Bryce was great to work with, as a buyer. The biggest thing that stands out for me is that he has genuine integrity, he can act as a trusted advisor. While an agents first service is to the vendor, rather than the buyer, Bryce is effective at bridging between the needs of both. As a buyer I think he achieves that through building trust through honesty, displaying a calm and patient approach, and remembering your specific needs. Be very happy to work with Bryce again.

Easy Purchase

We had a great experience working with Bryce throughout the whole process. They were always easy to get a hold of, communicated really well, and made the journey of buying our home feel simple and stress-free. Really appreciated all the support and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. Also thanks for the gift, the mrs loved it.

Trust. Being in safe hands. Honesty.

Trust. Being in safe hands. Honesty.

Having only ever sold one home 30 years ago, was slightly apprehensive about the giant step i was about to make Mel instantly put me at ease - absorbing any concern i may have harboured ; her honesty, compassion, interest support and respect added up to an extremely smooth process. She kept me informed constantly, inviting my opinion. I felt safe, respected and looked after during the very brief time it took for my home to sell. I wish Mel all the very best for the future; would recomend her to anyone wishing to buy, sell or invest.

Mel came highly recommended to us. She was always confident of the outcome and went about her business in a truly professional and capable way, while always putting us first with her friendly and caring manner. We were never left wondering and would highly recommend Mel and the Collab Team to anyone thinking of selling their home. Thank you Mel. You were exceptional.

Mel certainly understood my circumstances and allowed me to view property immediately.

At all stages during the purchase she was extremely professional and even the prior to settlement inspection, she actually had a check list of what I should be looking at. Never have I had this before. During negotiations she listened and accurately conveyed information to/from both parties. Very easy to deal with. Yes, would recommend her.

Great Communication, Stylish sales Woman

Great Communication, Stylish sales Woman

Mels professional style, her vast knowledge in the real estate industry was next to none. Her flare for the sale of the house, styling, photography, drone videos are amazing. Mel sold our house when other homes, on our Street have been on the market for some time. As older people we had no problem understanding what was going on. You wont be dissapointed with Mel at Colab.

Exceptional buying agent service!

Exceptional buying agent service!

We were not familiar with the buying agent concept but honestly it was the best decision to work with Courtenay through this process. Not only did she assist us in searching for properties, sending through open home schedules and off market opportunities, but she attended every house viewing, her extensive real estate experience meant we felt confident we were achieving correct due diligence at each property, plus she handled all the follow up admin required with each viewing. Once we found the perfect house Courtenay supported us through the entire buying process including price negotiations, understanding lim reports and council files, the sale and purchase agreement and everything in-between. Coutenay ensured we understood the process and felt supported at every step, she really cares about her clients and goes above and beyond. We would highly recommend using Courtenay as your buying agent, an amazing professional service at no cost to the buyer, you would be crazy not to! Thank you Courtenay, we will definitely be using you again for any future purchases.

The best in the business!

The best in the business!

After being in the real estate industry for over 15 years and working as a top-performing sales agent, I’ve seen the industry evolve dramatically. Selling our home on Gordon Road could have been daunting, but our experience with Collab and Mel was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the level of service, professionalis and care never wavered — and importantly, it was no different despite our personal relationship. Mel treated the sale with the same integrity, strategy, and attention to detail she would give any client, which speaks volumes about her character as an agent. While Mel is our daughter, it made us incredibly proud to watch her operate with such confidence and capability. She has truly found her place in this industry and has become a fantastic agent in her own right. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would confidently recommend Mel and the team at Collab to anyone looking to sell. — Annette & Barry

Truly amazing in every way!!

Truly amazing in every way!!

Paige was recommend to me by a close friend. Throughout the experience Paige was knowledgeable, calm, professional, patient and understanding. She created conversation and communicated the marketing and viewing information clearly and respectfully. I felt I was able to make informed decisions and not pressured. My children felt comfortable with her too hugely respectful. I will highly recommend to everyone I talk to who need a great reliable, professional, down to earth agent. She has restored by faith in real estate agents who not only do a great job at selling the house but allowing there to be respect, trust and compassion through a highly stressful time. From the bottom of my heart and my children's " Thank you so very much Paige and to your team" Kind Regards Kerry & her family x
