Very pleasant experience with Chris. From the start, he was highly responsive to my questions even outside of normal working hours. He also helped me organise moving a bed I'd purchased before settlement since we didn’t have storage & even assisted with lifting it on the day which was well beyond what you’d expect from an agent. Thanks again for all your assistance in purchasing my first home.
Nick and Lyndon provided great advise on getting our property ready for the market, which we felt ensured a quick and positive result for us. Communication was outstanding and we felt fully informed throughout the sales process. This is the second property they have helped us sell and we would not hesitate to recommend them both.
Chris is a superb communicator and has served us well in our sale of the Helensburgh Rd property. He has given us much support in knowing what to do initially in preparing the property for sale, and then during the sale process. He reported regularly on open homes, buyers' feedback and guiding us through the negotiating phase. I would thoroughly recommend Chris to prospective vendors and encourage highly to use such a skilled agent. In addition, we would thank him and his wife, Julie for staging areas of the house to expose its potential - a big help! Thanks Chris, Polly and Julie for helping us to a successful sale.
We so appreciated Julie's assistance in selling our property. She was so approachable and professional to deal with. She really understood our circumstances and put together a plan that suited our family. She delivered an excellent result, with strong offers coming in before the deadline. Would gladly recommend Julie - exactly the person you want on your team when selling a house!

I had a fantastic experience working with Alana. Her communication is top-notch; I was never left wondering what was happening, or what stage of the sale we were in. She was incredibly quick to respond to every question I had, no matter how small. If you're looking for an agent who is professional, efficient, and truly supportive, I highly recommend them.
As a buyer, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy Julie made the process. She has excellent communication and worked well with everyone to get the sale across the line. I am most appreciative of her kind and honest approach to the sale though.
Ganesh had great market awareness and gave us good advice on how to prepare our property for the best outcome. When it came to negotiations with the buyer, I appreciated how Ganesh did not step back from this and went back multiple times to ensure we got what we wanted.
I was impressed by Graeme's deep understanding and knowledge of the property market. I felt comfortable following his advice and appreciated his guidance throughout the marketing and sales process.
Reene and Ganesh, were both very accommodating and helped make the process very smooth! Easy to work with and both super friendly.

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.
