What a great site. We picked out 4 places of interest and sent them off (very easy). Within an hour we had a sit offer that suited us fine. Lovely people and a great location. We were pretty excited but to top it off we got another offer a couple of hours later, which we politely had to decline unfortunately. We are so impressed with your site. Regards, Ron & Pre
