You’re the only local conveyancer I’d be happy to work with for my own purchase. You’re a pleasure to work, I think I speak for the office too!”

Coffs Harbour Saleperson

“I was swamped by the complex process of subdivision and had nearly given up. Then along came Safe as Houses and took over the whole thing. They kept in touch with regular updates and managed neighbours, surveyors, council and conveyancing. Now I’m free to stress about other pressing matters, like fishing. Great work SAH!”

“You’re so on the ball. Thank you for your great work”
