What a pleasure it has been to have Glenn sell my lifestyle block. He has gone above and beyond what I have ever known a real estate person to do when selling property. He is down to earth and helped with jobs, split wood and fixed things. He is a good communicator but most of all he was realistic in his appraisal and credible in relation to how a rural property does or could work. I would not hesitate to recommend him to sell any property.
We had a fantastic experience working with our realtor, Glenn Butler, throughout the purchase of our property. He was genuinely committed to making sure our needs were heard and understood, and his communication was always prompt, clear, and forthcoming, no matter the time of day. We really appreciated his dedication, professionalism, Highly recommended!
We had a great experience using Matt Oliver as our selling agent. He was knowledgeable, understanding, helpful , honest and great with communication. He worked hard to sell our house and we would happily recommend him to anyone !
Kate is an excellent communicater. She kept in touch frequently by phone, text or email and was always available if we needed to contact her. She made sure we were fully informed at all stages of the sales process. Kate makes extensive use of social media in her marketing and this was effective in generating interest in our property. She provided us with accurate appraisal information which enable us to make good decisions on pricing. As a result our home sold just a few days after listing. Kate's advice during the negotiation enabled us to settle at a price above what we had initially expected. In addition, she has been happy to provide us with help and advice on our next purchase in a different part of the country. We are very grateful for this assistance. Kate is an outsatnding real estate professional and we are happy to give her our highest recommendation.
Kate has been amazing, made the process so easy, had great communication and is very knowledgeable.
Always up to date information
Matt and his team were great to deal with. Fantastic communication and made the whole process so easy!! Will definitely be using Matt again!
Penny went above and beyond in my search for my first home. I had strict parameters and she found me all the data to buy my first home then made it as seamless as possible.
We recently purchased our home through Kate, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she was honest, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was very helpful & communicated clearly, answered our questions promptly anytime of the day/night, and not one part of the journey was an stressful experience, it feel straightforward and manageable. We especially appreciated her honesty and transparency, which gave us confidence every step of the way. Her knowledge especially with an older home & giving great advice has helped. The genuine care for her clients really stood out. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. We also currently have land for sale under Kate, & she has once again gone over & beyond our expectations to market it. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for all your hard work and support—we are so grateful we made the decision to 'just call Kate' 😉
Prompt, clear communication, helpful Spent time showing us properties on a gator Helped deal with vendor re settlement dates etc

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.
