"

We recently sold our rental property with Michael and Renee and couldn't have asked for better agents. They were fantastic! Professional, proactive, and easy to deal with. They took care of everything and kept the process simple. They were very mindful of our tenants, showing real care and respect during open homes, which was very important to us. It was a difficult sale for me as I was very attached to the house, but their approach and professionalism made the process much easier. We're so grateful for all their hard work and would highly recommend them!

Michael & Renee Bourne were the perfect agents for selling my house. They were super friendly, easy to talk to, extremely responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. I found them to be clear, honest and trustworthy and their years of experience was obvious. They took all the stress and worry out of selling for me and got me a great result quickly. I would highly recommend them to others. Many thanks.

Was such a pleasure working with Renae and Micheal. They definitely are Bourne to sell! Their knowledge between them make them the perfect team. We got them to appraise our property before we had finished our renovations and they were spot on with the market. They were so patient with us during the process nothing was ever an issue. They did such an amazing job of marketing our home and had it sold in such a short time! They took the stress out of selling and made it such an easy process. We have and will continue to recommend them to people selling.
