What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Leasing, property management and residential sales form the backbone of what this South Melbourne agency handles for landlords and tenants, and reviewers consistently tie those services back to Chee and his team. Customers writing about their orders describe maintenance and repair requests dealt with promptly, communication that is clear and timely, and charges considered fair, along with useful guidance on reasonable rent and on regulatory changes affecting investment properties. Owners recount their holdings being managed with little fuss and with updates arriving before they need to ask, while tenants speak of speedy issue resolution and clear direction through the vacating process.

On the sales side, market knowledge, negotiation with prospective buyers and apartments sold within weeks at satisfactory prices recur across the feedback. Nelson and S. T. Hew are named separately for knowledge, reliability and communication carried through an entire property journey. The pattern that emerges is attentiveness to routine management and to larger transactions alike, including the general tasks surrounding a sale, with one owner of many years noting guidance offered as market conditions shifted.

S. T. Hew was amazing to work with throughout our property journey. He was friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, and always ready to help with any situation. His guidance, market knowledge, and effective communication made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us and was always professional and supportive. Highly recommend S. T. Hew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced real estate agent.

Very professional !! Chee’s understanding of the market was exceptionally accurate and insightful. My apartment was sold within just a few weeks, and at a very satisfying price. I truly appreciate all the effort and dedication from Chee and the team.

Excellent communicator, top notch service, outstanding results. Chee has been managing our properties for over a decade. His unrelenting commitment to providing top notch service whilst also delivering outstanding results in various market conditions has been consistently observed over the years. We have sold multiple properties through Chee and will continue to use his services in both sales and leasing as well as recommending him to our family and friends. Thank you Chee and team for your hard work and looking after us so well.

The property was listed for rent and for sale at the same time, and we were ultimately “rejected” as applicants, only to later see it marked as sold. That context would have made a big difference, and not being upfront about it made the whole process feel misleading from the start. We applied and were asked almost immediately to provide extra financial documents, which we sent through straight away. It was clear we were in a position to afford it, so we felt confident things were progressing. After that, communication stopped completely. We waited weeks with no updates, then suddenly received a rejection email with no real explanation. Finding out afterwards that the property had been sold made it feel like we were led on and our time was wasted. I understand that situations change and not every application is successful, but clearer communication and transparency would have gone a long way here. Being asked for detailed personal information and then effectively ghosted, only to later piece together what actually happened, is frustrating and unprofessional. Would not recommend based on this experience or Hannah.

I had a positive experience during my tenancy. Communication with Director Chee was always prompt and professional, and the property management process was handled smoothly from start to finish. I especially appreciated the clear guidance provided during the vacating process, which made everything straightforward. Thank you for the support throughout my lease.

Responsive, Warm, Friendly and Professional . CT Realestate has been managing 2 of our properties for over 5 years. Chee has been terrific to deal with. He is a very hands on person and an excellent communicator, he is warm, friendly and hardworking. I would highly recommend CT Realestate to manage your rental property.
