To Whom It May Concern
I am providing this testimonial on behalf of my brother Michael Atkins, and myself. We engaged the services of Sue to market and sell the property at 8 Cecil Road, Newport.
This was a deceased estate situation, with four executors named in the will. So there were a number of issues which had to be attended to.
I can only say just how impressed we were with her professionalism in every aspect of the sale of the property. As I live in the city, Sue completely stepped in and handled everything.
I have had previous experiences with Real Estate Agents in the past, and I would have to say this was a breeze compared to others.
So Sue, thank you, congratulations, and we wish you every success for the future. You most certainly deserve it.
With Best Regards

RE: Sue Bath of Horizon Property Marketing
It was with some trepidation that I undertook the sale of a one bedroom home unit in a very old and neglected block of units in Newport.
Sue Bath of Horizon Property Marketing had sold two units in the block just prior to my decision to sell in a very quick time, hence my decision to appoint her as the selling agent for my unit. Sue knew the block well and understood the difficulties presented to possible purchasers.
Sue immediately went to work to market the property in bothe the manly Daily and on realestate.com, explaining the benefits of both forms of advertising in understandable and honest terms.
In all areas, Sue was on the ball, honest and forthright. she opened the unit for inspection outside of appointed times, oftern working on Sundays and public holidays if that was when possible purchasers had the time to inspect the unit.
Sue sold the unit in just over 2 weeks for a very acceptable price. Her knowledge of not just the block, but the surrounding area was vast and I believe it was this knowledge that enabled such a quick sale.
Sue was in touch constantly, informing me of the attitude of prospective purchasers and seeking answers to question that were asked by those attending inspections.
I would recomment Sue Bath to anyone in the area who is looking for diligence, honesty and an agent that was trustworthy.

Sue Bath - Horizon Property Marketing
I chose Sue Bath to act as the agent for the sale of my flat (23/31 Gladstone Street, Newport) aftter she had sold another flat in the block.
From our initial meeting to the final sale, I found Sue to be very approachable, hard working and dedicated to the job of finding the right buyer offering the best price for the property.
The sale process was more complex than it might have been due to building works taking place, but Sue took it all in her strice, and continued to find potential buyers throughout this time. She confidently provided me with advice based on her considerable experience, which I trusted, always kept me well informed before and after inspections, and was willing to schedule inspection whenn potential buyers were most keen.
Sue provided personal service and I always felt that she was giving the sale of my property her full attention. She has recently been reqrded with a third flat in the block under contract. These results speak for themselves - but I would also like to personally recommend Sue's services after a sale experience made as pleasant as possible.

MISS SUE BATH- HORIZON PROPERTIES
I am providing this testimonial on behalf of Miss Sue Bath who has assisted me, my wife Patrice and my sister Fiona with the sale of a property jointly owned by Patrice and Fiona at 5/31 Gladstone Street, Newport.
Sue was extremely helpful in terms of providing us with marketing advice and how to best present the property for sale; her results in selling the property within a three week period were outstanding.
From placement of the first advertisement, Sue was inundated with potential buyers and serious lookers at the property. We were very satisfied both with Sue’s level of professionalism and ongoing communication with us throughout the sale process.
As a Chartered Accountant who has to deal with many people in business, I have enjoyed working with Sue and in having this sale consummated on a very quickly.
Sue, on behalf of myself, Patrice and Fiona we would also like to express our thanks for your efforts and a job well done.
Kind regards,

We had two other real estate agents from the local area to appraise our family home for sale. We chose Sue and write this testimonial as we have no hesitation in recommending her to any prospective vendor.
From the time we placed the house on the market Sue organized photos, advertising, brochures and signboard – all material was presented in a professional manner and all delivered on time.
Due to family circumstances we were keen to achieve a sale in a reasonable time frame. Due to Sue’s consistent hard work prior to placing the house on the market we achieved a sale with a price we were happy with in the first week.
An excellent job and result! We have no hesitation in recommending Sue to any future clients.
Yours sincerely

Dear Sue,
Laurel and I would like to thank you for your help and assistance during the sale of our house in Newport. As you know I was very ill at the time however, your professional approach to vetting potential buyers and your understanding of the circumstances made the sale much less daunting than we anticipated.
We interviewed two other agents in addition to you prior to listing and were impressed with your enthusiasm. We are pleased we selected you.
Selling our house in 7 days was hard to beat!
If you need a reference ask any potential clients to ring us on 9981 7041.
Yours sincerely,

We chose Sue Bath from a group of three agencies who did a market appraisal for our property, because of her professional approach, her extensive knowledge and experience and what we viewed as a realistic assessment of our sale prospects. We were not disappointed – indeed Sue exceeded our expectations.
We were on a steep learning curve and found Sue comforting in our ignorance. She was interested in our circumstances, always listened sympathetically to our concerns and queries, and responded with helpful advice and clear information about the selling process. Sue is thoughtful of her vendors’ welfare and morale boosting when things go pear-shaped – “don’t be disheartened…” . she worked tirelessly and effectively on our behalf and it is clear that this her usual modus operandi. Even in a difficult market her interpersonal and negotiating skills delivered us a price and a settlement date with which we were very happy.
In summary, Sue Bath is a professional with integrity, who was always there for us. We recommend her services unreservedly.

Ms Sue Bath, of Newport, Licensed Real Estate Agent, sold my home at number 243 Hudson Parade, Clareville, in February 2008.
I listed the property with Sue after two other Real Estate Agents in the area had failed to sell it.
Sue initiated the marketing with a positive and confident approach.
A major drawback to the sale of the property was a steep driveway , although the house had great views over Refuge Cove, Pittwater, on the opposite side of the street.
Sue arranged numerous “Open House” Inspections and came to the property every Saturday from the time I listed the property with her.
She gave me excellent phone reports on the Inspections which took place each Saturday and during the week.
Her persistence and perseverance were eventually rewarded with a sale to an English couple in February 2008.
As a satisfied client, I am pleased to provide this Reference and to wish Sue every success in her real estate activities.
Yours sincerely,

Sue Bath is one in a million! Sue took on selling our family home at a very difficult time in our lives. She did a wonderful job with the selling, open house, and follow ups. Sue helped us with repairs and maintenance of the building by finding us a tradesman whenever they were needed.
But Sue Bath did a lot more than that. She nutured us through the process. My husband was in a Nursing home initially. Sue took me to see him once a week whenever she was in Mona Vale. When my husband died and we removed the house from the market she continued her help. Sue supplied us with a plumber on the day of the funeral when the laundry tap decided to run. Sue kept in touch and is a genuinely nice and reliable person.
At the end of probate we sold the family home in Newport through Sue and were very impressed with the way she kept us informed during the process of the sale. We would like to thank Sue for all her efforts resulting in a sale within the matter of weeks. We have no hesitation in recommending Sue.

So thank you again, Sue and keep up the good work in our beautiful area.

RE: 1 Neweena Place, North Avalon
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you for the efforts you provided during the sale of our house in North Avalon.
From our very first meeting, you came across as full of energy, a really positive person, enthusiastic about the house and knowledgeable of real estate in the local area.
We were very impressed with all aspects of your organization, from the initial evaluation, to being kept fully informed throughout the sales process to the after sales service. You always did what you said you were going to do – the photography, signage, efficiently and on time.
I would be happy to act as a reference as I have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective vendor.
Thanks again for a good result in what many consider to be a tough market.
