We were very pleased with Templeton Robinson . Thought they provided excellent and professional service and in particular a big thank you to Nicky and William. The move was complicated and stressful but went very well.
- Wilson and Sharon Small
I am writing to thank Nicky and in particular, William Liddell who successfully guided us through the sale of our family home. They were professional and attentive to the family’s needs throughout. Despite a few knock backs, their positive attitude and commitment to the task drove the sale over the line. Wishing you continued success.
I was very pleased with how Nicky managed the sale of our house. She has excellent people skills and negotiated us a great deal. I am asking her to sell another property for me and I would recommend her and Templeton Robinson.
