Mary and Sarah are simply the best! Their knowledge and understanding of the market was reassuring. They showed dedication to us as a family through the selling/buying process. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to find the perfect buyer and our new home!!


Their communication was excellent—they kept me informed every step of the way and always made me feel like a priority. Whether it was negotiating the best deal or answering my countless questions with patience, they truly went above and beyond.


If you're looking for real estate agents who genuinely care and will go the extra mile for you, Mary and Sarah are the ones to call. I can't recommend them highly enough! Thank you both for everything!

5 star service

A row of black stars on a white background.

Mary and Sarah really listened to what we asked for and what we felt was important. They have been consistently professional and have been good communicators throughout the process. They are highly knowledgeable in their field, and are honest, trustworthy, and transparent, but still friendly and approachable and available to answer questions. We felt that their valuation was spot on, and cannot fault their service. Forever grateful and highly recommend these two agents.

Our experience dealing with Sarah was exceptional.

A row of black stars on a white background.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Sarah and we are so pleased to have had her as our agent to sell our home.


From the very start when she appraised our property right to the end of the sale process, Sarah made us feel completely taken care of, supported, totally at ease and in safe hands.


Sarah's friendly, sincere and genuine nature was what first drew us to her.


She is so very easy to talk with, has great market knowledge, offered clear advice, kind guidance, had excellent communications and was an absolute professional in the way she dealt with us.


Our experience dealing with Sarah was exceptional.


Sarah's commitment to selling our property actually resulted in her getting our home under contract in the first week of it being on the market at our listed price right after the very first open home which we were happy to accept and sign.


The place was settled in 4 weeks and all with no hiccups or hassles! Amazing!


We were over the moon and so grateful to have had Sarah and her team onboard to sell our home. Everything went so smoothly, it couldn't have gone any better.


Without hesitation we would recommend Sarah to everyone and really can't say enough about what she achieved for us.


Our results and the results of many say it all!


Thank you again Sarah, for being you and doing what you do so well, you're the best!

Excellent Agent

A row of black stars on a white background.

We have sold and bought with Sarah before, so we wouldn't think of using anyone one else. Sarah is so good at all aspects of her job from communication to organising trades. She is so helpful and nothing seems to faze her she is all about solutions not problems. We would highly recommend her.

An absolute professional

A row of black stars on a white background.

Sarah from start to finish exemplified the absolute best in how a Real Estate salesperson should work. Her communication, product knowledge, marketing expertise, and energy was simply outstanding, this providing for our confidence in achieving a very good result with an unconditional sale under the hammer at our auction.


We could not be more pleased and have no hesitation in recommending her to both sellers and buyers for their real estate needs.

A breath of fresh air

A row of black stars on a white background.

Sarah is such an amazing person with a beautiful soul. She's personable and totally relatable. She worked so hard for us with a quick turnaround time. She was given a task and she definitely understood the assignment.


I just knew from the moment I met her I could trust her in getting it done.


I found Sarah after constantly seeing her posts etc popping up on my feeds. I wasn't following her but she kept making her presence known. Seeing a property down the road from us switch to her and get the results made me do a little bit of digging.


We were originally signed with a different agent and firm. We were frustrated with the lack of marketing and interest in our property with an agent we weren't happy with, so needing to change. After seeing Sarah getting results with other homes we chose her and it was the best decision we made!


She was thorough and did not pressure us. Covered every basis and was only a call or text away. She constantly gave us updates of what she was doing and how things were progressing. A polar opposite experience from our first agent!


Sarah is definitely a REAL estate agent. If you are looking for someone to work for you and willing to put in the effort then choose her. Honestly I don't have the words to describe how thankful I am.

Above and beyond

A row of black stars on a white background.

I meet Mary when I decided to sell my unit. She gave me great advice and told me all the options, as I wanted a quick sale so I went for the Tender option. During this process she was always available to answer questions and rang me daily to give me updates, arranging private viewings etc. She made the whole process less stressful and with her help my unit was under contract within 3 weeks. She also helped me buy another unit. I would highly recommend Mary if you are selling or buying property as it can be a very stressful time and Mary eased me through wonderfully. I feel she went above and beyond what was expected of her as a salesperson.
