Highly recommend agent and agency” Paul Kerr East Port Motor Inn

I  am pleased to have the opportunity to talk about David Head. I have done  business with David before, I find him helpful , obliging and always a pleasure to work with.   Les Atallah

We would just like to thank Mark Tuck for his efforts and professionalism throughout the sale process of our leasehold motel, it was greatly appreciated.  David and Wendy

Thank you, been a pleasure dealing with Mark.

Thanks to Tony Johnson in assisting us with the sale of our Motel business. We appreciated Tony’s down to earth, no nonsense style when dealing with vendors and buyers alike. Above all it was his integrity that gave us confidence we were dealing with the right person.   Ian & Janis Burton

My gosh Gerard, what a fabulous email to receive. I’ve never had anyone send through voluntarily such an informative and valuable email and I mean that with every sincerity. You gave me options, you offered me solutions, you advised me of things I didn’t know and you asked for nothing in return. I’m so impressed and if I could buy a business from you in absolute principal I would and if the opportunity presents itself, I most certainly will.   So, thank you.

Great service! Our agent Barry is the most professional agent we have ever met. He is patient and friendly.

Barry Bolwell did a good job of selling our motel which was a difficult process given the number of lease years.  Barry didn’t give up and achieved a satisfactory result.

The purchase and sale of properties will always be critical times for vendors and purchasers alike. And in critical moments it is vital to surround yourself with good people who have your back and provide the support to safely traverse what can be demanding and emotional times, fraught with confusion and hidden dangers. We are so grateful that Reg Partington and Annette Adams were in our corner in the recent sale of our Ballarat property, providing timely, sage advice, expertly oiling the sale mechanism, massaging it to fruition. And importantly constant, effective communication outlining potential leads and competent assessment of prospective buyers. It was a joy to watch these masters plying their trade and we couldn't have been more delighted with the outcome and can happily and confidently recommend them to other property sellers or buyers. If only the rest of the industry aspired to the same ideals. Thank you! Jim and Karen Barritt  

Attention:  Debbie Nicholson and the Tourism Brokers TeamWe wanted to express our appreciation to Debbie Nicholson for the recent sale of our motel.  Throughout the process Debbie was very professional, attentive and appreciative of our situation which continued throughout the entire process.  To reach the great result we did was a result of her dedication and commitment.With kindest regards,Andrea and Andrew Shaw

Thank you to David Head at Tourism Brokers for the professional and personal service you provided.       David calls in on a regular basis to touch base so this is why we chose him to act on our behalf.Judy, Paul and Chris

To whom it may concern, Recently, I went through the process of purchasing a leasehold motel property. I went through various other brokers, but I finally made contact with Tourism Brokers and especially a sales executive by the name of Debbie Nicholson. Initially, I wanted a property in her area, but after that fell through I continued the process with the help of Debbie. Eventually I managed to purchase a leasehold property outside of Debbie's area.  Even though it was out of her area she continued to provide support during the whole process.   The service that I have received from Debbie has been nothing short of extraordinary. She has put in so much time and effort in, far beyond what was required and even expected.  At times the process was very stressful and complex, but I knew that I could ring Debbie at any time and that she would have an answer for me or if she didn't she would go out of her way to find the answer.   For all her effort, support and advice I can not thank her enough and would have no hesitation recommending her services to anyone else.  Regards Andrew Beck 

If you are thinking of selling your Motel call David Head at Tourism Brokers for a very good broker no hassle at any time he will do what he says with drive for your sale. Neil Ryan City Centre Motor Inn Armidale NSW  

Hi TonyBoth Andrew and myself would like to say thank you for all of your hard work making our purchase of our Motel  a very smooth process. Your knowledge of the industry is outstanding,  the advice and referrals you gave us were a fantastic help to us.    You kept us in the loop about what was happening at all stages.  The vendor is happy with the result and we are very happy with our purchase. We will certainly be contacting you when we are ready to sell and recommending yourself to anyone thinking about buying or selling.  Well done and thank you so much.CheersRegardsAndrew & Donna

When I decided to list my motel for sale I contacted Peter Gay of Tourism Brokers to handle my sale.I found Peter to be very well informed and professional during the whole process, always keeping in touch with all parties to ensure everything from the exchange of contracts through to settlement went smoothly. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone buying or selling.Roger Horton

We have just sold our business through Tourism Brokers and the agent Tony Jonhson could not be anymore helpful. Tony is the real deal. He works for the Vendor but more importantly if your looking for total professionalism look no further. In our many years of working with sales people and brokers we cannot really fault the service that Tony and his company supply, every attention to detail is looked into. Tony works through all the processes - inspections, dealing with accountants- and clarifying the items for Lawyers and helps significantly with recommendations for finance. Tony is the true all rounder. He's in our opinion the best in the business so if your seriously looking at purchasing a management rights business go with the Best Tony Johnson Tourism Brokers. Pete & Belinda former owners of the Grange Resort Hervey Bay

I would like to send a belated thank you to Peter Middlebrook with regards to the sale of our Motel in Narooma in April 2015. He was courteous and professional in bringing closure to the sale in what would be record time.Thank you Peter to you and your team for an easy transition between the new owners and ourselves.Darren and Karli

With reference to Sales Executive Tony Johnson, My wife and I would like to give our highest recommendation for Tony.  Tony has recently sold our Management Rights business in Hervey Bay. I would like to thank him for making the process of selling our business so hassle free. Tony kept us updated throughout the entire process. This is the second time we have dealt with Tony firstly to purchase and then to sell. On both occasions Tony was extremely honest, reliable, hardworking and courteous at all times. Anyone desiring to buy or sell Management Rights should use Tony with his in depth knowledge and know how, and the numerous professional and personal contacts he has in the business, places him in an enviable position from where he can take advantage of opportunities for his clients which other agents can only dream about. I believe this alone sets him apart from all the fellow agents in the Management Rights market.   Yours faithfully, Carl & Natasha  

Tony, It shows the true professional that you are, it's evident why it's absolutely imperative that specialised agents are used as both Buyers and sellers are emotionally and financially attached and to keep the Lawyers from going off into the abyss and dragging everyone and their check books with them. Both Belinda and I are truly grateful for you assistance and yes we look forward to a coldie or two at settlement, thanks again Tony, you're a real credit to Tourism Brokers, I doubt they could ask for better representative, Cheers Peter and Belinda  

"... Our early searches were along the east coast then a business associate made a wise statement "Coast for show, inland for dough". After lots of late night discussions, we decided to put the emotion away and look at the return. After all, this was a business decision. Research showed Dubbo as a booming rural city. We contacted Mike Phipps Finance Brokers to be sure what our finances would allow and then contacted David Head from Tourism Brokers and outlined our requirements - Had to be more than 20 rooms (otherwise the balance of staff / you doing all the work gets tricky), had to be in Dubbo or surrounds, had to have good access for guests to have optimum experiences, preferably B&B, although restaurant was not out of the question, we wanted to purchase and settle before Christmas (this was September!) and of course, needed to be in our price range. David was heading o/s so Michael Philpott took over the search and arranged a group of inspections that fitted the bill. We inspected everything put forward with an open mind. Michael spent hours following us around, participating in discussions and stepping away when appropriate. He was open and honest and we felt confident in his professionalism. We met with city council personal, the tourism info staff and as many local as we could to get to a 'feel for the place'. Our experience everywhere we went in the area was positive, so with Michael as our guide and negotiator, he steered us through the process and on 30 November 2015 we became the proud leaseholders of the Shearing Shed Motor Inn Dubbo. Guess that means it's the kids turn for the road trips.." Anne and Trevor December 2015

With heartfelt gratitude for Tony Johnston Finally we are settled!!!  I just wanted to write with a HUGE thank you.  It's been one heck of a journey and I honestly don't think it would have happened if not for Tony. We met Tony in Hervey Bay when we listed our property, Santalina, with him and several other Agents.  We did eventually take it off the market - it really wasn't a good time to be selling, but as Tony was the only agent who had actually done any work other than just listing it on the internet, he was the only choice when we decided to sell Dolphin Waters. He found a buyer for the property fairly quickly - a time of rejoicing, and settlement was set for April 2015.  All the Due Diligence went through fine, until just before settlement, when the buyers lawyers discovered that an Extension Agreement hadn't been signed.  Everyone was in agreement that is was an oversight - someone in the Body Corporate office had a human moment.  It happens.  And the plan was to get the document signed and then ratified at an EGM.  So we were at stalemate.  The buyers wanted to buy.  We wanted to sell.  Our lawyers and the buyers' lawyers were both on the same page too.  If Tony hadn't jumped back into the fray at that time our banks would have foreclosed due to lack of security.  Everything we have worked for would have been lost.  Tony, independently consulted another lawyer and subsequently found a way around the stalemate.  He spoke with us, with the buyers, with all the lawyers involved, with the Body Corporate and brokered an agreement which, although not the best terms for anyone, was workable for everyone.  Throughout all this Tony kept the buyers' spirits up; helped them keep focus on the ultimate goal - buying Dolphin Waters; arranged several changes in purchase price commensurate with the various happenings and generally kept the ball rolling. There were a few hiccups before Settlement was finally able to go ahead, but I just wanted to say that we found Tony to be an amazing Agent who has gone over and above any expected level of service.  Without his work in bringing this sale to a good conclusion we would be in a disastrous position.  Mal and I would not hesitate, at any time, in recommending Tony with the highest possible gratitude and praise. With best wishes  SUE AND MAL

Dear Donna I would like to say a few words about Peter Middlebrook who was acting as my agent for the sale of two properties. I would like to thank Peter Middlebrook for his assistance. It was an absolute pleasure working with him. Peter is a professional, upfront, and honest man with great attention to customer service for both vendor and purchaser. He was able to help us sell our business, he managed the whole process - viewing, negotiation and settlement, with great professionalism. He ensured that both parties were well taken care of. Very happy with outcome and would recommend Peter Middlebrook to anyone. Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the team as well.   Thank you Kind Regards Timonthy Lee Managing Director

Thank you Barry for all your help in making our move to Ibis as easy as possible. Drop in for a cuppa if you are ever passing by. All the best Heather and Ross

Hi Donna,We have had the park on the market for nearly 2 years with other agents who did very little to sell our business.  When Barry Bolwell entered the picture, things changed quickly.   It was obvious by his approach that he was "fair dinkum" in his endeavours, and although Brian & Michelle were going to be new to the industry, Barry by his own experiences, was able to guide the sale to fruition.  He was extremely good, and we again thank him for his endeavours, together with your marketing prowess.  Thanks again, Rex & Dinah  

Dear DonnaThank you very much for your companies assistance in this sale.Tony Johnson has done a fantastic job - a true professional who assists in every aspect of getting the deal done.   We appreciate his and your organisations assistance.Regards John and Natalia

The service provided to us by Tony Johnson during our purchase was exemplary, his knowledge, experience and attention to detail combined with his manners and personal attention was only a phone call away, anytime. Then, after the sale, nothing changed, all of the support and information we could ask for was still freely available.We cannot recommend him highly enough and think you will have to go a long way to find anyone else as good as he is.Regards,Clem & Mel

Hi Donna,We have decided to take the Motel off the Market.But I would like you to pass on to the bosses what a great job Debbie Nicholson has done for us.Debbie was the only broker who took this on for us and she was fantastic, so many people came and had a look and she received lots and lots of enquires.I know Debbie worked very hard for us, and she always rang me and kept me in the loop.I will recommend Debbie to look after any Motel sale we ever have again and anyone I know who is selling or buying I will pass on to Debbie.Again please thank her for us at Deer Park Motor Inn.RegardsSue Winnacott

Hi MichaelMany thanks for a fantastic seminar over the weekend. Unfortunately I only managed to attend the MR seminar on Sat at last minute. I wonder if you can send through the links for downloading the presentations, it is extremely useful while I am searching for suitable rights. I also would like to access the motel presentations.All the best and thanks againRon

Dear Tourism Brokers,We would like to thank Tony Johnson for his genuine honesty, support and guidance in assisting Ty and I with our first Management Rights purchase.From our first meeting with Tony Johnson we felt we would be in good hands having Tony as our Management Rights Broker - and we were right! THANK YOU very much Tony for your guidance and support . Your genuine care with your clients is a service that is hard to find these days!  We would highly recommend Tony Johnson to anyone that is thinking of purchasing a Management Rights business. Ty & Lee Cornwell

It is a real pleasure to have this type of feedback and communication. I am very pleased to have signed up with Tourism Brokers. Thank you Tricia.  Regards,Chanelle

David, good morning to you. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas with your family and I also hope that you make many sales in 2014 and the year is full of health and happiness.At the changeover of the Pines Motel in Armidale, I spoke to you about the manner in which Debbie Nicholson handled all aspects of the sale, both before and after.Over many years of buying a selling property, my wife and I have come in contact with many agents, some good and some bad.I will say to you that this lady is the best I have come into contact with.Her attention to detail, her super quick responses to emails and telephone calls were nothing short of outstanding.Debbie was so helpful with us as well as the outgoing owner, that the sale, we feel, went as smoothly as any sale can go.  Our solicitor, Chris OBrien at Coffs Harbour commented many times that it was one of the smoothest sales he has handled and I have no doubt whatsoever that a lot of that had to do with Debbie.David, I do not want to go overboard about my comments but fair dinkum, Debbie was very, very good.In years to come when we sell, or buy again, if Debbie is doing what she does now, she will be my first point of call.I would be appreciative if she could be told of my comments, also my comments told to whoever they should be told to at your hear office.Sincerely David, it was a pleasure dealing with your company.My kindest regardsBob Sheppard

Thanks for being the best MR broker in Australia. Merry Christmas to yourself & your Family & have a Nice New Year.

We fell in love with the Pages River Caravan Park at Murrurundi, NSW. When the park came up for Auction we were in Queensland and did not want to travel to NSW for the Auction just to be outbid, so asked David if we could Skype. He readily agreed and during the Auction his wife held the laptop so that we could see what was going on.  Bidding on Skype and also being on the mobile at the same time was intense, but David's constant reassurance was much appreciated. We were the highest bidders and now own our perfect piece of real estate, now known as Murrurundi Caravan Park. We highly recommend David Head to any Vendor or Purchaser. He has great experience in the industry and really cares. He is softly persistent in that the purchaser doesn't feel pressured in any way, and gives great advice on the property or business, whether it be negative or positive, so that the purchaser has all the facts prior to making a decision. If we ever decide to sell the park, it would be David we would automatically ask to look after the sale.Doug and Carol

I would like to commend the service provided by Debbie Nicholson during our protracted search for a Motel suited to us, our situation and our location.After being in the motel game for 20 years, we would have to say, it has been the best service we have ever had from a broker and I tell you, we know them all, but she did not hesitate to investigate and acquire any information that we requested, within hours in most cases and that was passed on to us without any delay.We have already recommended her to potential customers and will continue to do so.We all do good jobs but recognition is short coming.  Both Ken & myself have  taken this moment  to provide this short letter of recommendationAnd gratitude for a job well done.RegardsMargaret & Ken

We would like to thank you all so very much for all your hard work in helping us to be successful in getting the Annerley Motor Inn.  It has been a long hard slog for you all and for us also.  Once again thank you all. Regards Cheryl and Darryl. 

Your company was far and away the best broker to deal with. Unless we have tremendous bad luck in the next couple of weeks our motel has been sold and we should be gone sometime in the first couple of weeks in June.Thank you for all your help. 

Hi Reg, You and your team have done a particularly good presentation of our business.  It looks so good we wonder why we are selling?Seriously, well done and hopefully it will help achieve the result we both desire.Regards,P, S and K

Hi David, Janet and I would like to thank you for all the hard work and effort you put in to help us sell the Caravan Park. We really appreciate the lengths you went to, to ensure we had a smooth transaction on the sale. We both wish you the best of luck for your future. Kind Regards, Calvin and Janet

Dear David, We would like to sincerely thank you for your work in selling our motel. We've only been in the motel industry for 9 months and to be frank we haven't enjoyed it. We made a mistake and we wanted to get out without too much delay. We listed the motel with four motel brokers and while some introduced a few lookers who were not really interested and wasted our time, you took the time to select only genuine people and your client has now purchased our business. This was the first and only client you introduced. My wife and I have felt confident and comfortable with your handling of our sale from day one. You have been totally honest and you have also worked hard to overcome a few hitches along the way.  It has been a difficult time for us but we thank you for achieving a very fair result and for making the process as easy as possible. Sincerely  Bill & Yan DayTamworthNSW 2340

Just a quick note to thank you for such an informative and enlightening seminar that your company put together.  Every element was extremely interesting, especially Tony from Holmans, and David from Tourism Brokers. Everybody that attended seemed to get so much more out of the couple of days, than they were expecting. And all of this was done without any strings attached - just good, sound advice - for FREE!I would recommend that all prospective clients/buyers, should attend one of these seminars if they are new to the industry, as we are.  The information you supplied is invaluable.Thank you again for a great couple of days.Sincerely,Pete and DiYamba NSW

Thanks for your assistance - you are a class above most others in your industry, who consider themselves to be too important to be bothered with people like ourselves who only plan on spending less than $1.5 million! Will definitely contact you again in 2 or 3 years for the next one.Ron and Lindy
