Excellent attention to detail. Enabled good communication between the parties to get the deal over the line.
We live in another city. Andrew proactively arranged many of the stages of the process. He remained in close communication the entire time. We had other matters occurring at the time and Andrew was sensitive to the situation. He made it easy.
Very helpful. Easy to communicate with.
We had a fantastic experience working with Tammy while purchasing our first investment property. As first-time investment buyers, we had many questions and were unsure about the process, but Tammy made everything so much easier. She was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, honest and helpful throughout the whole journey. Tammy took the time to understand what we were looking for, answered all our questions, kept us updated and guided us through every step. We never felt pressured and always felt that she genuinely had our best interests in mind. We are very happy with our investment property and truly appreciate all the support and guidance Tammy provided. We highly recommend Tammy to anyone looking to buy a property, especially first-time investors. Thank you so much, Tammy, for making our first investment property purchase such a smooth and positive experience!

Knowing the house market and negotiating on my behalf all the way made me feel confident that my wishes were met
We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. She was professional, friendly and approachable throughout, with excellent communication and great knowledge of the market. She kept us informed, was always responsive and made the whole process of purchasing our new home easy and stress-free. Her professionalism and genuine care really stood out, and we would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Matt Oliver at Property Brokers. Our situation had a specific challenge — we needed to sell our existing property before we could purchase our next one, and we were doing it in a tough market with plenty of lifestyle properties competing for buyers' attention. Despite that, Matt was upfront and honest with us the whole way through, giving us clear direction on how to make it work. Thanks to his efforts, we had a contract within just 7 days, which took so much pressure off and made the entire process smooth. It meant we could confidently move forward and secure our next property, turning our dream home into a reality. Highly recommend Matt to anyone needing a straightforward, knowledgeable agent in their corner.

Janice was so lovely to deal with - from the start to finish. She happily answered all of our questions ( being first home buyers there were a lot!) and provided all the requested information that we asked for. Super knowledgeable and down to earth!
We are incredibly grateful for the support and assistance we received throughout the purchase of our home. From the beginning through to settlement, you were professional, knowledgeable, responsive and always willing to help. You made sure every step of the process are less stress, and were always available whenever we had questions or needed assistance. We truly appreciated having someone we could trust supporting us along the way. Thank you Tania for your assistance. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. A well-deserved 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We couldn’t recommend Drew highly enough. As first-home buyers, the whole process came with plenty of nerves and moments where it would have been easy to make an anxious decision. From the beginning, he was fantastic with communication and always kept us informed. What really stood out was the way he helped keep us calm and focused when things got stressful. Rather than letting us react emotionally, he helped us develop a plan and progress accordingly. That strategy ultimately helped us secure our first home, and we genuinely don’t think we would have navigated the process as confidently without his support. Professional, communicative, strategic and genuinely invested in getting the right outcome for everyone invloved. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Integrity is at the core of what we do.
