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.

Easy and pleasant

We found Hayden easy and pleasant to talk to. As we have never sold before, we found Hayden was always on the ball and kept us in the loop at all times.
Vernon Street CROYDON

Friendly and honest!

Melissa is a very friendly, highly professional real estate agent who would go the extra mile to support your buying needs. During the purchase process, Melissa was very helpful and from the very moment I first contacted her she was professional, timely, understanding and very supportive. Melissa always kept us updated throughout each stage. Her honesty is one of the reasons that helped us to make our buying decision promptly.
Liverpool Road KILSYTH

I would highly recommend Melissa

Melissa was friendly and easy to talk to. Any questions I had, Melissa was always there to answer them for me. She returned calls quickly and always provided feedback after an open for inspection. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone that is selling.
Colchester Road KILSYTH

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

A stand out brand compared to others

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. We were really pleased with the service provided. The brochure and board was so professional and all our interactions were positive.

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

Diligent and understanding

Not an ''easy'' sale due to our love for both our home and where we live and Alan very thoughtfully and diligently guided us through the process and achieved an excellent outcome for us.

A Good Purchase Experience

Our buying experience with Alan Homes was good. We had missed out on a property and Alan introduced us to the property we purchased, as he thought it would suit us.
Eltham-Yarra Glen Road YARRA GLEN

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.

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.

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.

Smooth sale process

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. Copeland Drive, Montrose

Confident and Helpful

We chose Max Brown as when we viewed properties there was Sue with confidence and a helpful nature. Sue has always been positive and reassuring. Thank you to both Sue and Georgia and the whole Max Brown Team we are very happy!
