Gaurav really listened to what I was looking for and found me a perfect house. While it was a bit on the expsensive side for me he negotiated with the vendor and I bought the house for a price I am very happy with

We had a wonderful experience selling our house with Ravinder. From the very first meeting, they were honest, professional, and very clear about the process and what to expect. They gave us great advice on preparing the house and kept us updated after every open home and enquiry. We never felt left in the dark. Our house sold quickly and for a great result, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free. We truly felt looked after. I would highly recommend Ravinder to anyone thinking of selling. Thank you for making such a big move feel so easy.

Despite the numerous curve balls thrown at David by my rural property, he went above and beyond to facilitate a strong showing of prospective buyers at our auction with a very good result. He was completely professional, always timely, and communicated each stage of the sales process clearly. He is a very dedicated, tireless and hard-working real estate agent, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.

Dionne was very approachable, honest and knowledgeable. She had a calm warmth with all our interactions with her.
Claudine was wonderful in the purchase of my first home, she answered all my questions, was helpful and kept clear, open, communication, responding to me quickly and thoughtfully each time. She went the extra mile if I had any concerns, and I am glad to have had her support throughout the entire process. I would recommend her to anyone making a purchase or selling their property. Thanks Claudine!
They understood my needs and worked hard to give me the best outcome
Natalie and the team at cowdy went above and beyond for us. We used them for both buying and selling. Her communication was excellent, she was punctual, professional and honest. She managed to sell our house for a price we didn’t think was possible. She went above and beyond and we have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone needing an agent. Definitely will be using Natalie and the cowdy team again!
We've been really impressed with Nik's approach from day one. He's enthusiastic, hardworking and genuinely invested in getting the best result. What stood out most was his proactive attitude and ability to identify opportunities rather than simply waiting for buyers to come along. In fact, he managed to secure a sale before one of our properties had even officially gone to market. His communication and professionalism have been excellent throughout, and we look forward to continuing to work with him.

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.
