Best agent in the Bay

Amy is incredible! Her warm and genuine personality, paired with extensive market knowledge instilled confidence straight away and made buying my first home a breeze. She went well beyond what you’d expect, patiently answering all my questions and even organising quotes from roofers for me. Going to auction was a scary thought initially, but Amy made sure I felt fully informed and prepared, and it actually ended up being a really fun and relaxed experience. I’m so grateful for everything she’s done and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I can’t thank or recommend her enough!!

Simply the best

Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She is not only incredibly personable and easy to talk to, but also exceptionally knowledgeable about the real estate market. We approached Amy to conduct an off market sale and she worked extremely hard to get a good outcome. Amy’s advice was thoughtful, honest, and always in our best interest. Her guidance gave us total confidence throughout the process. What really sets Amy apart is her genuine care for her clients. She was always responsive, proactive, and one step ahead, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and even enjoyable. Her professionalism combined with her warm, friendly personality made all the difference. If you’re looking for a real estate professional who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in your success, Amy is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

You couldn’t find better

I had 3 different agents come and view my home and straight away Amy showed herself to be a cut above the rest. Her market and industry knowledge are exceptional, she is prompt and proactive and explains everything clearly along the way. When she offered to also help me find a property I admit I didn’t see how that could be of benefit to me, however she quickly showed her worth there too, and now I don’t know why anyone would buy a property without an agent like her helping. Time and again while dealing with other agents on both sides of this process I got to see how lucky I was that I’d chosen Amy - I learnt not all agents are as knowledgable, honourable or as diligent. She was constantly in communication, from my smallest question to my biggest meltdown - she knew just how to keep things on track. Amy went well beyond what you would normally experience with an agent. She chased leads for suitable properties, followed up on required documents and clarified conditions and contracts. She even called the council to chase a lagging LIM. I was really busy with work so it was such peace of mind knowing she had the details handled. I ended up selling my house in a very reasonable timeframe for a price I was more than happy with and because of Amy I also purchased the perfect property - which wasn’t even on the market yet (and gave me the best chance of buying it without all the competition). Her negotiations skills when it came to crunch time were calm and confident and got me the best deal at both ends. This buying/selling property process is so mentally taxing for those of us who don’t do it often, so getting the right agent is imperative. I’ll be telling anyone who will listen that it’s Amy they need. I honestly can’t praise her highly enough.

She guided us confidently through every step of the process, communicated clearly, and always brought great energy. Super responsive to messages and gave excellent advice on pricing. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent!
