Testimonials

"Excellent experience with Simmi she was very patient and answered all the questions I had. I appreciated her thoroughness in going over things and would definitely recommend her to anyone :)"
Clara
“It was easy to work with Tyla Robinson from Foley Douglas, when my husband and I navigated the paperwork associated with selling our house. Tyla was super approachable and supportive, she explained the legal stuff to us in a plain language, and practiced excellent, effective communication all the way. Highly recommended!”
Manya
“It was a good move to switch to Foley Douglas. At the time, our mother had passed away suddenly and left the family farm in the hands of myself and 3 siblings. We could not agree on anything or progress things. Sam and Shannon took a very fair and professional approach to managing the transition and took into consideration everyone’s situations and preferred outcomes. Foley Douglas guided us all to a place that we could never have reached without them and in the end an amicable agreement was achieved. Foley Douglas are a solid and sincere service and I would recommend them to anyone.”

“Recently I engaged the services of Foley Douglas to undertake the process of purchasing my first home. I had Tom Philips and his Team dealing with my case and I cannot recommend their services any higher. Swift responses to Phone calls and Email with all the information I was asking for or needed, real easy to organize and coordinate meetings with to finalize paperwork, thoroughly explained the process of everything with me to make sure I completely understood what was happening. Tom and the team were a massive help to ensure that the process was smooth, seamless and stress free. I would recommend the services of Tom and the Team at Foley Douglas to other and I would 100% use their services again in the future. Thank you Foley Douglas”

“Hannah Mills is one word - AMAZING!! She recently helped our family with the sale and purchase of our new home. She was professional, prompt and kept us up to date throughout the entire process. She was the calm in which sometimes I felt a very complex sale and purchase but always made me feel at ease as I 100 percent trusted her. I would recommend her to all. This is our second time using iclaw and I would also recommend them to all. My mum and sister have used this firm too. Thank you for helping us get into our forever home Hannah!!”
