Mark & Kathy Cosham

As you are aware, we had a most difficult and challenging experience with another agency which was unable to achieve a satisfactory outcome within the contract period. A friend recommended going with a Jenman Approved Agency and after checking it out on the internet, we found out that T.G. Newton is one. We were delighted when Damian Coad was able to find a new home that would suit us; one that contained everything we were looking for and within our price range. We think you are a fantastic real estate agent with terrific work ethics and integrity. We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and relatives !

John Wang

Thank you Kathy Richer & Thomas Wong for selling our Chadstone investment property for such a good price in such a difficult and falling market. Thomas is certainly a good negotiator! We came to you because you have helped our family on several occasions when buying real estate. You take the time to explain things thoroughly and you are fair and honest. Many agents tell us what we want to hear, even if that means lying. I know you would never lie to get work... you are a good person and a skilled professional. T. G. Newton is an excellent company and you represent each other well. A Very Happy Seller.

Hazel & Michael Cleary

With the final process of settlement on the horizon, Michael and I wanted to express our thanks to Damian Coad and appreciation for all the hard work and attention you gave to us on the sale of our property. The world of property sales and acquisition has at times attracted some negative media attention and our own past experience has confirmed some of the things we see and hear. You can therefore understand our anxiety when looking for an agent that would be honest, reliable and trustworthy with clear views and expectations of what could be achieved. Fortunately for us Damian, you were all these things and more and we are very grateful that T. G. Newton appointed you as our agent. We have to say that at no time did we experience any feeling of apprehension or nervousness during the process.

Ken Kimber

Damian Coad and the team at T. G. Newton put in the hard yards and achieved a sale and a realisation of a settlement at a price that was acceptable to me in a period that was not necessarily the greatest of time to be selling due to the economic down turn in the housing market and in the financial sector, with predictions of more troublesome time ahead. Regardless you were positive in your approach to the task with an outcome that has allowed me to downsize my accommodation and meet my requirements for the future. I say again thanks for you involvement, attention to detail and efforts on my behalf.

Jim Gillespie

Just a short note to say a huge and sincere thank you to Lloyd Jenman for the fantastic job you did on the sale of my fathers property. Our experience of your initial explanations and expectation put our minds at rest knowing we were in good safe hands. After having other Real Estate experiences we were a bit weary of Agents. Your enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism showed and was proven by the result. WOW! We still find it hard to believe you sold it for $21,000 above the asking price. It takes years to save $21,000. You sold it in two weeks in a tough market which impressed us even more. The icing on the cake was that the property was sold above the range you quoted us, it's often the other way with most agents. This highlighted to us the love of integrity and ethics you the the team at T. G. Newton Real Estate practice.

Rose Stephens

I would like to thank Damian Coad for his assistance in the sale of my home in Glen Waverley last year. I was recommended to T. G. Newton through the Jenman Group, and could not be happier with the result. Thank you for making it so easy. You explained things, recommended certain cosmetic changes, and we arrived at a realistic price range. Seventeen days later, I was in your office signing a Contract, for an amazing purchase price. You were always helpful, efficient and courteous, with a great knowledge of the industry. Thomas is also to be congratulated. His negotiating skills are first class, the results speak for themselves. I especially like the fact that only serious buyers were shown through, and there were no 'Open for Inspections'.

Craig & Talli Brajtberg - Buyer

This letter is to say thank you to Stephen Kenna for all your hard work and dedication which you put into assisting us with the purchase of our new home in Vasey St, Bentleigh East. Your numerous efforts to ensure that we were able to inspect the property before purchase on serveral occasions has been greatly appreciated as to have your efforts to enable us to bring family members and tradesman through the property before settlement on several separate occasions. Your reliability, dedication and hard workmanship are a credit to yourself and the TG Newton Real-Estate company. We thank you for being an intregal part of the next stage in our lives, the purchase of our new home, and wish you all the best in the future

Lorena & Julian Gibson

I'm writing to extend our thanks and appreciation to Damian Coad of T.G. Newton Real Estate. He has provided exceptional customer service to myself and husband Julian in our mission to find a home in the Oakleigh area. We have since found our dream home in another suburb (Chelsea) and only wish we could have made the purchase through Damian as his attitude, professonalism and honesty was of great assistance through the process. We wish that you pass this feedback on as we both are in the customer service industry and know that people like Damian are hard to find.

Kieran & Gloria Coates

A friend recommeded Damian Coad as an ethical, honest young man who would give us an accurate assessment as to the value of our home. This proved to be correct, Damian was very professional and attentative to our needs, explaining the ethics of T G Newton & Co and assuring us of acquiring the best price possible under present market conditions, this was achieved within a very short time thanks to Damian and co-worker Thomas Wong.

Kevin Mackin

When it came to selling my late father's property recently, we considered a number of agents in and around Oakleigh - we looked at a large, conglomerate agency with a big name, a smaller agent recommended by a family memeber and T.G. Newton who we knew has been in the industry in Oakleigh for years. The key to our decision was the rapport and trust that we felt with Damian Coad, coupled with the solid reputation of T. G. Newton.

Tony & Linda Blok

Before my wife and I decided to put our house on the market, we called in three agents in order to get a valuation on our property, as indicated above. We certainly did not want to have "open house" for every man and his dog, so to speak, to walk through our home. We were delighted that T. G Newotn & Co only brought along serious buyers! In the third week of our house being on the market with Thomas Wong, it was sold by Lloyd Jenman. It was a great result and brought much relief.

Farida Jaczina

I was impressed with the way Lloyd Jenman of T. G. Newton handled the sale, and at all times found Lloyd acted in a highly professional, efficient and ever polite manner. I also found that Lloyd was always ready to help, and explain things to me. All this of course, is backed up by the fact that the house was sold in less than two weeks.

Frank Sutherland

A brief note to say our thanks to Lloyd Jenman of T. G. Newton & Co for the quick and hassle free sale of our house. I must say it was a pleasant experience and the sale went through quickly and was very easy on us. It was good not to have numerous people coming through and not have to worry about auctions and such like. Your attention to detail was great and the service at all times was pleasant and punctual. We would be pleased to advise anyone to contact you if they have a property for sale and learn about the system.

We recently engaged Kathy Richer through T.G. Newton & Co Property to sell a ground floor space within our development at 10 Yarra Street. After numerous attempts to attract a cafe operator through other agents, Kathy took this task on for us. Whilst this did not result in the sale of the property (which has now been sold for an office use), Kathy went to great lengths to attract a cafe operator. She conducted extensive research on the surrounding precinct and consolidated the information gathered into a comprehensive information package for cafe operators, and then set about directly contacting all known operators in order to attract their interest to our property. This was certainly a more pro-active and diligent effort than we generally experience with selling agents. We would have no problem recommending Kathy as a hard working, diligent and commercially savvy agent, I look forward to using Kathy in my future projects.

Rosemary Vanzo

From the initial consultation with Stephen Kenna, where a commitment was given for a speedy sale of our property in Malvern East to the actual sale within 2 weeks and for a price which exceeded our expectations, I was very impressed with Stephen's professionalism, dedication and promptness in all our dealings. I found the whole experience to be very painless and stress free. Thank you Stephen and team at T.G. Newton & Co for all your hard work and your commitment to delivering on your promises and for the even better than expected results.

We were first contacted by Kathy Richer of T. G. Newton Commercial via a letter she sent to us asking if we wanted to sell an investment property, a factory in Clayton South. Not ready to sell but curious and knowing I'd be wanting to sell after the Christmas and January Festive Season, I called. Impressed with our conversation and her apparent enthusiasm to work hard, we were happy to meet with Kathy once ready, to hear how she would help us sell our factory. We listed our property with confidence in her ability and in the culture of the Newton organization. We are please to recommend Kathy and Newton Commercial to anyone seeking excellence in service and the highest possible price when selling.

S. Correale

I am writing this letter to state that, Stephen Kenna of T.G. Newton Real Estate, sold my property in Clayton, with the highest standard of values and client care. My property sold for more than I thought I would get for it. I thank Stephen and recomend him to any property owner wishing to sell, he has lived up to everything that he stated whilst selling my property. I thank Stephen for his loyalty and wish him all the best.

Ray Woff - Director

I am writing to you to thank Kathy Richer and your colleagues at T. G. Newton & Co for the wonderful experience we have just shared. Our purchase of the property, Unit 2, 19-21 Swift Way, Dandenong South was for us a daunting task which was made as simple and stress free as possible by you. Our first venture into commercial real estate has been an excellent experience due to your outstanding professionalism, care and advice. I will certainly be making it known to all my colleagues and friends that if they are looking to buy or sell commercial real estate, Kathy Richer and Newtons should be their very first call.

Yvonne & Dennis Roberts

We would just like to thank Stephen Kenna and your team at T. G. Newton & Co for the excellent way in which you conducted the sale of our home at 6 Edwin Crt, Clarinda. Your total professional approach, the sale of our home in just 11 days, the price you achieved, many thousands above estimations, was all quite amazing, we were extremely happy with the overall outcome and very pleased we chose Newtons, and have made this point to family and friends. Again Stephen thank you very much.

Garry Hall

I am writing to let you know what wonderful, professional and friendly staff you have on board with you at T.G. Newton Real Estate Agency. In particular Nathan for your care and understanding when I had done just about everthing wrong regarding the agent I had handling the property at first and who achieved nothing at all for me. Then within only a matter of days Damian Coad & yourself came down home and before I had even thought of a sale there was a proposition of sale down on paper. It has been a true pleasure to deal with yourself and the others and I cannot speak too highly of your service. If in future I can recommend your company to anyone I would only be too glad to do so with the highest regards, my sincere thanks to all.

Chris Park

I would like to thank Lloyd Jenman of T. G. Newton & Co for your excellent service and professional approach that you have shown to me and my wife towards the recent sale of our property. We were very pleased with your professional knowledge and advice that hepled us understanding and making right decision throughout the sale. It was no easy process but your help was a great contirbution. Most important thing is that the sale price exceeded our initial agreed price. We are very happy with your service and your great efforts benefit us the most and I have no hesitations in recommending you to anybody who wants to sell their property. We will definitely come back to you when we look for the property for ourselves. Once again, we thank you for your honest efforts.

Barry & Frances Helfenbaum

We just wanted to thank you and commend you on your honesty and truthfulness during our short dealings together. We came to you, unsure of how to proceed with our property, and after listening to your business policy of no sale no charge, we decided to choose you and T. G. Newton & Co for our sale. It all sounded to good to be true. We had great confidence in your attitude, and work ethic! Your valuation on the property was spot on, and you were truthful about the end result, instead of sugar coating it, and just telling us what we wanted to hear. More importantly, we can't believe how wonderful you have been in understanding that we ended up selling our property to our tenant, even though we were involved with you. Regardless, you helped us, and expected no more than a thank you in the end! Certainly, you love your job, and are not just there for the money. You pride yourself on customer satisfaction. Dean, you and your company are really one out of the box. You really bring truth and itegrity into Real Estate. You should be proud to be a stand out amongst your peers, that usually give your industry a not so good name. We will always highly recommend you to anyone selling a property, and would never hesitate to use you again. I will be forwarding this to the REIV, to commend you and Newton's.

Anne French

Thomas Wong, I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you for handling the sale of my property.... Thomas, you always arrived at my front door with a big smile and very professional manner when showing clients through the property. It was a pleasure to do business with you, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone considering a real estate transaction.

Anne French

Stephen Kenna, I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to yourself and the staff at T. G. Newton Co for handling the sale of my property. Your company and staff are to be complimented on the professional manner shown to me. It was a pleasure to do business with you and I would highly recommend your services to anyone else considering a property sale.

Diana Pearson

In summary, our experience of selling our home with T. G. Newton & Co was exactly what we wanted in that it was stress free and conducted ethically. The new purchasers are also happy with their experience of dealing with Damian Coad, so all in all it was extremely positive. Not only did he achieve an excellent price, he always kept in touch and was unfailingly courteous.

Pam McCoull

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen Kenna of T. G. Newton & Co. for the professional manner in which you carried out the sale of my late mother's property. You listened to what I had to say, and acted on my wishes - and unlike many other estate agents, did not try to force your oipinions on me. I would also like to convey my thanks to your colleague Thomas for the amount he managed to sell the property for, which exceeded my expectations.

M. Owens

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff at T. G. Newton & Co particularly Lloyd Jenman, for the magnificent way they conducted the sale of my property in Bentleigh East. Lloyd managed to sell my home of forty years in the space of 2 weekends and at a price which I was most happy. It couldn't have been any easier.

Warren & Bernice

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to Lloyd Jenman of T. G. Newton & Co Sales Pty Ltd for helping us in the purchase of our new home. It is rare to find a real estate agent so passionate in helping others.

Janet Ashworth

We have been very happy with Thomas Wong your service at T.G. Newton & Co Sales Pty Ltd.

Stuart Dawson & Irene Elefteriadis

We would like to thank Thomas Wong of T.G. Newton & Co for your enthusiasm and effort in selling our home in March 2007. You found us a buyer in the range we were hoping for, in a little over two weeks. It was great having inspection by appointment rather than the open house process that a lot of other companies use. We didn't have sticky-beaks coming through the place, just a few people who were serious about looking for a new home. And you are right - that is a much better way to go about it.

Kevin Woods

Our daughter brought Lloyd Jenman of T. G. Newton & Co together with the 'Jenman' house selling concept to our attention. I spoke to you by phone and through your office obtained several copies of 'Don't Sign Anything' and of 'Real Estate Mistakes'. Because of the books, we sold in an informed manner and knew what to do. So thanks.

D. Mann

We were pleased when we met Stephen Kenna of T. G. Newton and discovered your professional attitude towards a possible vendor. You never once brought any pressure to bear on us to sell, but guided us in a helpful, realistic way. What occurred after signing with you was a continuation of the professionalism you had shown to us. Stephen, although it was only days that we placed our property in your hands, we were thrilled when you sold our home in leass than two days at a good price.

Mr & Mrs Haughton

Thank you Lloyd Jenman & Thomas Wong for selling our property in such a short time and for getting a good price. You were there for any questions we were unsure of and knew we could reach you at any time. We appreciate your good work and thank you once again for your efforts.

Peter Loughnan

We wish to express our sincere thanks to Damian Coad and T.G. Newton & Co Sales Pty Ltd for the speedy and professional manner in which your sales team handled the recent sale of our property in Oakleigh South. The sale was made within 3 days while obtaining a most satisfactory result.

K Rule

On behalf of our mother, my brother and I would like to take the opportunity to thank Damian Coad for facilitating the sale of her property in Mount Waverley. We were particularly pleased with Damians professional approach to the facilitation of the sale, that is, in providing a frank assessment as to the value of the property, accurate opinions as to the nature of the property market and a forthright statement of the agent's role and obligations when representing us during the selling process. Further, and of greater importance to us, we were appreciative of the promptness with which T.G. Newton found a buyer at above our expected price and of the conditions of sale that Damian negotiated with the buyer on our behalf.

Helen Beyer

T.G. Newton's was chosen because of it's prominence and longevity in the area and right from the inital contact I found the service excellent. Damian Coad arrived promptly and spent time listening to me and inspecting the property. He gave a very clear impression that his priority was to obtain the best price possible for our home. A key was made available as it was seen as a suitable property for potential buyers who were already well known to the sales team at T.G. Newton & Co. The sale was very professionally managed and completely painless as we had already relocated to South Gippsland.

Stephen M Andrews

At the end of an extended process I can look back and acknowledge that we have achieved a great outcome. My initial impressions of you as enthusiastic, committed, professional and ethical have been supported through the ups and downs of a challenging market. The achieved result - the successful sale of my Hughesdale property - only validates my choice. A choice and relationship that, even in review under what we both realise was a difficult market. I am pleased to recognise was what contributed to an excellent outcome. In the end I can only say that the reasons I selected you to handle the sale of the property are the same abilities and personal charater that provided me with the yardstick by which I could measure other agents.

Flora Larkin

I would like to thank TG Newton for their high level of customer service. All of the Newton's staff from the reception staff to all of the agents were efficient, helpful, always punctual and very professional. In this current down turn in the real estate market it was great to obtain a very satisfactory price for our family home in Hughesdale whilst other homes in the nearby vicinity have remained unsold, months after being passed in at auction. I have no hesitation in recommending Thomas Wong and wish him all the best in the future, both professionally and personally.

Terence Welch - Seller

From the outset, which led me to sign with Newton's was the highly professional and sincere impression given by Stephen Kenna. He was incredibly enthusiastic and set about ensuring that every client who might possibly be interested in my property was shown through and encouraged to put in an offer. When negotiation was down to the wire, Stephen was willing to go back to his buyers to try and achieve the maximum they were prepared to spend. The result was satisfaction on my part that I had gained the best possible price I could have achieved in what had become an unpredictable market. I think the measure of an agent is now how well they perform when the market is buoyant, but how well they step up when things are not quite as easy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stephen and the team at Newton's to anyone wanting a hard working, no nonsense, straightforward and honest approach from their agent when selling their house. As may be appreciated this is not always the case when dealing with Real Estate Agents.

George, Andreas & Sofia Tzouramanis

Thank you so very much for all your assistance with the buying & selling of many of our properties over the last 8 years. On many occasions you have achieved record prices for us; in particular in our family home in Clayton & our developments in Clarinda, Mount Waverley and Chadstone. The recent sale of a townhouse at 7 Newton St, Chadstone achieved $622,000; an outstanding result! I would strongly recommend any property seller to contact Damian before selling. We look forward to working with you again in the future! Many Thanks

The King Family

We wish to express our sincere thanks to Damian Coad of TG Newton & Co. for the service we received whilst selling our family home. When we decided it was time to sell our home, Damian was the first agent we approached. Over the ensuring few weeks we interviewed other agents, but not one compared to Damian in terms of his ethical philosophies, his marketing and negotiation skills and his knowledge of sales in the area. Damian understood the difficult decision we had made to sell our home of 49 years, he clearly outlined the process, the fees and our rights and responsibilities regarding the sale of the property. Most importantly he treated our family with respect. We knew we were in safe hands! Once the property was on the market it sold within 10 days and for not a cent less than we wanted. But this was not where Damian's service ended. Damain introduced us to agents in the Carrum area in which we planned to purchase a home closer to our new grandson, and accompanied us to Carrum on two occasions (once at very short notice) to assist us with negotiations for the new property. At all times Damian exceeded our expectations in the service he provided. Buying and selling a property is a stressful and complex process and we could not have done it without Damian. Thank you Damian for the relationship you have nurtured with our family and for the assistance you have provided in both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new townhouse. You are the standard we will always measure others in your profession against.

Neville Green

An impressive meeting with its representative Stephen Kenna promoted me to chose T.G. Newton & Co. to act on my behalf. Ten potential buyers were shown through my home resulting in several firm offers - one of which I accepted - all within four working days. Most importantly, the price achieved exceeded my expectations and was significantly above the appraisal figures put forward by other agents. I owe sincere thanks to T.G.N. for their courtesy integrity, thorough professionalism and a job extremely well done.
