We were just a bit sad that Karl did'nt turn up by handing over the keys from our new home with a big surprising Box... Ok it was his secretary,Andrea, but this happend in front of the Door of the RealEstate, not much of a emotional place..
When on the market he kept us appraised promptly and clearly. At no time did we get the impression that we were just another seller. We thought that living on the West Coast and selling a property on the East East would be a daunting experience but it was quite the opposite because of the way Karl looked after us. I would certainly recommend him to other buyers or sellers.
After we visited the propery the first time, Karl was able to provide us with all the "bells and whistles" of the property. And when we decided to buy the property he was reachable all the time if there was a problem or question. He also reached out tu us to see if everything was fine. Even on settelment day, he could't be there personaly, he phoned, gratulated us and assured that if there are furder problems, we can call him and he would try to help us.
“I highly recommend Rebecca for anyone seeking a top-tier real estate professional. She effortlessly balances deep industry expertise with a warm, approachable demeanor. Rebecca possesses a sophisticated understanding of the market, but it is her keen insight into human dynamics that truly gives her a competitive edge over other agents.”
Luke made the sale of our house very stress free. Nothing was an issue and he was the most trustworthy estate agent I've ever come across, which was important to us when selling a major asset.
Natasha ensured that we were well informed throughout the sale process, and went above and beyond to make sure our requirements were met.
Liam was a breath of fresh air in breezy Palm Cove! Professional but also cared enough to achieve the best outcome for all involved, lovely to deal with and prompt. I would trust him to buy or sell with.
Pauline was very approachable from the beginning made my buying experience wonderful. Effective communication with clients Eg, providing regular update. Pauline also provided good guidance especially for a first home buyer who had no experience in housing market. Thank you
Delighted with Liam’s work. We were selling in a difficult market but he was able to secure two very interested parties which enabled us to get the best possible price. He communicated clearly and openly throughout. Highly recommended.

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
