Great communication, incredibly helpful to get us to unconditional
Excellent communication, engagement + market knowledge, backed by a professional team. A pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.
“Thank you for your excellent service throughout the sale of our property. You were professional, helpful, and kept us informed at every step. Your communication and hard work made the process smooth and stress-free. We are very happy with the result and would happily recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.”
Excellent communication and understanding of our situation with difficulties being in and out of the country around the time of selling. Professional and knowledgeable - felt like he had both the vendors and buyers interests at the forefront of his mind. I would use Jindy for any future house sales.
Excellent communication skills and knowledge of the local market. Always a positive happy attitude. A pleasure to work with,
Nick is a good "people person" and a very good listener and communicator. His communication skills are enviable, not only about our property and the market in general, but he was also good at encouraging us to keep going when we became depressed about difficult purchasers. At all stages of the sale, even when things were really depressing, he was very positive and helpful. Of course he has a good understanding and knowledge of the real estate industry, but more than that he understands how the process works and empathises in positive ways when things don't go according to plan. Nick has a good understanding of how and where to advertise. He changed his marketing approach regularly to keep buyers informed and the property front and centre in the media. In the six months it took to sell our property we had many meetings with Nick and his fellow agent and over that period they were always on time, which is a lot more than we can say about agents from other companies we have had dealings with.
Kale is, without a doubt, the most incredible agent we could have ever hoped to work with. From our very first meeting, he struck the perfect balance between setting realistic goals and remaining genuinely hopeful, making what could have been a stressful process feel entirely manageable. His communication is unmatched—he was always right there whenever we needed support or had questions, guiding us through every single step. Kale is incredibly kind, and it’s so clear that he builds deep, genuine relationships with his clients. It never felt like just a business transaction; it felt like having someone truly in our corner who cared about our future. We are forever grateful for the tireless work that Kale and his team put into selling our first home and helping us get into our dream home. He is our absolute idea of a No. 1 agent and a real gem in the industry. We truly couldn’t have done this without him!
Cleighton is always super easy to contact, and he keeps you in the loop of what's going on. We dragged him to many open homes and sent listings every day. He would always respond and give us the best information. Was great having him on our side to do a lot of the communications with other realtors on our behalf. He made it an easy process in a usually stressful time. He never gave up or made us feel like we were being annoying. He genuinely cares and doesnt make you feel like another number which is pretty hard these days with most real esate agents.

Ben and Jason were excellent partners in our sale. They provided excellent, well researched insights into the market. They helped prepare the property for sale including outstanding marketing material which showed the property in the best possible light. They communicated transparently and with empathy throughout the process. We are very pleased with the results achieved.
We had an excellent experience working with Andre Stewart and his team. From start to finish, they were professional, informative, and kept us well updated throughout the entire process of selling our home. Communication was outstanding — we were always kept in the loop and felt supported at every stage. Andre and his team made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. We really appreciated their knowledge of the market and their honest, straightforward advice. We would highly recommend Andre Stewart to anyone looking to sell their property

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.
