Link Building - GOOD quality and manually submitted

Just had to cancel a project for directory submissions as the guy who was doing it claimed that he would submit my website to 800 directories all with different C Class IP's. Upon inspection over 90% of the sites were on the same server therefore deaming the links useless. We're not all stupid !!! I am looking for someone to build me a number of EXCELLENT quality links. Be it genuine website directories or themed links. My website is a Thailand Property Website. ALL links will be from different C Class IP's. I dont want links from a bunch of crap directories solely there so freelancers can make money out of useless submission. I want genuine links please that will improve my sites ranking. I am open to suggestions. Please dont send me a templated reply as it will; be marked as spam. Look forward to hearing back from serious people only. And I check all work done before payment is released. LRegards Lee
