Hi GJ,

Thank you for your review of your valuation experience with Hannells.

We're disappointed to hear that you haven't yet received the follow-up from your valuation. This certainly isn't the standard of service we aim to provide, and it appears there may have been an error somewhere in the process.

We'll speak with the valuer who attended and ensure the information is sent to you as soon as possible.
