        Would highly, highly recommend ����
        I have used Aaron and his team on a few occasions now and honestly I have been so impressed with how helpful they have all been. My most recent dealing with them was to sell a property for my business and they achieved full asking price within a matter of days of its listing. They always keeps me up to date with progress and when issues do arise, as let's face it they do with property, they are always 1 step ahead in looking for a solution to resolve it. Keep up the amazing work guys. Would highly, highly recommend ����

        Thanks for helping us buy our first ever home!
        Found our first home through G&B, everything was super easy and just a pleasant experience, even though we had a few issues here and there with the bank they were a go to source of help, and kept us in constant communication - went out of their way to help us meet the banks requirements. We also had the pleasure of meeting other team members who also went out of their way to accommodate a visit for us when the sales manager was off work. Can't rate them any higher.
