What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Barnett Real Estate draws consistent praise for the conduct of Jason Barnett and Donna, whose names recur throughout accounts of sales and rental management. Buyers and vendors in Geelong describe Jason as honest, approachable and knowledgeable, with several noting his willingness to travel to appointments, including repeated trips from Geelong to the Bellarine Peninsula to meet builders and open properties.

Reviewers repeatedly mention his negotiation style, which is characterised as respectful and down-to-earth rather than high-pressure, alongside prompt and reassuring communication from first inspection to settlement. Sellers recall campaigns that delivered results beyond initial expectations, while one account highlights his coordination of a Dudley Parade sale in St Leonards. Donna earns similar regard for property management, with owners describing accurate condition reports, proactive notification of repair and maintenance needs, and respectful dealings with tenants.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the ease of contact with the team and the thorough, responsive manner in which queries are handled. Long-standing clients speak of seven-year relationships and of recommending the agency to friends and family. The qualities mentioned most are integrity, reliability and clear communication, whether the transaction involves a purchase, a sale or ongoing management of an investment property.

I recently purchased a property in Lorne with the help of Jason from Barnett Real Estate, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jason went above and beyond driving several times from Geelong to Lorne to meet builders, open the property, and make sure everything ran smoothly. His communication was always prompt, genuine, and reassuring, which made what could’ve been a stressful process feel completely seamless. It’s rare to find someone who truly cares about both the outcome and the client, and Jason’s professionalism and kindness stood out from day one. I’d highly recommend him and the Barnett team to anyone buying or selling along the coast.

We recently purchased a property through Jason Barnett Real Estate and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our first inspection through to settlement, Jason was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. What stood out most was his honest communication and down-to-earth approach — there was never any pressure, just solid advice and clear answers to our questions. He made the whole process easy to navigate and was always available when we needed clarification or support. Jason clearly cares about both the buyer and seller, and that level of integrity really shows in how he operates. If you’re looking to buy or sell in the Geelong area, I’d highly recommend working with him. Thanks again, Jason — we’re thrilled with our new home!

Jason was able to orchestrate the sale of the property at Dudley Parade St Leonards. He was able to get an amazing result for the property, which we are thrilled with. Our communication in the process of sale was easy with Jason taking on our concerns & providing his expertise in relaying back to us in a timely manner. I would recommend Jason highly if you’re looking at selling on the Bellerine Peninsula. 👍

Jason was great to deal with throughout the purchasing process. Great negotiator but was respectful in his approach. He is down-to-earth and an all-round good guy.

I left the house keys at the property kitchen at the end of leasing date as the agent requested. But the agent said that we didn’t do that after a week of the day. Any renters have the same experiences please contact me. Trying a lot of excuses to deduct my bond. This is a super weird situation. One star is too many. Any negative star would be suitable. Just an update: Update: VCAT finally arranged my case, and I was ready to present all the evidence. However, the property manager withdrew the case at the last minute. What a joke. Unprofessional and disrespectful

We’ve had Donna as our Agent for 7 years and it’s been an absolute pleasure. We always recommend Barnett to our friends and family because she’s been so great to have. Easy to communicate with, friendly, thorough, and very responsive. A great support for anyone renting.
