Testimonials - Sales

McLeay - HIGH ST

Zelda and I are real thrilled at the professional attitude of Scott and his team.

Scott quickly identified where we should be in the market, and quickly set about structuring up a sales plan. Their vast network of contacts saw Zelda and I have a secure buyer with a few days of the "SOLE AGENCY LISTING". Real quality negotiating for both parties with sincere outcome.

Thanks to the team of Cec Mann. Well Done.

Margherita and Peter Hambly, Stanthorpe

In this day and age, the amount of criticism that continues to be levelled at employees and companies in service industries seriously concerns me. Not because these criticisms are not justified, but because there is no corresponding praise for those who excel in the same field. My wife, Margherita and I, some time ago, asked you to represent us in the sale of our property here in Stanthorpe. From the word go, you went out of your way to explain many of the complexities associated with selling properties. You went much further, by providing us with statistics and information to assist us in making marketing and advertising decisions. May we both take this opportunity to thank you for your professionalism and personal attention to our selling effort. We are happy now to have successfully sold our property and we shall always remember the help and assistance you offered us on the way. There is no doubt in our minds that your success in this field will have to be a very satisfactory progression and we would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who needs either to buy or sell real estate in the Stanthorpe area  -  or, indeed, in any other geographical area  -  now or in the future.




Sharon, David and Dylan Graves, Stanthorpe

Firstly, David and I have bought and sold properties in New Zealand and our worse nightmare was dealing with real estate agents but thankfully we found decent, 'normal', down to earth people in Cec Mann.  We felt you have done your best to help us and have been prompt in all aspects of this purchase.  We would definitely deal with you and Cec Mann in any future dealings.  You are why we live here.  We are very happy with our land and intend to make it a wildlife sancturary one day.  Thanks again.


Ray Weavers, Brisbane

Thanks for the excellent service over the some 10 years from Cec Mann & Co.  Absolutely would recommend your management services to any future customers and certainly if the opportunity to have another investment property in Stanthorpe, will contact you first.

M. De Lacey - Brisbane

In 2002 my husband and I purchased a property in Stanthorpe. We enlisted the help of several Real Estate agent in our search for a suitable holiday home and eventually bought a lovely cottage through Cec Mann & co.

For five years our family spent many enjoyable weekends and holidays in the Stanthorpe Shire however as family circumstances changed we decided to sell. Rembering the excellent service we received from you back in 2002, it made sense to list our home with your company.

The appraisel you made and the advice we received from you with regards to marketing, time frames and setting realistic price were completely accurate.  Consequently we achieved a sale within a couple of weeks.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing us with such friendly and professional service and to wish you well in your future endeavours.




R. Neville - Stanthorpe

I found Scott Mann to be very professional at all times. He was informative and was always willing to answer questions, even after hours. He supported me through the whole process and was knowledgeable about advice with banks and conveyancing.  I was very happy with the service from Scott and his staff. The office staff are polite and helpful.  I would have no hesitation in using this office in the future if I want to buy or sell a property.

Suzanne & Neil Marshall

Neil and I were extremely happy with our dealings with First National. We would not hesitate to use First National again.

Our first point of contact was with Kaylene, She was extremely helpful, honest and professional. She has a very good understanding of the Stanthorpe area, which we found very helpful with making our decisions.

Her dealings with regards to negotiations and assistance in dealing with the seller were timely and cool, calm & collected. She was very real with her assessment of situations, which we found invaluable.

We would not hesitate to use First National again and we probably will.

Kaylene's advice & help after the sale had been finalised was great. She is an asset to First National.

De Vivo & Bolton - TORRISI TCE

I am writing on behalf of my sister and myself to thank you for your efforts in securing the sale of our parents home in Stanthorpe. The real estate market has suffered due to the global financial crisis and this in itself has made it a difficult time for anyone selling a home let alone the person given the undertaking to sell the property.  Your enthusiasm and diligence never wavered and we both thank you for this. We were both thrilled that you sold the property as you had originally sold it to our parents in 2007.

To you and your staff, particularly Kaylene and Rachel, a big thank you for making what to ... and I was a very stressful event so much easier.

I certainly will be recommending your company.




Del Mitchell

It is with satisfaction that I continue my association with Cec Mann & Co. as both salespersons and letting agents. Past property manager Kaylene was always exceptional to deal with, and now Sue with her punctual, polite businesslike mannner has given me complete confidence allowing her to handle my rental property and tenants.


Marlene & Ernie Jones - Stanthorpe

Marlene & I must congratulate the whole team at First National Real Estate Stanthorpe for the first class service we have received during the purchase of this property.

Scott Mann made us feel so comfortable and went out of his way to ensure all our questions and concerns were fully addressed. That assistance went as far as introductions to local tradespersons to assist us with our settling in to the Stanthorpe Community.

It was and is clear to Marlene & I that the business ethics espoused (sic) by Cec Mann in establishing this business have been carried on by his son Scott with pride.

Finally we would have no hesitation in recommending Cec Mann & Co. to any of our friends who were considering buying or selling real estate in the Granite Belt




Wal Newlands: Camira

Hi Scott & Kaylene, What a relief that is to have the sale over and done with and mum was over the moon when I rang her to tell the settlement was complete. On behalf of mum and the rest of family I just wanted to say thanks to both of you and the rest of your staff for your effort in selling what was the family home for some 46 years.

Sams - RIIFLE RANGE RD

The team at Cec Mann & Co Real Estate led by Scott, Kaylene and Simon have provided us with very courteous, timely, friendly , and professional service in the sale of our home.

They have provided good advice; positive feedback after showing prospective buyers; and responded promptly to our concerns.

We recommend their Agency to buyers, sellers or renters, as they have provided service to us in all three areas in the past.




John Rouhan

A "yes" to all questions. I'm completely satisfied with all the dealings. A big thank you to Kaylene Drake she was very helpful.


Mr Mulhall & Ms Pollard - BRIDGE ST

Many thanks to Scott and team at Cec Mann & Co. First National Stanthorpe.  Scott recently sold our home and his help and support was wonderful.  Scott and his staff are friendly, reliable and very supportive.

What was very helpful was feedback, after open house or after lookers had been through, whether it was positive or negative it helped to know what were being informed as to what was happening.  In the past with other agents we were never given feedback.

Good team effort and keep up the good work guys!




Beeston - THORNDALE RD

Thank you for the successful efforts that you made in connection with the sale of my property.  It was very pleasing to be able to accept an offer in excess of the asking price within a few days of listing.

I appreciate the efficiency and positive attitude demonstrated by Cec Mann & Co. together with the work devoted to potential viewers before the property formally went on the market.

Communication was excellent and I will have no hesitation in recommending your firm to other.




Carver - NELSON CRESCENT

We would like to express our thanks to Scott Mann and staff of First National (Cec Mann & Co.) for selling our property, which had been on the market with other agents in town for quite some time.

When we put our property with First National, Scott informed us he would sell our house quickly and did so in just seven weeks.

We found First National to be very professional and exhibit an excellent understanding of the market to enable our house to sell quickly through an Exclusive Agency with them.

We also felt that First National gave us personal attention, listened to our views, gave good advice and were committed to actively promote the sale of our property, all with no extra cost for Exclusive Agency.

We also welcomed the weekly e-mail reports of how many viewers had seen our property on l ine, also the update of other similar priced properties for sale in our area.  This we felt kept us in touch with First National, a different approach and one we approve of and wish other agents would do.

We can highly recommend First National (Cec Mann) to other sellers who are seeking sensible advice and good service from a Real Estate Agency who works at selling properties with tenacity.
