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.

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

Working with Christine was an absolute pleasure. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She truly went above and beyond to help me secure my property, and it was all the little things that made the biggest impact - the quick responses, the attention to detail, and the genuine care she showed throughout. Christine doesn’t just do her job; she genuinely invests in her clients. I’m so thankful for her dedication and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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

Immediately from our initial enquiry through to the final sale date, Paige and her team had excellent comms either via phone, email or Collab's online property portal - which was a great way to track progress. Very professional, upfront, honest and friendly. She was recommended to us, and I'd happily recommend her to others. Thank you!

Selling our property was not an easy task as it was not your run of the mill cookie cutter property. Paige and the Collab team persevered in finding the right buyers and negotiating a successful outcome. They kept us up to dated and gave us honest factual feedback back which was appreciated.

Constant clear communication through the processs was vital as we were sellers from out of town couldnt be there all the time. Paige was wonderful at this. She was bang on with where the property sat in the market at this time and as we were wanting a sale in the shortest possible time,presented best and worst case scenarios to us to make our decision making easy. I would thoroughly recommend Paige and the team to anyone looking to market their property

People always say buying your first home is stressful and overwhelming, but my experience was the complete opposite. It took a little time to find the right house, but once I did, everything fell into place thanks to Christine. She was amazing, so attentive, always working around my schedule, and available throughout the entire process. Honestly, that support made all the difference. I highly recommend her services!

Christine would be the best real-estate agent I've worked with. Christine is very professional in the way she conducted herself during the process of helping me secure this property. Christine has a very positive attitude, which to be honest was contagious, this gave me the confidence that I was in the right hands. There was a bit of negotiation going on and Christine remained very patient and considerate until an agreement was reached. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone thinking of buying or selling property. 10/10 experience.

We have had a great experience working with Christine. Her friendliness and communication throughout has been excellent with nothing being a problem. Feedback from open homes and buyer visits has been great. The marketing of the property was excellent throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Christine to anyone for their real estate dealings. It certainly has been a pleasure working with Christine and the Collab team.
