Recently when Airia Nasirian McCormick, Physiotherapist from PhysioACTION Limited left her chapter BNI Newmarket Platinum she wrote them an amazing thankyou/goodbye letter that is a great testimonial to BNI and what can be achieved through membership.
Airia gave us permission to share it with you all:
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to email you for this as even if I was at the next meeting, I’d take too long to wrap up this rap and probably get quacked with the duck.
David and I moved into our lovely new home in Panmure this past Friday, June 1st (bye bye 2-4 hours of driving every day, depending on brutal traffic!!!!). Every single aspect of this move that was dependent on another professional, could not have gone ANY smoother, and we have the following people to thank:
- Greg: from coming out to us in Tuakau when we initially wanted to know our options, being so patient and explaining to us in really encouraging terms how we could make it work financially with bubba coming (without going broke!!), to truly getting us the best rates possible with as much cash contribution as he could squeeze out of the bank, and making sure it was all done in a timely manner. Working with Greg, he was SO incredible he also sorted out our finances really early with the banks so that we were able to put our offer down on our house with NO condition on finances, thereby strengthening our offer in a multi-offer situation!
- Lucy: OH MY GOD. This girl is a legend. From all the advice she gave us regarding EVERY single aspect of the S&P agreement before we signed anything, the title of the house, reviewing the LIM report before our offer so that we could skip the condition on our offer…she’s incredible! What’s more, she made sure that BOTH the settlement of the sale of our house in Tuakau and the purchase of our new home in Panmure occurred before noon on Friday!!!
- Mike, MOD Builders: thank you so much for being able to fit us in for an informal building inspection within a mere two days of our offer being accepted, it was perfect! (When things have settled down, we’ll likely be in touch for some things that we’d like to remodel!)
- Peter, South Pacific Insurance: thank you for transferring our house and contents that we had set up with you from Tuakau to Panmure in such a hassle-free (to us at least) manner!
- Dave, Tiger Transport: AMAZING service: we’re officially high recommenders of moving services- specifically, getting in touch with you for your guys- I gave Dave a trademe link of our house in Tuakau when it was on sale so he could see all our furniture, and also mentioned that the wardrobes, drawers and cabinets were absolutely filled with stuff, and the addresses moving from/ to…he sent me a quote for how much the move would roughly cost, his final estimate of between $650-$750 was spot on; it cost us $690, and that’s not just paying for moving furniture, it’s paying for removing stress, which is invaluable!!! He sent a medium sized truck which loaded everything in one go, and to quote David (the hubby), “these guys are the strongest guys I have ever seen in my life, and they’re so fast!!”
Final rap up about COORDINATION when you choose to work within BNI, which suddenly became so evident to us in wanting to work with Greg, Lucy, and Peter; when any one of these professionals needed something from the other, they’d tell us about it, but we had nothing to do with the follow up (i.e. STRESS) of it- they just got the information/ documents they needed from each other, and poof it was done! This made the whole process of selling/ buying run so unbelievably smoothly and stress-free, and to it all being done in such a timely manner. Recommend 1000 times over that when you choose a service in BNI, to think of the other professionals within that hub who may be involved with them, and to use their services too; it’s not purely “giver’s gain”, it’s a lot of peace of mind for what YOU actually need done too!
Phew! Sorry for long email but it needed to be done! Thanks, so many times over everyone, and wishing everyone in this awesome chapter the very best, x Airia
