Craig was very supportive and encouraging of our requirements. A cheerful friendly young man who was honest and upfront.
We have worked with Sue and Donna previously when both purchasing and selling other properties. We sought their assistance again with this sale because we trust their commitment, advice, market knowledge and determination to achieve realistic outcomes. They communicate it a timely and professional manner to provide clear updates as well as wider sector reports. They don't overpromise but always find ways to engage potential purchasers and the vendor towards win-win solutions. Our property was a difficult house to sell because there were some building defects that were revealed as builders' reports were submitted. Sue offered realistic advice to meet the changed circumstances and provided factual advice to potential buyers and us as vendors that built confidence despite the unforseen defect hurdles. We have no hesitation in recommending Sue and Donna to potential vendors.
We engaged Sandra as our agent due to previous excellent advice and service with another purchase transaction. Sandra gave good advice re selling our property and what we needed to do to achieve a satisfactory result. Team Treloar (Sandra & Craig) set us on the right path with their dedication and advice. Would certainly recommend them to any future clients.

We couldn't be happier with the outcome of selling our property. After refining our marketing strategy with the team, we received a strong offer within just one week of going to market! Throughout the process, the team proved to be exceptionally professional, highly responsive, and clear in their advice. From navigating complex compliance details to cost-effective advertising and listing arrangements, they handled everything seamlessly and put our minds at ease. If you’re looking for real estate agents who truly listen, act fast, and deliver incredible results, we highly recommend them! Thank you so much for the fantastic work!

Stephen (along with his wife Simone) was a pleasure to work with. He kept us well informed on a regular basis and achieved a good result in a fairly flat market. He negotiated well on our behalf, networked well with the other Agent involved and displayed true professionalism at all times.

We can’t thank Chase and his wonderful team enough for helping us sell our home! From the very beginning, Chase brought an incredible level of knowledge, expertise and professionalism, guiding us through every decision with confidence and making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. His advice and dedication played such a huge part in achieving a quick and successful sale, which ultimately allowed us to secure our beautiful future home. We are incredibly grateful for all the hard work, support and care Chase and his team put into the entire process. We couldn’t recommend Chase highly enough — if you’re looking for someone who knows the market and goes above and beyond for his clients, he’s your guy! Thank you again, Chase!
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.
