Testimonials

Dear Miriam,

I wanted to thank you and your business in writing for the excellent result you achieved for my wife and I in securing the ideal property for us last weekend.

In appointing you to find us the ideal rental property, I already had high expectations as I had been aware of the work you had performed for a number of our clients in the past.  I must say that having worked with you on this project over the last four weeks, my high expectations were in fact exceeded.

In particular I was impressed with the range of appropriate properties you found for our review, your guidance in coming down to a short-list that met our criteria, and then the strategy that you designed and then implemented on auction day to secure the selected property was amazing.  Please also thank Pauline for her fine cameo and behind the scenes work!

I also really appreciate your communication with us to keep us focused on the important criteria, letting us know what we had to do and when, keeping us informed of what you were hearing from the market and letting us know what was realistic and what was unrealistic.

The results speak for themselves - you have been able to:

• secure a property for us
• that has had a thorough building inspection
• in a location that we did not think that we could access
• at a price below our budget
• with a contract that has been checked to protects our interests
• that will create wealth for us into the future
• with almost no stress
• in less than four weeks.

I have to admit that even in my most optimistic of moments, I expected that it would take us many attempts to secure a suitable property.  I am still pinching myself to realise that the project is complete already - and our property is in that location!  

I hate to think about how many weekends we would have lost and how much money we would have wasted and what level of property we would have settled for without your help.

I would be pleased to talk to any of your prospective clients to happily take them through your brilliant process and the fine result you achieved for us.  

We look forward to working with you and the Property Mavens team again for our next property search.

I have known Miriam Sandkuhler for 12 years and have often shared mutual clients with her in a professional capacity.Most recently I have dealt with her in her role as a Buyer Advocate and Property Investment Advisor. Throughout this property transaction, I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, expertise, professionalism, attention to detail and her negotiation skills - all of which were used to the substantial financial benefit of the buyer. 

As a Certified Practising Valuer or Sworn Valuer, my job is to provide fair and impartial assessments of property for a number of purposes including property settlement, tax and pre-sale or pre-purchase valuations. These valuations can either be assessed ‘as is’, or ‘as if complete’. We also specialise in investment property depreciation schedules.

Having now seen the approach, process and systems used by Miriam in sourcing an appropriate property for a client of mine - I am convinced that this is not only great value for money - but in fact invaluable in getting this very important investment decision RIGHT. The guidance and advice provided was very professional and her communication with all the parties involved meant that it was a streamlined process. 

My husband and I have been looking into the property market on and off for about 3 years. About 6 months ago we decided to buy our first property. Our knowledge about property was limited, we visited different properties and read articles but the amount of information you can find out there is diverse. Also we found that one seize does not fit all and the information we found was quite general.

I recently engaged Miriam Sandkuhler from Property Mavens to act for me as a Buyer Advocate and was provided with unparalleled service. Acting with integrity and professionalism throughout the entire investment process I was truly impressed with the service provided. As a single working mother, I struggled with the time and knowledge to explore investment options.  

After selling my mothers house recently I engaged the services of Miriam Sandkuhler from Property Mavens to help guide me through the confusing web of buying another property for me to live in. I had been to several auctions and thought the process too difficult for me to handle on my own. Having Miriam to help me was the best decision I could have made.

We made the decision to 'balance out' our investment portfolio with property. And we wanted to move quickly.Neither of us was in a position to spend the time required to build up our knowledge of the market and be fully confident in our property selection. 

My wife and I had bought and sold a number of properties in the past and currently hold a small property portfolio. Recently we decided that we would buy a number of properties within our SMSF however we were time poor and an upcoming overseas month long vacation was fast approaching so we needed someone that would assist us to develop a brief and then execute quickly. 

My introduction into to property investment was through developers who I now realise had a lot to gain from me investing with them. In the past I have been presented with a range of “researched information” with all the promised projections, benefits and advice which is provided by people who will benefit in some way through commissions or referral fees. It was great to discover Property Mavens who for an upfront fee, I know are working for me and that the advice given is not based on commissions or referral fees from developers or agents.
