Suzy was fantastic to deal with for our first home buyer process. She was easy to communicate with and always felt like she had our best interests at heart. The main benefit of dealing with Suzy is that she is just a nice person and happy to communicate. Even when I had to organise a builders report at short notice she made herself available. Although we have no plans to sell our property, if we did, we both know we would contact Suzy for her help with this process. She knows the area so well and knew what would interest us in the area. The best we could have asked for!
From the very beginning Suzy and John understood that we weren’t just selling a property, they helped our family close one chapter and begin another. Their kindness, honesty and genuine care made all the difference. We never felt like just a client, they made us feel that they truly cared about achieving the best possible outcome for our family. We are incredibly grateful for this amazing team, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them both! Amazing agents who go above and beyond.
Had a good understanding of the market. Good communication. Helped immensely with getting options for Solar Zero. My best interests at heart. I would have no hesitation of recommending Suzy to any prospective buyer/seller
John Bailey recently assisted us with the sale of our property, and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. John was incredibly easy to deal with, maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, and was always proactive in keeping things moving forward. He was knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in achieving a positive outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
We are very impressed with our experience with John. Great communication and friendly. We would be happy to work with John in the future.

From the get go, Dane was highly professional, approachable, enthusiastic and positive about the sale of my property. He was knowledgable about the local area and realistic about the price I could expect to get. He is reliable, trustworthy and a fantastic communicator. Dane knew how to market my property effectively and make it visible to as many potential buyers as possible. I am very grateful for the effort he and the team went to in helping me to find a property to purchase once mine had sold. I would not hesitate to recommend Dane to anyone wanting to sell their home and would definitely use him again in the future.

Came for an appraisal. Gave us a price that would work. Knows the area and what the best options were for us and delivered. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for a job well done.
From the initial phone call to ask for information through to having the offer submitted to the vendors; everything ran very smoothly and all the information was supplied straight away. A very fast and reassuring purchase.
John was fantastic during the sale of our home. He’s approachable, reliable and provides clear advice during the negotiation and sales process. His communication is great and left us feeling confident throughout the process. He has vast local knowledge and together with Suzy they make a great team bouncing ideas between each other. We wouldn’t hesitate using John again in the future

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.
