Happy to provide. The firm is Select Property Advisers based south of the yarra but can act all over Melb. My agent was Michelle. She was an REA for twenty plus years and left industry in disgust, but has vast knowledge of the dodgy tricks other REAs try on newbies routinely. She was a tireless advocate for me. I purchased with full knowledge of what needed to be done in the next 5 years, the next 10 years as separate categories to help me with the purchasing decision, and generally went out of her way to ensure I got the best possible place for my price range. All my criteria were met, and the price at auction was actually a bit less than I was expecting. I think she scared the REA conducting the auction into good/legal behaviour.
