Hi Gary
Sold Arnotts home
that was a feather in my cap...and one rather neat home that at one stage was owned by Sir Garfield Barwick...that was the sale that made me famous in our little world...the sale made SMH front page cause of the record price...$215,000-00
One of those auctions with folk in tears for missing out...and the funny thing was I sold the buyers house to the vendors...after those sales because these folk were rather influencial I was set.
But an interesting role one plays...cause I was dealing with professional folk used to telling others what to do and you had to take control and help them in perhaps one of the most emotionally charged times in their life..selling their home.
I could sell anything to anybody but never used my power for evil but only to help people..in my first year I sold the first house I showed a buyer with all my sales...but yes I have seen inside many jaw dropping homes and met many many interesting people...
It is hard to imagine moving all the gear by horse and cart but back then it would not have been a big deal...when I was a kid we would gather beer bottles to cash in using a huge cart and a draught horse, ...another place my grandfather's...we took the cream produced on the farm using a sled drawn by a draught horse to the pick up spot...for butter...we even went to town, Casino, in a horse and cart cause no car
I still see the old farm when going to town...I would knock on the door and buy it but they put a great big ugly electrical sub station in the valley which spoilt it for me.
