We've lived in the Gateway estate for 12 years. During this time Alan has been visible within our community. It was an easy choice to utilise Alan's services when we decided to sell our family home. Alan is personable, genuine, professional, realistic, approachable...a absolute pleasure to work with and to know. We highly recommend Alan's services!

Saying "thank you" to Alan, just doesn't feel enough. The experience we had with him compared to our estate agents last year - chalk and cheese. Alan's work ethic is second to none. He's honest, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, transparent and his communication is spot on. We always felt informed and supported, every step of the way. We're so grateful to have had him by our side for such a stressful, big moment in our lives. Our home was sold by day 7 and officially signed up by day 8. Even when contracts were signed, he still worked tirelessly in the background incase the sale fell through. He was supposed to sell my parents' house as well, but due to family medical issues, this did not go ahead. Alan's concern was for my family's well being and not with the sale that he lost. We cannot recommend Alan highly enough. If you want the best price, a quick result and an honest agent. Alan is your man!!!

Alan was an absolute professional when selling our dear Mum’s beloved home. He approached every aspect with respect & genuinely cared & understood how hard this was for us. We sold our Lilydale home with Alan 9 years ago & didn’t hesitate to reach out to Alan to sell Mum’s home. His knowledge of the area & market was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Alan sold the home within 5 days, holding 3 opens in that time & achieving a fabulous price. Alan communicated with us every step of the way with multiple calls per day. We would highly recommend Alan, without hesitation. Absolute 5 Star ⭐️ service.

After months of anticipation, emotions and decisions, we are beyond thrilled to share that our home sold in just 5 days!!! We owe a huge thank you to the brilliant Alan Holmes from Max Brown Lilydale for making this happen. From day one, Alan brought professionalism, expertise, and a calming confidence that turned what could’ve been a stressful process into something seamless. Alan's attention to detail, sharp market insight, and commitment to getting the best result for us truly set Alan apart. Every viewing, every question, every step of the way — Alan was right there, always only a call away. Alan didn’t just sell a property; he helped us close a chapter and start our new one with ease. If you’re thinking of selling, buying, or just need honest advice about the market, I can’t recommend Alan Holmes from Max Brown Lilydale high enough. We will be forever grateful to Alan in being there for us, and making our retirement dream a reality.

We had the pleasure of working with Alan as our real estate agent, and we cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service he provided throughout the entire process. Alan is, without question, one of the most proactive agents in the market. His professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of the real estate industry set him apart. From our initial consultation to the final stages of the transaction, Alan consistently demonstrated a high level of commitment and integrity. He never left us waiting for answers or updates—his communication was clear, timely, and always reassuring. What truly distinguishes Alan is his ability to think strategically and outside the box. His innovative approach allowed us to navigate challenges effectively and capitalise on opportunities we may not have otherwise considered. Beyond his professional expertise, Alan is personable and approachable, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Alan also has an incredible ability to truly understand his clients’ needs. He goes above and beyond in every aspect, not just to close a deal, but because he genuinely wants to see his clients happy and satisfied. That level of care and dedication is rare—and it makes all the difference. If you are considering selling and are unsure of whom to trust, we wholeheartedly recommend Alan. His results-driven approach, combined with his dedication to client success, makes him a standout professional in the real estate industry.

We actually bought this house with Alan as the agent a few years ago and had a great experience as buyers so naturally we requested him to come and appraise our home. As first time sellers, we weren't sure how things worked or what we were signing up too - so I would definitely recommend asking as many as questions as you can if you are unsure, we weren't as confident and didn't ask the questions we should have! His follow up and communication throughout the process has been amazing - updates and additional information and recommendations to get our house in the best state possible to sell. He ended up getting us a great price, with our house only being on the market for just over a week which was incredible. Would definitely recommend using Alan as an agent who is passionate about his job and getting his vendors the best possible price!

Alan's knowledge in real estate is second to none. He diligently researches all the parameters to get you the best deal whether you are buying or selling. Having bought two properties with him and having sold our last one, we have always trusted his judgement and have always been satisfied with the prices we have got. Not only is his knowledge on the real estate market second to none, but his knowledge on the local area is too. I would highly recommend Alan to anyone buying or selling.

Alan had recently sold a property to us 1 month prior, and we said “We want that guy to sell our place!” He was very knowledgeable of the area, and its occupants even. Speaking to him as the seller to us OR from us, you know he is shooting straight down the line. He does a great job at communicating with both vendor and buyers, always keeping each party up to date.
Alan Holmes
Highly recommend Alan if you are looking to sell your prize possession. He is honest, reliable & always available to discuss your requirements. Thanks so much Alan, for selling our home in such a short amount of time.

It was a no brainer to call on Alan to sell our home, his communication was fantastic, he was in constant contact with updates and went above and beyond even calling after hours and Sundays, always up for a chat and nothing was ever a problem, he made the process enjoyable for our Family. We cannot thank Alan enough for achieving a great result for our home. Highly recommend Alan, his knowledge of the local area especially The Gateway is second to none.
