Renato and Barry Plant carried through the whole sale process very professionally and we were quite satisfied. He communicated with us regularly and although we didnt quite get the price we were hoping for in the end we were satisfied
Renato was very professional , his advice and pricing was accurate. His dealing with both purchasers and myself as the seller was both fair and enjoyable as could be in a difficult market
I had the pleasure of having Renato sell my home and, as it happened, I also purchased my new home through him. Selling and buying property is a big process and, at times, it can feel quite daunting but Renato was always kind and reassuring. He took my concerns seriously and made me feel that I was being looked after. He also has a great sense of humour which immediately put me at ease, and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more comfortable. There is always an element of trust involved when dealing with a real estate agent, but I always felt that Renato was acting in my best interests and doing the right thing by me. I appreciated his honesty, professionalism and the way he communicated throughout both transactions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Renato to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, personable and genuinely makes you feel that you’re in good hands.
Renato was excellent from the first day we met to discuss the sale of my unit. He was experienced, thorough and approachable. Always positive and enthusiastic. His team members were excellent. He kept me well informed and I felt confident that he conducted the open for inspections in a professional manner with final positive outcome. I would happily recommend him to any future seller.
Renato was great to work with. He made the process of selling our home smooth and stress-free, kept us informed every step of the way, and always had our best interests at heart. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication helped us achieve a great result. We highly recommend Renato to anyone looking to sell their home!
We recently purchased through Renato and couldn’t be happier with the experience. In a market where buyers can sometimes feel like an afterthought, Renato stood out for his transparency and genuine fairness throughout the entire process. From our first interaction, he was upfront about the property, the vendor’s expectations, and where things stood — no games, no pressure tactics, no misleading price guides. He gave us the information we needed to make a confident decision and was consistently honest even when the conversation required difficult discussions. Negotiating a property purchase at this level is stressful, but Renato made it feel straightforward and respectful. He treated us as serious buyers and engaged with us accordingly. If you’re buying or selling in the Viewbank and Banyule area, Renato is the agent you want in your corner. We’d work with him again without hesitation.
Renato was not only professional but very down to earth and felt like a part of family the moment he stepped into our home. There was no BS from him which we appreciated. He exceeded our expectations and we thank you Renato for your hard work.
We had a great experience working with Renato and his team from start to finish. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail really stood out throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand our needs, offered honest and insightful advice, and always made themselves available to answer any questions. They provided Trade contacts to do some renovations to get our house ready for sale which made the process seamless, and the quality of work was excellent. We were impressed with their dedication and transparency. I always felt informed and confident in every decision, thanks to their clear explanations and regular updates. They handled everything smoothly and efficiently, making what can often be a stressful process feel easy and well-managed. I would highly recommend Renato and Barry Plant Macleod to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Their expertise, integrity, and friendly approach truly set them apart. Steve & Joanne Doherty
As an elderly couple selling our family home for the first time, we could not have found a better agent than Renato Barra. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with him not only for the professionalism, extensive knowledge and experience he displayed but more importantly for his understanding of our feelings and needs at this stage in our lives. Renato walked us through every step of the process patiently and kept us constantly informed and updated on the progress. Renato’s commitment and expertise resulted in the timely and successful sale of our home at the end of the campaign and we are so relieved and grateful. We highly recommend Renato.
Renato was amazing to deal with throughout the whole process. He was always available, easy to talk to, and made everything feel simple and under control. You can tell he really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend Renato!
Renato Barra did an outstanding job selling my mum’s home. From the very beginning he was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive through what was a very emotional process for me. Our experience with Renato goes back a number of years. We originally purchased a home where Renato was the selling agent, and later when we sold our own home we chose to work with him again. This time, when it came to selling mum’s home, it wasn’t even a question — we trusted Renato completely and knew he was the right person to guide us through such a sensitive sale. Renato handled everything with care and respect, kept us well informed at every step, and worked hard to achieve a great outcome. His communication was excellent and we always felt confident that he had our best interests at heart. I am incredibly grateful for the way Renato managed the sale and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him — he’s someone we have trusted across multiple property transactions and would happily work with again in the future.
Easy dealing with Renato during the property assessment providing the property overview and documentation as requested. Prompt call return during the sale negotiations, allowing time to consider the property offer stages during the sale to achieve an agreeable settlement price. Very professional in understanding buyers need time to consider the biggest purchase in their life, I would be more than confident in using the services of Renato in the future.
