I had the pleasure to represent Seek Invest Grow for the sale of their properties in Gordon Street, Mont Albert. This development was one of the best quality design & build I have seen in over 20 years of real estate. If you are looking to develop & require detailed assistance I would highly recommend speaking/working with Joe & Dan.
