•My experience with Riz Ali was extremely disappointing and raised serious concerns about his professionalism, loyalty, and work ethic. Riz was brought into the sale of my family home during a separation, and he was expected to act on behalf of me and my parents. Instead, his behaviour throughout the process showed a complete lack of commitment and integrity. Despite being appointed as our agent, Riz was never present at any of the open homes. He did not share the workload, did not contribute meaningfully to the marketing or sale process, and left all the actual work to other agents. His absence was consistent and noticeable, and it became clear that he was simply positioning himself to collect a commission without doing the job he was entrusted with. What was even more concerning was his shift in alignment. Rather than representing our interests — the very reason he was engaged — he began acting in ways that clearly favoured the opposing party. His behaviour and interactions made it obvious that he was no longer advocating for us, leaving me and my parents in a vulnerable and unsupported position during an already stressful time. Throughout the entire process, Riz failed to communicate, failed to provide updates, and failed to act with the professionalism expected from someone in his role. His lack of involvement and his decision to work against the very clients he was meant to represent caused unnecessary stress and confusion. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Riz Ali to anyone. His conduct showed a lack of loyalty, a lack of effort, and a lack of integrity. If you are looking for an agent who will genuinely work for you, communicate clearly, and act in your best interests, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Haji Deraiya – Barfoot & Thompson, Whitford I recently sold my property at 30 Tamure Road, Flatbush, under very unusual and challenging circumstances. We had to bring Haji on board at extremely short notice, and despite knowing the complexities, he never hesitated. He stepped in immediately, ready to help me and my parents achieve the best possible outcome, while the other agent involved was doing nothing to move the process forward. From the start, Haji showed professionalism, patience, and genuine commitment. His communication was clear and consistent, and his dedication during a difficult market was exceptional. If it wasn’t for his hard work, strategic input, and persistence, we would not have been able to sell our home. His negotiation style with the buyer was something I had never seen before — calm, smart, and strategic. Because of his approach, we achieved exactly what we wanted and were very happy with the final outcome. Haji didn’t just focus on the sale; he cared about our wellbeing. He worked closely with us to organise a rental property so we had somewhere secure to move after settlement. I also worked alongside him to resolve LIM issues, and he was brilliant. His ideas, problem‑solving skills, and ability to communicate with council, developers, and the buyer were invaluable. He continuously liaised with the buyer to ensure a smooth transition during and after the sale. His after‑sale service is outstanding. When issues arose with the property, he personally followed up with the builder, activated the building warranty, and ensured repairs were completed at no cost to us. He didn’t have to do any of this — but he did, because he genuinely cares. Haji is more than just an agent. He looks after the needs of both the vendor and the buyer with integrity, fairness, and compassion. I am truly grateful for everything he has done for my family and me, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a committed and trustworthy agent. Zainal
