All Sellers Buyers Recommendations
From the first meeting through to settlement, she was friendly, professional, and incredibly supportive. Her calm and confident approach made the entire selling process seamless, and her communication was always clear and reassuring. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more successful sale — highly recommend!
It was a pleasure working with you on our new Scarborough property. Your professionalism, clear communication, and dedication made the process smooth.
We are excited about this addition to our portfolio and appreciate your support. We will remember your offer of future assistance and wish you all the best
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to buy a property. They don’t just get the job done—they make the journey positive and memorable.
I would especially like to express my sincere gratitude to Kerianne Phillips. She went above and beyond, handling complicated details with ease and offering thoughtful advice at every stage. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference.
This is our third property transaction with Lana, and once again, she and Kurt have been absolutely outstanding. We tried another agent this time around and didn’t have much luck, so we went back to Lana and instantly felt the difference. She truly listens, puts in the effort, and genuinely cares about getting the best result for her clients. There are plenty of agents out there, but if you want someone experienced, proactive, and committed to achieving the outcome you want, go with Lana. We couldn’t recommend her and Kurt more highly.
“We found both Lana and her team always respectful, honest and reliable.
They took care with our property when we were not there...
We had numerous agents ring during the sale process, trying to get us
to change agents, we didn’t and are glad we stayed with Lana.” I have no hesitation in recommending her
I have worked with Paul across 3 years purchasing and selling. This time has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Paul’s professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the home-buying/selling process seamless and stress-free. From our very first meeting, he took the time to understand my preferences, answered all my questions with patience, and provided invaluable insights into the market.
What truly sets Paul apart is his commitment to his clients - no phone call or text message too much and no question too silly. He went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely caring real estate professional.
Dealt with Paul a few times now and have had excellent sales result, great communication. Really lovely to deal with. Can highly recommend.
Paul was communicative and easy to contact. Paul conducted himself professionally and demonstrated good knowledge of the property and complex. The overall experience went without a hitch.
As a real estate agent based in Melbourne myself, I’m very impressed with Lana’s ability to strategically position properties in a way that helps vendors achieve the highest possible price. Her negotiation skills are second to none, and she maintains clear, consistent communication with her clients—keeping them well-informed throughout the entire sales process.
Many thanks to Mashelle for an excellent job with the sale of our Gold Coast apartment. She was incredibly helpful with advice, knowledge and understanding of the market. Nothing was too much trouble and she kept us completely informed every step of the way. Can’t recommend her highly enough, she was brilliant…
As first time sellers, our experience with Paul and the Sotheby’s team was exceptional. Paul demonstrated professionalism and empathy, and ensured that he wouldn’t stop until he got us a deal we would be happy with. Safe to say we were ecstatic, and his wealth of knowledge and care for his sellers is unmatched in the market. Whether you are a buyer or seller, I highly recommend Paul because I can guarantee he will always put you first.
Lana once again very professional and achieved an excellent result for both the myself and the buyer.
We highly recommend Lana as your next real estate agent. Lana's experience in the real estate market is exceptional. Lana and her team were personable, helpful, trustworthy and extremely professional and made purchasing our property stress free. We will definitely be seeking Lana's assistance for future property transactions.
Lana’s dedication to the task in hand is exceptional. She is very competent and dedicated and remains calm and relaxed when dealing with decisions, giving expert advice with kindly confidence and reason. Her gentle, friendly manner and casual style of dress belie the competitive business woman she is. She is very thorough and careful with all documents and legal tasks. Kurt is always included and is a gentle, important team member. He is lucky to have such a wonderful mentor. A great team!
Great experience working with Paul. We needed a quick sale and he got it done well within the required time, and for a great price! Easy to stay in contact with and we felt part of the process throughout.
Paul I want to thank you for your efforts in selling our home.
We were initially not willing to invest that amount in the marketing expenditure, however thanks to your counsel we did, and it paid dividends in terms of interest in the home, and ultimate result. You explained you would get that back and much more, and you did.
What you did was above and beyond and for that we are truly grateful.
I first met Paul Pustay at the Gold Coast when I placed a contract on a unit off the plan with the company Paul was working for at the time. Although I didn’t purchase the unit through Paul I turned to him when the developer moved the conditions and I decided to cancel out altogether. My reasoning for asking his advice is that I felt that Paul would tell me exactly the situation whether I liked it or not and I really appreciate an honest person. The rapport I built with him over this ordeal gave me the confidence to engage him to sell our unit at East Brisbane. It was at this stage that Paul introduced me to Tyson Clark from Sothebys in Brisbane. Between them both and their team they emarked on selling our unit. I was really impressed with their professionalism, their presentation and punctuality. Each week I was informed of the progress being made in the process and I was walked through every stage so I was never left wondering. The honesty and professionalism shown was without question and I was very happy with the outcome of the sale. I never questioned why I had chosen Paul and Tyson to head the campaign and would more than happily engage them again if the situation arose.
We have purchased over $6 million of real estate from Paul and he got a record price for our place on the Gold Coast whilst we were on holiday overseas. He sold it in just 2 days for significantly more than we had anticipated.
Paul’s tireless efforts and commitment to getting the best result for us were evident throughout the sale. He navigated every challenge with expertise and determination, always going the extra mile. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Paul again and again to anyone looking to sell their property. His exceptional service made all the difference for us!
We have known Paul for several years, and he has successfully negotiated and transacted four properties for us. His care, attention, creativity, and sheer effort are impressive and very rare amongst agents.
Paul has successfully transacted five properties for us and other members of our family over the years.
His care, attention and negotiating skills on both the buy and sell side in our view is without equal among estate agents.
Annabelle and I only have good feedback for the experience in buying and selling with Paul. Our goal posts shifted pretty quickly and we felt everything was done promptly to match. Paul assisted in negotiating our new home, then promptly sold our place for a terrific price. We were very stressed about getting it sold in 21 days, so to find the right buyer in 9 was great. Absolutely loving the new place and appreciate that we probably don’t even get the contract accepted in the first place without Paul negotiating the deal.
Thanks for all your help and the additional inspections you put on to get it done.
We have known Paul professionally for over 20 years and has conducted multiple transactions for us. Some highly sensitive and complicated to the point very few agents could take on and successfully execute.
He is an outstanding sales and marketing operative……. Probably the best we have ever seen.
Lovely to hear from you Paul and we speak about you often, and would you believe we have been here 5 years now.
We are so grateful you did what you did to sell our home and help us into our new home here in Bardon.
Our young son is doing much better here and he is happy and safe.
Please keep in touch
I have worked with Paul over a number of years. He’s proven to be a high-level performer in the apartment market, with an extensive client and referral base across the country, and in particular Sydney and Melbourne. He has a strong skill set, shows great customer service and is amongst the most accomplished and capable agents I work with.
I am a sophisticated investor based in Sydney and I was referred to Paul some time ago. We have since purchased a $4.5 million holiday home as well as an investment property from Paul.
Paul keeps in touch with us and informs us regularly on how our properties are performing.
We reside in Melbourne and during the Covid lock downs we determined to diversify our property portfolio outside of Victoria.
Our research led us to the Brisbane Gold Coast corridor, and we enlisted the expert assistance of Paul Pustay to identify, negotiate, and manage end to end the purchase of 3 properties. We have since purchased another 2 from Paul.
We have since referred several of our friends and associates here in Melbourne who have done likewise.
I have purchased 4 properties from Paul over the last 3 years, and I can attest first hand to his capability and duty of care. He assisted us in every step of the process and made it seamless. Paul to his credit even gave us assistance in negotiations on an $8,000,000 apartment on the Gold Coast.
Paul cares about his clients and is a highly accomplished real estate operative, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy. I have since referred several of my friends family and colleagues to Paul in the knowledge they will take the very best care of them.
Lana was very professional in handling the sale of the property and kept me informed throughout the process and gave me good advice also. I have no hesitation in recommending Lana to any prospective vendor wanting an honest and hard working agent who works for you,
I met Lana when I was purchasing my place a few years ago at an open house she was holding. While I didn't purchase the place Lana was showing I made a mental note that if I was ever to sell my place Lana would be the first person I called. She is smart, tough, and knows how to get it done. She made the experience super easy and stress-free. I would recommend Lana to anyone who is trying to sell a property.
Lana Faulkner, thank you for your service and support and sometimes patience. You smoothed the wrinkles for us, answering our many questions and requests. No pressure, no hassle, thank you.
Lana is extremely knowledgeable with dealing with buyers and their difficult questions. Always quick on her feet with responses knowing what to say. She has an in-depth understanding of the property market and can get the deal done. It has been fantastic to work with a true veteran of GC property. I can see why Lana is a top performer and I would in-trust her with our next sale. Five star service, thanks for all your hard work Lana.
Constant contact and up to date information was provided at all times
Lana and Kurt delivered beyond our expectations! We had an amazing experience with Lana and Kurt, their team was professional, friendly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They listened to our needs, found us the perfect property, and handled everything efficiently. Highly recommend!
Lana came to us after we unsuccessfully listed with another agent for over three months. When we met, Lana and her team presented many great new ideas and options, which lifted our mood and expectations.
Lana breathed new life into the marketing campaign with her professional and personalised video approach on social media, where her strong, engaging persona added a unique touch. Lana is exceptionally passionate and worked tirelessly with us to achieve our desired outcome within a couple of weeks!
We could not recommend Lana and her team more highly.
Marshelle is a total professional. She knows the market
and strategically placed our property to achieve the best
result ever for our building. Her attention to detail for
timimg and weather events was a key feature in achieving
our result, We were kept up to date for the whole of a very
short sale period. Marshelle was entrusted with our
property and delivered. We couldn't be happier and have
recommended Marshell to our friends.
Mashelle’s local knowledge of the area we chose was outstanding, very professional and knowledgeable, super friendly and she went above and beyond to help us with so much before and after our purchase. Could not have received better assistance.
We couldn’t be happier with the entire process. The level of communication was there, and we really appreciated it during the Christmas period especially. The biggest problem with agents is that they’re not answering their phones and almost working against you most of the time. Lana and Kurt were always responsive via text message or picking up our calls. Thank you!
Kim’s experience enabled him to qualify his buyers needs and then match them perfectly to our property. His knowledge of the local real estate market and his professionalism throughout the transaction was exemplary. For these reasons, I highly recommend Kim to anyone thinking of selling their home or needing help in finding one.
We were extremely happy in dealing with Kim. Kim listened to our needs and focused on what was important to us. The result was the settlement of a property that conformed to our requirements and expectations. Kim is an excellent communicator. He provided updates and reminders in a non-intrusive manner, sufficient to make the whole process as smooth and efficient as possible. Kim was always courteous, honest and diligent. We highly recommend Kim to the most discerning real estate buyers.
We have known Kim for a number of years and this was our third transaction with him. As before, Kim remains professional, always reliable, ethical and calm. Kim always strikes the right balance with both the seller and buyer. He also achieved a sale which was a record for our apartment building! We couldn’t ask for more and have no hesitation in recommending Kim.
We’ve purchased 2 properties through Kim Sharpe in Liberty Apartments in 12 months and have been extremely impressed with his professionalism, his knowledge of this building and others in the area. We’ve found him to be an excellent communicator, reliable and easy to deal with and have had confidence in him throughout.
Kim was a pleasure to deal with and has significant knowledge of Main Beach property. Always on time and very knowledgeable on the property we were purchasing.
Kim was absolutely excellent, having sold a few properties before Kim was by far the best agent that I’ve dealt with. He was constantly in communication, easily dealt with issues and made the whole process completely stressless. Sotheby’s, Kim were very competitive and we would highly recommend them.
We first met Mashelle 2 years ago when she was the selling agent for the home we have now sold. Not only was Mashelle extremely generous with her time but her honesty, and reassuring demeanour gave us such confidence to engage her with our current sale. During this process, she has not only been extremely professional but has helped with all elements of the inspection/sale process. Even putting out cushions and lighting candles. I would highly recommend Mashelle to anyone hoping to find a reliable, honest agent.
I chose Southerbys to sell my home and Ryan was my salesman. He is a well presented gentleman that works 100% for you. He is nothing but professional in every aspect of selling your home. He worked hard to get our asking price and didnt give up until he got the result we agreed on from day 1. He has a fresh new approach to the norm and works with you all the way. I highly recommend you have a chat to Ryan when thinking of selling.
Always helpful and knowledgeable, this is the second Apartment at Main Beach, sold by me through Kim Sharpe over the past 12 years. I have always felt Kim to be utterly trustworthy, and he does his ‘homework’, ascertaining very accurately where the selling price currently stands. I found his advice to be 100% concerning all aspects of my recent sale and nothing seemed any trouble in answering questions or arranging matters. Kim Sharpe’s personal service comes with my 101% recommendation.
I have had excellent results when Kim has sold my properties. Kim is very professional, personable, proactive and provides helpful advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kim and I wouldn’t use any other agent in Main Beach to sell my property.
Kim's professional approach made the entire process very straight-forward from beginning to end. All queries were dealt with very quickly and nothing was a problem. Based on our experience I would not hesitate to recommend Kim to either buyers or sellers.
Kim was a professional through and through and we got the right price in the end!
Mashelle was very professional, very responsive, I felt well informed and was provided with sound advice, and delivered excellent results. I felt well informed from the first open home through till settlement day. Mashelle's knowledge of the local area and putting her personal touches to the presentation of my home. A pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend Mashelle with at times a stressful process but was Mashelle was always approachable and available for all my questions and streamlined the sale. Highly recommended and thank you.
When we bought a property from sellers represented by Mashelle, it was clear to us that we would choose her to sell our property when the time came, and she didn't disappoint. She is so experienced, professional and a fantastic communicator, she kept us updated every step of the way. She definitely went the extra mile on both occasions, so we recommend her to anyone selling a property wholeheartedly.
Kim was incredibly knowledgeable with regards to the area and was very professional. He was a pleasure to deal with and was so helpful with buying our apartment would highly recommend him.
Kim has been fantastic as an agent. Always prompt and answered all my queries. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend anyone wanting to buy a home to talk to Kim.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Kim .. a gem in the real estate business. He was extremely professional with a real calmness about him and nothing was a problem. He did what he said he would do in a timely manner and with a high level of communication. Thank you Kim.
Mashelle was very professional, informative and attentive at all times. She went above and beyond helping us with a private inspection on a public holiday as we were relocating from interstate. Her communication has been excellent and I couldn't fault her. I would highly recommend Mashelle when considering buying or selling as her calm yet professional manner is endearing.
As a first home buyer, I thought the whole process was daunting. Fortunately, I came across Ryan who not only had clear and constant communication with me, he actually cared and looked for the best possible outcome for both parties.
He was very patient and solve all the questions I had. It not only gave me peace of mind but also gave me the confidence that I was dealing with a professional full of integrity.
Thank you for making the whole process a breeze Ryan!
Ryan was a pleasure to deal with from the onset to the end of the sale of our home. He has awesome communication and negotiated the price we wanted. The whole transaction was seamless, with Ryan taking us through each stage of the process. Highly recommended Sales agent.
Ryan had an outstanding knowledge of the industry. He used his vast understanding of the industry to create an amazing experience for us. Ryan continued to display professionalism and incredible customer service throughout the entire process of buying. He followed up all of our questions and continued to support us on our purchase journey. Ryan is easily the best Real Estate Agent we have ever dealt with.
Ryan is an exceptional real estate agent. Went above and beyond any agent we have dealt with. Nothing was to hard or a problem for him to help with handling.
Thank you Ryan
Ryan has an excellent handle on the residential market in Queensland. The appraisal of our property was spot on and we had contracts signed within 4 days of going to market. The experience of selling was made enjoyable and smooth due to Ryan’s attention to detail. Would highly recommend.
We purchased our home through Ryan and it still blows my mind at the level of care this agent has for his clients. Such professionalism, leadership and world class service needs to be talked about, celebrated and recognised.
If you want to deal with an agent who will provide you with a 10 out of 10 service and will guide you through the whole process from the time you make an offer to settlement day, then I recommend you call Ryan for a world class experience.
Ryan was absolutely amazing, he went so far above and beyond for us in selling my home but also with the purchase of our new home. If there was a real estate fairy, Ryan would be it! I will never ever use anyone else but Ryan. Nothing was too much trouble for Ryan, he even fed my cats for me whilst we moved out during the open home period. My house was sold in weeks. He truely is unique, always has a smile on his face. We cannot recommend him highly enough! 5 stars from us
I have known Kim for at least 12 years and in that entire time, I have never known him to be other than exemplary in his undertakings (and I have been on both sides as a seller and a buyer). Kim is genuine in his advice and generous with his time to ensure complete peace of mind. Kim's knowledge of the area of Main Beach is vast, as is his knowledge of property, and he is always willing to provide 'his view of the world' without bias. Kim holds a very calming, measured and warm presence in all aspects of engagement. (can't thank you enough Kim!)
Kim shared his vast knowledge and understanding of the market in a caring and respectful manner, inspiring and maintaining my confidence during my journey. He ensured a potentially very stressful experience was as smooth, efficient and effective as possible.
Kim is what I would term the ‘quiet achiever’. Kim presents himself professionally, always punctual, very knowledgeable of the property, amendable to issues that presented unexpectedly, and he paid attention to details. I can't recommend highly enough Kim and his team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property.
Superb! Kept current with the process as it proceeded, liaised well between Trilogy management and us.
I’ve recently bought 2 properties thru Kim in the Budds Beach area and found him to be very helpful. He knows the market, does his homework and is able to bring buyer and seller together for a no -nonsense outcome. All parties have been very satisfied with the result.
Kim was extremely professional throughout. Excellent knowledge of the market, he responded promptly to all our questions, very helpful in obtaining info from the current owner. After the sale he guided us around the property to familiarize ourselves with protocols, gate entry and use of facilities in the complex.
Kim was very efficient and always responded on time. He was very easy to deal with and had a very pleasant demeanour.
Kim has decades of experience in Realty, particularly Main Beach. His knowledge and manner made the selling of our apartment a breeze.
Mashelle has been brilliant - helpful, transparent, easy to contact, friendly, knowledgeable and constantly going above and beyond our expectations with her level of service - would highly recommend Mashelle
He is a gentleman of the Industry and goes a long way to represent the profession. I now understand why Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty has the boutique listings it has; with Kim on the team.
Kim would always be our first choice agent. He is professional in every way in his approach to real estate matters. His understanding of the market allowed us to make decisions with confidence and our chance of a sale was greatly improved because of his relationship with previous clients in creating his extensive database.
Kim has an impeccable manner with clients. We would highly recommend him to sell your home.
Kim worked professionally to close the deal for the property we purchased and assisted greatly in the transition of property possession between the seller and us prior to the formal sales settlement.
My wife Carol and I always found Kim Sharpe to be extremely pleasant and easy to deal with through the whole sales process. He is very experienced and a true professional selling real-estate.
We recently purchased a property through Kim Sharpe. We found him very polite, professional and diligent in the process. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Kim was always available to meet at our convenience. Kim will be agent of my choice for our next property sale.
I will have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend him to our friends and family.
I have known Kim for over 10 years. He has kept in touch with the family since he originally brokered the purchase of the unit at Main Beach. As such he also understood our intentions and matched us with a buyer recently. The timing was right for us and he executed the sale professionally.
From first meeting Kim we found his knowledge and assistance with our real estate experience invaluable. Being interstate purchasers we found his straightforward and honest advice reassuring. Although we were able to obtain the services of a excellent Queensland lawyer Kim's assistance in going forward to a success purchase proved to be as good as we could have asked for. Kim is prepared to take on the responsibility of doing the final inspection prior to settlement on our behalf, an unnecessary service but highly appreciated by us. Would recommend Kim for anyone looking for personal, honest excellent service.
Kim's market knowledge and professionalism are top class. He had a wide range of possible buyers, and sold our apartment in a very short time, at an excellent price. A true gentleman, he's always available, and thoroughly trustworthy. Kim was extremely helpful in both buying and selling. We have no hesitation in recommending him.
Kim is most knowledgeable of the area of Main Beach. He’s courteous & well presented & keeps you up to date during the whole process of your sale.
Excellent knowledge of our requirements and helpful in our search for our property, highly recommended.
Kim was fantastic to deal with from the very first inspection through to settlement. He made the whole process simple, we felt comfortable and Kim was honest, upfront and very professional! We are ecstatic with his service! A huge thank you to Kim Sharpe and the Sotheby's Real Estate team.
Very helpful, honest and accommodating. We look forward to using him again in the future!
Kim is a very knowledgeable person in the Main Beach area, his thorough understanding of our property was most refreshing, Kim was always available throughout the process and we would certainly recommend his services.
Kim was knowledgeable, personable and a great listener who was able to give sound advice based on his extensive experience of the area, market and clients.
Kim was adept at bringing the buyer and seller together. Professional and efficient, a good outcome was achieved by all parties.
From the outset, Kim demonstrated an intimate knowledge of the market with his appraisal being uncannily accurate. To add, he always behaved with courteous professionalism. I would be more than happy to do business with Kim again.
Very transparent and honest. Great communication and very helpful.
Kim was recommended to us as a credible person with in-depth local Market Knowledge. This proved to be true with his pre-listing valuation to be "on the money". Obviously to achieve the sale he demonstrated good negotiation skills and kept us informed on a viewer-by-viewer basis. Overall we were more than satisfied with his performance and would certainly; a) use him again and b) recommend him to others.
I met Kim in 2006 and found him to be most professional, with a detailed knowledge of local real estate and an impressive aptitude to service. I got to the point where I wanted to buy/sell through Kim. Mum passed away during Covid lockdown with 75% of her siblings interstate. I did not hesitate in introducing Kim to my siblings. He looked after our interests for the following six months while we remotely prepared for the sale. Kim achieved a wonderful outcome in our absence.
We have known Kim for a few years prior to listing our property for sale. His approach to advising us on the sale process and throughout what was a lengthy sale period was always of a very high standard. Kim certainly showed his professional dedication to the task through many open homes and always kept us informed.
Kim Sharpe assisted me to purchase an investment unit after several months of searching at Main Beach. Having a sound knowledge of the area and my requirements meant that Kim was vigilant for the right kind of property. The end result was a property which exceeded my expectations and a very efficient sales process. This was topped off with a special bottle of champagne at handover of the keys - excellent customer service all round and a faultless purchasing experience for me.
I have been involved in selling property a number of times previously and I can unreservedly say that the professionalism, expertise and communication shown by Kim Sharpe far exceeded any other experience. He has an excellent knowledge of the market, has a warm, sincere manner and was very thorough in communicating throughout the whole process. He worked in a very positive way that engendered realistic hope and a great outcome. I am very grateful to Kim for his non-pushy, supportive and considerate manner and the attention to detail that made selling my property a straightforward process.
I am developing two luxury beach front homes at Woorim, an hour north of Brisbane - and needed to sell one off the plan. Woorim is largely an discovered gem - a beautiful 25km stretch of unspoilt white sand and the closest patrolled surf beach to Brisbane, but without the reputation of the Sunshine Coast to the north or Gold Coast to the south. The product that I am producing - 4 level oceanfront homes each boasting 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, 3 separate balconies, multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, private lift and swimming pool - is currently without peer in the idyllic location. And so the mission for Michael Vettoretto, Lynn Malone and the team at Sotheby’s International Realty was this - sell a luxury beach home that does not yet exist, at a price almost $1 million higher than the suburb record, in the middle of the worst health and financial crisis the world has ever seen, and all while interstate and international buyers cannot travel to see it. Impossible? No, possible. Despite listing in June 2020 during the height of the COVID pandemic, Michael remained positive throughout and believed in the product and the pricing. While other agents might have suggested a price reduction to achieve a sale in what was difficult market circumstances, Michael remained steadfast in his view that the property was well priced and represented fair value for the buyer. While the property took a little bit longer to sell, the final result was a sale at full asking price, a new suburb record, and a very happy seller and a very happy buyer. Mission possible.
