Tonya was referred to me by a colleague who had heard about my recent attempt to purchase a property and how disillusioned I had become about the Real Estate Industry.I am a small time player in the property market but the size of your budget doesn't influence the time and dedication that Tony puts towards finding you the right place at the right price. She manages you like you are her only client. Always there take calls and more importantly to make calls so that I didn't have to deal with the stress.I knew what I wanted and Tonya found it! It was easy for me but I know she had to go hunting and use her contacts and knowledge of the area to get the right property. It was because of her we were able to get an property that ticked all the boxes.2 months ago I almost made the decision to rent because I didn't want to have to deal with real estate agents who only care about their commission so I am so glad I was referred to Tonya.When my partner and I popped the champagne to celebrate our purchase we agreed that she has saved us time. money and stress. We also agreed that it is difficult to put a value on opportunity which she did by creating an off market property. Thank you Tonya!Tony is professional and full of passion. She educates you, she is an advocate for you and she delivers. I highly recommend her services.Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We had the pleasure of working with Pene to buy our family home. Pene had a perfect balance of professionalism and warmth in dealing with us. She listened carefully to what we needed in a home, but also encouraged us to broaden our thinking when needed. We found her messages and videos invaluable in our decision making. Our first home purchase was not an ideal experience and having Pene as a safe pair of hands this time made us feel heard and cared for. We’re looking forward to making new memories in our family home. Thank you Pene and team for your support!

I had Pene as my advocate and she was absolutely incredible. Right from our initial brief, she completely opened my eyes to what was possible. Throughout the entire process, she took time to thoroughly educated me about the market and I never felt pressured into making a decision. I had full confidence in her expertise and she completely over delivered, landing me my dream home! Her support, professionalism and guidance went well beyond what I expected. I highly recommend Davidsons Advocates.

I sold my home of 25 years and with nowhere to go at that point I enlisted Tonya and Ros. In my case, Tonya was the Big Cheese, running the show in the background. It was Ros who looked after me and she was a total star. She was always one step ahead, and always blazingly positive. She knew the mar...

I attended an auction in Malvern East where Tonya paid nearly $800,000 more than she could have bought the property for when it was "off market". It was available for $4,500,000 for 9 months prior to the vendors going to auction. The vendors did really well and the agent handled the sale perfectly. ...

Tonya and Claire made an overwhelming process of property searching into something quite simple. As someone new to Melbourne without a support network here, they helped me get over the line much quicker and with far more confidence than I could have achieved on my own. I worked with Claire, who str...

We just bought a beautiful off-market property with the help of Penelope Siemering from Davidson Property Associates. We're originally from the US, so we're not familiar with the Australian property market and buying process. Fortunately, Pene was there to guide us every step of the way and get us ...

Choosing a buyers advocate isn’t easy, especially when they all have glowing reviews. When I was deciding who to go with, Tonya was the first one I called - and within minutes, I knew she was the one. I felt like I was talking to an old friend who just happens to know every agent in Melbourne, so I ...

I cannot overstate how amazing Ros, Tonya, and the team at Davidson Property Advocates have been! They are a truly professional, approachable, and personable team. Ros took the lead on our property search and was an incredible asset; no task was too complex or too simple for her to handle. It was a...
