We purchased the manager rights and associated real estate of The Colonial Resort Noosa in September 2005. The agent we used for this purpose was Glenn Millar from Resort Brokers.
Glenn provided us with accurate and unbiased advice on all of the properties viewed; he was polite knowledgeable and helpful. His depth of industry experience meant he was able to accurately answer the multitude of questions we had regarding the properties we were interested in.
Glenn was involved in many aspects of the sale and handover process, he ensured that the many parties involved with the sale met their deadlines and made sure our purchase of the Colonial Resort a straightforward and hassle free process. Glenn conducted himself professionally at all time throughout the sale process and we would have no hesitation in recommending Glenn to any vendor or purchaser

Colonial Resort Noosa

We have purchased a number of management rights over the years, and on the last two occasions we have dealt with Mr. Glenn Millar of Resort Brokers.  We have found Glenn to be the best agent that we have dealt with in every way.  Glenn’s extensive knowledge of management rights and associated businesses gave us accurate, up to date information, as well as providing sound advice when required.  We highly recommend Glenn for anyone looking to buy or sell management rights, as we know they will receive personal, professional and accurate assistance, in a timely manner.
