Testimonials
As an elderly woman with limited sight, I was not looking forward to the complication of selling my house. I asked among my friends: "who is a good land agent?" A name came up: "Jen Bhati". The moment I walked into the office, the warmth of Jen's greeting was reassuring. She was everything a person in business should be: sensitive, kind, understanding, helpful and efficient. She told me my little cottage would be advertised next month. But there was no need for that. Resourceful Jen found the perfect buyer within two weeks. The entire process was easy and enjoyable. I not only had my house sold without fuss, I have found a new friend in Jen. I warmly recommend her. - Dame Joy Cowley-
Jen literally went above and beyond for this property sale. Public Trust were acting on behalf of a client, and the property was located quite far from where out office was actually stationed. Jen made sure the property was checked on almost daily, she arranged contractors to attend to quotes and remedial work, she dropped boxes off to the office, her communication was fantastic and even when we hit some bumps in the road, she did everything in her power to remedy things and get us back on track. She is a knowledgeable agent, and a great person to work with. Highly recommend Jen. - Public Trust Representative-
I'm sure that very few people could honestly say that they enjoy the process of selling their home, with all the uncertainty of what will happen and when. However, having Jen's calm, encouraging and positive approach makes the process so much easier. Jen keeps up great communication throughout the process, she is professional and knowledgeable, whilst also being her friendly, bubbly, positive self. Thanks for working through this chapter with our little family Jen, we are so grateful! - J.D.-
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better agent. From the very beginning she was professional, knowledgeable and completely on our side. Selling our home felt overwhelming at times, but she made the entire process smooth, stress-free and actually exciting. Her communication was amazing — we always felt informed, supported and confident in every decision. She worked so hard behind the scenes and it truly paid off. We’re beyond grateful for the result she achieved for our family. If you’re thinking of selling, we 100% recommend her. She’s not just an incredible agent — she genuinely cares. - Joel Ladbrook-
