What our clients say – Buyers advocate Melbourne and regional Victoria reviews

We recently engaged Cate Bakos and her team to help us buy our forever family home in Yarraville.

Her industry experience and relationships gave us the edge in buying a highly sought after property in a competitive situation. Cate gave us great confidence in estimating the property's market value and presented a clear and successful strategy to buy the house off market. She did all the work liaising with the agent and supporting us in our decision making.

We highly recommend Cate as a highly professional buyers' advocate. We really appreciated her calm and warm approach. Her team led us through the whole buying process and made it as easy as possible.

Cate does not let the grass grow under her feet! Within 3 days of contacting her, she had negotiated an offer for a property which we subsequently bought. Not only was she able to get us the price that we wanted, Cate took the stress and anxiety out of the entire process. She is most personable, and also communicated clearly with us through every step of the negotiation and buying process. Cate and her support team work very hard for the client - they provide a service that we believe, is second to none in its enthusiasm, attention to detail and professionalism.

We are repeat customers of Cate and her team at Cate Bakos Property. Each time we have benefitted hugely from their experience, professional relationships and expert advice. We were able to be completely assured that we were making the best purchase decision for our situation and were supported throughout the purchasing process. We would highly recommend Cate and her team to anyone looking to purchase either an investment or their own property, and we will be using their services again if the opportunity arises.

My girlfriend and I used Cate Bakos Property for our first investment property and we'll never look back.

Cate Bakos and crew are the most friendly, dedicated, understanding, hard working but always available team (sometimes replying to my emails at 10 at night!) you are going to come across in this industry. Full of suit wearing fat cats and big wigs it was very refreshing to have a female applying her craft, she's like a "velvet hammer" soft touch but packs a punch! I was treated as if I were her only customer!

Watching Cate on video as she was inspecting a potential property get down on all fours to check the foundations under the house in a pencil skirt and heels was amazing!

You can't put a value on the service you pay for including the quality professionals who will become part of your trusted team along the journey.

Remember, price is what you pay and value is what you get...

Thanks Cate!

I have recently worked with Amy and the team on purchasing my home. They have made the process extremely easy for me, not to mention the negotiated purchase price is below what we planned to pay for. I sincerely thank Amy and the team for the hard work.
