It’s so important to act professionally, with integrity and always do what you promised to do and more… That 1% over and above a 100% is what makes a whole lot of difference.” “Two of my favourite sayings have always been – “retail is in detail” and “we have two ears and one mouth for a reason”. Although real estate differs from retail, the philosophy of paying attention to detail can never fail and listening more than talking will always deliver great results because it ultimately boils down to knowing what the client wants.” Testimonials “You are a very talented and warm person and we felt lucky you helped us with this big purchase.” Kindest Regards, Rose and Ross Roberts “You are quite simply the best salesperson I think I will ever meet.” Regards, Craig Rhodes “Thank you very much for your time and your high standard professional service”.

Throughout a highly stressful process, Milena was incredibly helpful and accommodating. She really went above and beyong in terms of organising stuff for me and being super aware of keeping me in the loop I would not hesitate to recomment Milena to anyone who wants an upfront, helpful and accommodating agent.” Karen Gillie "Milena recently sold a small lifestyle block for me using the auction process. Throughout the entire process I found that Milena kept me very well informed and I could not fault her professionalism. Another thing I appreciated about Milena was her readiness to consider my input and opinions. She clearly has a lot of experience in sales, presents herself impeccably, but at the same time is very approachable. Milena also appears to be well organised and thoughtful. I can recommend her to anyone wanting an agent who will work hard for them to get the best result possible" Amanda Smith
