A real pleasure to work with Jamie on the sale of our family home. After loving living there for over 30 years it could have been a very stressful and emotional process. Also, it probably wasn’t the ideal time to be selling a character home! However, Jamie was there for the long haul and was always very positive about the outcome. His calm demeanour, humour and truly professional manner allayed any doubts I may have had! Jamie’s own local knowledge, together with the handle he has on recent and current listings is amazing and made for sensible decisions with regard to marketing and pricing. All in all, trusting Jamie to look after the sale of our home was a decision I’ll never regret. Jamie came highly recommended to me, and I would have no hesitation recommending him to other people looking to engage an agent either to sell or purchase a property. Thanks Jamie 🙂

Our experience with Jamie was fantastic, we got in contact via another real estate friend as the property had gone off the market, Jamie was so accommodating. He told us all the information we needed to know which limited the back and forth you sometimes get when buying a property. He was oh so very patient with us and our lack of how these things work but we sorted it out and now we own the most beautiful house, which is perfect for our family.

Melody George was fantastic to work with when we bought our home. She stayed in touch throughout, was never pushy, and always answered our questions promptly. Her out of the box thinking meant we were able to bid at auction when we initially thought we wouldn’t be able to and we ended up being the highest bidders. That kind of creativity and professionalism is exactly why we chose her to sell our own home too.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Melody George. She was always focused on getting us the best possible result, both in timing and price. Before we even listed, Melody and Jamie gave us really clear advice on exactly what we should do to get our home ready for market to achieve the maximum value. We trusted their experience, followed their recommendations, and we’re so glad we did!! The outcome definitely exceeded our expectations. In what has been a much tougher market, with similar homes around us sitting on the market for months, Melody generated four offers within the first week and had our home unconditional just a week and a half later. Together with her team she worked incredibly hard behind the scenes, kept us informed every step of the way, and negotiated tirelessly to get us the strongest possible price and terms. We ended up selling for significantly more than we had expected, and we genuinely believe that’s because of their knowledge, strategy, and willingness to go the extra mile for us. Thank you for making what could have been a very stressful experience such a positive one! I’d recommend Melody George and Jamie Barakat to anyone considering selling their place and will definitely be using them again ourselves.

Melody George stood out at the open homes I visited, prior to putting my house on the market, engaging well with everybody that visited the house while we were there. Her positivity and enthusiasm for the house that she was selling, made me decide to choose her as my agent. She certainly didn't disappoint. We had four offers after the first weeks open homes, all $100,000 over the government valuation, which demonstrated to us how good her negotiation skills were. The house was signed up and sold in less than 2 weeks.

On the weekend of house hunting, Melody gives her signature smiles and warm personality makes people open to her naturally. During the buying phase , she is open and straightforward, make the process ease as breeze. She is proactive and responsive, fast turn-around when you request sth from her. Enjoy her professionalism and so supportive during house Inspection, she would prepare all the items for you to check while you are busy inspecting the house. She is definitely very pleasant to work with and highly recommended to her service!

Melody was super helpful in the process of buying our first home. Definitely recommend working with her!

Mel was very good at communicating with us. She was always open and honest with us about her marketing knowledge which made looking for a home a lot easier. I would highly recommend Mel to anyone trying to find a home that’s right for them.

I cannot recommend my real estate agent, Melody George from Team Barakat at Lugtons Real Estate, highly enough. Right from the very start, Melody stood out with her positive attitude, warmth, and professionalism. I truly felt supported throughout the entire experience. Mel's upbeat personality and genuine enthusiasm made the process much more enjoyable and reassuring. She was fully dedicated to my goals, and her deep understanding of the local market was invaluable. I appreciated her expert advice and clear communication, which ensured everything went smoothly. She guided me through with patience and expertise, always responding promptly to my questions and negotiating skillfully on my behalf. When a tricky situation arose, Melody handled it with remarkable skill and ease, her negotiation skills truly made all the difference. The reassurance Mel provided throughout the process meant a great deal to me. Thanks to her strategic approach and optimism, my house sold and at a great price. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy, Melody is the perfect choice. I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. :-)

We had a wonderful experience working with Melody. She was incredibly warm and helpful throughout the entire process, and it truly felt like nothing was too much trouble for her. Melody helped us navigate a complex situation with ease, and thanks to her hard work, we ended up with a great result for everyone involved.

We had a wonderful experience buying our home, and we are truly grateful for the support and guidance we received throughout the process. Everything was handled professionally, transparently, and with great care. The team was patient, responsive, and always willing to explain each step clearly, which gave us confidence and peace of mind. Thanks to their commitment and honesty, we were able to find a home that perfectly suits our needs. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.

An absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, genuine, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better result, would definitely recommend melody again to anyone wanting a fast great experience.
