Hi there,

I am currently doing a IP course, and would be more than happy to share with one person on this forum [grad] a couple of Property Analyser templates.

Thank you both for your recommendations.

Richard, you mentioned that she has assisted you with many transactions in the past years which is great.

Does she have a business website?

If I choose to appoint her as my Solicitor down the track, I will definitely tell her you referred her.

Thanks

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your response.

I will require a Solicitor to assist during the process of selling an IP in the Brisbane CBD, I’m not sure whether this will be around March 2007or August 2007.

The Solicitor does not have to reside in the CBD. I would just like a Solicitor who is reputable, realiable & able to explain to me all the…[Read more]
