28th June 2014 - Vendor - Farnham Street, Flemington

"Jayson Watts and Clare Moloney of Marston Cook in Flemington successfully sold our property at 36A Farnham Street, Flemington in June 2014. Our house is quite unique in its location and features and from the start Jayson and Clare both understood and interpreted how to present this to potential purchasers. At all times they were professional but friendly in their approach and the communication throughout our campaign was exemplary. Their honesty was appreciated and it was refreshing to have an agent who listened to our suggestions and incorporated them into the marketing campaign. When discussing advertising packages, we felt that Jayson and Clare presented the most appropriate package to us rather than the most expensive and then worked really hard to get the fantastic coup of negotiating editorial space in the Financial Review and The Age. We were very happy with the solid result achieved at auction and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both Jayson and Clare to future vendors."

11th May 2014 - Vendor - Chatham Street, Flemington

“My wife Kathy and I have been so pleased to work with Siahn and Paul in the sale of our home in Chatham Street, Flemington. Throughout the campaign both Siahn and Paul displayed honesty, integrity and hard work in achieving an outstanding result for us. We would recommend other sellers to do as we did and work with Siahn and Paul. They are a great team and complement each other’s strengths really well.”

30th April 2014 - Vendor – Wellington Street, Flemington

“I chose Marston and Cook over other agents because they knew the local area so well. Throughout all steps of the process Jayson's communication with both myself and prospective buyers was excellent. The team at Marston and Cook worked hard to achieve the best result possible.”
