Jane Neilson, Shandon Park Partnership, Sapphire QLD

“I have known Brett for many years and in that time he has always displayed first class professionalism, making him an easy choice to sell our property. The sale process was smooth and easy with no complications or hiccups. I think that due to Brett’s extensive knowledge of land and cattle, he was able to offer both parties fair assessments concerning all facets of sale in order to find a fair compromise on value. Communication between both parties via Brett was excellent and never through the process did any ‘surprises’ or ‘unknowns’ arise that could cause conflict. Highly recommend using Brett as an agent and will not think twice about using his services in the future.”

Steve Drury, Manager – Alexandria Station, The North Australian Pastoral Company

“We have been associated with Kerrod for approximately 5 years in which time he has helped us to buy and sell cattle. Our first dealings with him were when he was working for Elders Moura. During this time we realised his values aligned with ours; the most obvious being his honesty. In addition to this we’ve found him to be hard working, knowledgeable and courteous.

When Kerrod moved to Top X CQ we decided to continue our association with him as we value their approach to selling and marketing cattle. This approach differs from most agents in that they are aiming to help you manage your business not just sell your cattle. As we understand this, they are trying to build long term relationships with their clients by selling the class of cattle that is most beneficial to your business, not necessarily what they can make the most commission out of at the time. We have no hesitation in recommending Kerrod as an agent.”

Alastair and Melanie Shannon, “Wirra” Banana QLD

“Brett presents himself as efficient, very professional, friendly and always willing to give a hand when a little extra cattle work needs doing. Brett is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of land use and cattle production. I hope to have many more dealings with Brett in the near future.”

Jarvis Collins, Stud Cattle Breeder – Tungamull QLD

“We are writing to commend Brett Christie for his professional approach to the marketing our properties “Panhandle” and “Pyramid” in recent months. From the initial discussions Brett displayed a genuine desire to understand our requirements and what we were wishing to achieve. The confidential manner in which Brett dealt with the sale of our properties and the polite manner in which he conducts business negotiations we could not speak more highly of. Brett’s communication was always open and honest, and we felt comfortable throughout the entire sale process. Jan and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone thinking of marketing property and we wish him the best with his future endeavours.”
