Dan is a sharp communicator who is dedicated to understanding your needs and finding you the perfect match. He is relentless in the most meaningful way, he didn't give up even when I felt like it! He is incredibly well informed, and if there's something he doesn't know, he'll bend over backwards to find out for you. Dan got me a house well below my budget and perfect for my needs! He is gentle and kind, and a ferocious hard ass. Not to mention he's a snazzy dresser.
He was extremely delightful New what he was about. Negotiations swift professional. He went above and beyond
Tanya was lovely to work with on purchasing my first home. Very helpful letting me know the next steps and offering support along the way.
Communication style confident, decisive, good listener, understood our worries and concerns. Had a really good market knowledge of the particular area we were selling in (Sydenham , Beckenham and surrounds). He advised us to go to auction, and while we were dubious at first, this approach delivered a good sale price towards the top end of our expectations. Very professional in dealings: responsive to queries and dealt very well with issues as they arose

Professional, proactive and great to work with.
Aaron was great and professional in showcasing the available houses we were looking for. Guiding us through the purchase process and the Auction. His help following the auction in connecting us to other reliable trades people, to prepare for moving in was seamless. His personal help was greatly appreciated.
I first contacted James a couple of years before actually committing to selling my investment property. That first impression was lasting, James was outstanding in every way, he was kind, informative and very patient. When I was eventually ready to sell, I didn’t bother to ‘shop around’ I knew I wanted James to assist me with selling my property. I contacted him and he remembered me and the property even after those two years. James has been amazing, I can’t praise him enough for the hard work, kindness, and professionalism he showed me. James’s knowledge and determination were outstanding. For anyone reading this review, I HIGHLY recommend contacting James Dwyer, thanks again for a great experience :)

We recently sold with Josh Hilbers at Harcourts and were blown away by the experience. Josh treated our home with incredible respect, ensuring every detail was perfect. He made recommendations that that other agents didnt and with his market knowledge and expertise's they were spot on, and we achieved a result well beyond our expectations. He is a clear communicator and a total professional. Do yourself a favor and give him a call.

I had a great experience working with Rebecca. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me through the process. She communicated clearly at every step, kept me informed, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her dedication and expertise truly made a difference.
Great communicator, knowledgeable, professional = top dude!
