About Lin

Over the past 24 years, Lin has enjoyed a hugely successful career in real estate, regularly ranking among Harcourts’ top-performing agents nationwide. She was awarded National Winner – Agent of the Year 2025 and 2026 by RateMyAgent, recognising her outstanding achievements and the trust vendors place in her.

Overall positive

Overall, our experience with Lin Ma was positive. She was professional, patient, and communicated clearly throughout the sales process. She provided many practical and useful suggestions regarding the refurbishment of the house and also assisted with inspections as we stay out of town. In addition, she helped look after the property both before and after the sale, and we are happy with the final outcome. There were, however, a few areas where the experience could have been improved: Lin was away on holiday for a couple of weeks shortly after the auction, but we were not aware of this in advance. After the property passed in at auction, we needed to negotiate with a group of potential buyers. As Lin was overseas and the time difference made communication more difficult, it was challenging for us at times, particularly as she had been handling the earlier discussions with the buyers. Fortunately, Logan was very supportive during this period and helped us through the negotiation process. The EQC Deed of Assignment was not transferred into our names prior to the sale, and we were unfamiliar with the requirement when it was raised by the buyers' solicitor. This resulted in a short delay before the contract could become unconditional. Logan kindly assisted by contacting the Natural Hazards Commission to help resolve the matter promptly. During the buyers' request for a price reduction, Lin advised that the offer was already a strong one given the current market conditions. We appreciated her perspective. Logan also proactively communicated further with the buyers' agent, and through those discussions the sale was ultimately completed without any reduction to the agreed price.

Responsive and professional

When you find the perfect house, you need to move quickly, confidently and with clear communication. Jane was all of these with a good sense of humour too! The time between us seeing and purchasing a beautiful home was 4 days. Jane was available in the evenings, during the day and always quick to respond to every question or communication. Lin was immediately supportive at the auction offering her help quietly and confidently. Thank you both for a great home buying experience!

Great sale

We had a great experience selling our home. From start to finish, Ada was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They kept us informed throughout the process, answered our questions promptly, and made everything as stress-free as possible. We were very happy with the outcome and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

The best team for our first home sale

This was our first time selling a property, and we couldn’t have asked for better agents than Lin and Ada. Their professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication made the whole journey smooth and easy. They updated us on every step and worked extremely hard to bring in buyers. Thanks to their dedication, our home sold within a month at a price higher than we expected. We sincerely appreciate their hard work and are grateful to have worked with them.
