Testimonials

Ants was straight up, relatable, and just spoke like a person and not a car salesman. Continued to answer all questions that were given in a timely manner. He consistently did what ever he could for me which included liaising with external companies at short notice, this included liaising with tradesman to have work done to my property.
This helped so much due to stresses at that time. When we purchased a property he had listed, we wanted him to sell both my partners home and also my home because of our interactions with him.
We would both recommend using Ants and his team to anyone.

Ants was absolutely amazing and easy to deal with. He had a realistic view of our property and what it could achieve on the market. The processes were informative and easy going.

With multiple offers coming in quick we were impressed by the time and effort Ants spent making sure everything went smoothly for all parties. We appreciate the work Ants put in selling our property and getting an outstanding result.

Our experience with Ants and Kat was simply outstanding. They had our property listed, offers presented and unconditional within 2 weeks in what wasn’t a hugely competitive market.

They went above and beyond with their help and support, communication was great and we felt we were in good hands the entire time. Thanks Team Ants for all your efforts and getting this over the line for us.

Kat was who I dealt with the most and she was absolutely fantastic. So patient and helpful as I navigated buying my first home. She told me about next steps and acted as a huge guide throughout the whole process. Ants and Kat answered all my questions regardless of how small or insignificant.

Thank you Ants and Kat for being such huge supports to me throughout the daunting process of buying my first home.
