Darrell and his team were fantastic throughout the entire sales process. Darrell was an excellent communicator from start to finish — always professional, approachable, and supportive. He even made himself available during his holiday in Japan to assist with the settlement process, which truly showed his dedication and commitment to his clients. What could have been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and enjoyable one. I especially appreciated the genuine care, guidance, and reassurance Darrell provided throughout the journey. He was a great middleman between the vendor and purchaser, helping both parties feel heard and happy with the outcome. Wishing Darrell and The Move team all the very best moving forward. Highly recommend!

Good communication, good knowledge and good at working to get the best price.
Great experience from start to finish. The team were professional, responsive, and accommodating, making the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. Communication was clear throughout, Darrell gave honest, practical advice, and handled the negotiation process with confidence and clarity. Highly recommend, wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Shelley had great knowledge of our area and listings of sold houses. Nothing was a problem, Shelley negotiated between the seller and us to ensure both parties were happy with the agreed price. We would recommend Shelley to anyone, her amazing professionalism sold us.

We found Jamie amazing to deal with. She was always responsive and in a quick time frame. She made the house available for us to view and always gave us plenty of time to do this without feeling rushed. She was very pleasant and filled us with confidence.
I didn't deal with Anu at all, never met him though I'm sure he is lovely! Have been asked to review him multiple times now, would love to if I knew who he was. I dealt with his partner, Jeremy Watson, who was absolutely great. I had met him already at a number of open homes and found him to be approachable, friendly and professional. The process of buying the house was incredibly easy thanks to him.

Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but Nikki made the experience smooth and reassuring. Her communication was exceptional, and her advice on presenting and preparing our home was practical, honest, and incredibly helpful. We felt well guided and looked after at each step of the way.

Jamie communicated exceptionally well with us throughout the entire process, ensuring we were always fully informed about what was happening. She was highly proactive in managing every aspect of the sale and consistently followed up to keep things moving smoothly. At no stage did we need to chase her for updates—she was always one step ahead, providing clear information and answers before we even needed to ask. Her professionalism and dedication made the experience seamless, and we would highly recommend her services.
Jane worked hard and was very knowledgeable. She was easy to talk to . Always pleasant .
We didn't intend to go through this process until we found ourselves in an open home hosted by Jeremy Watson. We immediately fell in love with the home and from there it was a whirlwind process with Jeremy and Anu that has been a real pleasure. The guys came to our place and gave us a list of practical suggestions for getting our house sold quickly and at the best possible price. We followed their advice to the letter and had regular check-ins about progress and other ways to approach the sale. Jeremy and Anu have an incredible market knowledge individually and together, their personable manner and communication styles have made this entire process as close to being joyful as possible. Any questions we've had have been answered swiftly and at no point have we questioned our decision to do this with them. We couldn't recommend them highly enough. Professionalism beyond reproach, funny, intelligent and bursting with knowledge and experience. Thank you lads, it's been a pleasure.
