Mereoni Robbins was great to deal with. We recently bought at auction and found her to be honest, friendly and genuine. She made a stressful process much easier.

From her first phone call to me Brittany Findlay has made the stressful task of moving a much easier experience. Extremely kind, helpful and always easy to get a hold of/quick to respond.

I had the pleasure of working with Mereoni to sell my home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication. Mereoni took the time to understand my needs, provided valuable advice, and was always available to answer my questions.

Agency is about entrusting responsibility and establishing a working relationship. Janine Ballantyne of Nelson Alexander was our choice of agent. She liked our house and encouraged us in preparing our home for presentation. Janine's knowledge of the current play in the local market was invaluable in focusing our expectations for our forthcoming sale. The quality of our campaign was excellent and resulted in good exposure to potential buyers. We listened carefully to Janine's grounded reports after inspections and felt thoroughly prepared on auction day after Auctioneer Tom Robert's briefing that outlined a variety of scenarios for the conduct of our big day. We achieved a solid result from a well contested competition at auction in a tricky market by following Janine's advice. We enjoyed the process and engagement with Janine who worked hard on our behalf to achieve our excellent result.

Patrick Phu and Stephanie Fedelewere great to deal with in purchasing our investment property! Their communication throughout the whole campaign was outstanding ensuring all our questions were answered prior to the auction day. The whole process ran so smoothly, and they worked together in tandem to ensure all our needs were met and that we felt confident in our decision.

Katia is the only person I would trust to rent out my house.
She immediately put us at ease after previous bad experiences with property managers, her knowledge of the market was unsurpassed & the entire time she managed my property we never had an issue I knew she couldn’t resolve.
She was on top of everything, thorough in all aspects & worked quickly to resolve any issue to ensure the best outcome for all parties.
I have since moved interstate & recently sold the property but if I ever invested ANYWHERE in Victoria again she would definitely be my first call.
I wish her nothing but the best for the future and strongly encourage everyone even considering leasing their property to choose her as their property manager.
You won’t regret it!

Had a great experience with Mereoni. She was very easy to deal with and she understood what I was after which is why she offered another property that was available in my price range that I ended buying.

We reached out to Paul Spirli when we were looking for our new home. Right from the start, Paul's direct and honest communication style and enthusiasm for the property market made him a joy to partner with to buy a new home.
After speaking with us and getting a thorough understanding of the type of home we were after, within days Paul showed us through three homes (two of which hadn't yet reached market).
During the negotiations Paul was responsive, direct and honest. We were able to secure the home he showed us within a fortnight.
I could not recommend Paul highly enough.

We chose Matthew Febey to be our agent when we were selling our property, on the recommendation of friends and after having known him for several years
We found Matthew to be professional, reliable and honest
He kept us regularly informed and we valued his considered opinion
Our property sold and exceeded our expectations within ten days of first advertising and before auction which pleased us greatly
We are extremely grateful to Matthew for making what could have been a very stressful time flow smoothly and simply and highly recommend him to anyone considering selling their property in the future

Brittany had been an amazing agent! She was always on top of things! Any question or request she often responded asap. Thank so much for your assistance!

I just purchased a property in Fitzroy and was extremely fortunate to have had Isabelle McEwan-Marion from Nelson guide me through every step of the process. Nothing was too difficult, and her responsiveness and professionalism gave me a sense of ease and comfort from pre-auction to settlement. I can't speak for other Nelson agents - but if you reach out to Isabelle I can say with certainty you are in excellent hands.

Reply from Nelson Alexander
This is the second time Nelson Alexander has sold a property of mine. Once again they exceeded in all expectations, with once again in obtaining a higher sale price over my reserve. This was private sale, not an auction. Janine was my sales agent and honestly I would not hesitate to recommend Janine to sell your next property.

We had a fantastic experience working with Rob. His communication was clear, timely, and consistent throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. He was transparent about every detail, always keeping us informed and answering all our questions. I highly recommend Rob for anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional real estate agent!

INCOMPETENT PROPERTY MANAGER, DO NOT RENT OUT YOUR PROPERTY THROUGH THIS AGENT.
Absolutely no regards for the property, over the period from December 2021 to July 2024, they have only conducted 1 single "routine" rental inspection. Extremely poor communication where it takes multiple emails and phone calls to get a hold of the property manager. For the repair and maintenance requests, I did not receive any invoice or completion photos on the monthly statements which made it very easy to lose traceability.
Absolutely zero organisation skills on basic administrative tasks. One particular instance where the plumber was called out in August 2023 for repair works and the invoice was not paid until July 2024! When the property manager was questioned they had zero idea, no completion photos can be given as back up when requested multiple times.
Be aware that you will have to manage your property manager, you won't get any "service" from this agency.
Got a call from the head of department asking if this review can be removed, pretty pathetic that they rather see a review removed than seek improvement. Shows how much they really care about their "service."

I worked with Yvette and Shona for a recent property, both were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. I would suggest them to anyone looking for places in Melbourne.

I cannot recommend Monique Verga highly enough for anyone looking to sell their home. Monique recently sold my house off-market in 2 weeks, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Monique’s communication was excellent - keeping me informed every step of the way. She was always reliable, calm under pressure, and extremely professional. What impressed me most was Monique's ability to market my home effectively through her network to find a qualified buyer off-market. Thanks Monique!

We recently sold our townhouse in Brunswick with Paul's help, and the entire experience was incredibly positive. From the very beginning, Paul demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. His knowledge of the local market was evident, and he provided us with valuable insights and advice that made the process smooth and stress-free.
Paul was always available to answer our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. His friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy to communicate with him, and he went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident and supported throughout the sale.
Thanks to Paul's hard work and commitment, we achieved a fantastic result. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to sell their property. He truly made what can often be a daunting process into a positive and successful experience.

As a first-time buyer amid the chaotic & anxious housing market, Angus from Nelson Alexander helped to make my experience as stress-free as possible. He was supportive and made himself available for private viewings, and clearly explained any confusing processes. Highly recommended.

Reply from Nelson Alexander
Mereoni informed us of an off-market opportunity and gave us private inspections, helping us buy our first home.

Reply from Nelson Alexander
We found Angus McPherson to be honest, trust worthy and he did not exert any pressure on us to sell at a cheaper price, always allowing us to make any decision we felt happy with. He had an extremely pleasant persona and made us comfortable with all our dealings. The price we achieved was more than our asking price.
