ExcellentBased on 88 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.J P2024-07-16Kristy and Alastair are just the best property managers to work with. No fuss, professional, friendly and honest. Their commission is also very reasonable. Couldn’t imagine anyone else managing my property.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.aba0100102024-07-01Our situation was tricky to navigate as we were both buying to upgrade and also sell our existing home. Life-changing decisions around purchasing and selling your home is stressful on its own, so you can imagine how we were overwhelmed to have to undertake both at the same time. We needed an expert on our side that could assist us with both, and with a lot at stake, we wanted to ensure we had the best person working on our side. We interviewed several agents, ensuring each had relevant expertise in the area we were looking and extensive experience in the industry, but nobody else quite fit as easily as Kristy. Working with her was seamless from the start and she made us comfortable in every step of the way. On the buying side, she took note of our personal situation and what we were looking for in our new home. She was considerate, and not forceful, when providing advice and showed patience, understanding but remaining clear-headed when we were at times uncertain about what to do. On the selling side, we were able to leverage her relationships in the industry ensuring we had the best agent working on the sale of our existing home. The result was something like pulling a rabbit out of a hat and everything lined up perfectly in the end. The home we bought was something that we had already given up on as the advertised price was initially above our budget. My wife and I were unaware that it had passed in at auction so were already looking elsewhere, but little did we know that Kristy had kept in touch with the selling agent to jockey us into the best position for the subsequent purchase. Also being aware that we needed to sell our existing home, she was able to secure a 120-day settlement, allowing us to comfortably prepare our home for sale. She helped us appoint a selling agent who executed really well, and provided her advice before and during the campaign to make sure we got the best result in the end. Kristy, you helped us achieve what we had thought was next to impossible. Thank you so much for your help.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jo N2024-06-07As a first homebuyer I’d come disappointingly close at auction several times before I met Alastair. Finding a property and taking it to Alastair for a research & negotiation package helped get me over the line. Alastair was generous in sharing his knowledge & it helped give me confidence in my property selection. Alastair’s experience at a competitive auction was alsi appreciated. Thanks AlastairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Roger Mansfield2024-05-13Kristy was thorough and diligent as our buyers agent. She knows all the tricks. The whole process moved smoothly and we are very happy with the result.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Michael2024-05-10Alastair and Kristy were fantastic at helping us buy our first home! They were highly knowledgeable and had relationships with all the agents in the areas we were looking. They came to inspections with us and took the hassle out of organising building inspections and contract reviews. When we found a property that suited, Alastair had some great strategies that got us across the line! Thanks so much Alastair and Kristy! We’re very happy in our new house 😃Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Yash Doshi2024-05-09We are so grateful for Alastair's guidance and support throughout out first-home purchase journey! We ended up with our dream home and this would not have been possible without Alastair's support. His knowledge about the purchasing process, trends and just general know-how of properties and locations was super helpful. His value as a sounding board on all our silly questions is something we are very grateful for and would highly recommend TPB's services for anyone starting to think about property purchases.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kanika Shah2024-05-06We are so grateful for Alastair's service.

He truly guided us, ensuring we found the perfect homeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ammu Nandi2024-05-06Alastair and Kristy were so helpful in both helping us with buying our first home, and managing our property to rent out. It was such a great experience working with them - we really enjoyed how relaxed and friendly they are whilst still being professional and thorough in everything that they do. Being quite novice ourselves, we appreciated all their advice and knowledge and also the extensive network of contacts they have - it was just a stress free, smooth process from start to finish and meant that we could relax knowing they would handle all the tough parts! Thanks Alastair and Kristy :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.VIDA WALLACE2024-03-07Kristy and Alastair were very professional but extremely down to earth . As we were from the country their knowledge of the city housing market was invaluable to us. Their speed of getting things done blew us away, we really felt they were on our side and genuinely interested in our needs. We would have been lost in the hustle and bustle of the city housing market without them. They definitely helped to keep our stress levels down and got us a perfect property. We would recommend their service to anyone looking to buy a property.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dani Larkin2024-03-07Alastair and Kristy are amazing!! Their knowledge, experience and connections really did take most of the stress out of navigating the property market. We definitely wouldn’t have achieved the same outcome buying a new home on our own - would recommend them to anyone and I’m sure we’ll be working with them again in the future.

Kristy is fantastic. Very professional and full of practical advice – she got to know us and was able to point us in the right direction to a property that would suit our investment needs. Very experienced and knowledgeable about property in Melbourne. Would definitely recommend her to our friends!
Alastair and The Property Bureau made buying our first home a breeze. With a baby on the way we had enough things to worry about, Alastair was extremely knowledgeable about the property market and was also able to source off market listings for us.
It was an incredible experience having the team working for us during our first home-buying journey. Kristy’s knowledge, passion and expertise made the process so seamless. Using Kristy to bid on our behalf was the best decision using her experience to secure the winning bid!
