Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat buyers advocate reviews and client testimonials

Cate Bacos – Exceptional, Experienced & Skilled I am fortunate to have had Cate as my buyers advocate in acquiring my new home. From the outset and through to post settlement Cate has consistently been supportive and committed to finding the right property to meet my needs and criteria, and within a particularly low-supply market. Cate has been patient and understanding, highly responsive and always available to help with advice and expertise including on weekends and evenings. No matter has ever been too trivial for Cate. She is genuine, empathetic, a delightful and lovely person. This makes for such a positive and rewarding experience working with her. Renee, Cate's highly skilled and talented colleague provides valuable professional services to client post-purchase and through to settlement, and beyond. Definetely an important part of the Cate Bacos team! Cate has earned her reputation as one of Australia’s most experienced and skilled accredited professional buyers advocates both domestically and internationally. She regularly advises and acquires property for her international and overseas clients, both homebuyers and property investors. Cate’s fees are competitive, upfront, and a sensible investment. I could not recommend Cate more highly to anyone considering engaging the top accredited professional buyers advocate. And those who haven’t considered it, I would recommend it as sound and proven investment decision. Thanks Cate. I look forward to an ongoing relationship through my property journey.

I had the most wonderful experience working with Cate and her Team. I had been looking to buy a house for two years and I was starting to feel very frustrated by the experience. Once I decided to go down the path of working with an advocate my whole experience shifted. It was so wonderful to have someone in my corner. Cate and her team were friendly, very knowledgeable and worked really hard to make sure I found a place I loved. And I did! They stayed with me right up to Settlement and were there to answer all my anxiety-filled questions. Thank you Cate. I would highly recommend Cate as a buyers advocate to anyone who is currently in the market to buy, and wants to act swiftly on a purchase.

We cannot speak highly enough of Cate, Renee and the team. Having decided to purchase an investment property, we quickly became overwhelmed with the decisions, and very nervous of making the wrong call. I was fortunate enough to find a podcast that Cate hosts, and after listening to hundreds of episodes, I decided this was the person we needed on our team!! Every single step was easy, well-informed and of absolute top-quality service. Cate went above and beyond for us, viewing numerous properties and providing amazing summaries, and, in the end, finding us the most perfect off-market property - far above our expectations. We felt so supported, and have learnt an immense amount throughout the process. Thank you so much, Cate and team. We look forward to working with you again one day! If you are considering engaging a buyers advocate, 110% recommend this team!

We had a wonderful experience working with Cate Bakos and her team to purchase a property. Cate was recommended by a friend who had used her services previously. Our brief included specific requirements and practical limitations including living outside the city and the imminent arrival of our first child. We chose Cate because her property knowledge is unmatched. She also has a unique ability to communicate this expertise whilst aligning with her client’s needs. Cate is authentic and well balanced in her approach. We felt secure that Cate always had our best interests in mind when guiding our process. As a legal practitioner working in the property industry, I appreciate how quickly the market moves. Cate was always quick to respond and jump at opportunities. This resulted in negotiating a private sale before the property was supposed to be auctioned. Cate even assisted us to secure a short-term lease allowing tenants to move in prior to the Christmas holiday period. Cate’s approach is calm and reassuring and we felt that each decision we made along our investment journey was well informed. Cate and her team are very responsive and an absolute delight to work with.

We are so pleased to have the opportunity to get Cate and her team’s help in securing our family home. It has been an educational journey where Cate encouraged us to think outside the box and more long term in our property purchase based on her experience. She has a very attentive manner to all our requirements. She gave us the time to digest the information and provided recommended suburbs that aligned with our needs and wants. She’s also very responsive and detailed in her approach, guidance and analysis. She made everything happen so seamlessly within 3 weeks of engagement. The team’s professional and personable approach made one of the biggest moves of our life happen with ease and comfort. Can not say enough for the team. Thank you so much to Cate and your team!

Cate was absolutely amazing through our home buying process. As we were interstate buyers, Cate was very insightful with her wealth of knowledge about the area (schools, desirable streets, not-so-desirable areas) and knew exactly what we were looking for after the initial strategy session. She took the stress away during the negotiations with the RE agent and was able to stay under budget despite the pressure from the RE agent. Can't recommend Cate enough! I don't think we would buy a property any other way going forward. Thanks Cate 🙂

Highly recommend Cate and her team's buyer advocacy service! We had been searching for our first home for over a year, it took Cate only 2 weeks to help find us our dream property at such a great price. She quickly understood our needs, provided great options, gave us confidence that we were making the right choice and managed the purchase flawlessly.

5 starts all round! Cate and her team are just wonderful. Cate is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, networked and friendly. Communication was always prompt and we felt informed at every single step. Cate’s team have been the cherry on top of an already great experience. Having full trust in the process and the people during the buying process is quite unique and we’re so glad we made the decision to work with Cate. Thank you!!

We had our first meeting with Cate on a Saturday and had purchased an amazing home by Wednesday. Cate, Renee and her team were incredible from first contact to settlement. As first-time buyers trying to purchase from interstate Cate Bakos Property made the process incredibly easy and helped us navigate every step. Absolute experts with excellent judgment, integrity and honesty. Thank you!

Cate and her team have been absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process! Cate has a wealth of knowledge, fabulous communication, and is always super responsive. Real estate can be such a confusing and intimidating space to navigate especially for first time buyer like myself! I’m so grateful to have Cate’s support as she is not only insanely skilled and passionate about her work but she always manages to explain the ins and outs of the process with the most accessible language! it would have been an extremely stressful few months if it was not for Cate and her team! I just LOVE working with powerful woman like Cate, she is simply THE BEST!
