Prop Culture - Reviews

This review is well overdue.Sam and Tabitha were a breath of fresh air after almost two years of searching for our first home in and out of lock downs. The market was racing and we were at risk of getting swept up in the hype and overpaying or compromising on things we would never have considered when we started. We were also at our wits end with real estate agents and wanted our weekends back.We spoke to a number of potential advocates and what immediately set Sam and Tabitha apart was their genuine, transparent and honest approach, their market knowledge, and their set pricing (as opposed to many agents who charge a % fee which is completely counterintuitive when they’re meant to be your advocate!).Engaging them was an immediate weight off our shoulders. They helped us narrow and refine our parameters, and kept us on track and realistic about prices (which they were always able to predict far more accurately than the statements of information!).We were demanding clients, but Sam and Tabitha were very patient with us and went above and beyond as we navigated this process for the first time, including through a few more lockdowns when inspections weren’t possible, and they gave us really helpful advice about how to protect ourselves in a rising market.We ended up buying a property off-market - an older house with good bones, north facing, on a decent block of land in a good suburb. Perfectly liveable but with lots of scope to improve. It is not something we would have even looked at a year earlier, but Tabitha was able to help us see the potential in it. One of the key benefits of having an advocate is access to great off-market properties and avoiding the stress of auctions where possible.It was such a comfort to have Tabitha on our side during the negotiation process too. We barely had to do anything! And she also helped us arrange a bunch of quotes for painting, fencing etc. before settlement so we could hit the ground running once we got the keys.And the service didn’t stop at settlement - we’re still in touch with Sam and Tabitha, including with Tabitha about our renovation plans, and she’s given us some really helpful advice about how to ensure we add value and don’t overcapitalise.In short: we’d never buy a property ourselves again! Sam and Tabitha were worth every penny! Highly recommend :)

We had a fantastic experience working with Sam in buying our property. From the beginning, we knew we could trust her, as she demonstrated her local knowledge and expertise in the south east market. Sam is very responsive and was always a call or text away during our search, making sure we always knew exactly where we stood and what was coming next. Most importantly, she helped us get the result we wanted, and we are happily living in our new home. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey. Thank you for your all help Sam! 😀

Tabitha and Sammy were amazing to work with! They really understood the brief, guided us in the right direction and were incredibly friendly throughout the entire process. Their approach is relaxed yet highly organised, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. We always felt like we could count on them, even to answer very basic questions that they probably have had to answer multiple times in the past. Their knowledge of the Melbourne real estate market and overall industry expertise really stood out as well — they clearly know what works and bring a lot of experience and insight to the table. Thank you so much to the Prop Culture team — we hope we get the chance to work with you again in the future!
