All smiles and excellent communication until you move in, then any issues you have are just ignored by the incompetent staff at the Eltham branch. Terrible team, would think twice before dealing with them.

Absolutely amazing customer service and support from Amelia Giles throughout the sale of my property. Amelia is an exemplary member of staff and highly recommend to other potential property sellers. Amelia kept me updated regularly and worked so hard chasing 3rd parties on my behalf.

Thoroughly helpful service the whole time, with up to date contact throughout which helped ease our nerves and answer the many questions we had as first time buyers. Mark has been fantastic from the beginning, even when we were unsure what we wanted from a property. Highly Recommend!

I had a very disappointing experience…

My experience with this agency has been extremely frustrating. I never agreed to the new tenant, yet they are now asking me to pay money for something I did not approve or sign. Communication has been unclear and very stressful, and I felt constant pressure throughout the process. This has been one of the worst agency experiences I’ve had, and I would not recommend them.
