From the moment we met Mariessa, we felt like we were in safe hands - we were instantly reassured she would get us a great result and she certainly did! Great communication, sensible guidance and no stone left unturned - a pleasure to work with her.

Team Pringle : Respectful, knowledgeable, always professional, great communication with us throughout. Their historically consistent results really speak for themselves and our house was no exception.......it sold right in the middle of a great deal of global uncertainty and within a matter of weeks and for a price that was within our expectations, quite amazing actually. Thankyou Team Pringle!
I recently sold my property with Holly Jones and Ricky Cave, assisted by Dominika, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and outcome. From the beginning, they put me completely at ease and genuinely cared about achieving the best result for me. Their market guidance was excellent, and throughout the process they were professional, proactive, and communicated clearly every step of the way. As the property was tenanted, there were additional complexities involved, but they handled everything seamlessly with both the property manager and the tenants. They truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, they achieved a sale price well above what I thought was possible in the current market, which I was thrilled with. I would thoroughly recommend Holly, Ricky, and Dominika to anyone looking for a hardworking, professional, and genuinely supportive real estate team.
We had a great experience working with Nikhil Saini to buy the 30 Mondo Drive property. Nikhil was professional, honest, and very supportive throughout the whole process. He was always available to answer our questions, kept us updated at every stage, and smooth and stress-free. His communication, knowledge, and friendly nature gave us confidence from start to finish. We truly appreciate his dedication and highly recommend Nikhil to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Kind regards Jobanpreet
OJ was amazing to deal with, so supportive and great communication! Made a daunting process so easy and smooth! Very professional and made the near impossible work!
The communication was second to none. Fully honest and open about everything involved in the whole process of selling our home. An incredible knowledge of the real estate business helped us to understand where we were on the market. Don also understood purchasers' needs and was able to accomodate with a sound knowledge of our home throughout.
Had a great experience working with Caleb and the team. They were open, communicative, and highly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Their expertise and guidance in selling our house gave us confidence every step of the way, and nothing ever felt too difficult. Really appreciated their honest approach and professionalism. Highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.

Ricardo went above and beyond for us! From day one of our home-buying journey, he was by our side—constantly communicating, keeping us motivated, and truly looking after my family’s best interests. When it came time to look at properties, he personally coordinated with the other agents and managed every detail flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

Buying house felt overwhelming at first, but Harsh Singh made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was always available to answer questions, explained everything clearly and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home instead of just making a sale. His knowledge of market, negotiation skills and attention to detail helped us secure a great property at the right price. We always felt supported. I'd highly recommend Harsh Singh to anyone looking to buy or sell home.
Matt is great to work with, he kept working hard with buyers to get the result we were happy with. Communication is excellent, he listened to what is important for us as vendors. Definitely will call Matt again.

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.
