It is pleasure that I provide this review for our agent Adam Grierson. Adam just recently sold our rental property in Welcome Bay. I would rate Adam 10/10 - genuine, informed and communications from him and his team were second to none. Nothing was a problem, from arranging open homes to being on site when required as we do not live locally. Thanks again and highly recommend. Lisa A.

We had a good experience working with Jemmimah Schicker throughout the process of purchasing our first home. She was friendly, approachable and kept us informed along the way. She was proactive and enthusiastic and clearly committed to getting a result for her vendors. We appreciated her communication and the effort she put into keeping things moving and helping us secure our new home and wish her all the best.
Selling a home can be overwhelming and more so, when we had a deadline to meet for our new home, but Nick made the experience far less stressful than we expected. His enthusiasm was infectious, his communication was outstanding, and he consistently provided thoughtful advice and guidance along the way. Whenever we felt stressed or uncertain, he took the time to explain the process and keep us focused on the bigger picture. Thanks to his expertise, strategy, and hard work, our home sold in just 30 days. We're incredibly grateful for everything he did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

Professional Real Estate Agent Review – 5 Stars I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent professional service provided by my real estate agent throughout the entire process. From the beginning, the agent was extremely easy to deal with, approachable, reliable, and professional. Communication was outstanding, and I was kept fully informed of all developments at every stage. What impressed me most was the agent's commitment to maintaining regular contact. I received weekly telephone calls providing updates on progress, ensuring I always understood the current situation and what was happening next. The agent demonstrated excellent communication skills, honesty, and a genuine commitment to customer service. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly, clearly, and professionally. I particularly appreciated never having to chase information or wonder about the progress of matters. The agent consistently followed up and ensured I was fully aware of the state of play. This level of personal attention, professionalism, and reliability made the entire experience straightforward and stress-free. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this agent to anyone buying or selling property. An outstanding professional service, excellent communication, and a well-deserved five-star rating. A pleasure to deal with.
Oana helped me with buying my first house, I had no idea what I was doing and without her I most likely be still living at my parents 😅 oana is awesome with all her help and made it stress free as possible, communication was great giving me calls with updates and how I was doing with everything. Oana sorted out lawyer and builder report even help with insurance company she was so great, I highly recommend her for anyone and appreciate everything she did, i can't thank her enough 😊
We purchased our house from Andre a couple of years ago. After working with him then, we reached back out when it came time to sell. The reason we went with Andre and the team is that he is as honest and patient as they come. Andre isn't the sort of person who says what you want to hear, or pushes you to make a sale for a commission. We turned down several offers before the right one came along, and he supported us the whole way through. Nothing beats a genuine, authentic partner in real estate selling... We have just bought our new home through The Bastin Group as well, working with Hunter, Brent, Katia and team. They have always been incredibly responsive, supportive and patient. Great team.
Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. Adam Grierson and his team sold our house in record time and achieved a fantastic result with a really good contract. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly, with great communication throughout. The whole process couldn’t have been

Both Michelle and Tony were extremely good at keeping me up to date with all information about the sightings of my house. Michelle’s market knowledge was great, she went above and beyond negotiating a good deal for me when the house went to auction. Their professionalism was superb. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Marlena is the friendliest real estate agent I have come across. She has excellent knowledge of every detail about the property and the buying process. She is always ready to help and responds promptly to any questions or concerns. Buying a first home can be quite stressful, but Marlenna made the process much easier by providing all the information and guidance we needed throughout the journey. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Marlenna to anyone looking to buy a home.
