I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Mellissa Gibson for her proficiency, compassion, and commitment to urgently finding my family a beautiful home. Cameron and i contacted all the real estates in Cessnock when we needed to urgently find a new rental for our family; sometimes as a 'tenant' real estate agents can make you feel not as important, however Mellissa went out of her way to show us a property on Friday afternoon (6 days at that stage to find a new home) I was starting to panic as i was getting no where with other agencies. Mellissa understood the predicament we were in with the last owner/landlord and showed a high level of understanding and empathy. Within two hours after viewing the property Mellissa phoned all our references and employers and we were approved. Mellissa's dedication is commendable. Thank you so much Mellissa for everything you have done for my family, you provides us with an amazing house that is now 'home' to us. We are extremely grateful. You are an amazing Real Estate agent and we would love to recommend you to others.
