★★★★★
We found TBAS after searching google for local and well reviewed buyer’s agents. We instructed TBAS to purchase our first family home in Darling Point that sold for mid $7m. We couldn’t have been happier with the performance of Rodney on the night. After we discussed strategy a few times prior to the auction, he then executed that strategy perfectly and we ended up with a great result. We are now in the processes of using him again for a second property purchase.
He’s friendly, professional and a great communicator! I highly recommend his services to anyone.
★★★★★
I am extremely grateful to have worked with Rodney as my buyer's agent. This is my third property purchase with him, and each experience has been outstanding. Rodney consistently demonstrates exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge and remarkable patience. His communication is always clear and prompt, and his strategic advice gave me confidence throughout the entire process.
Thanks to his expertise and market insights, he secured a high-potential property for me in a prime location with excellent capital growth prospects. His ability to understand my requirements, identify strong opportunities and negotiate effectively made a real difference in achieving a fantastic result. Given my consistently positive experiences, I will absolutely engage Rodney and TBAS® Buyers Agents again for future property purchases.
I highly recommend their services to anyone serious about making smart and successful property investments.
★★★★★
Before engaging Rodney McLoughlin from TBAS Buyers Agent, I may have been at 8+ auctions and numerous house inspections on our quest to secure a house which lasted more than 13 months. It took me 8+ auctions to realise that bidding at auction is a skill especially when it comes to fiercely competitive Sydney's real-estate on independent homes. Out of frustration I did some search on the internet and reached out to Rodney McLoughlin @ TBAS.
From the onset the experience with Rodney is nothing but reassuring. He gave a reality check on the market and what it will take to win at the auction. From the initial conversation, felt comfortable with Rodney. Over the course of few messages and calls, he helped in the auction preparation, provided key facts on selling agent tactics, did the research on real price guide, set a price goal and mainly put at our minds at ease on the max bid price.
On the auction day, his mindset, psychology and bidding tactics was a masterclass. Sincerely thank you Rodney for helping us secure our dream home.
★★★★★
Buying a property in Sydney is intimidating at the best of times and even more so in the current market. We just bought our first family home using the services of Rodney McLoughlin of TBAS and couldn't be happier! His experience, knowledge, professionalism and passion was obvious from the outset. Getting a detailed analysis of the property we were interested in gave us the confidence we were buying our dream home at the right price. You have someone on your side working for a great result the whole way.
Our property went to auction and knowing Rodney was in our corner on the day allowed us to actually enjoy the process knowing we were in with the best chance....... and we got it! 5 Stars Rodney McLoughlin ..... you were brilliant!!
★★★★★
Rodney delivered an outstanding result for us and provided exceptional service throughout the buying process. His professionalism, level of knowledge and responsiveness greatly exceeded our expectations. We can not recommend Rodney highly enough and we would not hesitate to engage his services again.
★★★★★
Rodney is very professional and also a beautiful person. I bought property first time in an auction and it was a great experience. He answered all my questions very patiently. Thank you Rodeny. Looking forward to welcoming you with your family in my new house
★★★★★
From the moment we spoke with Rodney about bidding on our behalf at an auction we felt confident that we had made the right choice in hiring him. Rodney is extremely knowledgeable, professional, easy to deal with and helped us secure our dream home when we thought it was out of reach.
★★★★★
I engaged Rodney to assist me in the purchase of a property in Mosman recently. I found him a delight to deal with. He was always available to answer questions and his expert advice was extremely helpful. On the day of the auction, he was the voice of calm and reason and managed to secure the property for me for a great price. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.
★★★★★
I would strongly recommend using TBAS. As a first time buyers in a new country Rodney's insights into the local Eastern Suburbs housing market were invaluable. We needed to understand the local price point and amount of stock for 4 to 5 bedroom houses coming onto the market in close proximity to our children's schools. Rodney went above and beyond.
He showed us in excess of 20 properties at varying prices over the next several months before we were even ready to buy, not to mention being available for phone calls day and night. We were ready to buy from the beginning of July. Rodney had found, successfully offered and secured our new house by the beginning of August. The house was completely on brief as well - a detached 5 bedroom house, in close proximity to our children's schools with a large garden and enough room to include a pool at some stage.
This was all well within our budget.
