5 Star Service

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.

Buyer - Hope Island
 
Professional and Dedicated

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.

Tara - Buyer & Seller

Paul is the Rock Star of Realtors

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.

Tony and Joe Cassidy - Seller & Buyer
 
5 Star Service Everytime

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.

Todd - Buyer
 
Paul Cares About His Clients

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.

Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish

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!

Buyer - Richard Zhang
 
Appreciative

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!

Frederick - Buyer
 
FOCUSED ON WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO US

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.

We highly recommend Kim to the most discerning real estate buyers.

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.

Karen, Buyer
 
Clear and constant communication

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!

Southport Buyer
 
Professionalism, leadership and world class service

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.

Hope Island Buyer
 
GREAT AGENT

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.

LINDA H (BUYER)
 
KIM SHARPE IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL PROFESSIONAL

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.

DESPINA V (BUYER)
 
VERY PROFESSIONAL

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.

PETER C (BUYER)
 
EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARKET

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 HAS BEEN PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY FROM DAY ONE

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.

GRAYDEN J (BUYER)
 
PROFESSIONAL AND ASSISTED GREATLY IN THE TRANSITION OF THE PROPERTY

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.

CYNTHIA R (VILLA BUYER)
 
OUR AGENT OF CHOICE

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.

STEVE & FARNACK T (BUYERS)
 
PAUL W (SELLER)

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 & YVONNE M (BUYERS)
 
PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL

JASON M (BUYER) - May 2026
 
A FAULTLESS PURCHASING EXPERIENCE

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.

DORIS Z (BUYER)
 
Her willingness to help was second to none.

Mashelle is a great Agent. Her willingness to help me throughout the pre-purchase and the after sale process was second to none. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Mr Gorringe, Buyer
 
She is an agent I would have little difficulty in recommending.

Mashelle was the vendors agent for the property I recently purchased at Main Beach. It was a long settlement with a reasonable amount of "Vendors Works" to be completed prior to settlement.

Mashelle was always available, on top of the relevant issues and a pleasure to work with.Post sale she went above and beyond what would normally be expected.

She is an agent I would have little difficulty in recommending.

Mr Roberts, Buyer
 
Professional, knowledgeable hard working with a personal touch

My experience in dealing with Mashelle is prominently her trustworthiness and enthusiasm. "I am high maintenance" and yet Mashelle met my expectations both as my agent in selling and my agent in buying property. Her knowledge of the property market in the GC is bar none so my dependency on her was quite fierce. Mashelle always returned my calls and followed through with my inquiries and there were many.

Her personal touch was also captivating.

I would not hesitate to contact her again.

Thankyou for Mashelle.

Enza - Buyer
 
A trusted Partner

We had never really been to S.E. Queensland and were proposing to make one of the biggest changes of our lives. Whilst we had researched online from a distance, when we did finally have the chance to visit the Gold Coast, Mashelle made us feel right at home and was able to share her local knowledge and insights in a very relaxed and comfortable way. Mashelle was gracious, courteous and quite seriously, could not be more willing to help us in any way. Nothing was too much trouble.

Since actually settling and arriving in S.E. Queensland, Mashelle went above and beyond any expectations - doing everything she could to help us manage through 14 days of forced self-quarantine, including dropping off very much appreciated food supplies for a special occasion.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mashelle as the only agent worth considering to any vendor or buyer.

Peter & Patrice Brady - Buyers
 
Very Professional and Accommodating , great knowledge of the Market as it stands

Kim was very accommodating with times to inspect the Property , nothing was a problem which worked well when you have a busy schedule and out of hours was our only time to view the property and Kim made himself available ! we made an offer and Kim notified us within hours that it had been accepted !

Can't ask for a better Agent than that !!!!

Jeff W (Buyer)
 
A Class Act

We recently purchased a property where Kim was agent for the vendor.

Having dealt with many estate agents over the years, Kim stands out for a number of reasons. He instills confidence and is an absolute professional. He knows his stuff , especially the market in Main Beach. He is thorough , patient and importantly , he is not pushy. If he doesn't know the answer to a question , he will get an answer for you. He meets his commitments and is calm at all times.

We would have no hesitation in using Kim for any property transaction and highly recommend him.

Bruce & David (Buyers)

Thoroughly professional

Kim is an excellent listener and understood what I was looking for as a buyer. He found me the ideal apartment and it was not even on the market! He was polite, accessible and fair in the way he dealt with the buyer and seller. I have no hesitation in recommending Kim.

Richard A (Buyer)
 
The ultimate Senior Sales Associate

Having recently purchased a property from one of Kim's listings, I found him to be very personably, a great listener and more than happy to seek answers to my specific questions when not known. Most importantly he sought the answers promptly which made my decision to purchase easy. I would have no hesitation in using Kim again or recommending his services.

Mitchell H (Buyer)
 
A 5 star experience from beginning to end

From the first contact via e-mail to the hand over of the keys to our apartment, Kim was highly professional, acted with integrity and could not have been more helpful. We were completely satisfied with all aspects of the purchase. An absolute pleasure to work with him.

Kerry & David R (Buyers)
 
Lovely to deal with

We have been very pleased with Kim's help with helping us find a unit. He knew exactly what we where after and directed us to the perfect place to where we have purchased. Great to deal with and Roxy his PA lady is very pleasant to deal with as well. We would highly recommend to anyone looking around the Main Beach area.

Robyn & Ray G (Buyers)
 
Kim was all we could have wanted, and more.

In the lengthy process of searching before finally purchasing, Kim proved to be extremely helpful, frank and congenial. His willingness to delay an evening social event to ensure a smooth handover of keys when weather prevented our scheduled arrival was greatly appreciated, and I would happily recommend his services.

Tony L (Buyer)
 
So easy to deal with!

Over the years I have sold and purchased many properties in Victoria and the Gold Coast. However I must say that my latest purchase of a unit in Main Beach was made so much easier by the agent Kim Sharpe. He conducted himself in a very calm and professional manner at all times and I never felt I was being hounded by a agent...His knowledge of the area and the properties for sale was fantastic. He opened the unit up several times before and after the purchase so that I could measure etc and even allowed us to see the unit at night. It was a pleasure dealing with Kim and I certainly recommend him as your next agent.

Brian F (Buyer)
 
Agents as they should be

I was fortunate to find Kim Sharpe when I started to look for somewhere in the Main Beach area. Kim is a consummate professional - he listens, provides options and doesn't try to sell you anything. Because of this I was able to find exactly what I was looking for quite quickly.

Kim then negotiated a sale which was good for the vendor as well as for me without any hassle. He continued to assist me during the contract period and beyond and was instrumental in making this purchase a successful transition - I recommend Kim without hesitation!

Bill A (Buyer)
 
Purchase of 5/57 Woodroffe avenue

We meet Kim on first inspection of the property we were very impressed with his professionalism which contributed to our decision to purchase. It is a refreshing change to deal with a person of integrity and manners at the same time not feeling pressured. If we make another purchase in this area we will only deal with Kim due to our recent experience

Vickie S (Buyer)
 
Professional, Responsive, Credible

Annie M (Buyer)
 
What a delight! Mashelle is in a league of her own

I rarely fill out surveys and feedback forms but i'll make an exception for Mashelle. We bought our apartment through Mashelle late last year and she was delightful to deal with. Very warm, knowledgeable, thoughtful and above all, truthful and realistic (can't say the same about some of the other agents we dealt with before...)

We have no hesitation in recommending Mashelle!

Greg & Pedro - Buyers
 
Such a professional but also a very personal touch

I am writing to you regarding the purchase of our new home with Carol Carter. Even though our settlement was back in January this year, I have been meaning to write to you regarding how professional Carol was in assisting us to find the right property for our situation. Originally we sold our home which was large, many stairs and becoming difficult for me to look after as my husband had suffered a stroke towards the end of 2016 and as a result is partially blind. So after contacting Carol she suggested that we might like to consider Royal Pines at Benowa. We looked at several properties at Royal Pines in different areas and eventually settled on where we now reside. Carol was extremely professional in her negotiations for us, every part of the deal went smoothly, there was no stress as we felt confident every step during the entire process. We moved into our new one level villa, my husband and I are extremely happy. I now am having golf lessons which is a first for me and allows me some time to be out and about in a very secure safe environment which was not possible before. During the few days after moving into our new home Carol personally delivered and presented us with a very nice gift of Champagne and a leather wine carrier, both were beautifully wrapped with a very kind hand written note. Such a professional but also a very personal touch. I will certainly be recommending Carol to anyone wanting to buy or sell property, she has a wonderful understanding of the current market and puts a lot of effort into searching for the correct property which could be suitable to purchase according to ones needs.

D Nutt - Buyer
 

My wife and I have known Carol for approximately 9 years and during this time we have dealt with her first acting for the seller of a property that we purchased and then 9 years later as our agent when we sold the same property - testimony to the high regard which both myself and my wife have for Carol.

On every occasion, Carol has been the consummate professional and brings a maturity of approach that is rarely found, but much needed, in the property industry. She takes the time to properly and appropriately market a property and understand the needs and wishes of both the buyer and the seller - it is this ingredient that is at the heart of her success.

Both myself and my wife have no hesitation in recommending Carol and the Sotheby’s team for all of your real estate needs.

Craig - Buyer and Seller
 
Great friendly sincere agent

We would recommend Mashelle Jones to anyone wishing to buy or sell property. She has put our faith back into real estate agents after having a horrible experience with another agent. Our wish for Marshelle is that she achieves everything she wishes to accomplish in her pursuits. Best of luck in the future.
