An outstanding agent and flawless auctioneer

Costa was exemplary. From the moment we met him, his confidence, market insight and clear strategy stood out from the other agents we interviewed. We took his advice and ended up selling under the hammer on auction day, a rare occurrence in this market. Costa was a craftsman on the day, extracting every last bid from the two parties and ensuring the increments remained high without letting the smaller bids commence too early. I’ve honestly never seen an auctioneer do that and it worked tremendously well. We would not hesitate to use Costa again and will recommend him and Belle Property Team to both family and friends in years to come.

Passionate, knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.

Working with Moses Habib from Belle Property was an excellent experience for our family. I first met Moses at a property inspection in St Kilda East and was impressed by his professionalism and enthusiasm, so I was keen for him to be involved in the sale of our home, which had been in the family for over a century. He was friendly, responsive and brought great energy to the process, keeping us updated throughout. His professionalism ensured everything ran smoothly and helped deliver a fantastic auction result. We’re very grateful and would happily recommend him.
