Linda's testimonial

Linda always provides the quickest responses to any of my questions, making the entire purchasing process very smooth. Highly recommended!

Frank Ge

"I have worked with Linda for over three years and found her to be extremely professional, and she is very focussed on getting the deal done, if it makes sense for both parties.  I never have issues with getting the data I need to assist the purchaser through the buying process, and have found that Linda is very good at matching centres with buyers, which makes my job alot easier.  Whilst I generally work for the purchaser and Linda works for the vendor, and therefore we don’t always agree, we are able to have the difficult conversations to get the best outcomes for our respective clients.  I would definitely recommend Linda to potential centre owners who are looking to sell, either now or in the future."

Richard Orsbourn - Pathfinder Solutions

"Linda did a fantastic job of selling our early childhood centre and property last year.  From the moment we engaged her services, Linda demonstrated her knowledge and expertise in the early childhood education industry. She provided us with excellent recommendations on how to prepare for the sale, navigate the due diligence process, and ultimately settle the transaction. Her guidance was invaluable throughout the entire process. Linda is a true professional who is passionate about her work and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for her clients and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell an early childhood centre business or property."
