We can't recommend Carrie highly enough. From our very first meeting through to settlement, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. Carrie was always patient in answering our questions and explaining each step of the process clearly. What stood out most was their honesty and local knowledge, we never felt pressured, just well guided. They negotiated on our behalf with our best interests at heart and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Thank you again for everything.
This is the second home we’ve sold with Zani, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Zani and her team made the whole process so easy, with great communication and attention to detail from start to finish. We always felt well looked after as sellers, and it was clear that Zani also took great care of everyone who came through the property. She was professional, approachable and always kept us informed. Her experience really showed, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zani and her team.
We were very late to put our offer forward but Debra was great! Talked us through our offer over the phone and helped us through the process. Kept in communication while we were doing our due diligence to go unconditional
We had such a great experience buying our first home with Deb. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, approachable and supportive throughout what is a pretty overwhelming process. She was fast to respond to our questions and made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. As first-home buyers, having someone who was so patient, knowledgeable and easy to deal with made such a difference. We’re so grateful for Deb's help in getting us into our first home and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!

This is second time we have sold with Dan. We appreciate his market knowledge, professionalism and clear, honest communication. He worked alongside our busy families needs and got the job done in just a few weeks. Dan is a top agent who we happily called on a second time to sell our house with a great outcome. Dans team and the recommended photographer made our home shine and really showed the space well. Thanks Dan for your amazing outcome. Listed and sold within a few weeks. We appreciate your commitment and time.

Communication skills are unsurpassed. Pleasant and direct with the facts. Expresses an in-depth knowledge of the market place and value for the dollar in property discovery and ultimate purchase. Negation is a ‘discussion’ with George. No pressure but a total reliance and expression of market comparisons and all aspects of purchase value. A total professional. Knows his market, client and how to craft a positive conclusion with the marriage of the two. Look forward to his skills again in the near future Capt FE Barker USN (Ret)

Susie was outstanding. She is a great communicator and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend Susie and McLeod Real Estate.
Lin Ma was great to work with throughout the whole process. She was very professional and guided us through every step of selling our home. We especially appreciated that she helped us find a buyer who genuinely appreciates and cherishes the house, just as we have. It means a lot to us to know that our home has gone to someone who will love and look after it. We are very grateful for Lin’s hard work and support throughout the process.

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. 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. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
