"I was recommended to talk with John through a valued industry contact. I must admit It took a while to find the right buyer but once we did I couldn’t have had anyone better look after the sale and the process.  I was super anxious throughout and I had the added pressure of the world wide pandemic of the corona virus shutdown looming on us, amazing job! John did a phenomenal job to keep the buyer engaged and to complete the deal even thou he faced a one of the biggest obstacles in our lifetime. If it wasn’t for John I would have never ever achieved this result, his services are worth every cent."

"We initially tried to buy a business which in the end the seller didn’t want to sell, we thought this was crazy but John referred us onto a new one that came on the market and this one worked out to be a better fit. It was an absolute delight in chatting to John during our salon hunt and he guided us so professionally throughout the entire time and now my partner has her dream salon. Thanks again and good luck with the cricket." - James Polland | 11 Sep 2019 John really prides himself on offering his clients exceptional customer service, combined with his wealth of sales and industry knowledge.

Seller , 29 Sep 2020 She was the obvious choice when I decided to sell due to family commitments and she stepped up straight away. She had a lot of the paperwork still on file and quickly moved to finding a buyer. The buyer made an offer and I accepted – then Covid-19 hit! Due to the uncertainty the buyer pulled out. Nikki advised that she would return her deposit but would speak to her when everything calmed down. Nikki re-engaged the buyer, the buyer agreed to proceed and Nikki reinstated the contract.  The outcome was that my salon sold yesterday and I am delighted. Nikki did an excellent job at keeping the buyer updated and she assessed the timing perfectly to resurrect the deal AND got me a great result too! If I had another broker working on this (with less skill and experience), I am not sure the outcome would have been the same. Delighted!

Kathy Edgar , 01 Jan 2018 I bought a salon previously through a different broker, but I had spoken to Benchmark in the past and knew they had the inside knowledge and professionalism to get my salon sold. I decide to list it with them and got a great result, we even organised settlement after the Christmas trade, which was a big bonus for me to keep the Christmas dollars. I’m now able to make a fresh start in 2018 – Thank you Benchmark.

Sam & Caitlin , 11 Aug 2020 Thanks, Nikki, for taking care of me through this very tricky journey of buying a hair & Beauty business in the middle of Covid-19. We are not sure how I would have managed without your help and guidance. Here we are today the proud owners of a fabulous business and it was you that made that happen for us. It was a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to our next venture together.

Albina Jakini , 06 Feb 2020 Thanks Clyde for everything that you have done, You were there at every step to smooth out any rough times so that I could settle on the business. You knew what was happening every step of the way to guide me through what needed to be done. There were definitely a few times that I wasn’t sure if it would happen. Thank you for your help and support good working with you. Thanks again for your efforts!

” Dear Mathew Hartley, Four months have nearly passed since you sold our SPAR Supermarket at Evans Head and it is only now that I have found the time to write to you. It is important to Carol and I that we take the time to extend to you our gratitude for all your professionalism, patients and friendship in dealing with us in the sale of our supermarket.
