Aim High sold our property in Parkmore in 2009 and we would like to commend them for their complete professionalism.  Apart from this it was always a pleasure dealing with Arlene and Irene and we were never pressurized to accept unsuitable offers.  At all times they acted in our best interests.

Dear Arlene

Now that we have found a moment since our relocation to the UK, I just wanted to thank-you for all that you have done for us. If truth be told, Neil and I were hesitant to use you on the sale of our home as you are a really good friend of ours and I don't like to mix business with pleasure. After long thought and after hearing from other friends how professional you were with them, we decided to sign with you. Well, thank goodness for that! You took lots of stress off of us and your help and hard work showed through and through. I don't know how many other agents would have had two offers on our home in such a short time and in the current market we were in. Your professionalism and continual help has been greatly appreciated and like I say - we could not have done this move and sale of our property so smoothly without you. I hope you have much success in the future.

Your friend,

Dear Arlene,

Please accept my apologies in this late response, but this by no means should discount how thankful I am for the service Aim High Properties has afforded me through the process of selling our property in Parkmore.

You have remained professional and tenacious under the most trying circumstances. I appreciate that you were always prepared to go the extra mile and that you took personal time out and exceptional effort to assist us.

Thanks again and I would definitely be back with Aim High if I was in the position to sell another property.

Kind regards

I have been using Aim High Properties to manage my investment property in Sandringham since 2002 and have been thoroughly impressed by their professional manner toward finding tenants, handling renewals and dealing with the day to day issues that I am not able to deal with. Being out the country caused some early anxiety about my investment, but I found their communication to be top class and they have never let me down. The tenants have been good and the place is in great condition. I highly recommend Aim High Properties as an agency. Grant Nay – Australia

  Many thanks.

Dear Arlene Blackburn Aim High Properties

Now that the dust has settled I thought that I would convey to you how very pleased and satisfied we were with the level of service and the professionalism that we received from you during our purchase of 46 Rivonia Axis.

From the time that you came in contact with our daughter Simone you showed that you were personally and genuinely interested in finding her a suitable property. Simone has heaped an enormous amount of praise and gratitude on your interest in her as well as  your effort. I thank you for that.

From my side the sale went through without a hitch, albeit a few days delayed with the public service strike. I appreciated the arrangements that you made to accomadate the separate visits to Johannesburg  by  Janeen and myself.

All in all Arlene a very pleasant experience in dealing with you

Sincere thanks

We found Aim high to be very professional and incredibly efficient. It is not often these days that one finds a company that responds to queries and returns calls within the same day and keep you informed as Aim high do. From start to finish a very professional group to work with.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

We are accountants acting as trustees and do not live in Johannesburg and have had many disastrous years of having Estate Agents give us nothing but bad service including charging where no service was given, dishonest repair bills, stealing our funds,  and lies, just to mention a few of the dramas!

A friend of ours who lives in Johannesburg had a child at the same school as Arlene’s child and we were put in touch with Arlene and her team. We were very skeptical about trying out yet another organisation but read up the references that had been given and acted on the solid recommendation of our friend.

Arlene and Candice took on the management of three small properties for a trust in which we are trustees and things were a mess, to say the least. There were months worth of unpaid rental and electricity bills due from the tenants, expired leases to attend to, a battle to collect funds due from the previous agent and from a bad tenant, etc. All of this was done over a painstaking month and emails went back and forth daily. Candice and Arlene never gave up, the just persevered and kept chipping away until all of the problems were solved. We were presented with a small bill for their efforts and that bill was really not in line with all of their hard work so we paid double the amount on that was on their invoice.

Administration of the three properties has never run as smoothly as currently and we have no hesitation in highly recommending Aim High Properties to anyone who should require their services.

Yours faithfully

Hi Arlene

I wanted to formally thank you for assisting us in selling our home. We think you were professional, ethical and extremely helpful. You were also extremely flexible, which allowed us to continue with our lives while you managed everything in the background. It was a pleasure to work with you and I will definitely return to you next time I am in the market. In the mean time, I will refer your service on to friends and colleagues.

Regards

RE: Letter of recommendation – Aim High properties (Arlene & Mark Blackburn)

It is with great pleasure that I would like to recommend the services of Aim High Properties. We recently marketed our home through Aim High properties and have found Arlene and Mark’s service to be truly outstanding.

They have conducted themselves with honesty and integrity and have been very focused in their marketing efforts resulting in significant exposure and interest in our home. We, however, never felt manipulated or pressurised in any way, but rather like valued clients.

Thank you Arlene and Mark for a job well done!

I have been using Ella Blackburn of Aim High Properties as a letting agent for some years now and have found her to be professional, efficient and friendly. She is keen and a good businesswoman who knows her market.

To whom this may concern.

Being located outside South Africa, I have logistical issues relating to my Johannesburg based investment property. Since taking ownership of the property a number of years back I have used the services of Arlene Blackburn from Aim High Properties to initially find suitable tenants and subsequently fully manage the property. I have always found the Arlene very pleasant to deal with and professional in the handling of financial and property maintenance matters.

I highly recommend the services of the company.

To Whom it May Concern

We rented an apartment through Ella Blackburn for a period of two years.

We found her to be extremely professional and helpful , often going the extra mile to make sure that things worked out well.

Yours sincerely

Re: Referral Letter

I have worked with Arlene on a number of deals. She has managed to sell three properties for me and has assisted in the rental of another property. She has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and conducts herself in the most professional manner possible. I would highly recommend Arlene to anyone as she really gets things done!

Regards

I represent Aim High Properties, specifically Arlene Blackburn, as the agency’s Property Finance Consultant. In all the transactions I have been involved in, Arlene has always gone out of her way to assist with any requirements. In assisting me to arrange her buyers bond finance, she ultimately streamlines the property transfer process, therefore benefiting her sellers and buyers in the best possible manner. She has always conducted herself and Aim High Properties in the most astute manner, and I would certainly recommend any seller or buyer of property to her.

Regards

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Ella Blackburn has conducted her agent duties with the highest degree of
professionalism, courtesy and commitment. She has been available after hours
and on weekends to oversee outstanding work that needed to be done in my
flat. She has always addressed my enquiries on matters relating to the
apartment block timeously and has been very efficient in dealing with such
matters. Ella sets and upholds standards that are often sadly lacking in
ambit of real estate letting. For this, I congratulate and thank her.

With appreciation

Hi Arlene

I have wanted to write this letter for some time to say thank you for your most professional service in assisting me to sell my house.

When one thinks of selling their house, we immediately worry about the reputation most Estate Agents have “given” the Industry. In your case however, the entire process was handled proactively, confidentially and thoroughly professionally. Your regular follow-up, and attention to detail was much appreciated.

You certainly do maximize the fact that you are a sole-proprietor, and not part of a larger Estate Agent Group. This allows you to be personally involved, negotiate preferential rates, and be accommodating in your Service delivery.

I wish you every success in the future – you certainly deserve it! I will be recommending your services to anyone that may need them.

Best wishes and kind regards
