“ After a successful property sale, I am confident to recommend Raine & Horne Commercial (WA) to future sellers. The advice was valuable, communication excellent and Anthony & Simon took care of everything as proposed. There were no hidden costs either. ”

“ I have worked with Simon Matthews for some 7 years on all sales and leasing aspects, having bought 3 commercial properties and some 4 leases. If I had to choose 1 member of the commercial property sector to work with - it would be him. Always contactable, competent and always attempts to make a deal happen. I recommend him highly. ”

“ Dear Simon, I would like to congratulate you for a first class and consistent job with regard to my referral to you for the leasing of the light industrial premises at Welshpool which was not an easy job and in difficult circumstances. Lindra is also appreciative of your service and that of your firm and thanks you for the generous fee charged etc. I have been in agency practice for longer than I care to remember and to be honest your service is first class and a credit to you and your firm. I am sure our paths will cross again in the future but in the meantime thank you again. It is wonderful to see how the Raine & Horne family can work. ”
