PROFESSIONALISM & HONESTY

Brad stood out the day he came to give me an appraisal of my property. It was clear just talking to him that he was just an honest person and someone I felt I could trust with the sale of my home. It’s no little thing placing the sale of your home into the hands of someone so it was important I got the right person. And my gut instinct was right. My experience of the whole process from appraisal to being sold was seamless. I was informed every step of the way. I was listened to and all my questions were answered with attention to detail. Thank you Brad it means much that I found you as I took this big step in my life of selling up and moving into new beginnings. Read More

Brad displayed a high level of professionalism from the very first time we met him. He was never pushy in the sales process, and answered all the questions we had regarding the property.

FIRST PURCHASE

I purchased a property through Brad at Abode Peninsula. Brad was very responsive to my questions and advised me of changes that were occurring to the s32 as soon as he became aware of them so I could advise my solicitor (and save money on my solicitor re-reviewing the s32). It was my first purchase of a property, and Brad was very helpful guiding me through the process and set expectations. I’m now continuing to rent the property out through Abode Peninsula. Read More

QUICK & EASY

We were overseas when we put our home on the market. Brad took the time to work with our tenants and ensure the property was in an immaculate condition for each inspection. Brad liased with us frequently to make us aware of potential buyers and capitalised on opportunities when they presented. In a very uncertain market Brad negotiated a sale quickly and without drama. I will be contacting Brad to sell our next property. Read More

Very happy with the service Brad provided. Felt he was honest and genuine throughout the process.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Big thanks to Tina from Abode Mt Martha for going above and beyond in making our move hassle free. Moving with a toddler and a baby is hard enough but she made it more bearable with her quick response and professionalism. She even dropped off a package that was mistakenly delivered to the place we had been renting.
