What our clients have said about Brad
Client Testimonial
Jack D. – Buyer
“Brad and his team provided us everything we needed for a successful purchase in Melbourne as they took the approach to understand what was specifically important to us and our needs.
Not knowing the area ourselves, the PMC crew were equipped with extensive reporting, views and information on the future, and the local knowledge of professionals who had truly lived the area.
We were shocked at how quickly we had options in place, and even more so that all the leg work was handled so diligently. From video walk-throughs of prospects and comparison data, to real estate negotiation, we were updated every step of the way and confident we had a real representative in our corner.
What has stood out the most in our engagement – Brad and his team have continued to support us with Real Estate, trade contacts, and preparing the house well after our deal was done.
For the extremely personal and simplified approach, and the warmth and assistance post-sale, I highly recommend PMC.“

They were knowledgeable, easy to deal with, and gave solid advice throughout the whole process. Their guidance at auction was especially valuable, and thanks to their strategy we were able to secure the property at a very good price.
They kept us updated the entire way, were always quick to respond, and made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward. We really appreciated their support and would happily recommend Brad and Kit Ho to anyone looking for help buying in Melbourne.”
