"Claire did an excellent job and sold our property at the very first open home. Her communication and coordination were excellent throughout the entire process, and everything was handled professionally from start to settlement. We are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend her."
Quick response even though it night time and a weekend
Dene was fantastic to work with! He was always responsive, flexible with viewing times, and guided us through the process of buying our first home. He also supported us when it came to negotiating with the vendor, which made the whole experience much easier. We really appreciate his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable real estate agent. Thank you, Dene!
Rhys was everything we wanted from agent, likeable, open and honest. He was easy to communicate with and worked hard to ensure everyone walked away happy. We would be happy to use Rhys in the future
Peters knowledge and help in the process of purchasing my property has been really good. His knowledge and prompt responses was great.
My experience with Peter Driver has been excellent. For me not knowing much about selling Real Estate, he was very patient explaining things to me and led me through the whole process effortlessly. If I was ever selling again I would not hesitate to contact Peter to work for me. Thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting to buy or sell property
Rhys was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. His market knowledge was exceptional, providing clear and accurate advice that helped us feel confident at every step. Communication was prompt, transparent, and professional, with regular updates that kept us fully informed. Rhys went above and beyond to ensure we achieved the best possible outcome, handling everything with integrity and genuine care. We couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a reliable, approachable, and highly skilled agent.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance.
