5/57 New Beach Road, Darling Point
“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 process of using him again for a second property purchase. He’s friendly, professional and a great communicator! I highly recommend his services to anyone.”

“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!!”

“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 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 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.”
