Hear From Business Owners Who’ve Been Where You Are


My experience with De Jonge read – Dealing with them was a pleasure at the most challenging moment in my life. I have been working in the customer service industry myself, and I was surprised about how effectively they do business as I have no doubt had the best experience with them amongst many other companies I've dealt with for other reasons during my career. I especially wanted to thank Darren for being extremely precise in explaining the process, his knowledge about the liquidation process, and how easily he made me understand the entire process:) An exceptional thanks to Farah, who was fabulous from start to end. She was very emphatic and understanding during the entire process and most definitely made me feel at ease, even at very difficult moments. She was extremely knowledgeable and attentive and went above and beyond to ensure I received the best outcome. I wish both of you and the team good luck and appreciate your efforts.

ospitality – We found DJR the calmness amongst the storm that we were in, they were patient, calm, helpful, listened well and were very pro-active under such a stressful time, anyone who believes there is no help out there…there actually is, it’s great and satisfying comfort full well knowing that people understand and that you aren’t shelved as if you’ve lost something and you didn’t do right, maybe in todays economy a lot of people will be in a similar position, just know there is a solution out there and the solution is DJR. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended – From the moment I contacted the team at de Jonge Read I felt we had made the correct decision. When we could not see a way Sophie, Farah & Ashley assisted every step with clear instructions to help us get back on track. They are available to answer all questions and were very knowledgeable and patient. They were my rock during a very stressful time and with their advice and guidance we were able to work our way through. I would have no hesitation recommending de Jong Read.

Through every challenge and stress, DJR stood by my side, providing unwavering guidance and support. Cassie and Laura exemplified professionalism and diligence at every step, and their tireless efforts have left me deeply grateful. Part X can be a daunting journey, but with DJR, you’re never alone.
