Mr Michael Hung is a super legal adviser and an excellent trouble shooter
Updated by 9/12/2024 I recently upgraded my home' size, and I seek Michael's help with reviewing and finalizing the contract, organizing settlement. And I got my new home by last Friday, thanks for Michael's help. Even this is my second time purchasing the property; but there are significant differences between first and second: apartment v.s. townhouse; 60 v.s 350 sm2; PEXA & 66w certificate & final inspection ONLY conducted in second property ( I am not familiar with those issues; however, Michael has been very patient as always and explains to me in detail. And he knows the client's concerns, based on the concerns, he would amend and add some points on the contracts.
I also get something which requires Michael's assistance in near future once I have settled on my new home.
Thanks, Michael 🔳◼️◾▪️🔳◼️◾▪️🔳◼️◾▪️🔳◼️◾ Hi Michael, thanks for your professional service. Two Month ago, I was a first time homebuyer, I didn't familiarise with the procedure of buying the property in Australia and felt so confused. Since I was a first time buyer, I have a range of questions, and you are really patient answering every questions I asked. You are also very thoughtful. Every person would have something concern him/her, of course, including me. You would ask me at the beginning, namely unpaid bills from the vendor, changing floor converge and so on, and solved these concerns for me. When I found you as my solicitor, I know I would not be confused anymore. Thanks
Kind Regards, Chiao

Once again, thank you for your outstanding service and thoughtful support.
