Independent real estate advice you can trust.

I was initially fortunate to benefit from David’s expertise when, after being widowed for 13 years, I came to sell my family home of 33 years. I consider myself a well-educated, strong and independent woman but I was in new territory here. Not only was this my first time selling a house, the house was full of memories which could hinder decision making. It was a great relief to have David on board. He listened and understood the personal issues involved but could merge that with an objective and intricate knowledge of real estate and guide me successfully through the sales process. David was a natural choice some years later when my husband and I were relocating from a rural setting to the coast. His advice and expertise, this time in the purchase of a new home, again proved invaluable. David provided background information, guidance and reassurance promptly and worked efficiently and calmly with all parties involved. One particular quality I appreciated was David’s insightful questions either to ask myself or the agents involved. David is very approachable, always easy to contact, responds quickly to enquiries and follows up in a timely and thoughtful manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Colman Real Estate Advice.

David recently played a huge part in my husband and I securing our first home. As first home buyers today, we found elements of the process overwhelming. David was able to cut through the jargon and help us weed out the duds. Once we made our decision he acted quickly and professionally liaising with the agent. It was great to have someone on our side who knew the trade secrets.’

We consulted with David during the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home ensuring contractual obligations were understood, best value was achieved while assisting us in the negotiating process. This assistance is invaluable when buying and selling and I highly recommend David’s services.

David has been amazing in helping me through the rental process each step of the way. If it were not for Dave I would have accepted less and spent more. Thank you for your amazing service David! You’re a legend!

Whether buying or selling David has helped us with all our real estate transactions over many years. Having an ice cold hired gun at an auction and a clear head for savvy, educated property advice has never failed to put money in our pockets that would have slipped through our fingers without him. Whether buying or selling getting David on your side is a winning strategy.

I have known David through business and personally for over 20 years and can recommend him highly. As he has trained thousands of Real Estate agents he understands how they think , work , talk and act. Additionally he is up to date with new technology and understands the future of the industry. With David in your team you will obtain independent, expert and clear advice on all your Real Estate dealings. He will save you time and stress when buying or selling.

David has provided me with professional and independent property advice at times when I have wanted to both buy and sell properties. On each occasion David was able to expertly guide me through the maze of agencies and particular agents so that I could make an informed decision about: (a) how to negotiate the best purchase price of a property I hoped to buy, or (b) who might be the best agent to elicit the best sale price for my property. David was able to impartially negotiate on my behalf with these agents whether I was buying or selling. What I have appreciated and still do appreciate most about David is the honest, ethical approach he took with me and when communicating with agents on my behalf. Providing independent, expert property advice and reassurance are paramount to David’s ethos and this has been evident with each real estate endeavour for which I have sought his help. Whether buying or selling, David has been reliable, competent and thoroughly knowledgeable giving independent support for those of us who feel less comfortable about tackling the big world of real estate alone. I have found – it never hurts to ask David.

David, Thanks for all your help in buying my unit. I wish we brought you in at the selling stage! The unit's worked out well & I'm happy here. Cheers , John Pearson

Selling a house or apartment is f*ing stressful!!! There’s choosing the best real estate agent, getting the best commission rate - which is never the figure they first tell you, and deciding on what to do, and what not to do to prepare your property so you get the most money from it. And then there’s the process itself... more stress!!! I mean it’s not like we do it all the time, In fact most of us do it once or twice in a lifetime. So it’s easy for shady operators to take a bigger chunk of cash out of what is your life’s biggest asset Well this is the situation my wife and I found ourselves in. We felt like the proverbial property lambs going to the real estate slaughter. But then a friend told us about David. We’d never heard of a service like his but having successful sold our property above reserve and at a minimal cost, we can’t recommend it more highly. His many years of knowledge and experience meant he could guide us every step of the way. Recognising opportunities that we would never have noticed, holding our hands when things got challenging, being the voice of reason when our irrational fears got the better of us, and dealing with the ‘sharks’ that will inevitably begin circling you as soon as they find out your home is up for sale. Of course you can save the small investment of money he’s going to charge you, but from our experience we know not only did he make the process so much less stressful, but we made the money he charged us back in bucket loads when the auctioneer’s banged down for the third and final time on our old home Matt Baldwin Malabar. i.e. - 20x the amount of money he cost us.

I just want to thank David for everything he did to help me purchase my first home. David was always so supportive and professional and he really went along on the journey with me. He is so fantastic at his job and I would never think of going through the stressful process of buying home without l him. I’ve been in my amazing apartment for just over a week now and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much again, David!
