Gemma was professional, accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. She was definitely the best of the bunch we experienced during our first home hunt - she restored my faith in real estate agents. Thanks Gemma, next time we're buying or selling, we're coming to you.

Great experience working with Kiah and Blair’s team. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and kept the whole process painless from start to finish. We always felt well informed and supported, and I’m really happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend!
Seller of 23 Mitcham Ave, Forest Lake
We felt so confident selling with Kristina and the team. Their communication was outstanding, they were completely transparent, gave us advice, and really valued the outcome we were wanting. I would recommend Kristina and the team 1000 times over. People tend to assume that selling a house can be very stressful, but I felt at ease during the whole process!

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!

Seller of 2 Mews Place, Forest Lake
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.
Buyer of 31 Forest Lake Road, Forest Lake
We have had an awesome experience with Team Barakat and would absolutely recommend them to our friends and family! Cory helped us to search for a house for a good few months before we eventually found our place. He found listings, arranged viewings, shared knowledge and insight, and was there for us constantly - we were messaging almost daily at some points and he was always responsive and helpful. Honestly don't know if we would have found our place without his help as his insight into pricing, suburbs, building materials and the market was invaluable. On top of that he was friendly, professional and so easy to deal with throughout it all. When we eventually found the house we bought, Jamie was looped in. Both Cory and Jamie were incredibly responsive, helpful and knowledgeable and made us feel supported. The process involved price negotiation and they kept us updated throughout. We really couldn't have asked for better! The house is beautiful and was represented really well by the team. We couldn't be happier with our new slice of paradise. Thank you so much guys!
