Lisa liaised with us at all available times during the sale of the property. She kept us abreast of how the market had shifted prior going to market and what to potentially expect when we did list the property. Her selling decision was spot on too. This gave, what I feel a great sale price. Having dealt with Lisa previously, the rapport we have built with her has allowed an open and honest relationship. My wife and I would highly recommend Lisa as anyone's listing agent.
Kate treats her clients as if they are the only one she is helping, she knows the system and guides the client through the intricacies of buying and selling. Her friendly demeanour makes one feel like you are special, it has been a wonderful experience to have Kate on our side and being able to tap into to her vast knowledge, expertise, professionalism and downright friendliness.
Craig and Dylan are strongly motivated to connect buyers with you as a seller, throughout the process they have continued to introduce new genuine interested people to the property, which has kept hopes up and kept me realistic about what I can get for my property. They have kept me appraised through thr process, what I could look at to improve the property and feedback from viewers. While selling your house can be unsettling they have remained committed and reassuring throughout with their knowledge of the market and properties. Thank you.
Highly recommend Kate as an agent. Excellent to deal with. Thank you for all your help.
Leigh and Vicky work well as a good team. Worked very hard at getting results, keeping us informed all the way with professional advice. Supported us patiently through all steps and options. Would recommend.
It was very fast and helpful great experience
We couldn't recommend Craig and Dylan highly enough. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to help us secure our new home and their level of care and commitment was exceptional. Craig is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely invested in helping us through the process. What really stood out was how far they were willing to go to help make things happen - even recommending and connecting us with other trusted trades and professionals when we needed them. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful but having someone that is proactive, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile just made such a huge difference. We never felt like just another sale, we felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and so grateful for everything they did to help us get there. If you are looking for agents who genuinely put in the effort and go above and beyond we would wholeheartedly recommend Craig and Dylan Heyrick.

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.
