Purchased $60,000 below valuation!
Saved more than $40,000 all-up using my service.
I used your rental service in the past and was pleased. Melissa does what she says: finds suitable properties that meet your expectations, gives meaningful advice, handles the communications with third parties and achieves results. I spent half a day viewing apartments, and ten days later I exchanged contracts with my first choice, for a very reasonable price. I could not have done this within my time and budget without Melissa. The outcome was as promised: quick, easy to follow, all in one, and I got an excellent price on the apartment. I have already talked about the service with others!
Jonathan purchased $60,000 under the licensed property valuation for this property. When factoring in my fee, he saved almost $40,000 all-up. Many clients consider the cost of a buyer’s agent, but few consider what they save.
Jonathan purchased only 10 days after half-a-day of property inspections that had been carefully selected and matched to his needs. His search was completely taken care of for him. He was presented with 10 suitable homes of which 4 were inspected. I coordinated all due diligence and property research ensuring that all processes would align to achieve an effective and timely result.

We engaged Melissa to work on our behalf as we considered it too daunting to buy a property in a city we did not live in by ourselves. Melissa was very helpful in finalizing our brief and she undertook all the hard slog of research and inspections until she was able to present us with a shortlist of 4 properties to inspect ourselves. She undertook the negotiations on our behalf and also offered a selection of conveyancers and strata reporting companies to help us choose who to work with. The whole process was relatively quick and remarkably painless, and we could not be more happy with our decision to use Melissa's services for our property search and purchase.

We weren’t confident with the negotiating process or the general intricacies of purchasing a property. Melissa took the stress out of the process entirely, and made us confident in our choice and the price we paid. The frequent communication and advice were invaluable. Thank you again for making this so painless and easy for us! We felt informed at all times, you were approachable and easy to work with, and the service we received + the outcome were well worth the money. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone purchasing a property. She guided us through the transaction from start to end, managed communications and negotiations with the selling agent, and helped us establish our property's value so we didn't get carried away and overpay. She took the stress out of the whole process, and kept us informed at every step, so that all that was left for us was to get excited about our new home!

I hired Melissa because I was looking to enter the property market and had very little idea where to start. She worked with me to define exactly what I was looking for, and I think that was an invaluable part of the process. She communicated with me at every stage and helped me understand what was out there in the market. When I settled on a property she got me an amazing price I know I couldn’t have got by myself - I definitely got value for money with the service!

I needed support to purchase a home. After trying to purchase a home myself, I realized I needed advice and guidance from an expert to feel confident I was making the right choice.
The service was highly personal and customer focused. Melissa spent time with me to understand my requirements and provided prompt (and patient) advice in response to my million questions. Melissa is very knowledgeable and I'm thankful the tactful advice I received to broaden my search parameters has resulted in a property that exceeds my expectations. I appreciate that Melissa took time to explain things to me, surface issues and provide expertise in terms of her extensive experience in the sector. I truly believe I could not have purchased my home without Melissa's support and guidance.
I have already recommended the service to my friends and family considering purchasing a property. The service provides advice and guidance drawn from expertise and experience. This helped me feel confident that I was making a good decision. The service also provides value for money - my weekends were returned to me as I wasn't attending inspections for properties that weren't right, I wasn't purchasing strata reports for properties that weren't right, and importantly, during the negotiation phase of my home purchase, Melissa's guidance saved me a considerable amount of money. I'm very happy with the service and glad I made the decision to use the service.
Thank you, Melissa! I'm so happy with the service and I love my home. Thank you!

This a totally unsolicited few paragraphs from a very happy client of Melissa Maimann.
I needed to find a home fairly fast and I had certain specific requirements such as lift access, a sensible price and in the Inner-West. Melissa organised everything for me from inspecting places for me, writing fabulous reports and sending great photographs. She kept in touch every day and sometimes a few times a day. She made excellent suggestions and got me thinking out of the box at times which was fantastic.
Her client service delivery and positive attitude was perfect. I have secured a lovely apartment of the right size, price and location in record time. I think that this might be the best customer service I have ever had and I am no Spring chicken!!!!
The reasonable fee was totally worth it. I would unreservedly recommend Melissa and her amazing service.

Duncan
Purchased $35,000 below valuation!
I didn't know the market, I was time poor, I don't trust my own judgement and I don't trust vendor's agents. I had some very particular requirements for my new home. My reasons for needing to find a new home were based on a good deal of emotion and I was by myself. Melissa was there, at all times, to solve the requirements, keep me grounded, and guide me through every stage of the process. Engaging Melissa to exchanging contracts was exactly four weeks and the home we found fitted those requirements perfectly.
Melissa took a lot of the stress out of the process. Her property reports were very comprehensive, yet easy to read and understand. I was always kept informed of updates and developments throughout the search and negotiation. I had confidence throughout.
Susie Newham
I was time poor, uncertain about how the online application process worked as it had been a long time since I last needed to apply for an apartment and I needed an expert to help.
I found Melissa’s site online and read the testimonials, and after a short phone call with Melisa, I was convinced that she would be able to find me a great apartment.
I would use Melissa’s service again in the future and would recommend her service to other people who are looking to find a home.
What I liked the most about Melissa’s service was her positivity, the depth of the reports, Melissa's responsiveness and her unflappable demeanour.
The property reports and background checks Melissa undertook were invaluable to me, I was incredibly impressed.
I was tremendously grateful for Melissa's attention to detail and the exhaustive effort which she put into the search; working until midnight some nights and backing up early the next day - she went above and beyond to supply a first rate service.
You’re amazing Melissa, thank you so much! I appreciate your input more than you could know.
Melissa Hughesdon
We were very happy with Melissa's service. Melissa was extremely thorough and responded quickly to all questions/concerns we had during the process. Melissa is very friendly! We personally like lots of information which Melissa provided, so we were very happy. We were completely satisfied with MMBA and have already recommended you to all our friends! We especially liked that you sent through properties that didn't quite meet our brief but were very close, as it allowed us to see what was out there so that when the right property came up, we knew straight away! It also showed us that you were working away behind the scenes and not leaving us hanging! We can't wait to get the keys and can't thank you enough for all you've done - we couldn't be happier. Thank you!!

I live in Canberra & looking to purchase in Sydney, needed advice from someone expert in the Sydney market to do the legwork. You gave me guidance and all the options - thank you for being so diligent! You were very approachable and responsive and I appreciate everything you have done for us to get the purchase happening & over the line. I am relieved and so happy with the purchase and the price we paid!
Peter
Thank you Melissa for your very detailed attention to securing the right property. You inspired confidence that the search would be successful and that I would be happy - and you were right! What a fabulous service. The comprehensive nature of the information provided and detailed property searches were valued. Thank you!
Jennifer McDermott
I highly recommend this service. We were so time-poor and just couldn't fathom how to fit in all the running around associated with finding a new home. Melissa kept things really simple. She asked for a very detailed brief and then ran with it. I really appreciated how she checked back in with me and I could tell we were on the same page very early in the process. We were just stoked with the property. Thank you so much!!
Marie Gale
We were absolutely delighted to find Melissa. She brought a professional and compassionate face to the challenge that we faced trying to find somewhere for our sons to rent. Not living in Sydney and facing a lot of competition - to work with someone who not only knows the market but is also great to get along with - meant so much. - Marie Gale Byron Bay

I used Melissa's service to save time, effort and money and to have less stress. Melissa has more local knowledge of the market than what I potentially had. I really enjoyed Melissa's cheery calls and communication! She’s straight and direct, knowledgeable and informative, and her reports were so detailed. Melissa’s ability to communicate is a top skill to have in this kind of work. Her reports were comprehensive enough so that I could confidently make a decision about the property I chose. Everything was as expected, with a little more thrown in too. It is a great service and Melissa does a great job. She’s patient and passionate about what she does. Good luck with it all! I’d recommend your service to other people.

I can attest that your services have been a godsend to me. I can thoroughly see the value in your expertise and am quite confident I would not have had the ability to find myself a place. I have a home I'm so excited about!
