We would like to thank you for your efforts in selling our property at auction. Your knowledge, advice, professionalism and sincerity are absolutely first class. From our first meeting we felf comfortable and confident in your ability. You kept us informed and up to date throughout the process. On the day of the auction, Richard and his team worked hard to obtain the best possible price. We highly recommend the name of W. B. Simpson & Son and in particular Richard Simpson and Syd Sherrin. Thank you once again for managing our property sale. Alan Ryan & Janice Ellis: Park Drive, Parkville
Dear Syd and Tim, I am writing to express my gratitude for the way W.B. Simpson & Son, and both of you in particular, handled the sale of my home. Before engaging your company, I met personally with five other real estate agents. Upon meeting with you and Tim at my home, I had no hesitation whatsoever in employing W.B. Simpson & Son. This was the result of the way you conducted yourselves and treated me. Never once did I feel you were more concerned with competing with other real estate agents for my business, or trying to squeeze the most out of me. Instead, you treated me as a unique and genuinely valued local client that you wanted to represent the best way possible. To be frank, I’ve never been overly enamoured of real estate speak and conduct, which often I find alienating if not irritating. Both you and Tim differentiated yourselves from generic real estate modes (and every other real estate agent I met) with your personalised, attentive, genuine, and straightforward approach throughout the whole campaign. This was without doubt importantly reassuring and confidence inspiring for me. I’d also like to mention Darrrell Simpson, the auctioneer, whose approach exhibited all of these same characteristics. At our meeting prior to the auction, and at a very nervous time during the auction, I found him too to be eminently forthright, calm, trustworthy, and reassuring. In sum, your whole team demonstrated to me that you were always focussed on my interests. Finally, the advertising campaign was excellent (particularly impressive was the Melbourne Times spread), and the research you compiled and feedback you gave was professional and helpful. I won’t hesitate in recommending W.B. Simpson & Son in the future.

What a fantastic auction sale this was on Saturday last! In the face of the information I had regarding the currently somewhat slackened Melbourne Property market, the hugely successful sale result is beyond all expectations and naturally I am thrilled about the outcome. I am sure this must represent a landmark in W. B. Simpson & Son’s sales history and will, in future, get cited to prospective sellers, just as you cited your experience with the property sale at Roden Street, West Melbourne. Mr Peter Wells’ staying in touch with me via mobile phone throughout the auction enabled me to witness Mr Richard Simpson’s impressively and skilfully conducted auction, thus contributing to this most extraordinary sale result. All my thanks to you for your continuous help and most professional support all round, for liasing with me on all matters and with all other parties involved. I could not have wished for a smoother collaboration and operations in preparation of the auction. I am most grateful for your fabulous engagement. Thank you again.

Thank you for the excellent job you did selling our apartment in North Melbourne. I recall a meeting with you several years back during your tenure as property manager to discuss whether we should sell the property. Your advice was to hang onto it for a while as you felt there was growth in the market. This honest advice was reflected through the sales campaign that led to a successful sale at a price we were happy with. There was no pressure to sign at a level we were uncomfortable with and no unreasonable costs. Further to this assistance, in effect the whole project management of the renovation of the entire property was done seamlessly and at most reasonable costs. I have never known a selling agent manage a renovation. Thank you again for your hard work, assistance and integrity throughout this process.

My husdand and I would like to take this opportunity to thank W. B. Simpson & Son realestate and in particular Richard Simpson for achieving such a great result on the recent sale of our home in North Melbourne. Selling your home can be a rather stressful time in your life. Instead, the stree was taken from our hands due to Richard and his team's professionalism, integrity and total commitment. The effort and the manner in which we were provided with feedback and constant contact to ensure us that the campaign was running well emphasised the fact that Richard and the team really are driven by ensuring their cleints are satisfied. In addition, the auction process was handled in a very professional manner, resulting in an excellent result. We have no hesitation in recommending Richard and the team from W. B. Simpson & Son real estate and we firmly believe they deliver the results and their service is exceptional. in the future.

Many thanks to W. B. Simpson & Son from a happy vendor. Of the encounters and quotes received from other agents I had asked to present this sale, I chose Richard because of his upfront and competent manner. I felt at ease, not pushed nor confronted with promotional promises of "what we can do for your to get the best price". Although the price is the key factor of any sale - it is how it is reached, and I beleive it was Richard's professional dedication and confident approach that sealed the success and early sale of my unit, at the price I wanted. Thanks again to the team at W. B. Simpson & Son - another sold storey.

Edwina and I would like to thank Syd and all the staff at Simpson's for a perfectly prepared and coordinated marketing campaign and sale of our property. We have always been of the view that having a local agent with an intimate knowledge of the area is a sensible approach and your agency exemplified the wisdom of that position. We speak from experience as having bought and sold a number of properties we have seen the best and the worst of agents. Your attention, support and advice throughout was exemplary and the final result was excellent as was the conduct and completion of the auction itself. We would highly recommend your agancy to any prospective vendor. another sold storey.
Richard & Edwina Stewart: Roden Street, West Melbourne
Syd & Tim, thank you for your excellent service in procuring a sale for my unit in Flemington Road in such a short time frame ie. 2 weeks and achieving such a great sales price. The reason I selected your firm was that all my research of the North Melbourne property market indicated to me that you were the most lively and high profile agent. W. B. Simpson & Son consistently had more listings than any other agent and more importantly achived stronger sales prices/results. Another benefit was that you were local agents who knew your market and were a long established business with a good reputation. From a customer perspective the key ingredients of exceeding expectations an an excellent overall client experience were present. Furthermore, I would certainly utilise the services of W. B. Simpson & Son again and would not hesitate to recommend your business to friends and colleagues. Once again, thank you for your prompt, professional and efficient service as well as achieving a terrific sales price in relation to this transaction. Well done from one happy customer. another sold storey.
Ian Busch: Flemington Road, North Melbourne
Just a short note to express out thanks and gratitude for your hard, diligent and honest work in the sale of our properties. Your advice, guidance, clear and concise communications as the no nonsense, professional approach to marketing was greatly appreciated. Not to mention, of course, how pleased and satisfied we were with the outcome. Again we thank you and wish you all at Simpsons further great results in the future.
John Agius: Miller Street, West Melbourne
I wish to recommend the services of Syd Sherrin, the sales manager at W.B. Simpson & Son real estate. I was extremely pleased with the way Syd handled the recent auction of my flat in North Melbourne. I found him helpful, courteous and honest at all times, and would have no hesitation in going to him for further services if required.
Lesley Skinner: Molesworth Street, North Melbourne
Having used W. B. Simpson & Son for a number of years to manage my properties, when it came to be time to sell a property, I turned to them even though the property was in Mitcham. They ran a very cost effective but prominent advertising campaign that resulted in numerous buyers bidding competitively at Auction. The result was a sale price that significantly exceeded the figures suggested by the agents and that was well above my expectations. The finalisation of the sale went through without a hitch. Thanks for a job well done W B Simpson and Son.
R. Muhlen: Mitcham Road, Mitcham
I am the fourth generation of my family to deal with W.B. Simpson & Son and I am very happy and impressed with the level of service, attention and kindness shown by all staff in selling my property.
Cathy Schapper: Rathmines Road, Hawthorn
We were very impressed with the review of the Professionals we received from your firm, your advice regarding preparations and the multi-media advertising program paid off. The auction was extremely well conducted and achieved top dollar on the day. We would definitely use your firm in the future and recommend your services without hesitation.
Dennis Lever: O’Shanassy Street, North Melbourne
W.B. Simpson and Son has been involved over years in the auctioning of 6 properties in the estate of my parents. Their service has always been of the highest standard, the results of the auctions eminently satisfactory and I have nothing but praise for Darrell Simpson and Syd Sherrin.
Sherlie Clarebrough: Bayswater Road, Kensington
We are writing to thank you for the way you handled the auction sale of our flat last Saturday. We were extremely pleased with the sale price and we were most impressed with the conduct of the auction. We also appreciated the professional manner in which you approached the whole marketing program. Syd Sherrin gave excellent service in keeping us constantly informed. We were pleasantly surprised with the number of buyers you produced, which was reflected in the sale price you achieved for us. You are certainly the ‘Real Estate Professionals’ and we will be recommending your firm to our friends.
