Mel is an gem - matching us with this property, the best communication, nothing an inconvenience and assisting with all the tick boxes and managing excitement for first home buyers. I hope this is the first of many dealings!
Mel is one of the best agents I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve used her several times. She’s diligent, creative, reliable, and always finds a way to get the job done. Nothing seems too difficult for her, and I know I can trust her to follow things through. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mel to anyone looking for an agent who genuinely works hard for her clients.
Found Tim great to work with and was patient as buying commercial isn’t a quick process. Tim was always helpful and made great suggestions to help keep things moving.
Mel worked tirelessly to promote and sell my home-leiasing with council for lim information and in touch with trades for work information- thinking outside the box to make the sale smooth- with a kind professional manner- I would recommend Mel for sales and purchase without hesitation.
Found Tim to be very well informed on what is happening in the market around the district. His communication skills and professionalism was excellent and very much appreciated.
Not a word usually associated with RE agents but Mel was honest when showing me properties, pointing out any serious weaknesses. I had shared my objectives at our first meeting and it is easy to get distracted by all the options but Mel always kept me on track!
Mel was very responsive and helpful

10 days after listing our property, an offer was made and has since been confirmed as sold! The marketing, which included an online presence backed up by great photography,led to a lot of favourable comment. Thank you Tim and Natalie for your professionalism and empathy throughout the process.
Excellent communicator, we felt Mel went above and beyond to help us not only to sell our home but purchase our next home. It was a great learning curve selling our 100yr old home, dealing with builders, great negotiating skills , but always handled with skill and grace. Thank you Mel.
Tim and Nat were fantastic to work with as first‑time buyers. Their communication was clear, consistent, and always reassuring. They guided us through every step of the process, explained things in a way we could understand, and made the whole experience far less stressful. Their market knowledge and professionalism really stood out, and we felt supported the entire way. Top service we’re very happy.
