“I have been selling hotels, motels and businesses for some 36 years now and have always enjoyed the field of business broking. Mind you, a lot of effort and preparation goes into the documentation to ensure that the business is presented in its best light and that all information is accurate,” John told WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“There has never been a better time to be in real estate in Tasmania. We are now in second position on the economic performance rankings and Interstate and overseas investors have really warmed to our State. Consequently we are experiencing very high levels of enquiry, so our quality assets have very little trouble in selling.”
