SUBURB REPORT //2018 AS AT 30 JUNE 2018

REPORT BY CAMERON NICHOLLS

A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL I sincerely thank you for obtaining a copy of the Abbotsford suburb report. The purpose of this document is to provide you with an understanding of the area you live in and that we are passionate about.

Before you read on, I would like to introduce you to my brand, Nicholls & Co Estate Agents is an independent boutique brand. I started the company with the mantra “Personalised not franchised” as I truly believe that as a self-governing brand, I am able to offer a more highly personalised service, where you deal one-on-one with the Principal of the agency. My sale campaigns are unique to each property and tailored to each and every need of my vendors. We are not bound by the somewhat strict branding guidelines that confine large franchises. Nicholls and Co is a fresh young brand and I pride myself on our cutting edge, innovative marketing initiatives.
