Could not recommend Alan highly enough.

Alan made the purchase of my home very easy. He took the time to listen and followed my requirements to the word. A thorough gentleman. I would not hesitate recommending Alan for purchasing/selling a property.

After being in the same home for 25 years, I decided to sell. Alan was recommended by a family member who immediately put my mind at ease. Coming out of Covid lockdown it was a difficult time, as inspections were by appointment only. Nothing was to much trouble, his communication and attention to detail was excellent. His experience and knowledge of the market was extremely valuable due this period. I sold within the week and was very happy with the price.

A very professional working experience.

Alan’s knowledge of the local market was exemplary and he had a very good handle on valuations . He valued my property and got the price. Clearly he has great negotiation skills.

Couldn't be happier

I'm so glad we chose Alan Holmes (and his assistant Ruth Stafford) to list our Lilydale home. We were nervous first-time vendors living 2+ hours away from the property we were selling, so we needed someone trustworthy and reliable who would get the job done with minimum fuss. Alan and Ruth did exactly that! Not only did they make the process of preparing our house for sale painless and stress-free, but they achieved an incredible result that was beyond our expectations – in just over a week! Alan is professional, confident and knowledgeable, and his negotiation skills just blew us away. To top it off, both Alan and Ruth are lovely, genuine people who really care about their clients and go out of their way to help them achieve their dreams. I can't thank them enough.

After meeting with many agents we were feeling a bit flat, then Alan was referred to us and it all changed. From the moment we meet he listened, advised from his 20+ years of local knowledge, but most importantly to us he was engaged and positive. We felt we were in safe hands and it proved to be true. Alan provided personal attention all the way through including attending with his stylist and photographer. Alan offered more "opens" and kept us in the loop after every one, and our house sold in a week. And due to Alan's professional advice to continue opens until after the sale was final we had others wanting to make offers should the sale fall through. What more can a seller ask? I will be keeping Alan's number in my contacts as I will be pleased to refer him in the future.

Alan sold the house in time the frame he suggested. He worked 2 opens a week during that time and got a price at the upper end of our price range.

Alan Holmes sold our house within 4 days of going on the internet for an exceptional price we couldn't be happier. From the moment he walked in our door he was enthusiastic about our home and with the comparable sales he has made in the area for amazing prices we could not have given our home to sell to anyone else. Alan kept us informed during the sales process and made it all as easy as possible. We would highly recommend Alan to anyone in the area wishing to sell their home. Kind regards Alisha and Ben

Our dealings with Alan started about 17 years ago when he sold us the block of land and most recently about 12 months before putting house on market with a number of discussions about modest renovations to carry out to maximise buyer appeal. Alan was very professional throughout the full sales process, honest about current state of local market and provided us with potential buyer feedback both positive and negative. Alan carried out many open for inspections during the 4 week period to sale to maximise viewing opportunity for potential buyers. Alan maintained confident of ability to achieve a good result and achieved a very solid result. We are very happy with the work he did in selling our home. We highly recommended Alan. Thanks Alan.

We have bought and sold several houses with Alan Holmes and his team at Max Brown and each time have been extremely happy with their service provided. Alan is extremely prompt and helpful on all matters regarding the purchasing and selling process.

Alan Holmes was the perfect agent for us

Alan Holmes was the perfect agent for us

We first went to Alan about selling our home after buying an off the plan apartment in Mooroolbark and over the two years while it was being built we got some wonderful advice and naturally we followed it with the usual uncluttering needed. When the day was finally here to put our house to market we felt very comfortable with Alan representing and showcasing our home, he never let us down because the communication was there right from the beginning. The extra special thing is Alan goes by your wishes and respects your opinions PLUS a great negotiator and we are very happy about the price achieved with the sale of our home.
