Experienced and thorough

Joel Ballam was very effective and efficient in dealing with the purchase of my woodlands. He used his trainees well delegating where appropriate which kept the costs down for me which was great but was always there when needed and kept a close eye on the whole purchase. The firm was up front about costs which I also liked
