"Dear Paul, My partner and I would like the thank Bernice Melnikas.Over the years we have purchased numerous residential and investment properties and I can assure you that Bernice is perhaps the most professional agent we have dealt with. We had an instant rapport with Bernice and she presented the property in a manner that put us at ease. There was no hard sell but a manner and presentation that was very credible and made it a pleasure to decide to negotiate the purchase. At all times Bernice kept us informed, repeatedly showed us the property and highlighted various aspects. I know her efforts resulted in a sale and purchase to which both vendor and purchaser were more than satisfied."....Gary, Kingscliff.
"Dear Bernice, Just a little note to say a big 'Thank You' for the very efficient and friendly way you handled the selling of my unit in Kingscliff. I felt I could trust you completely and that's not an easy thing to do these days."...Jean, Morningside.
"Bernice Melnikas you did it again! We have sold and bought two properties under your guidance. On both occasions you provided us with very professional and caring services. You put in the hard yards for us every step of the way. Because of your regular 'touch base' phone calls, we were always up to date with progress throughout the selling and buying process. This kind of reassurance certainly made a difference to us during what, we think, is a very emotional time for a home owner. We cannot speak highly enough of Bernice. In our dealings with her she showed commendable enthusiasm and professionalism and great knowledge of the market - so much so, that we received a sale price for our house which far exceeded our expectations."...Brian, Coolangatta.
"When thinking of selling our unit, we were advised to contact Bernice Melnikas of LJ Hooker Kingscliff by a neighbour who said "we could find no one better to handle our sale". A visit from Bernice gave us full confidence in her ability to asnwer all our questions, explain all facets of the advertising, costs etc and her assurance that she would keep us informed as needed. For honesty, trust and satisfaction in her dealings with us, we totally recommend Bernice to anyone wishing to make use of her real estate capabilities."...Audrey, Kingscliff.
"I would like to convey my thanks to Bernice Melnikas for the manner in which she conducted the sale of my mothers property. Bernice was able to negotiate the full asking price and the sale of furniture which was above our expectations especially during a time we considered a 'low' in the real estate market. Bernice kept me informed on the progress of the sale and she handled the sale with compassion and empathy as it was a stressful time. I would highly recommend Bernice to anyone considering buying or selling a property."...Lyn, Korora.
"Bernice, Thank you for keeping in contact with us and thank you for your professional manner and service.
When we first came to Tweed Valley we were looking to purchase two properties and after spending time with most of the other agents, it was your follow up and genuine interest in our needs and requirements that meant two sales were secured through you.
Your follow up whilst we were back in Sydney enabled us to make accurate decisions on our purchases.
Being in the industry myself for 15 years it has been a pleasure dealing with someone who keeps you informed and updated at all times. This is so rare in the Real Estate industry.
When the decision was made to sell again, we knew you were at LJ Hooker at Kingscliff and we followed you. I believe that whilst a companies profile is important, it is the sales person you deal with that is the reason you go with a company."... Graham, Sydney
