We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our home. Dhaval Lamgghare was there for us every step of the way — patient with our endless questions, quick to respond, and always upfront and honest, even when the answer wasn't what we wanted to hear. They took the time to really understand what we were looking for and never tried to push us into something that wasn't right for us. When we found "the one," their negotiation skills and attention to detail made all the difference in getting the deal done smoothly and at a price we were happy with. From our first showing to closing day, we felt supported and genuinely cared for. If you're looking for an agent who combines real expertise with real heart, look no further. We're beyond grateful and would recommend them to anyone buying a home.

We had a fantastic experience selling our home with Tarcille and Jeremy. They were professional, approachable and incredibly organised, and we always felt confident that our sale was in good hands. Their communication was excellent, keeping us updated on buyer interest, feedback and market expectations, while always being available to answer our questions and provide clear, honest advice. As first-time auction sellers, we really appreciated how well they explained the process and what to expect. On auction day, they were reassuring and helped us feel composed when it was our turn. They worked incredibly well as a team and genuinely put the effort in throughout the entire campaign. They made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed, and their hard work ultimately delivered a result we were really happy with. We’d absolutely work with Tarcille and Jeremy again.
Great knowledge in his field of work. Shared great ideas and options for us, easy to get hold of , went out of his way to help out where he best can.
Having been a real estate agent in the past, I found very it difficult to charge my Clients fees up to 4%, plus advertising costs, therefore I searched for a great real estate company/Agent that charged reasonable fees, discovering Arizto, in particular, Kelly Anderson. Arizto’s fees are a total of $15,000 (inclusive GST) that include all sale fees and advertising costs, excellent photographs, walk around video and floor plan. I engaged Kelly and from the date she initiated the marketing of my home, we had three weekends of open homes, three offers and sold my home for a price exceeded my expectations.
We have used Lydia for multiple real estate transactions now, and they continue to exceed our expectations every single time.Lydia is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and completely dedicated to getting the best possible outcome. What we appreciate most is her consistency—whether buying or selling, we know we can count on honest advice, prompt communication, and a stress-free process.It is rare to find an agent you can trust completely time and time again. We highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional, and we will certainly continue to use Her for all our future property needs!

Professional and enthusiastic
I was in the difficult position of selling my current home while also trying to secure the home I wanted to move into. Estelle supported me through both sides of that process. She actively helped me with the purchase, including putting in a backup offer, and I honestly think it would have been very difficult for me to manage everything without her. The selling process was stressful at times, and I was not always the easiest client. Even when I became frustrated, Estelle remained patient and professional and never responded with anger. What impressed me most was the effort she made to achieve the best possible result. She worked hard to bring potential buyers together, made countless calls, encouraged interested parties to attend and bid at the auction, and kept working right up to the final moments. Watching her at the auction, I could see that she was genuinely doing everything she could to keep her promise to me. In the end, she delivered an excellent result, and I came away feeling that she had truly given it her best. She is an absolute star in my eyes.
We had such a great experience buying a property through Thomas, who was knowledgeable, helpful and patient. He was reassuring when things got a bit tricky and was very generous with his time - he really makes you feel like you are his only client!
