Michelle was easy to contact, always happy to provide or source any information I required, and a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation recommending Michelle to anyone in the property market.
Christine was at all times professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She was also always available to answer questions and provide clarifications. This was a smooth transaction from start to finish; thx to her.
Bev and Jason were amazing from the first moment we met, both were really welcoming and knowledgeable in regard to the area we purchased. The communication from them was top tier and clear. They were really flexible with our less than conventional work schedules, which we hugely appreciated. We would definitely recommend the dynamic duo. I would give more stars if there was an option
Brent and Andre's strengths are their teamwork, attention to detail, and their focus on selling our property. Communication and customer service are a priority; they never have to be chased or followed up. They are a pleasure to deal with and kept us up to date with market trends and helpful during negotiations. We enjoyed selling our home with them and highly recommend them both.
We had a great experience working with Mark. From the start, Mark felt a lot more down-to-earth and personable than other agents we’d spoken to. He has a preference to talk things through in person, which meant we had actual conversations rather than feeling rushed. This allowed for moments for housing matters to be discussed and questions to be clarified. As first home buyers, there were components we didn't know. Mark was very patient, really listened to what we were looking for, and walked us through the whole process - including little components within our offer we were not aware of. Mark was honest, transparent, and completely reliable. We never had the feeling he had a hidden agenda; it honestly felt like he was working with us every step of the way. Having him there to communicate clearly and keep us in the loop made what could have been a super stressful time surprisingly easy. If you're looking for an agent who actually cares, Mark is your agent.
Kim has been absolutely incredible through the process from the very start to the end phase. She was extremely accommodating with viewing times. She has been so friendly, knowledgable and made the whole process very easy for us.
Selling a property is usually a stressful experience, yet Caro made every step feel genuinely enjoyable. Her understanding of rural living meant she could highlight a wide range of possibilities to prospective buyers, helping them see the full potential of our place. She was consistently upbeat, and her enthusiasm was absolutely infectious. Her guidance to us as vendors was invaluable, and her communication far surpassed anything we’ve experienced while searching for our next home. She's a STAR in our books!

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers.

With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies.
