From our initial meeting Melissa was consistent, professional and authentic.
Throughout the whole process Melissa maintained great communication with me, always contacting me with updates and following up all potential buyers. She was also readily available whenever I attempted to contact her, and always get back to me with impressive promptness. She was committed to getting me the best result possible, and when I did sell I could not have been happier with the price she got for me.
Nothing was ever too hard for Melissa and I could not recommend her more highly.

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
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.

Very pleasant and professional. We were very pleased with Jo''s service and thoughtfulness.

We would definitely recommend Melissa!

Thank you!

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

Her honesty is one of the reasons that helped us to make our buying decision promptly.

''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
We chose Max Brown due to the integrity Hayden and Colin displayed at our initial meeting. We felt Max Brown was a stand out brand compared to others.

I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone that is looking to sell their property.
Merribah Way CRANBOURNE WEST
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!

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.

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
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
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.

And once again Thank You for your kindness.
Jarvis Avenue CROYDON
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
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
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
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
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.

Rolling Hills Road CHIRNSIDE PARK
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!

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
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
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
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.
Yeaman Road MONTROSE
Very professional throughout the sale with prompt feedback and communication. Just keep doing what you are doing.

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.
