to purchase 3 units on Burns Bay rd all through Scott and I also purchased 61 Carranya rd Riverview.
During the process I found Scott professional, courteous, diligent and very keen to succeed, that’s why I have only used Scott and no other real estate agent in lane cove I have also sold 3 of my properties through Scott and found him very accurate with his valuations on all properties.
I have no hesitation in recommending that you consider him as your agent.
Thanks,

Thank you both for all your support in selling my unit on Burns Bay Road in Lane Cove. We were successful in attaining a better than expected price given the rapid changes in the global markets and the festive season fast approaching. A great result achieved overall.
Again thank you.

Dear Scott,
After making the big decision to sell my family home, I engaged the professional aid of two different local agents, PRD Nationwide & McGrath, attracted by the higher promised result price and high level of client care, neither of which I can say were given or achieved.
After two failed marketing campaigns and a few headaches later, I entrusted the sale of my home to Scott Henry at Holgate First National, a decision well made.
With a realistic and honest approach from the start, the auction marketing campaign was a great success with good numbers at open each week, full feed back being given after each open and a suitable buyer having exchanged contracts a week prior to the auction date at a price they said they would achieve.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the professionalism and honesty of Holgate First National and am delighted with the results they achieved for me. Not being hidden behind a big brand allowed me to trust the individual and Scott did not disappoint.
Thank you again for your relentless help and care and it confirms, the high esteem that your name represents in the district.
Yours sincerely,

I would like to thank Scott and Alison for their help in selling my unit at 18-20 Longueville Road, Lane Cove. Given the current economic climate it was a very quick sale and settlement I was pleased with the result.
Local knowledge is very important and that is why I had selected Holgates to sell my unit as Scott had sold another unit in the same block a few weeks earlier.
Both Scott and Alison were very professional and a pleasure to work with. I was kept updated every step of the way and would certainly recommend Holgates to anyone thinking of putting their property on the market in the Lane Cove area.
Kind regards,

Dear Scott,
I would like to say how much we appreciated the professional approach you adopted in selling Unit 5 at 192 Longueville Rd, Lane Cove on behalf of my four children.
From the time they signed the agency agreement with your firm it was just on 4 weeks when contracts for sale were exchanged at what we consider was an excellent price.
Previous buying and selling transactions you have conducted on behalf of my late wife over the years encouraged us to give you the opportunity on this latest occasion and we were certainly not disappointed.
Once again, many thanks and with kind regards,

When selling my house I had three agents provide me with an estimate of it's value and proposals for selling. I selected Holgate's because they had existing interested buyers at the middle of the range of estimates. While Auction was the first choice, we modified this to fit with other local sales.
The house was one in a group being shown by Holgate's so the exposure was extremely pleasing in a market that was beginning to slow down.
I found Scott Henry and his team very forthright and energetic in their efforts and I particularly appreciated Scott's hard work in securing the sale. It was very helpful to have the regular feedback concerning showings and Scott's availability to discuss matters as they arose -even when he was on holiday!
Thanks for your effort and professional advice,

Dear Scott,
Just a quick note of thank you to both you and Alison for your very professional and dedicated approach to the sale of our unit.
We certainly appreciated your words of experience in the presentation and marketing of the property, you know this area well and we are very happy with the quick result and price achieved.
The sale in place in a little over a week and your efforts didn’t stop there, you pursued every aspect until exchange completed and sale secured.
Once again, we are very happy with the service provided and thank both of you for your dedication and achievement.

Dear Scott Henry,
Early this year, my mother fell ill and had to move into an aged care facility. I had to sell her unit in Lane Cove to cover the bond at the hostel. For each day the bond was not paid, it accrued interest at 11%, so time was of the essence.
A friend of Mum’s recommended Scott Henry of Holgates at Lane Cove to me. I did not have time to see any other agents, and I am glad I did not waste my time. When I first met Scott I was impressed by his professionalism, his easy going personality and his honesty. He made everything sound easy.
I needed to get some minor renovations done before putting the unit on the market. Scott was able to recommend skilled local tradesmen. I hired the handyman, painter, floor sander, rubbish removalist and plumber he recommended. Within two weeks the unit was ready.
Scott very efficiently organised photographs, floor plans, and advertising. I was not sure we would get the price of $369,000 that Scott recommended, but I decided to trust his judgment, and I am very glad I did.
The first open home on Saturday 23rd February was very well attended. A serious buyer emerged almost straight away with an offer of $362,000, and when another buyer offered $365,000, Scott was able to get the first buyer to match the offer. The contract for sale was exchanged on 7th March, and settlement took place on 4th April, only four weeks later. The unit was sold only six weeks after it first went on the market! And Mum only had to pay two months interest on the bond!
This was a great result, and much better than I had hoped for, both in terms of the sale price that was achieved and the speed with which the sale was made.
I want to thank Scott Henry and the team at Holgates for this great result. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott Henry and Holgates to any seller or buyer.

Dear Scott,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the very professional and efficient commitment you demonstrated during the successful sale of my home at 72 William Edward Street Longueville.
Throughout the entire campaign both of you always kept me well informed as to the progress of the sale, and were always available, diligently returning phone calls.
Your many years of experience in Real Estate really ‘showed through’, and the advice you provided me with was invaluable. The whole process went very smoothly, and your friendly manner made it an enjoyable exercise, no stress involved whatsoever!!!
I have no hesitation in recommending both you to any future clients.
Yours sincerely,

To whom it may concern,
In March, we sold our home through First National with the expert help from Scott Henry.
From the start, Scott was very helpful as we had never sold a house before. He expertly guided us through the process up to the stage of sale.
Our home sold, by private treaty, five days later. We were very happy as we already had decided on another property, so the whole process from selling to buying was very smooth.
We have no hesitation in recommending Scott to sell your home.

Recently my sister and I took on the daunting task of finding a retirement unit for our father then tidying up and selling our family home of 52 years. We were totally unfamiliar with the ins and outs of buying and selling and felt quite concerned about making the right decisions in our father’s best interest.
We were introduced to Tim Holgate of Holgate’s Real Estate by a colleague of my daughter and found him a very pleasant man who was understanding of our situation. We did speak to two other agents but decided that, because Holgates had an extensive knowledge of the local property market, successful sale records and a stable, long-time business, they were the agents for us.
The family met with Tim and Scott Henry to discuss the how to sell the house for the best result and we were very pleased with their no-pressure, realistic approach. We also appreciated their advice as to what work was needed to give the house a wider appeal and the best time for it to go on the market.
In the next 12 weeks we found, bought and moved our father into his new home, cleaned out 50 odd years of stuff, had the painters through, polished the floors, planted a new garden, re-turfed and put on the finishing touches. We then handed the house over to Scott.
The marketing was spot on with 28 groups going through the house on its first open day. The strong interest continued all the way through the selling campaign giving us confidence of a good result at Auction. Scott was great to work with during this process. He was totally reliable, doing everything that he said he would do and was easy to talk to, open and honest. Not only did he always keep us in the loop, he also kept in constant contact with potential buyers.
When the crunch came with 3 parties putting in offers prior to Auction Scott showed great integrity towards all involved. After a slight hiccup the house was sold prior to Auction for much more than any of us could ever have hoped for. I think even Tim and Scott were a little surprised!
We were so lucky to have the right agent at the right time and the right potential buyers walking through the door. Our family was thrilled with the sale of our home and the manner in which Scott sold it. We wholeheartedly recommend the Holgate team and thank them for their guidance, hard work and effort on our behalf.

I purchased my property in 2002 from Holgate Real Estate when I moved back to Sydney after several years away. In 2006 I was relocated to the United States upon which point Holgate Real Estate began the management of my property, in 2008 I sold my property through Holgate Real Estate also.
All of these processes were completed by different people within the Holgate Real Estate team , from the excellent assistance I received when purchasing for the first time in the challenging Sydney market all the way through to the sale of the property I have never had a bad experience with the group.
I also first thought that attempting to manage a property from the other side of the world would have been difficult however the service that I received from Holgate Real Estate was exceptional. The money was always in my account and the notice always arrived on the same day every month which was a huge thing for my peace of mind.
The sale process was also a challenge as the entire task was completed without me having to set foot in the country, the patience and diligence shown to me were second to none.
As you can probably tell, I have nothing but praise for Holgate Real Estate and when I return to Australia in the coming years if possible I will look to utilize their services once again.

Thank you for your efficient, respectful and professional assistance in selling my property. I always felt informed about the opportunities and you worked well to generate a sale in less than 2 weeks. I was very pleased with the sale price and Holgate's fees were reasonable and well worth it.
Thank you and if I am selling again in Lane Cove area I will come to Holgate's before any other agents.

Dear Scott,
Thank you for the excellent and most professional service you provided to us in the sale of our Lane Cove Property. Your ethics in handling the three offers made within 2 hours of the first open inspection was beyond reproach. I also wish to say how impressed we were in the way in which you organised the photographer and painters within 24 hours of us engaging your services. You certainly know how to present a property in its best light. The way in which your skills and experience were employed went in no small part to obtaining the full price asked. Thank you once again Scott you are by far the best Real Estate agent we have had.
Yours sincerely

LONGUEVILLE 15 Mary Street
I am delighted to provide a testimonial for Scott Henry in relation to his recent handling of the sale of my late father's property at 15 Mary Street, Longeuville. I have known Scott for many years and he has also handled successfully, a previous family estate sale, in Lane Cove.
Scott has a very professional approach to selling property but with a important difference to many of his peers. His estimates of property values are realistic and achievable and reflect his long term experience with the local property market. He applies a very strategic approach to the marketing aspect, based on achieving maximum value from the advertising spend, spread across the print and electronic media.
From my observations his approach to prospective buyers is not a "hard sell", but rather painting a broad canvas of the positive features of the property, to create a mindset amoungst buyers of thinking outside the square. The strategy worked with many people making multiple inspections and creating a large gathering at what was again, a very successful auction day.

To whom it may concern,
Recently, my sister and I were executors for our late mother's deceased estate. The home had been with the family for over 50 years and was put on the market. We consulted Scott Henry and other real estate agents in the district. We chose Holgate to represent us as we believed that Scott had a good feel for the market, many years experience from living and working in the Lane Cove district and a very warm and pleasant approach.
His continuous communication throughout with both myself and my sister kept us both up to date of all progress regarding inspections and regularly advised us of our current position. When the auction day came and the hammer fell, my brothers and sister were overjoyed with the wonderful result and a deep admiration for Scott's professionalism and capability in working with the market so well.
We have no hesitation in recommending Scott to act as an agent in selling property in the Lane Cove district.
Yours sincerely

To whom it may concern.
My wife and I recently sold our house in Lane Cove. The agent we used was Holgate and the sales representative was Scott Henry.
We found the service we received from Scott to be excellent. Our house was sold for considerably more than we anticipated in a less than a week after it went on the market.
We chose Scott to sell our house for us after seeing him in action at a number of auctions and following interviews with a number of local agents. We formed the impression that he would be an estate agent that we could work with and would do a good job for us. We were not disappointed.
We have no hesitation in recommending Scott Henry and Holgate to prospective sellers of property in the Lane Cove area.
Yours sincerely,
Edward and Trina Singleton

Dear Scott,
We are pleased to offer this testimonial in respect of your selling approach following the recent sale of our Howell Place, Lane Cove property.
The sale of our property presented a number of challenges, foremost of these was the preparation of the property to an exemplary standard following several years of tenancy. Combined with the fact that we are interstate owners, it was critical for us that our chosen agent step up well beyond the traditional role played by a selling agent.
We informally engaged Scott very early in the selling process – we initially consulted with Scott to determine a sales strategy and once this was determined, Scott played the pivotal role in executing against the strategy. Scott’s experience, knowledge & skills were key in determining the strategy – his professionalism and absolute commitment were then instrumental in achieving the result that we did.
We have no hesitation in recommending Scott (and his firm) to prospective vendors – Scott went the ‘extra mile’ at every step of the way in the process and in doing so, over delivered on the end result verses our expectations.
In our minds, there is no other agent whom we would consider using to sell residential property in Lane Cove.
Best Wishes

Dear Scott,
I am writing to thank you for the fantastic service you afforded us during the marketing and sale of our home at 31 Stuart St Longueville.
Your honest advice and approach throughout the entire campaign were very much appreciated, as were your efforts to assist us in every aspect of the marketing and sale preparation. You were very generous with your advice and time and kept us up to date at all times.
The photos taken for the marketing were fabulous, and truly showed the house in its best possible light. Your thoroughness in internet marketing and media advertising ensured our first open home to be a great success.
Thank you again for your great service which I am sure helped to secure the fast and easy sale of our home. We would not hesitate to recommend you and Holgate Real Estate to our friends.
Kind Regards

To whom it may concern
This is a genuine and unsolicited letter of recommendation of the services of Mr Scott Henry of Holgate First National in Lane Cove.
It has been a long time since we felt the urge to put in writing (particularly without being prompted) a letter of recommendation as a result of excellent service we have received. So we are pleased to do so now.
Our first introduction to Scott was approximately 5 years ago when we purchased our property. At the time I recall Scott’s dealings with us as purchases to be very professional.
So it was that when we decided to sell our property in 2007 we invited Scott as well as a number of other local agents to provide a market opinion and discuss their approach to selling our property. My wife and I had a completely open mind to this process and from past experience we were wary of agents who might inflate their market opinion or discount their fee in order to attract our business.
After interviewing a number of local agents it became very clear, very quickly that Scott had a more in depth knowledge of the local market conditions. We also sensed Scott had a very high level of integrity with his dealings with clients. Finally we liked Scott’s direct but “non pushy” approach.
Our impressions were confirmed the moment we listed the property with Scott. From day one he worked openly and proactively, he kept us informed and was available at all times. Scott conducted himself with the highest levels of professionalism taking time to explain things simply and telling it exactly how it is. He gave us lots of feedback every step of the way.
Selling a property can be a very stressful and emotional experience; Scott was mindful of our feelings and was able to communicate the progress clearly, respectfully and without adding pressure to the situation. At times during this process Scott became our confidant, trusted advisor and almost like an old family friend.
The main characteristic we were most impressed by was Scott’s integrity.
Our sale involved a lot of detailed and delicate negotiations with a number of different parties. This situation could have led to upset purchases with serious consequences for us, if left to a less capable negotiator. But Scott handled this in his stride, keeping us informed every step of the way. As result he not only secured an excellent result to us as vendors but he succeeded in maintaining respect from all the prospective purchases as well.
As prospective vendors you never know exactly what might pop up during your sale, as we found out, but having Scott on our team ensured we were well equipped to secure the best result.
Finally, we would just make the observation, no amount of pre sales brochure-ware, marketing collateral or Agency profiles that are handed out so abundantly by agents these days can make up for experience and integrity. You don’t know the true value of an estate agent until they are put to the test and we were glad we had Scott on our team.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Scott Henry and be pleased to confirm such to anybody by telephoning us on 02 9427 5879.
Thank you Scott for a job well done.

To Whom it May Concern,
This is a short note to express our satisfaction with Holgate First National, having recently sold our property through Scott Henry.
The sale went through faster than we had anticipated for a price in the higher range. We put the property on the market, asking for offers and Scott was only too happy to market our property the way we wanted and we were not pressured into going to auction or given unrealistic expectations in regard to achievable price.
We found Scott to be very professional and reliable and he was always contactable by mobile. Scott was also very considerate with regards to organizing impromptu inspections and we were kept informed and constantly updated with regards to inquiries and conversations with perspective buyers.
All the staff we dealt with at Holgate’s were very polite and personable and we would recommend them without reservation.

Dear Scott,
In the sale of my late mother, Vera Heusen’s estate, Scott Henry was highly recommended by Janet King the daughter of our former next door neighbour Mr Ron King, for whom he handled the sale of his property.
In making an evaluation of my mother’s estate, Scott showed great sensitivity to my family’s early phases of grieving and over the subsequent months maintained an approach to the sale of the property that was attentive without ever being intrusive.
When, we made a decision to sell the property Scott delivred an extremely effective advertising campaign, which translated to 87 prospective groups of buyers viewing the estate and 16 registered bidders at the auction.
At the auction, Scott performed his duties as auctioneer with a high degree of professionalism and skill, and I feel confident that the above reserve price obtained is a reflection of his efforts.
Scott was also very helpful in recommending a local real etate agent at Ashfield to evaluating my Summer Hill property for sale.
Sincerely
Peter Henson
