What people are saying about us.

Positive and Professional

Alan was on point from our first meeting. His knowledge of the area,market and what was required to achieve a good result was
very reassuring. Alan''s followup and communication was professional and always kept me engaged in the process. Although
unsure about some of the changes required initially Alan''s enthusiasm and experience gave me confidence to go all out with his
suggestions and the eventual outcome proved it to be the correct decision. Alan is a highly motivated and client focused agent.
Seller - Lilydale

Sold our house in just over a week!

Very happy with Alan. Sold our house in just over a week and we got a much higher price than other agents quoted. Alan is extremely professional, and I cannot rate him highly enough. I would definitely recommend him to others and would have no hesitation using him again to sell my home.

Exeter Road CROYDON NORTH

If you''re thinking of selling, we highly recommend Alan

I don’t write reviews or letters to the editor, but I just want others to have a great experience like us!
Alan from Max Brown sold our family home in the Gateway Estate within hours of our first meeting!

Initially we spoke to a number of agents and I thought Alan was just a salesman selling a story but everything he promised he delivered and on time. He assisted us through the entire process from styling
tips to trade contacts and even helped us position furniture!

He highlighted all the positives in our house and suggested specific areas that could be improved to ensure the best price. If it wasn’t Alan it was Ruth who made contact and followed up so we always knew what to expect and how long inspections would take, it was like we were their priority.

After three private inspections our house was sold for the price Alan suggested initially and for the terms that suited us.
If you''re thinking of selling, we highly recommend Max Brown’s Alan Holmes.
Thank you Alan!

From the Mitchell family.

I appreciated working with you

I would like to thank you very much for your professional advice and guidance in preparing the property for the market. You surely have an eye for quality and appearance, you take a lot of care looking after the vendor which also means the purchaser is looked after. I appreciated working with you and both parties ended up with an exceptional result. Max Brown will certainly be recommended. Once again, thank you.
Chester Street LILYDALE

We can’t recommend Kristie highly enough

Jo exceeded our expectations, she perfectly understood our needs and nurtured us through the entire process, whilst maintaining the utmost professionalism.
Warrandyte Road RINGWOOD NORTH

Highly recommend Craig

Craig Hamilton has provided practical and effective service to me concerning the sale of a commercial property in Yarrawonga. He provided an excellent mix of local knowledge and the objectivity you would hope for from someone separate from that community. He has drawn on external and local connections to achieve a good price and timely outcome for me as his client. Craig was always available and happy to impart advice on all aspects of the commercial arrangements and the intersection of that with the sale process. His knowledge of commercial real estate is not limited to the sale process. Finally Craig has a good manner. He is calm and reassuring, has an approachable manner which was very helpful in resolving misunderstandings between various stakeholders in what was a complex process. He has an amazing capacity to remain collected in pressure situations and demonstrated on numerous occasions he is a person of integrity. I would therefore be happy to recommend Craig as sales agent for commercial property and indeed any real estate.
Belmore Street YARRAWONGA

Exceeded my expectations

I met Alan at another property and was impressed by his manner and professionalism. My internet research confirmed that he had an excellent knowledge of the area and great reviews.

Very happy

Jo was down to earth and honest. Great service and communication. Very happy with the outcome.
Carlyle Street CROYDON

Jo is a sensation when it comes to real estate.

From the beginning, Jo was enthusiastic, positive and honest about the property I was about to buy from her. 10 years later, I hunted Jo down as I felt she was the only person I would trust with the sale of this same property. We talked and worked on a timeline as the market had been depreciating and we needed to maximise the potential that my home had to offer. Jo suggested the expertise of a home decorator and it worked! We discussed the pro''s and con''s of various sales strategies and I was never under any pressure to commit to anything I didn''t feel 100% comfortable with. My recommendation is to talk with Jo, whether buying or selling she has your best interests at heart. Jo is a sensation when it comes to real estate. I highly recommend Jo and her team!
Scott Street MITCHAM

Trustworthy and reliable!

I''m so glad we chose Alan Holmes (and his assistant Ruth Stafford) to list our Lilydale home. We were nervous firsttime vendors living 2+ hours away from the property we were selling, so we needed someone trustworthy and reliable who would get the job done with minimum fuss. Alan and Ruth did exactly that! Not only did they make the process of preparing our house for sale painless and stressfree, but they achieved an incredible result that was beyond our expectations – in just over a week! Alan is professional, confident and knowledgeable, and his negotiation skills just blew us away. To top it off, both Alan and Ruth are lovely, genuine people who really care about their clients and go out of their way to help them achieve their dreams. I can''t thank them enough.
The Portal LILYDALE

Overjoyed with every aspect

''Service'' exceeded my expectations. With Jo''s knowledge of the market and expertise from experience, we worked together with a plan over the months to make my home hit the market like dynamite! And it did! I was overjoyed with every aspect of the (what can be a very daunting time) service from Jo Parker. From preliminary meetings and discussion, advertising and professional photos, layout, presentation and keeping up a constant stream of communication through the whole process I had the most positive experience.
Scott Street MITCHAM

Extremely helpful

Excellent knowledge of the local market. Extremely helpful and available to answer questions. Very professional.
Charles Street MOOROOLBARK

Polite, respectful, and most conscientious

Our dealings with Janine Taylor and Max Brown Real Estate have been most pleasurable. She has been polite, respectful, and most conscientious. She has gone out of her way to make sure that we have achieved the best possible result in the sale of our house. We have used Janine before as our real estate agent of choice for the sale of a previous property and we are going to use her again as the need may arise. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone that is looking to sell their property.
Merribah Way CRANBOURNE WEST

Cannot recommend enough!

I cannot recommend Janine Taylor of Max Brown Croydon highly enough. I was impressed very early on with the knowledge and information Janine provided me in how the process of selling moving forward would go. Janine knows the Croydon / Ringwood areas very well and kept me up to date with all matters regarding my sale along the way. Janine is very professional in her approach to her work and I highly recommend her services if either selling or looking to purchase. She got me a fantastic result!
Alfrick Road CROYDON

Great Knowledge of the Area

Great Knowledge of the Area We built through Alan Holmes at Max Brown Real Estate Group and the experience was good. Alan has a great knowledge of the area and the entire estate. Alan was always available to answer questions and give his honest opinion. Most importantly our sale price was achieved before even going to market. Alan and Ruth were always very helpful and prompt with how they worked. We would highly recommend Alan when selling a home, particularly in the Gateway Estate. His honest and professional approach makes it very comfortable and easy to work with him.

Always went above and beyond

Wendy and the team at Max Brown Property Management have been fantastic. They helped us out straight away whenever we needed it and they always went above and beyond! Renting through them has been a great experience thanks!
Tash- Tenant

Proactive, polite and honest

I want to thank you for the process involved over the past while. I have appreciated your proactivity in getting things done for me. When this commotion started with my tenant, you quickly kept me informed of nonpayments and with Wendy you took a course of action which has proven productive. You kept me updated at each turn until the eviction occurred. Sarah, I also appreciate the way you got on to advertise my property so quickly last weekend. This allowed you to get the new tenants. You also rearranged your time schedule so that a condition report was done on Thursday which meant the new tenants could move in on Friday. Add to this the organisation of getting My Connect to call me to arrange power for the week, taking updated photos of the unit and putting those on the web, being available on the phone to listen to me call you daily with questions or queries (I hope to stop now) and just being polite and honest with me. Thanks again so much to both you and Wendy for taking the time to achieve such a positive outcome.
Richard- Landlord

Less Stressful

I am writing to thank you ever so much for making my sale of my property as less stressful as possible. And once again Thank You for your kindness.
Jarvis Avenue CROYDON

Direct Agents

Melissa and Janine were the most direct out of four real estate agents we spoke to. Their communication with us was very important especially with the rules constantly changing. All other agents tried to sell their own expertise first ie “how good they are” but Melissa and Janine just explained the market.
Summer Hill Park Road MOOROOLBARK

Highly Recommended

My experience of selling my property with Max Brown and Melissa as my agent has been very positive. My property was operating as a medical practice and so was a commercial rather than residential property. Melissa met with me a number of times before we put the property on the market to discuss expectations and the best approach to selling. She was in regular contact before and during the marketing campaign and just before the auction. We achieved a price well above my expectations and i felt well supported throughout the campaign. I would highly recommend Melissa and will definitely use her again when I sell my home in the future.
Charles Street MOOROOLBARK

Excellent Service

We are very pleased with Melissa’s service. She was never “pushy” and has excellent knowledge of the Real Estate industry. She promptly answered our texts and phone calls and made herself readily available to us whenever required. Thanks Melissa.
Billanook Way CHIRNSIDE PARK

Sensational agent!

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Melissa twice in the past 18 months for the sale of two properties. Melissa provided exceptional service and communication throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, and far exceeded my expectations. She has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend her as an agent.
Billanook Way CHIRNSIDE PARK

Thank you!

Just would like to say thank you for your assistance throughout the process. Selling a home can be a difficult process, especially when it is your first time. Melissa was excellent with her communication and regular updates which I appreciated and had different suggestions to help with selling the property.

Rolling Hills Road CHIRNSIDE PARK

Professional and Empathetic

Professional and Empathetic Just wanted to say how thrilled we were with Melissa Van Der Linden. In December she sold my mum’s home of 49 years. Throughout the sale period Melissa was professional, empathetic and went above and beyond to help my mum through the process. My mum’s home was out of Melissa’s area, Noble Park, but the research she did prior to mum''s house going onto the market was fantastic. Thank you Melissa from the bottom of our hearts you are amazing at what you do!

Relaxed Approach

I chose Max Brown Real Estate Group from two other agents, principally because of Jo Parker’s relaxed, nopressure, down to earth approach. I was impressed with the regular feedback during the leadup to the auction. I would like to thank the Max Brown Real Estate Group for their professionalism in making the sale of my property such as satisfying and enjoyable event.
Dublin Road RINGWOOD EAST

Professional with Integrity

I am so glad I chose Jo Parker as my sales agent, as she made the process of selling my less than perfect house (although in a fantastic location) simple, relaxed, and even fun! With her quarter century worth of real estate sales experience, her love for the local area, her highly developed people skills and importantly to me her honesty and warm, caring attitude. I was confident that she would try to achieve the best possible outcome for me whilst being fair to each potential buyer. I would definitely recommend Jo 100% to any potential home seller.

Belvoir Court KILSYTH

Genuine professional agent

Jo Parker was recommended to us prior to our house being ready for sale. We signed with Jo the first day we met her because we felt her and Melissa had a very good understanding of what our home had to offer and appreciated how we wanted to present it for sale. From that day on she was beside us everyday throughout the whole sale process. There was never any pressure to move more quickly. The whole process was handled in a very professional way but also we were made to feel very special in the way Jo and Melissa cared about our feelings all the time. Thank you Jo you''re the best!

Deb at the Croydon office has managed my property in Kilsyth for the last 3 years. Could not have been happier with her professionalism over that time. Would definitely recommend Max Brown to anyone looking for a property manager.
Leigh- Landlord

First class service

We would like to express our appreciation to you personally for your handling of the sale of Mum’s house. Whilst it will always depend on the right buyer being out there at the right time (which happily seems to have happened in this case) we want to acknowledge your own first class service. Our observation of how you conducted an open for inspection elsewhere was a big tick at the outset. We appreciated your honest appraisal of where the current market sat, which we are sure contributed to us achieving the best result possible. Your professional advice on marketing revealed itself to be astute too. We are delighted with the end result. It has added to our esteem for Max Brown who had previously served us well in past real estate dealings with our family.

The process has been very smooth and they are fantastic to deal with. We couldn’t imagine a much better service; we have had a good experience.
Foulds Court MONTROSE

The sale was fast and process open.

Max Brown Real Estate are high profile real estate agents in Montrose. We had previously had contact with Sue Jackson when purchasing in Montrose. The service we received more than met our expectations. Sue Jackson gave us confidence in the way the house was marketed and her regular contact with us to update us, gave us no reason to regret our choice. The sale was fast and process open. We were totally happy with the whole process and would have done nothing differently. We would recommend Max Brown and in particular Sue Jackson to friends in the area wishing to sell.
