Dealing with Calvin was a great experience, before or during a sale. He was always ready to help or suggest right decision. Totally non aggressive approach in regards to increase, or reduction, of property price.

A husband and wife team who pride them selves in going above and beyond for their clients. As an interstates buyer Calvin and Karen have been a wealth of knowledge for myself and my wife, buying our first property. His local and industry real estate knowledge is second to none and has a wealth of experience from previous careers and knows the best way forward. He is a real professional and I can tell they enjoy their job. Thanks for your help.


Thankyou Calvin & Karen for the fantastic effort you both did of selling my home. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Highly recommend you to others.

Calvin and Karen are a working couple who are the epitome of a Team. I had engaged an agent to sell my property, without any real success, so I invited several agents to inspect my property and propose to me how they would market it, and in what range. As soon as I met Calvin and Karen, I felt their empathy, professionalism, understanding and understood their marketing approach. Calvin talked about building a relationship, and that is exactly what they did. They made it quite clear that achieving my outcome is what they would drive for, while also being realistic about how the market moves, providing feedback at every juncture. I must say, not once did I feel like I was a number, a means to earn money. Calvin and Karen put in a massive effort, not only to achieve the sale of my home, but afterwards, during the pre-settlement inspections, they went above and beyond, coordinating the final contract conditions on my behalf. Not only can I not thank them enough for what they have done for me, I can not recommend they highly enough to anyone who wants to sell their home or who are looking for a home. This couple displays a level of professionalism that makes you feel like this is an adventure, not a real estate transaction.

Moving from interstate, we found Calvin to be professional, friendly and very easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. His after sales service has also been fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying, or selling, through Calvin. He's honest, professional, and knows his stuff!

Very helpful and responsive. Knows his stuff . Was a great help in securing my first home in Australia.

As someone who was deeply sceptical about estate agents in general I have to say Calvin changed my mind. Finally, an estate agent I can trust! I can't believe any other agent would have worked harder, or been more dedicated, to selling our home. The service Calvin provided went above and beyond anything I'd expected. Fantastic communication, incredibly helpful - truly exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to employ his services again or to recommend Simply real estate to my family and friends. Thank you Calvin!

Calvin and Karen were the most genuine and honest agents we have met whilst looking for a home in Hervey Bay. They listened to our criteria and presented us with a home they knew would suit our style A rare diamond in the rough that actually sell homes rather than simply opens the door like most agents Calvin especially went above and beyond and we never felt like we were inconveniencing him or that we couldn’t ask questions at any time of the day. Inspections were always easy and we never felt rushed We honestly could not have been happier with the whole process. It was made smooth and seamless and we ended up with a family home we absolutely love.

I would without doubt recommend Calvin Marais to potential sellers. His professionalism was outstanding throughout the selling and buying process. We were very fortunate. Highly recommended .
