Check before booking
- No commission or marketing fee is published; the site says fees are explained in writing before you sign.
- Its FAQ says every Melbourne broker holds the licence needed in Victoria, but the register lists several named Melbourne brokers as agent's representatives working under the company licence.
- The client reviews section on the Melbourne page showed placeholder text when we checked, so rely on Google reviews instead.
- Head office and the founder are on the Gold Coast, and some named specialists cover several states.
- Not verified: Commission, marketing and valuation fees, 5,000+ transactions claim, Number of Melbourne sales, AIBB membership of every Melbourne broker, Victorian registration of two brokers named on the Melbourne page (Andrew Yoannidis and Sadish Visvalingam), whom we could not find on the register by name.
