Testimonials

As a first time buyer, we found Matt's expertise to be professional and his calmness under pressure extremely reassuring throughout what was an extremely stressful period. There is no substitute for an insiders view of the residential real estate industry, regardless of how much you think you have learned from the media and talking to friends. Matt regularly went beyond the call of duty, working weekends and evenings on our behalf as well as offering to undertake the pre-settlement inspection. Matt also deferred to his colleague Saul when we changed tack midway through our search and began focusing on a different part of Sydney (which Saul was more familiar with).

Although we were initially disappointed that we missed out on our first choice at our first auction, it was reassuring to know that the final price came in well above Matt's appraisal value. Just as importantly, Matt steered us away from properties that were less suited to our needs and would have taken many years to recoup a reasonable capital gain.

When we found a property that my wife and I both liked, Matt negotiated a price that was $50,000 below what the vendor was seeking 6 months prior - a tremendous outcome given that average prices in the area had acutally appreciated during this period. I suspect Matt's familiarity with the vendors agent and his negotiating acumen greatly assisted in this process.

I have no hesitatation in recommending Matt and his propertybuyer colleagues, Saul and David to anyone interested in securing property as an owner or investor. I shall be seeking Matt's services when the time comes for my wife and I to source investment properties.

Dear Matt, thank you for all of your help and support during the search and purchase of our new home. As you know with three children and my work schedule, Melissa and I are very time poor. Buying the right house for our family was so important to us and your approach and professionalism gave us confidence that we were going to make the right decision.

With selling our previous house first we were also conscious of the tight time frame for us to buy a house and joked with you at first that it would be great if both houses could settle on the same day! To our absolute delight that is exactly what happened. Your structured approach to the search, appraisal and negotiation ensured we got the house we wanted in the right time frame. In addition, you opened our eyes to a property we otherwise would not have looked at and as a result I feel like we achieved a great financial outcome that I am sure will pay dividends when we go to sell in the future.

Thank you again for your help and I would not hesitate in recommending propertybuyer and you personally to my family and friends.

Daren, Chief Executive Officer

We would like to give our sincere appreciation to your hard work and congratulate you on your success in securing such a desirable house at such a great price.

As newly moved to Sydney, we are not familliar with the local market. We searched and tried to find someone to give professional advice. After comparison between two Buyers' Agents, we finally selected propertybuyer as our agent, which is lately proved what a right decision we made.

We understand that Rich Harvey deserved the title 'Top Buyers' Agent' by his efficient feedback, thorough analysis, excellent communication skills and perfect negotiating talent. It must be said that Rich and his team supplied us a long searching list both 'On Market' and 'Silent' listings, to give more options to comply with our wish. This was followed by a tough process to reach a great satisfactory price. Rich, this persistent man did it! He is the man good at challenging impossible tasks.

Finally, we compliment Rich and his excellent team at propertybuyer, would have prosperous business in the future.

Just a few lines of great praise, admiration and of course a million thanks to you and the team at propertybuyer for helping us locate not just a house but the right home just as we wanted. My wife and I have to say that the experience we had was extremely professional and very helpful indeed. You saved us thousands with your negotiation skills and of course worked very hard in helping us occupy the house just at that crucial time prior to our daughter's marriage. To add further, throughout the process you were kind, patient and reliable because you gave us your best attention, time and listened carefully to our specific requirements.Thanks also for connecting us with a reliable mortgage broker and lawyer we could trust as much as your reputed company. The whole process was a marvellous experience and trouble free.

We were originally referred to you by a friend of ours and we have no hesitation at all doing the same for others that are in need of a great house and at a great price. Thanks again very much for all of your help and we definitely look forward in the near future to buying another property for our son with you.

All the very best regards to all at propertybuyer.

We found propertybuyers' attention to detail, continual follow up and extremely pleasant communications a dream to work with. This is a very professional business that knows its stuff and gave me a very happy result.

I have now used the services of propertybuyer twice (Rich & Matt) for the purchase of two investment properties. The first purchase in Queensland in 2005 has proven to be a sound investment and I feel that my most recent purchase in Sydney will also prove to be a sound and solid long term investment.

The guys' knowledge of the market and local contacts mean that I benefit from a huge saving of my time. I would happily recommend propertybuyer to any prospective investors.

Trent Loebel

Although like most people I have a strong interest in property I know my limitations. It's one of the biggest personal transactions my wife and I are likely to complete.
Our thinking was that for a few thousand dollars to get professional help why would we risk making a huge mistake ? Matt and the propertybuyer team gave us confidence to buy a great house at the right price in a timeframe we needed, we also believe that the service paid for itself through Matt's negotiating skills. We have better things to do at weekends than trawl around the open houses that all seem to be showing at the same time.

Matt helped us hone in on what we wanted and made it look easy.

I wanted to let you know how impressed and happy we were with Amanda. She held our hand the entire way, gave us so much of her time and invaluable knowledge so that we are now very comfortable and happy with our decision. She worked around the clock and went to massive lengths to ensure we had every possible chance to get the house we had fallen in love with.

Without Amanda we would not have secured the property, her quick thinking and decision to act as fast had everything signed and confirmed in just 4 days! She guided us towards making a clever offer which I'm positive played a massive factor and another reason why we managed to get this property. The entire company is one to be proud of. It's a company that just makes you want to be part of the impeccable customer service, passion and talent.

As first home buyers, and both busy professionals we just didn't have the time or knowledge to do the vast amounts of research that it would have taken for us to be happy about our decision. Amanda and propertybuyer gave us the comfort that we were making the right decision every step of the way.

Many thanks Amanda, yourself and your team!

It gives me much pleasure to write this reference for Mr Jamie Zimmermann.

As an experienced sales consultant and Principal I can highly recommend Jamie as a great person to have on your side. I first met Jamie during the sale of my own property in Alexandria where I acted on my own behalf. This property was in very high demand with a total of 56 buyers attending my very first open house. Following this I received multiple offers including one from Jamie on behalf of a client.

Jamie's professional approach and natural powers of persuasion positioned his client head and shoulders above other interested buyers. Jamie's cool, calm and collected approach reassured me that his client was a serious buyer. I was so confident in Jamie and his client that I ended up accepting their lower offer over other higher offers.

Jamie not only sources the property for his clients but also gives them the upper hand when it comes to closing and negotiating the final deal. From a selling agents point of view, dealing with such a highly professional buyers' agent was a breath of fresh air and I sincerely look forward to dealing with Jamie again in the future.

Being a first home-buyer I couldn't be happier with my decision to engage propertybuyer, this resulted in a purchase of a quality property meeting all of my criteria at an economical price.Your service was very professional, independent and responsive making the entire experience a pleasure, it was very comforting to know that I had an expert on my side keeping the selling agents honest!

With constantly going to open house inspections and always viewing the internet sites such as Domain and the various real estate reviews, I found that I spent my leisure time in frustration. Nothing seemed suitable. Hence I employed the services of propertybuyer with the agent looking after me, Amanda Segers.

The first meeting with Amanda was the introduction with me explaining what I was looking for and the second meeting was viewing the properties, thereafter Amanda by viewing my reactions helped me to focus and define my wants. At the time of my search there were limited properties available on the market. With her many contacts in the industry, I felt a step ahead of other people especially with the private viewing prior to market. Amanda had a good understanding of what I was looking for and was able to introduce me to a number of possibilities including the one I choose.

I found Amanda always available, punctual and accurate with an excellent understanding of the market and purchasing process. I became very impressed with Amanda and the propertybuyer team.I gained my free time back and got my place, no stress!
