Treston contacted me weekly regarding the open houses to give an update of the views of prospective buyers, provided a weekly written report which included the number of visitors, positive and negative feedbacks and offers made by prospective buyers. I took comfort knowing that Treston was working on my behalf to achieve the best results.

Jake is pretty much the only real estate agent that I would trust with the sale of any property. I’ve known him for quite a few years and he has now sold two houses for us and provided stellar advice on the purchase of our new family home. Jake is always extremely straightforward and I can rely on him to provide his no BS opinion on any question I can think to ask him. He has a pretty great depth of knowledge of the Canberra market in general and I don’t think anyone can match him on his experience with property in the Belco area. He has a fantasy agent and I can’t recommend him enough.

Our experience with Treston was frustrating. He declined to present our offer to the seller without a physically signed contract, and postponed meetings to attain this on several occasions. Additionally, he provided incorrect guidance regarding solicitor documentation, which caused unnecessary legal expenses and delays.

Treston and his team delivered an outstanding result for the sale of our property. The entire campaign was managed with absolute professionalism, and the auction outcome exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Treston for his market expertise and strategic approach.

Jake was exceptional from start to finish. He went above and beyond every expectation I had of a real estate agent and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless, organised, and genuinely well-managed. From the very beginning, Jake handled everything with a high level of professionalism—clear communication, strong market knowledge, and a well-executed marketing strategy that generated real interest and results. He guided me through pricing, positioning, and negotiations with confidence and transparency, always keeping my best interests front of mind. Every obligation you’d expect from an agent was not only met, but exceeded. He kept me consistently informed, managed buyer enquiries efficiently, coordinated inspections smoothly, and ensured all documentation and processes were handled correctly and on time. His attention to detail and ability to stay on top of every moving part was incredibly reassuring. What really stood out was how quickly and effectively he handled any issues that came up. Nothing was ever brushed off—everything was addressed promptly, professionally, and with a solution-focused approach. I always felt supported and knew I could rely on him. Jake’s work ethic, communication, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set him apart. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven agent.

Jake is phenomenal—truly in a league of his own. Every single time I’ve worked with him, he’s been nothing but outstanding. He’s direct, honest, and tells you exactly what you need to hear—no fluff, no games, no BS. If you want someone who delivers real results with total integrity, Jake is absolutely the one you want in your corner. I’ve used him three or four times now, and honestly, the experience just keeps getting better. I wouldn’t dream of going to anyone else. Jake’s commitment, expertise, and energy are unmatched. And it’s not just Jake—the entire Ray White team consistently goes above and beyond. They’ve worked tirelessly to achieve brilliant results on every one of my properties. Their dedication, passion, and attention to detail make the whole process smooth, stress‑free, and genuinely enjoyable. Simply put: Jake and the Ray White team are exceptional. Five stars doesn’t even come close.

We bought the Cook townhouse twelve years ago from Ray White’s consummate trio Phyllis Tidmarsh, Gerard Northey and Troy Reddick. My mother proudly placed their fridge magnets on her fridge as a memento of the successful day. When it came time to sell the property we returned to those same magnets to contact Phyllis as she remains the inner Belconnen region’s real estate go-to for smooth and stress-free sales. Her extensive market understanding coupled with her impeccable professional demeanour made her the perfect choice to partner in this major transaction. Throughout the campaign we valued the regular updates and insights she provided through her calm and reassuring engagement. We achieved an excellent result. We recommend the ‘Queen of Cook’ without reservation!
Phyllis Tidmarsh
As a local agent, she has great market knowledge and insight, which gave us great confidence throughout the process. Being nearby meant she could meet at short notice, making everything very convenient. She was personable and easy to deal with, yet highly professional. Proactive and always quick to respond to any queries, she kept things moving smoothly and ensured we felt informed and supported every step of the way.

Phyllis not only is a first class human being but a true professional real estate agent I can only say she has to be the best in the industry in every way Thank you Phyllis for your dedication, kindness and professionalism, I could not have asked for more.
Phyllis Tidmarsh
Phyllis is an extremely good agent. She has an exceptional knowledge of the market, especially in Cook, and was able to manage my expectations very gently. She ran a great campaign, with around 50 groups inspecting my home. She communicated with me regularly, including chasing up questions from possible buyers. She and Troy Reddick ran the auction and subsequent negotiations very well. A number of my friends and family commented on how good an auctioneer Troy is and how well Phyllis ran the whole process. I would not hesitate to recommend Phyllis to anyone seeking to sell their home.
