Heatha's knowledge of the market we were in is very good. i would definitely recommend her as an agent, and would have no hesitation in using her again.
Excellent communication and professional
Heatha was very professional throughout the sale process. Heatha is a very bubbly person and makes you feel at ease throughout the sale process.
Heatha was always available to answer questions from a new person delving into property sale. She always kept me informed as to any changes that occurred . Heather appreciated the fact that I was struggling and happily involved my daughter in the process.
Communication very good
We truly appreciated her warm professionalism and the way she shared her wealth of knowledge, always with a touch of humour that put us at ease. Heatha was a great communicator and patiently helped us (first home buyers) understand every step along the way.
Where do I start—choosing Matt as my sales agent was an easy decision, and he certainly delivered. He was honest, reliable, and professional throughout the entire process, and most importantly, he got the job done. Matt made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. His communication was excellent—always responsive, even to the occasional late-night text—and he kept me informed every step of the way. Along the journey, we even managed to share a few laughs, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy agent.
Matt has great market knowledge and understands his vendors and purchasers needs. Highly recommended.
Matt was great. He was able to move as quickly as his clients allowed. There was transparency between us and his vendors, Matt kept his comms line open, he works the negotiation aspect VERY well. We enjoyed the buying process with Matt and would choose him to sell any of our properties in the future. It was awesome to connect again Matt!
Charlotte answered all questions and she would find out the details if they were not available immediately. She negotiated very successfully. She knew what the market was doing and very confident in the marketing process. Nothing was ever a problem.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
