We had a great experience working with our real estate agent throughout the process of buying our home. They were professional, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. Their guidance made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Ally sold our house rapidly and for a great price. I don't think that any other agent would have achieved a better outcome for us. When I was selecting an agent to sell my house, I interviewed 5 agents from the Cairns and Redlynch area. On paper, Ally wasn't a front-runner as she had no experience with selling million-dollar-plus homes. However, after interviewing Ally, we concluded that she was honest, a great communicator, likeable, and was prepared to give us her best effort. Additionally, she was fully supported by a large agency with plenty of experience and resources. From the time we signed up with Ally, she was committed to getting us the best outcome. When the property was listed, she was inundated with potential buyers from across the country. Ally provided us with timely progress updates, and came to us with an acceptable offer after just 10 days. From start to finish we found Ally to be great. We have recommended Ally to friends in the area and would happily use her as our agent again.

I engaged Matt as one of several agents I met with when seeking a market appraisal and deciding who would be the best fit to sell my home. I appreciated his enthusiasm and his confidence that he could achieve a strong result. The marketing campaign for my property was well executed and showcased the effort I put into preparing the home. There were, however, aspects of the process that didn’t align with my expectations. I felt pressured during the initial meeting, as Matt was reluctant to leave without securing my signature. Throughout the campaign, the “working as a team” approach he emphasised felt more directive than collaborative, including being told to leave my own home for the first open in a tone I found unnecessarily firm. I also had concerns about how the first contract was handled. The buyers were pushed to a level that ultimately led them to withdraw during cooling‑off, which Matt later referred to as a “unicorn offer”. With more focus on understanding my goals, there may have been an opportunity to keep that contract at a level acceptable to both buyer and seller. The second contract was presented as the only realistic option, and I was advised that future offers would be significantly lower. I had expected to be shown all offers and conditions so I could make an informed decision myself. Communication also became more limited once the contract was secured, despite being told at the start that Matt would be my sole point of contact. In practice, I dealt with multiple people across the agency. Matt’s support person, Joel, was very authentic and honest, which I appreciated. The final touchpoint — an email from the head of the company addressed to my ex‑husband and using my former married name, despite me signing under my maiden name and being the sole owner — reinforced a lack of attention to detail. No apology followed. Overall, the property sold and marketing was strong, but my experience of the process was mixed. The service could be improved.

I contacted Giles after reading the many positive reviews about him online, and I'm glad I did. From our very first conversation, Giles didn't miss a beat. Working abroad at the time, I needed someone I could trust to take control of the sale process, and that's exactly what he did. He coordinated repairs I wasn't even aware were needed, organised cleaning and landscaping, and presented the property in a way I had never seen before. The transformation was exceptional. Throughout the entire process, Giles kept me informed every step of the way. His communication was outstanding, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and believe me, he took on way more than is expected of an agent. Thanks to his hard work, experience, and attention to detail, we ultimately sold the property above the asking price. I can't thank Giles and his team enough for everything they did. The level of service, professionalism, and genuine care they provided is becoming increasingly rare these days. If only all real estate agents operated like this. Good old-fashioned FNQ hospitality and customer service at its very best.

Karl and his team achieved a great sale price for our Cairns home, and we are very happy with the result. We have known Karl for years and have always appreciated his drive, honesty and tenacity. From start to finish, the process was easy and professional. Karl and his team communicated exceptionally well, were very responsive to our questions, and kept us informed throughout the entire campaign. One thing we really appreciated was how easy Karl made the process for us. He is well connected with local tradespeople, which meant we did not have to stress about organising everything ourselves. The photos of the property were amazing, and the overall presentation and marketing were excellent. If you want a professional agent who delivers what they says they will, and more, we can highly recommend Karl and his team.
