I can certainly see why Andrew's client see value in him! Andrew Date employed myself (Barry Plant) to represent the sale of his vendors investment property. Andrew's expertise in relation to preparing the home for sale and sales method were adopted and resulted in achieving a fantastic outcome for his clients. The property sold within 9 days and multiple offers presented. I have no hesitation in recommending his services and look forward to doing business in the future!read more

I couldn't be happier with the service and the outcome that Andrew provided to secure my new investment property. Andrew is an absolute pleasure to communicate with, no matter the time or means. I am based overseas for the majority of the year so I relied heavily on Andrew's knowledge and experience which proved to go above and beyond my expectations. I can't thank him enough and look forward to working with him and his team again.read more

Andrew Date from Buyer Agents Melbourne recently assisted us with the sale of our Unit in Pascoe Vale. His initial estimate of the value of our property was spot on and with the enhancements he suggested we sold for just over that in a slowing market. Andrew was always very responsive to any requests via email or phone and we found his support to be invaluable in giving us the confidence to stick to our plan during times in the sale when we may have agreed to sell for less. We thoroughly recommend his services.read more

I could not recommend Andrew and his team highly enough. Purchasing my first home through Industry Insider has made me realise just how essential it is to have an Advocate such as their calibre on your team. I genuinely believe we have saved tens of thousands of dollars by engaging Andrew and his team at Industry Insider. Andrew was available at all hours of the day and no task or question was ever too much. I will be recommending Industry Insider to all of my friends and family. Never have I written a more deserving 5 star review.read more

We approached Andrew after some great feedback from some friends on his services with purchasing their first property. He was was cool, calm and collected. Super easy to get along with and knew his stuff! He helped us understand the process whilst not feeling overwhelmed. We learnt a LOT about property and all the little tricks to it. Thanks Andrew for helping us find our DREAM HOME and also securing it at a very full on auction! We will forever have fond memories.read more

My husband and I used Andrew for the recent sale of our property and purchase of our new forever home. The vendor advocacy service was great as we were given advice that was real, achievable and not overinflated especially in these uncertain times in the property market. Andrew gave us guidance in how to present our home to make it as saleable as possible. That helped us to achieve a sale in 3 weeks when other properties around us were on the shelf for 8+ weeks. The next step was to find a new home, I have never been so stressed! Andrew was always there with great advice, communication, understanding and was really thorough. Andrew’s calm and educated approach was something that calmed my stress and once we went ahead with negotiations I was certain the house would be ours, and it was! The level of communication that Andrew provided during the entire process was something that really impressed me and gave me the utmost confidence in his service and advice. We have also used his recommendations for a conveyancer and broker who have both been impressive. Thank you again Andrew for helping us so much! We got our dream home without the nightmare!!read more

Andrew helped me lock down my favourite property by winning the auction at a significantly low price. During the last open inspection, a lot of people showed interest in the property and many of them planned to participate in the auction. That's when I decided to buy it. Within 3 days, Andrew gathered information, scheduled house inspection, formulated strategy and finally prevailed in the auction with a price much lower than I expected. His integrity, insight and professionalism ensures the accomplishment of the goal. Highly recommend!read more

UPDATED: 21/11/2018 - I've now also had the pleasure of working with David on the Vendor Advocacy side of their business. David had a client needing assistance with a property in the CBD, David & I worked closely together and were able to improve the cosmetics of the property and were able to deliver an exceptional result. It was clear the strong bond that David had with the client ensured a great working relationship. I could see the client had complete faith and trust in David & the team at Industry Insider and I know it made the process of sale a much easier one for her. October 2017 - In working with David Hewitt, it was immediately clear he had a thorough understanding of what his client was looking for, he was lovely to deal with, detailed and professional in his approach. It resulted in the property I was representing being the right one for his client. When his client came through all the aspects David thought she'd love, she did. She had definitely made the right choice appointing David as her buyers advocate. I look forward to working with David and his clients again in the future.read more

It was such a wonderful experience dealing with both Andrew and Dean. Dean has been amazing throughout the process. He was able to find our dream investment property that we thought was unattainable in less than a month. Thank you for taking care of everything, answering all my questions through text messages and phone calls even outside business hours, explaining everything, making me feel comfortable and for always being patient. Thank you for going above and beyond!. I could not thank Dean and Andrew enough for their excellent service, for working for our interests and for a stress free experience! This is an early Christmas present for us. What more can we ask for. Highly recommended! Extremely happy with our first investment property, for the wonderful support in achieving our goal and hopefully more to come! All the best guys ❤️read more

Thank-you both Andrew and Dean for your assistance. It's amazing how much I have learnt about the property market from your guidance. I can't believe I've secured a two bedroom private villa with a very large courtyard in a blue chip location, under budget and reserve price!! This is truly a magnificent result!! Dean, you've been of real support to me during this entire process, just like a friend!! Your knowledge, perseverance, and reliable nature makes you an asset to Industry Insider. Thank-you very much! Please also thank Chris on my behalf I really appreciated his support on our first day of inspections. Keep up the good work!read more

We can’t thank the team at Industry Insider enough. They managed to secure a family home for us in an area we thought was out of our budget. But thanks to their patience, research and negotiation skills, we have found our dream home. In particular, Andrew has been there to answer our calls and provide guidance through the whole process. We are very impressed with their services and would recommend them to anyone about to purchase a property.read more

Skilled and professional negotiator Dean Munro recently purchased a property off me on behalf of one of his clients. His knowledge of the suburb was second to none it made my job a lot easier. On auction day he had a game plan and executed it perfectly, If I was looking to purchase a property I would have no hesitation in using Dean Munro to purchase it on my behalf.read more

We spent years hunting for a home. Years! Finally we decided we needed help. After chatting with a few different buyers agents earlier this year, we decided to sign up with Andrew at Industry Insider. Andrew provided us with a set of experienced eyes, friendly guidance, insight into alternative options and practical/industry point-of-view. We also really appreciate that they charge a flat fee when so many buyer's agents charge you a percentage of the sale price. It seems counterintuitive to expect an agent to fight for the best price for you when the more you pay, the more they earn! With a flat fee, that concern is not there. Thanks to Andrew and David (who expertly handled the auction), we're picking up the keys to our new home tomorrow! It's a property that ticks the boxes that are important to us as well as a few wish list extras. Thanks guys and all the best! Maybe we'll do it all again some time in the future?!read more

David and team at Industry Insider were fantastic. As expats living in Australia, we were unfamiliar with the property market here and David walked us through the entire process. He helped remove much of the stress of buying a property. From arranging private inspections to handling negotiations, David's assistance was invaluable. We ended up getting the best price for the house we wanted through his extensive knowledge and networks - something we would never have achieved on our own. David's customer service was impeccable; he would always check in to update us on new properties and when we did find a home we wanted, he communicated every step so we were always well-informed. David and team saved us a lot of time, money and stress and David worked hard to find us a home at our price point. If you're looking to buy a property, highly recommend David!read more
