MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET WHEN YOU SELL YOUR PROPERTY!
A few statements from past clients:
Jens, we would like to thank you for marketing and
selling our property. We chose you to sell our property because we had seen
other properties in the area with other agents signs on them for months then a
place2live sign would appear and the property would sell in a matter of weeks.
You were very helpful throughout the whole process and unlike other agents we
have dealt with you kept us informed and answered your mobile phone when we
rang. You have a very good knowledge of the area which is a great asset, we
would recommend anyone selling their property to at least have a talk to you
first. T & S Taylor
I would just like to thank you for all your help, advice
and experience during the entire process of our house sale. From start to
finish you were so helpful and getting a contract within 10 days and settling
not long after was unbelievable for such a low fee. Thanks Jens, I have already
recommended you to a number of people and will continue to do so. M & N

Jens, we are so delighted that we were able to sell
without having to pay agents commission. We have saved literally thousands of
dollars. I was very impressed with you and your business the day we met and had
every confidence in the process from then on. It was not stressful at all. It
was actually fun and we were in control of the whole process, it felt good.
Interest poured in once we registered with you and you entered that fabulous
blurb on the internet. Without your advice and support we couldn't have had
such a fabulous result. I have no reservations in recommending you to friends
should they need to sell their own homes too. C Turner
Jens gave us a highly professional advice and a diligent,
excellent service, all this with 0% sales commission. The house was sold a very
good price, and he was always available for any issue during the selling
process. N Bludau & F Alonso-Marroquin
I recently sold my property through Place2Live and I
highly recommend Jens Raun. This is the perfect way to sell your property Jens
makes the process very easy. You save thousands of dollars he also gives expert
advice. The internet has changed the way in which real estate now operates, as
I am an independent person I loved the option to show and sell my own property
saving an incredible amount of money for both buyer and seller. I highly
suggest you make enquires to Jens Raun to see the options available, I know I
will be choosing Place2Live too sell again in the future. A Lee-Bernstein
YES...we would we use Place2Live again...YES...we will
recommend it to our friends...We just sold our property through Jens, and have
nothing but praise for his service. He has always been available, helpful,
giving us good advice. He was very patient, and approachable, explaining the
ins and outs to people who do not know much about Real Estate dealings. At the
same time he was very professional in all our dealings. We did have some
contact with other agents prior to signing with Place2Live, and do not regret
going with Jens’s formula, using the internet as a main marketing tool. Another
plus , is his fixed low commission. When we put our house on the market, the
economy was not coping very well and we thought it would be very hard to
achieve our asking price. Jens never tried to make us change our mind, instead
tried to generate more interest in our property. We are really thankful to him
for his friendly and outstanding service. C & M Lake
Having bought property in the recent past using “real
estate .com” web site almost entirely in the search and weeding out process it
became apparent to me what a powerful marketing tool the internet was to
present your property to prospective buyers. If only I could find some one
offering such a service to get the property up on Real estate .com minus the
other services and accompanying hefty commission’s of other agents. A Google
search brought up “place2live” offering just such a service called “assistance
to you”. Despite the scepticism of family an friends I decided to give it a go.
Even though I have never met Jens I was impressed by his professional approach.
He has an impressive set of tools at his disposal which he is prepared to use
to help you. He encouraged me to present extra things for the internet eg
drawing up a floor-plan. [something I have rarely seen]. His willingness to use
Emails for communication was excellent. The result was more than one serious
inspection the first day it was up on the internet. With offer and contract
soon to follow. We have already recommended “place2live” to others. I Aspland
We have found the service provided by place2live
outstanding. Initially, we tried to sell our property using the standard real
estate agents, however without success. They always tried to talk our price
down and point out why we should accept a lower offer as our property lacked
this or that, meanwhile trying to drum up more business for themselves during
open houses. place2live was like a breath of fresh air. Their business idea is
unique and works incredible well. At all times you are in control and nobody
knows the good features of the property like you do. Our internet ad looked
great & generated a lot of interest. Jens was always helpful and available.
One of the best things about Jens - you felt like he was helping you at all
times to achieve your goals, not out for his own gain. And on top of all of
this .... there is no commission to pay at the end of it! We only have praise
for Jens at place2live and can highly recommend it. J & S Wearne
I'm very happy to recommend Jens Raun to any prospective
seller. I opted for the fixed fee marketing, and the support I'd got from Jens
was rely great and nothing was to much for him. after only 4 weeks I had a
successfully contract on the property and Jens was making it so easy for me. I
certainly would have no hesitation to use his service again any time. I Zehnder
After speaking to two other agents, we invited Jens Raun
from Place2Live to our home for his appraisal. Jens had already sold a home
(twice in fact) in our street in a fairly short period of time. Jens introduced
us to his process of ‘internet’ marketing and we must admit we were very
sceptical at first. He proceeded to give us ‘all the right reasons’ and we
could see it was the new way of selling real estate in today’s market. We were
absolutely amazed at the response he received and the genuine enquiry was a
result of the information he provided on the website. This information
virtually qualified all the enquirers. Jens is a professional agent and genuine
in his approach and we have already recommended Jens and Place2Live to others.
T & L Smith
I run a business and time is of the essence in all, that
I do. I am delighted with your service and the way my property was marketed,
managed and ultimately sold for the full asking price with no conditions. All
correspondence was timely, informative and honest. The service you provided and
the flexibility you offer in your marketing is highly recommended and good
value. I was very attached to the house and selling it was emotional, you made
the whole process painless and easy. I have already highly recommended you to
everyone I know and if your services covered a wider geographical area, you
would have sellers coming to you in droves. J Parsons
As a real estate agent I found Jens Raun to be very
professional and motivated to get the desired result. In particular his
flexibility in regard to his fee made a big difference at the end of the day. I
would have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to my friends
and colleagues. P Cutler
We'd like to take this opportunity to thankyou very much
for your hard work during this process. Rarely in this business do you meet an
agent who is as approachable, patient and considerate as you. Sandy and I both
felt very comfortable dealing with you and you certainly made it all very easy
by staying in touch, offering your advice and basically keeping us in the loop
the whole time. Most importantly you never pushed us or placed any pressure on
us in anyway and that was just what we needed at this point. I wish you the
very best for the future and will definitely be keeping your card in case we
decide to sell. Thank you once again. S & S Riggien
First of all, I just wanted to say, thankyou so much for
all your help with selling our property. Secondly, I will have no hesitation in
recommending you to anyone for future real estate dealings. From the first
moment, you carried yourself in an above average professional manner, and your
personal commitment to honesty and loyalty are what impressed us the most about
you. Not only have you the specialised background and experience in this field
which give you an edge over other agents, and which allows you to offer a
comprehensive and detailed service to customers, but your relaxed, friendly and
'no-pressure' personality make you a joy to work with. Thank you again for all your
good work and friendly company. Good luck with all your future endeavours, both
professional and personal. L-A Wiseman & G Steinfort
Just a couple of lines to say thank you for the great job
you done in selling our property recently. We appreciate the honest and
reliable work you carried out and the effort you put in. We would recommend you
to family and friends. G & J Enchelmaier
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
your valuable assistance with not only the purchase of our new house, but also
in the sale of our old house. Jacqueline and I both found the service you offer
to be extremely professional and non-intrusive. After having used mainstream
real estate agents in the past for our property transactions, we found the
service you offer to be a “breath of fresh air”, not only did you offer us
sound advise you also made the whole purchase and sale less stressful and as a
bonus we saved a considerable amount of money. I would have no hesitation in
recommending your service place2live to anyone looking to transact in the
property market or even just after sound non-biased professional advice.
Jacqueline and I wish you all the best in your future business dealings. S
& J Walker
We never met Jens, but we can certainly commend him as a
master of managing a successful transaction via e-mail. E-mail is the easiest
way to manage a sale at a distance and Jens knows how to use it for effective
communication. A satisfied seller. G & B McIlroy
I never thought that I'd want to write a thankyou letter
to a real-estate agent, but I was so impressed by the way you handled the sale
of our property I felt compelled to express my gratitude in words. While you
certainly acted in a professional and diligent manner it was all the little
other things that really made us fell comfortable with you representing us,
your honesty and integrity in our discussions, the time you put into ensuring
each house inspection was as if you were selling your own home, your
thoroughness in making sure people were really interested before you brought
then through, your knowledge on our property and the market was specific, not
generalised like so many other agents … I could go on! I short Jens Sue and I
were absolutely delighted with your service. M & S Solari
We would like to commend you for the effort you have put
into selling a property that other real estate agents found too difficult. The
property, as you are aware, had been on the market for a period of 3 years with
little interest from buyers. We then decided to give place2live a chance to
sell the property and we were very impressed with the detailed information and
photos you produced and displayed on the internet as well as the 2 page colour
fact sheet that you handed out to each potential buyer inspecting the property.
Not only did you have a contract signed within 9 days from when you took on
managing the sale of the property. You managed to include a "sunset
clause" in the contract allowing us to continue the marketing of the
property and you continued to find prospective buyers and in the end buyers
were bidding for the property so we ended up with an even better contract than
the initial one. We can honestly say that with the effort that was put into
selling the property we would recommend you to anyone who wanted to sell a
property. L Welch & A Gilbey
We had our property listed with another agent for 2
months. We only had a few inspections and no feedback. When Jens stepped in he
gave us a realistic market appraisal, produced a detailed marketing plan, took
approx 50 photos and uploaded them within 24 hours to a dedicated property
photo web site, produced a property fact sheet & listed the property on the
internet. Jens did not change the listing price, but did tailor a new
advertisement to attract the potential buyers. Result: Within the 2 first weeks
we had 5 qualified buyers, got continuos feedback and got 3 offers. We
successfully negotiated a price (slightly less than the listing price, but in
line with Jens's valuation). Our recommendation: If you are serious about
selling, don't hesitate to contact Jens - you will not regret it! K & D
Roxborough
We are happy to recommend the services of Jens Raun. He
helped us to achieve a quick sale of our property in Samford Valley at a price
we were happy with. We might add that this was achieved after another real
estate agency had been unsuccessful in selling the property at auction. Jens
developed a competitive market research plan justifying the suggested sale
price range and a sales and marketing plan for our property. He spent
considerable time with us discussing the format and content of the internet
advertisement and perhaps most importantly suggested the need for some clean-up
and maintenance to be carried out before opening the house for inspection.
Additional services included the establishment of a dedicated property photo
web site, development of a property fact sheet (to be handed out tom potential
buyers). Jens uses modern means of communication, such as internet and SMS. If
you are thinking of selling your property, we strongly recommend that you
contact Jens; you will not be disappointed. R & R Joscelyne
The decision to sell one’s largest asset can be either an
arduous or trouble-free experience. Jens Raun presented a strategy for the
listing and promotion of our unique property which convinced us to exclusively
use his services. True to his word, Jens was open and honest in his appraisal
of our property and worked in partnership with us in developing a successful
marketing plan. Throughout the campaign, Jens provided us with the
communication feedback that we have come to expect from property professionals.
Jens’ attention to details and enthusiasm for attracting the right buyer for
our property was refreshing, to say the least, with the end result being a successful
sale. We have no hesitation in recommending Jens Raun to any prospective
seller. C & D Buckley
