Chris was very professional. He have a natural ability to understand and feel what his customers are experiencing, and are able to meet their needs effectively.I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service!!!!
Highly recommended. Professional, diligent and courteous. My wife and I used First Legal for a recent property purchase and could not have been more pleased with their support. Chris worked with us through a number of different properties before we found the one we proceeded with and he was incredibly supportive throughout. He also likely saved us from entering into a highly disadvantageous contract (on a property we chose not to proceed with) that had some very questionable terms and omissions which left the buyer insufficiently protected - something we never would have picked up on our own. Settlement (when we got there) was stress-free, well prepared for, and we were kept informed the whole way through. We have no plans to move homes in the near future but, if we did, we'd absolutely be engaging Chris' services again.
We are so grateful that First Legal was recommended to us and for the efforts by First Legal to make everything happen. First Legal was absolutely brilliant with bringing everything together for the sale of our home. Everything was done so efficiently and effectively! Chris was so experienced and so knowledgeable about everything connected with properties. We highly recommend to anyone who needs to sell or buy a home for their services.
Chris and his wife Yiota were amazing to deal with! Approached Chris to help my partner with his Partner Visa application, and he was the first migration agent that gave that personal touch, and wasn’t just trying to take our money (unlike many migration agents out there!). From day one, Chris was exceptionally helpful, always available for any questions my partner and I had, and was able to assist us with getting my partner’s partner visa granted in under 2 months after submitting everything! Overall, Burak and I were extremely impressed with Chris’ service, and would highly recommend giving Chris a call if you’re looking for the right person to assist with your visa application. Thanks so much again to Chris and Yiota for all of your help and support! :)
Chris from First Legal has been an absolute gem during the process of us purchasing our new home. As a first home buyer I had plenty of questions and Chris took the time to take me through the process step by step and explained to me all the terms and lingo I wasn't sure about. His prompt replies on email and phone were outstanding and therefore already guarantee us using Chris' services again in the future. I can highly recommend First Legal, especially if you are after support and service that happens swiftly and in a very friendly manner. Thank you Chris. You made buying a house pretty easy.
