From the very first day we met ShaneM at the viewing, he was incredibly genuine, welcoming and helpful. From that day right through to buying our home, he was always there for us and made the whole journey so much easier. What really stood out was his communication and patience. He never pressured us, always took the time to explain things clearly, and kept us updated at every stage. Even when things became stressful, he remained calm and made us feel like we had someone we could genuinely rely on. Buying our first home was such a big and emotional milestone for us, and having an agent who is responsive, honest and genuinely cares about his clients made such a difference. We are extremely grateful for all his support and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. He went well beyond what we expected from an agent, and we’re so glad we met him.

Josh and Bryce worked well together as a team. They were always polite, professional and very helpful in guiding us through the process and options available. They communicated with us at least weekly, with regular updates, and were very patient during the negotiations, trying to achieve the best result possible. They were very accommodating in fitting around time schedules and always available if we had any extra questions. We were very impressed by their commitment to getting a sale, especially working outside office hours. Thank you team.
So happy to let Alex be my agent to sale my house, fully responsible and help me to get the good buyer. Recommend this guys to all saler and buyer.
We had an excellent experience working with Leonie Stabler when purchasing our home. From start to finish, she made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. Leonie was incredibly efficient and always responded to our texts and emails promptly. Every question we had was answered quickly and thoroughly, and all of the paperwork was prepared without delay, making the buying process smooth and straightforward. She was always available for phone calls and viewings, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Leonie was professional, approachable, and genuinely easy to deal with throughout the entire process. We really appreciated her communication and organisation and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
I found Abbey and Richard's approach very professional and courteous. I felt in the loop via the WhatsApp communication and phone calls and Abbey was always available to clarify anything that I didn't understand. The added bonus was their great EA who was able to assist with all sorts of things which added another layer of assurance that I was with a team of knowledgeable and professional people. My particular situation for selling required understanding and empathy which Abbey displayed in spades. Abbey's persistence and follow up with the buyers meant that we had a really good sales result in a difficult and uncertain market. I would highly recommend Abbey and Richard.

Jagdeep was fantastic throughout my home-buying journey. He was always available, incredibly patient, calm, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His communication was excellent, and he kept me informed every step of the way. He demonstrated excellent communication and professionalism from start and many more to come. He genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend Jag to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive mortgage adviser. Highly recommend to everyone. A+++ rating for service.
Rami displayed very active, clear, regular and prompt communications to keep me in the loop of every progress being made. Very strong mediator between both vendor and purchaser. Rami means business when it comes to her professionalism and negotiation methods.

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.
