Working with this dynamic young agent was an absolute pleasure. He immediately understood my needs and intuitively knew exactly where I was at, throughout the entire process. His communication and support were outstanding and he consistently proved to be polite, courteous, and an excellent listener. Beyond his professionalism, his warm, friendly, and funny personality made what can be a stressful experience, a lot easier.
Tema has sold multiple properties for me and I have always been very happy with her service. Always professional, weekly updates and just a genuinely good agent. I will continue to use her services in the future.
Very helpful in all aspects of selling our home Kept us updated with progress Thanks Nick and Maddy
Jordyn was great to work with throughout our purchase. She kept us well informed, negotiated a fair outcome for everyone, and went above and beyond to help make the process easier for us. We’d happily recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
We had a fantastic experience buying our new home through Trueman & Co. Jordyn was wonderful to deal with throughout the process, professional, friendly, and genuinely supportive. On auction day it was clear what a close-knit team they are, all working together and supporting one another. Brent looked after us incredibly well during the auction and negotiations, and we always felt treated fairly. The team went the extra mile to help get us over the line, and the thoughtful treats right through to move in day were such a lovely touch. Thank you to Jordyn, Brent, and the entire Trueman & Co team for making the experience so positive. We highly recommend you!
Wayne made the entire selling process easy from start to finish. His communication was excellent, he kept me informed every step of the way, and his advice was always honest and professional. He worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for me and was proactive throughout the process. I felt supported and confident in his expertise, and the result exceeded my expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wayne to anyone looking to sell their home.

As first home buyers, Jemmimah and Charlotte were fantastic to work with. They were persistent when it mattered, always fair to both us and the vendors, and took their time to walk us through every step. Their thoughtful, relatable, and reassuring approach made buying our home feel far less overwhelming. We highly recommend them as agents!
Thanks to Ranjit for their extensive knowledge and dedication. They went above and beyond, putting in extra effort to sell our property at the price we expected. Ranjit is calm, professional, and an excellent communicator, keeping us informed and updated throughout the entire process.
"As a first-time homebuyer, I was very nervous about the whole process. Ranjit singh was patient, kind, and always available to answer my endless questions. They listened to what I wanted in a home and never pressured me. Thanks to their hard work, I got the keys to my dream place. If you need a reliable and honest agent, look no further!"
We had a lovely experience buying our home with Susan from Tall Poppy. The process started with a private viewing where she took the time to show us through and point out all the property's key features. We loved the house and immediately put an offer through, and thanks to Susan's excellent rapport with the vendors, we had an agreed price just a few hours later! When we went back to the open home a few days later, the house was once again beautifully presented. Susan was incredibly pleasant to deal with from start to finish, and we highly recommended her! Thanks Susan ✨️ ❤️

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.
