Recently used Neil for a depreciation schedule for my Yeppoon property. Neils price was lower than the big firms, where they were not even going to visit the property for a higher price! The schedule and report was done in a professional and timely manner and I am very happy with the end result. Happy to be recommending Neil for all your local surveying needs. Harry

I really enjoy seeing the photos you put up on Facebook Neil. Not knowing this area well they are great to view and give an idea of the areas. I am not a great one when it comes to flying, and would never sit by the window let alone look down, so it is nice to see what I have missed the few times I have been over this way. Keep up the great work.
