Where does one start to even try to explain the multiple ongoing failures with this agency? The photos of our property were lost, and then there was nothing to list in the advertisement. They "forgot" to advertise at the end of a tenancy. The next time they "forgot" that the tenant had given notice until two days AFTER they had vacated. They placed tenants into our property, and then failed to inspect it for 18 months. In that 18 month period the apartment became infested with cockroaches, the window fixtures and blinds were destroyed, the carpets were beyond filthy (they were hazardous) and destroyed to the point of needing replacement with unremovable stains and damage. Even multiple light fittings were destroyed. Nothing was left undamaged or not covered in filth. When the above tenants decided they were paying too much for the now filthy hovel they were living in, the "Senior Managing Agent", Evonne Chen, encouraged me to take a close to 20% rent reduction to keep these people in my property. When we declined to take her advice she allowed the tenants to vacate with a $50 "compensation" payment for the neglect and damage they had inflicted. An agent who claims to be a "Senior Property Manager" and is referred to as such on the Soames website did not even understand the concept of rental bonds, tribunals or even the reasonable cost of repair or damage rectification This agency has cost me literally thousands of dollars through a complete failure with multiple agents (the one prior to Evonne was just as incompetent) to provide even the most basic of management services. When it was escalated to the owner / principal, he made a small effort to try to make good by replacing the window blinds and having the carpets steam cleaned. Whilst a nice gesture and we appreciated this, in the end it was far less than the managing agent should and could have recovered from the outgoing tenants. All I can say is that we gave this company far too many chances over far too many years, all while paying above market rate for management services and they failed miserably. After two and a half years of asking multiple times, they weren't even capable of arranging a quote for window fly-screens. This kind of lack of response would be very frustrating as a tenant, as much as for a landlord. As rental managers, based on my own experience, I would urge people to avoid at all costs. EDIT - Update 29 July 2019 Please note the MULTIPLE recent 5 star reviews of this agency, including ones for Evonne Chen that only came soon after my true experience naming her was posted (my review was originally posted 26 July). I had also let Keith Soames know to expect my review over a month prior, coinciding with another surge of positivity. When new reviews are posted in these circumstances with no review history from the posters (these are the first and only reviews from these people) there is a fair chance they are FAKE. If only Evonne had made as much effort managing my property as she has spent chasing and or writing reviews.....

Writing this so Soames Hornsby have some pointers that can be improved. Fixed term expired Sept 2022. Switched to periodic. Rent increased by $30. 6 months later Soames Agent calls to increase rent significantly. No written notice provided. According to NSW fair trading rent can only be increased once in 12 months and 60 notice to be provided. Both of these weren't followed. I offered $60 increase, rent as part of negotiations but landlord wanted whopping $110 increase instead. I advised I cannot afford this amount. Upon this I received a termination notice, with no reason provided in the termination notice ie no reason ticked. This is the 3rd illegal event. I moved out under significant stress, despite explaining the situation in an email to the landlord that we just changed schools and I was open to negotiations. I moved out on Wednesday after doing all the cleanup. Exit inspection report received 12 days later with number of items to be addressed. 2 weekends had passed, if inspection report was handed on time I could have addressed these. These were minor items and a Soames maintenance person would have charged not more then $500. Quite a lot was wear and tear and cleaning issue. I had also paid Soames reccomended cleaner $600 Regardless I offered $500 for fixing the said items. Landlord wanted $1000, which was too much. To get out of stress I offered $750. Still they wanted $800. Which I paid same day as they didn't trust me that I would pay after bond was returned. Also in this time I received numerous calls to cancel my bond refund from Soames Agent. I am finally out of this situation but has caused too much stress and has been exhausting dealing with Soames. I reccomend, agents need to work for both landlords and tenants and advise landlords to follow the LAW, not just do what they say. Not to screw tenants out of every penny they have for things they won't cost that much. Have proper communication and be prompt as specified in NSW fair trading laws. I could have gone to the tribunal to challenge the rent increase at 6 months without notice, regardless of these I kept getting threatened to withdraw my bond. I lodged the claim after not hearing from agent. Only after I lodged the bond I started getting calls. Long story short, I am glad this has ended. Wasn't happy with the service I had received. Soames should compensate me for this stress and hassle. But I know this will not happen. Good bye.

Evonne Chen did a really bad job here. Recently my lease agreement will be expired and I want to renew it. And the insurance company wants to come and change the timber floor, I already agreed and do everything I can, for example, have a discussion with the property manager and my neighbour to ask for their help to move the furnitures. But Evonne Chen just voided the Lease Agreement Renewal, and send me a text message said that if I cannot make the timber floor replacement happen, my lease agreement would not be renewed. I do not understand why she saying so as I already agree to make this happen. Then today when Evonne came with Mia, the new staff in this company, I said you should talk to the husband and wife because they jointly own this property, and they both are landlords. The reason why I said so is because the wife very understands my situation and agrees with our plan regarding how to make the timber floor change happen. Evonne said it in front of me and your staff Mia that she just talked to the husband, and she does not care whether there were joint owners. I said I gonna record what you said. Evonne said it's fine, just record it, I dont' care. (She said it in front of Mia as well). Then when I went to get my phone to record it, she just went away together with Mia. The last sentence she left to me was she would not argue with tenants. Firstly, Evonne only cares amount one landlord, if you are joint landlords, she does not care about you. (She exactly said so in front of me and Mia, one of your staff) Then, she only cares about the landlord, she would not care about the tenant. If any conflicts happen, she would just threaten you that she would not continue the lease agreement with you and force you to compromise. I just do not know why I already ask for all the help I can get to make the timber floor replacement happen, and she still does this to me. And last time when the person who will do the timber floor replacement was here, Evonne talked to him over the phone. when they finished the call, that person said to me, my husband, and the mother-in-law of the landlord that Evonne just does not understand things and she is not helpful at all. So it is not only me feel so, other people feel so as well. Jack is very good. He always wants to help. But Evonne Chen is definitely very hopeless.

Avoid at all costs! they literally lied and deceived me to get a contract signed! I would not trust this real-estate as far as I could through them. Apparently the manager there condones this behaviour too as he will not get back to me or contact me to discuss the issues. UPDATE on the REPLY* It was a condition of me signing the lease that a dryer is installed, there are 15+ units in the building and every unit has a dryer in it, the apartment I have had previously had a dryer in it, strata did not say a dryer can not be installed, they said you cant nock through the wall to put an external vent in! this is very different! the reason for this is because there is a vent already there, and also a massive window that can be opened! I am very happy you think that a clothes drying rack is "living comfortably" its every Australians dream to one day own a clothes drying rack to dry their clothes in the winter! it was an agreed condition of me signing a contract! there is no logical reason that a dryer can not be installed in a very well venerated laundry that has vents and windows in it! the fact that you say strata does not allow dryers in the building is not only ludicrous but yet another lie! there was a dryer previously in the apartment and every other apartment has a dryer in it! I still have had no personal contact from you or any other manager from your office! so don't come on here and pretend like you have in any was tried to address this issue!

I just wanted to formally say that I have been with your company now for a few years and had noticed the level of service tapper off to a substandard level, to a point I had to chase payments and at times could not get in contact with my agent to arrange repairs for my tenants in a timely manner. As my house was hit by the storms, my agent assured me he would help handle the situation. I was disappointed after I started receiving calls from the Building and Insurance company that they too could not contact my agent to work in with the tenants to access my house which made the repairs drag out longer than it should. I decided to make a call to your office to take my business elsewhere to find my agent was no longer working with you and that you had a new person taking over my property (Kate Rayner). After hearing this, I thought I would give it one last try to see if things would improve and I have to say Kate has been absolutely outstanding! From the moment Kate joined your team, I have started to receive the level of service and advice you would expect from your agent and more. Please pass on my thanks to Kate, her professionalism and hard work has been noticed and very appreciated!

I had the pleasure of working with Mia from Soames real estate when I was searching for a rental property, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, Mia was kind, respectful, and a true pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect place to call home. Throughout the entire process, Mia was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns that I had. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local real estate market and was able to provide valuable insights that helped me make an informed decision about where to live. What really stood out to me about Mia was her professionalism and her genuine care for her clients. She always put my needs first and worked tirelessly to ensure that I was happy with my new rental. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are truly unparalleled. If you're in the market for a new rental property, I highly recommend working with Mia. She is an outstanding real estate agent who will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect place to call home. Thank you, Mia, for your kindness, your expertise, and your commitment to your clients!

  • Shai Bedarkar

I am quite pleased that Tony and Ellen have joined the Soames team. Renting can be challenging unless the people involved are being fair and reasonable. Very often it comes down to the basics: polite and open communication. Regular inspections usually are missed. But these guys are thorough. With the rains we faced several issues and this team was able to liaise between the landlord and us to come up with a fair resolution. We vacated recently and the rains had dumped sand from the neighbours into our yard. I had explained to them that I was suffering from Covid and where initially I was planning to go the property and remove the accumulated sand, Ellen literally took the shovel and did it herself! How good is that? Unheard of amongst agents! If only this team was there since the beginning of my leasing term I would have given full 5 stars to Soames. Thank you Tony/Ellen for helping us navigate through our move and make it a positive experience! I hope all feel inspired by your teamwork

  • J K

Interested in some of your rental properties and wanted to book inspection. But I get no response from online enquiry. Tried calling you guys for a few times on the number provided to speak to a specific agent (Tristan) that listed the property, first time he wasn't there so was told once he got back to the office will get back to me, and actually I was reassured that he will return very soon, never received a call afterwards. Few hours later I called a second time requesting to speak to the agent, and was told that such person does not exist, and that the property manager will give me a call. Never did. For a different property, I sent an SMS to the mobile of the agent in charge, never got a reply. This company should seriously get themselves more organised and responsive. Not happy with the service I received and will never consider you again, there are other real estate agents out there that are much more helpful.

We purchased a home from Soames Hornsby and Gareth Watkins helped us with this. It was an off market purchase and Gareth had been in contact with us from before as we'd missed out on another one of his on-market properties. He has been very professional in his communications and also understood our situation and supported us as buyers. There was a particular incident which Gareth could've easily covered up but he didn't and that shows the honesty and due care that was shown to all parties (including us as buyers). So in the end, we settled on the property we liked and moved in. Gareth was kind enough to come over with a red ribbon and take our photos to make it a special memory for us to cherish for years to come. All in all a super experience with 5 stars and we've good all good things to say. To top it off I loved to chat footy with Gareth who is also a huge footy fan. I thoroughly recommend Gareth!

  • vivien Zhang

I want to have a big shout out to Evonne, Jason, and Jonty from Soames real estate for looking after my rental property. They are all very helpful, smart, approachable & hard working agents. They works as a team and I could see they have a very good team work. Evonne and Jason especially helped a lot over the past few weeks with all different rental questions from me (landlord), and helping to communicate with strata agent and tenant, providing professional advise, and referring trades at very timely manner at my request. I am so glad to select them as my managing agent and we really enjoy working with each other. Thank you very much, and please keep it up. Vivian

  • K F

My wife & I were looking at houses near the Hawkesbury, and had the pleasure of dealing with David Miles & Jennifer Wright. They were both proactive in providing visibility and information (including putting us in touch with local people when they themselves didn't have first-hand experience), and quick to answer any questions we had. They also went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules, sailing us around the river as needed and giving us a glimpse of the river life. We didn't end up buying the property (the vendor pulled out) but as disappointing as it was, at least we had a genuinely nice time interacting with Jen & David. Many thanks to both!

  • Debra Horton

My experience on finding a rental at one point in my life was a bit difficult so I had approached Soames Hornsby. I was in a situation where I had to move urgently and needed out of my current home due to personal matters. Benjamin Sweeney was one of the property managers I have come across with at Soames. He was very polite, professional and an easy to approach person. Not only that he shows compassion and respect to his clients, but he also shows he cares greatly about the work he does and takes such pride in it, which any business would appreciate. I highly recommend Ben if anyone needed some guidance or help with a property.

  • Mark Greentree

When renting, it is imperative to have a property manager that is communicable, trustworthy, and empathetic. One that you can ultimately build a rapport with. As a life-long renter, I can say without a doubt that Alain Asmar fulfils that description. Unlike other property managers I have dealt with, I have never felt that I am inconveniencing Alain and he has gone above and beyond to ensure that any issue, no matter how trivial, is dealt with in the fastest and most convenient way possible. My family and I look forward to many more wonderful years as clients of Alain’s and Soames Real Estate Upper North Shore.

  • Ryka J

I recently sold my unit through Soames and I had the pleasure of working with agent James Campbell who made the process very easy and explained everything in detail from the beginning of the process. He was very patient with my constant questions and went above and beyond to get me the best price of the day in the quickest possible time. He explained every step of the process and gave me some knowledge of the current market. James is also very professional, polite and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend James if you’re looking for a great agent to sell your property.

  • Kerfegar Patel

EXCELLENCE PERSONIFIED. 100% RECOMMEND I would really like to thank Lucy Jaggard for the flawless support she has provided while looking for a perfect Home for our family. She is very quick to respond and is very Helpful as well as extremely patient as we saw multiple homes. We were given very honest and perfect guidance by Lucy in finding the perfect Home. I will surely recommend Somes to my extended family, friends and anybody looking forward to a trouble free and smooth experience. I must Congratulate Somes for having such Powerhouse Performers as consultants

  • Hannah Dziura

You have been the world's best real estate agent to the best little Hornsby unit ever, and we are so glad that our first experience with a renting a property outside of a private landlord was with you. We hope that we haven't been too much of a hassle in our two years with you. The unit we rented with you guys will always hold a special place in our hearts! There is a very lucky someone out there right now who has no idea this gorgeous little property and its legendary agent awaits their future! Thanks again, Soames Hornsby, for being such a joy to deal with.

  • Daniel Yun

Jack was a leasing agent and I as a tenant met him for renting an apartment at Hornsby. I am writing this review to share my experience with Jack as professional agent. He has been knowledgeable and helpful in the process of renting an apartment from the inspection to finalising the contract. All processes have been clearly conveyed and all documentation has been professionally prepared for avoiding any time waste. His explanation was comprehensive and answered all my questions. I am confident to recommend Jack as a realestate agent.

  • Rachel Northcott

I have been renting with Soames for 8 years and have generally had great experiences with them. I have been through two moves with Soames and on both occasions found them to be helpful, professional and easy to deal with. In my most recent move they really went above and beyond to help me and my kids into a lovely new home. My current property manager Alain is very friendly, kind and professional. I feel very lucky to have a great property manager as they are few and far between! Highly recommended.

  • Noelle Coleman

Ryan and Tristan recently secured us a property in Mount Colah. I was amazed by the pure professionalism and absolute passion for their profession from both of these men. Ryan went above and beyond for our needs and was an absolute pleasure to deal with I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a property in the area to go through him. He is a very passionate young man and will do great things in the near future! Thanks to everyone at Soames for the great support in this process.

  • Michael Tong

Gareth was delightful to deal with as a vendor. He managed to sell our 2bedroom unit in a competitive market, in a challenging and unprecedented time period (i.e COVID). Gareth did the basics superbly (generating interest, diligently followup leads & prospective buyers, keeping us updated & responding to our questions promptly) but what set him apart was his ability to sell our property for a good price in relatively quick time, during COVID! Well done and many thanks Gareth!

  • Ruby Collison

I want to give my sincere thanks and respect to Chris Varcoe. I locked myself out of my Thornleigh home on Easter Sunday. He went out his way to come to the Thornleigh office and find my key, when no one from the Thornleigh office was answering their phones. I can't thank him enough for allowing my day to not be ruined and for saving me a lot of time and money. A true gentleman and the pinnacle of customer service, even when I'm not his direct customer. Thank you Chris

  • Alex Warren

Had a great experience with Jack Kim, fantastic real estate agent, was very helpful in providing information. Got back to me within 5 minutes of messaging about a property, quickly accomodated my request to inspect, provided lots of assistance in moving in processes. Absolute pleasure to interact with Jack, all-round top bloke. Consider yourself lucky if you walk into an inspection and see Jack. Also Mia Kennedy what a legend fantastic stuff all around.

  • Stephen Clark

Unfortunately my experience with this company was not good. Difficulties with getting maintenance undertaken, receiving notice to vacate with no reasons provided and then having the property put on the market for rent with a significant rent increase for prospective new tenants and contacted to have open home inspections whilst I was in the process of moving out and before a final inspection had taken place. Overall a really disappointing experience

  • x tong

Evonne from Soames R/E has managed our property since Jun-18. She is fantastic, professional, responsive and friendly agent. She communicated with us promptly with solutions on hand if tenants have had any request. Full detailed period inspection reports are very impressive and comprehensive. Her high level of professional and local knowledge is priceless. With her help, we really enjoyed our ownership experience. Thank you Evonne, you are awesome.

  • Kerry Woods

Totally and thoroughly unscrupulous and unprofessional. Avoid at all costs. In relation to your comment. Thanks for getting back to me over 2 years later. I sorted out the issue in my favour, through the tribunal. Your employee was appropriately held accountable by this agency. I and my now 2 adult sons have all purchased properties through other more reputable real estate agencies, so my displeasure with you is no longer an issue.

  • Liz Mackenzie

We would like to thank Gareth for his help and assistance during the purchase of our new home!! Gareth went beyond our expectations and was always available for any questions we had. Even after the settlement date he still made himself available to help us with a few things. Gareth, thank you for making this stressful process so stress free!! We would recommend Gareth to anyone who is in the market for buying or selling property!

  • Michael Warren

This company represented the vendor of a property I bought 10 years ago. I asked the agent Jim to stop contacting me as he was never my agent. Today I get a message from his replacement John MA saying that he is now my agent. Stop harassing people. I never selected your business, you just happened to represent the people I bought the house from. Terrible form harassing people for 10 years to try and drum up business. GO AWAY

  • Guru Achary

5 Stars for Tony Yee, Joy Tian & the Team at Soames. Joy has always been extremely quick & clear in replying. She has arranged immediate help wherever possible, & explained clearly where it wasn’t possible. She has always been a step above all my requests as a Tenant. Couldn’t ask for more from a (Asst.) Property Manager. She is a strong asset to the Team at Soames. Message to Soames: Don’t lose Joy Tian

  • Gary Chen

I have dealt with Keith Soames for 7 years so, and I have always been happy with all aspects of my dealings. Most recently this year, Sammie have helped with a unusual and special request. The request took over a period of time. I found Sammie to be responsive, professional, punctual, and very helpful, providing guidance where needed. I thank Sammie for your assistance and would recommend Sammie and Keith Soames.

  • Nanda Gopalan

We would like to thank Gareth Watkins from Soames Real Estate for his outstanding help and guidance throughout for selling our place. He is very flexible, patient and very quick to respond to any queries we had. He understands the client needs very well and had gone above and beyond from what one would expect from an agent. We would highly recommend Gareth to any one currently looking to sell or buy a property.

  • Sumudu Herath

As a first home buyer, I had lots of questions every step of the way. Katie was very patient and thorough. She never rushed me, encouraged my questions and always gave helpful information and feedback. Katie made all my interactions with her incredibly easy and stress free. Thanks so much Katie, really grateful for all your assistance and patience in this process. I have my first ever property thanks to you!

  • Jesse Alderson

Geraldine was the perfect agent for a first-home buyer such as myself. She knew the market well, was generous with her time and knowledge, and went above and beyond to ensure not only that I got the best deal I could, but that I felt supported along the way. She worked tirelessly with my broker to ensure all details were shared and that at the end of the day everything was perfect for my first home.

  • Matt Wolfe

Having rented most of my life, I can say with confidence that Sammie Sullivan and the team are among the best out there. I have leased with Sammie twice now and I find her to be incredibly responsive, fair, honest and above all… Genuine. It’s a tough gig doing what you guys do, and I can’t thank you enough, for doing it so well. I highly recommend Sammie and the team at Soames Real Estate.

  • Gotrek66 -

Girlfriend traveled from Sydney for a booked inspection on a rental property, only to be told when she got there it was already rented. Other people had done the same thing. Disgusted they could have not informed anyone beforehand instead of wasting people’s time with a lame excuse of “we could not contact anyone” even though they had people’s phone numbers.

  • yoshi kr

Bought the unit in Waitara many years ago with Soames as the selling agent. When we decided to rent it out, Evonne was assigned to look after our property. It has been a great experience and delight to deal with her through many issues and problems (big and small). Evonne has been excellent and I cannot thank her enough for her effort and prompt actions.

  • iman Beh

AVOID AT ALL COST, extremely dishonest and unprofessional, we've told them on multiple occasions about all the repairs needed in the house, but they are only interested in collecting rent. NOT ONE single repair has been done by the real estate, and every time, they come up with an excuse not to do anything. DEFINITELY AVOID, NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

  • Eric Zhu

Property Manager, Evonne Chen, is highly recommended. I leave my invement property on her hand, with peace of mind as if I purchased a big insurance policy. She helped me to source such good professionals as an electrician, plumber and handyman for the repair work in the past year. Price was very competitive and problem had been resolved promptly.

  • Justin Lee

Mia Kennedy from SOAMES Real Estate completed the regular property inspection of our rental property. I am pleased with the process as she conducted the inspection very thoroughly and professionally. At the last minute, I had to request to her to alter the appointment time due to my work commitments and she was able to accommodate this. Thank you

  • Rebeccah Marks

We recently sold our home in Hornsby Heights through James Campbell. He came over to our house when we were originally unsure of what to do. James gave us options and never put any pressure on to make a quick decision. He was always friendly, polite and available to answer any questions we had. We wouldn't use anyone else, thankyou so much James!

  • Jenny Crowe

Katie Williams successfully marketed and sold our home. She was a pleasure to deal with. A great communicator giving constant feedback. She advised and helped with home preparation, was reliable and knowledgeable. Always there to help with whatever was needed. A great result at the end of the campaign. I would highly recommend you contact Katie!

  • Robert Thomson

Patrick and Benji gave us confidence and sound advice aswell as being very professional in handling the sale of our home in Normanhurst. They collectively secured a successful result, above our expectation, during a trying 3 weeks of continuing rain. Your efforts and support are very much appreciated. Thank you Soames Team! Rob & Margie Thomson

  • Pawan Virk

Jack (Hyunil) Kim is a consummate professional, friendly and knowledgeable on the area. Superbly respectful of the stresses associated with providing a property at a very short notice and was incredibly attentive to all my concerns and queries. Jack will be the person I will contact for any future real-estate needs and i highly recommend him!

  • Julia Torkos

My partner and I are renting a property from Soames Real Estate and I am really happy with the way I am treated as a tenant.

Both are happy for to answer any questions we feel valued as people. Thank you!

  • Brandon Pereira

Mia and Soames provided wonderful service in assisting us while we were renting a property in Pacific Highway Hornsby. She and her team are extremely professional, approachable, and prompt in their response and assistance. Our stay is made seamless by Soames. We are grateful that we are enjoying renting in Hornsby. Thanks Mia and Soames!

  • Aiko Cefre

We moved in a few days ago into our new apartment and the process was made seamless with Soames. Jack, our leasing agent was attentive, professional and kept us in the loop during the whole rental approval process. I highly recommend Soames and especially, Jack Kim if you are looking for places to rent in the Upper North Shore area.

  • Ehsan Lesani

Truly enjoyed working with Ryan on buying my new Property. He was also part of the process of renting out my Apartment. I had a great experience working with Ryan and Alain on renting out my apartment with a reasonable price. They are great on negotiation, value your time and make complex processes simple. Definitely recommend them.

  • oman pandey

Immense excitement and hearty gratitude to the Soames Real estate and agent( Jack Kim ) Me and my partner kindly thank you for your support and organizing our tenancy process smooth. Thank you for Reviewing and approving our application. Jack was very jolly, energized and ahead of everything in regards to make our tenancy possible.

  • Ravi Gupta

I want to thank Sonja Lamberton for her patience in answering my queries. She has not only increased my confidence with excellent product knowledge, but also made me comfortable to shortlist our dream home. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions, and I have no hesitation to recommend Soames Real Estate !!! Cheers

  • Jiansong Bao

Joy is a very professional property manager who provide comprehensive supports for me to rent out my apartment within a very short time when I am overseas. She helps me to efficiently fulfill the tenants’ requests. Highly recommend her for any landlord who want a hassle free professional service to rent out the property !

  • M S

THE BEST. I would like to thank Jack who really helped me getting a property too quick and he was easily approachable. I was new to Sydney and the way Soames people treated me is commendable. After I shifted then Evonne was really very helpful to sort all property related issues in a quick manner. Thanks once again.

  • S S

Excellent service. I needed a property urgently last year, contacted Alain (property manager) he was super understanding and helpful in understanding our situation. We got a property in no time and hassle free. They respond quickly and often with couple hours. Amazing experience..highly recommend Alain from Soames.

  • Ben Dubois

Have contacted them on multiple occasions to try and get them to stop delivering junk mail to our house, either they cannot read or they are just refusing to listen. Could only imagine how this would reflect on clients actually working with them. If you want someone that actually listens, maybe try elsewhere.

  • Gail Bateman

Very happy to be with Soames Real Estate now looking after our property. We had some issues with our previous Agent and Lucy at Soames stepped in and got things sorted out. The service has been professional, friendly and efficient. The property is now rented and we are back on track. HIghly recommend them.

  • Jane Li

I have been with Soames in the past 3 years over, my property agent is Evonne Chen, she has been responsible, responsive and easy to talk to, so it has been a pleasure to work with her. I would like to recommend her and your company to my friends if there are chances in the future. Thanks Evonne@Soames :-)

  • sachidananda g v

My self had a very good experience with SOAMES especially with LUCY JAGGAR, as she was so friendly through out the process of renting the house out, and also she advised with many situations where we weren't had a idea off. overall, it was a good experience. secondly, JASON HAUNG, is a very humble person.

Hope Stewart is an amazing real estate who helped me find the perfect rental unit in Hornsby within my price range and made the whole experience (which from experience, can be quite daunting paperwork wise!) straight forward and enjoyable. Thank you to Hope and the team at Soames Real Estate North Shore!

Lucy Jaggard is hands down the best rental agent we came across in our search for a property the last few months. She showed integrity, was incredibly responsive, always helpful and was a pleasure to deal with. I couldn't imagine us finding the perfect place until Lucy came along. Highly recommended!!

I moved into a new house a week ago. My agents Mia and Evonne showed extremely professional skills throughout the leasing process, and they were very considerate and timely to deal with and solve the problems encountered by the tenants. I think the rental experience was very good for me.

The whole experience has been great! They are quite proactive in terms of finding the right property and resolving any issue afterwards. Our agent Jack Kim has been looking after us and he is probably one of the best agents that we met. Great communication and timely follow ups …
