I have regular contact with Ian Black in relation to the sale and purchase of commercial properties for mutual clients and also regular contact with Ian Black and his commercial letting team in relation to the management they have of various commercial premises owned by mutual clients. I believe that their commercial letting department is second to none in Mackay. Ian Black and his staff are always well abreast with current trends in rental. Not only do they look after their landlord clients they also ensure that every tenant or their landlord clients are properly treated in a courteous and professional manner. It must be a great satisfaction that Ian’s son Andrew, is now the fifth generation Black to be a partner and director of Blacks Real Estate Pty Ltd, which says not only a family commitment to the business, but a commitment to the community to that the family and the other directors and shareholders of Blacks Real Estate Pty Ltd. I have regular contact with all of the directors of Blacks Real Estate, again in realtion to mutual clients, whether they be vendors or purchasers which we represent. I congratulate Ian and his co-directors and shareholders in reaching the milestone of 130 years of business in Mackay, a milestone which far outreaches other similar businesses in Mackay. I wish them well for the future and encourage the Mackay community to encourage them in the future.[/testimonial][testimonial user_name=” David Aprile” user_name_subtitle=”Director, BAWD Pty Ltd”]Our company has been associated with Blacks Real Estate in various property and real estate transactions since 1981.

Our company has always received professional, timely and accurate advice from Blacks in relation to leasing, market trends, valuations and other real estate matters.

During this time I have had the pleasure of dealing with Bev on both the sale and purchase of property. During these transactions Bev has shown an energy level far beyond anyone I have met in the real estate industry. Coupled with this enthusiasm is an unrivalled knowledge of both the market and her clients, and an uncommon ability to very quickly bring both parties of a transaction to a shared understanding. In this time she has grown to become a family friend, and I can attest to the same values she brings to the real estate industry, those of generosity, fairness and trust. It is with this suite of skills and values that Bev has rightly earned her reputation as the leader in her field.[/testimonial][testimonial user_name=”Col Meng” user_name_subtitle=”Former Mayor”]I have known Bev Woosley for a very long time, mostly through her employment as a real estate agent and more recently as a sales consultant at Blacks Real Estate Mackay. A Real Estate Agent’s role is to help you achieve your aims in the most efficient manner possible. In all my dealings with Bev as my agent, whether it be purchasing or selling industrial sheds, houses or properties, she has always delivered the desired result. Bev has always displayed a dedicated attitude towards her job and is a hard worker. She has a wealth of experience which spans many years and I look forward to our continued association into the future.
