Fantastic experience: I have been renting from One Agency in Swansea for many many years and I found them to be very helpful and respectful to me. Hannah Martins has been an exceptional example of that help to me, I am a pensioner, and she has always been extremely kind in situations and enquiries from myself. I have always felt she has had my best interests at heart.
Fantastic experience: An agent like no other. I would give one agency 7 star if that existed Amazing team, very honest and actually care about the whole process
Fantastic experience: A Fantastic Experience. Tony and the team were fantastic! Tony was very friendly and genuine, and worked with me to make the process as smooth as possible. The follow up support from the team was also great. As a purchaser I could not have wanted a better agent to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Have had a great experience Renting with One Agency Eastlakes, especially with Lisa Howard who is a great property manager.
Fantastic experience: We are most impressed with Lisa and the team at OneAgency who work well together to deliver great service to tenants in an industry where ordinary is far too common.
Thanks Warwick!
Fantastic experience: Great attitude, great result! Lee was an absolute pleasure to work with! Lee quickly achieved a result that we couldn't have been happier with. Lee has a great attitude, is very professional and kept us well informed throughout the entire sales process. We highly recommend working with Lee to sell your property!
Fantastic experience: Hannah and the team are absolutely lovely! Every interaction I have had with them have been fantastic. They genuinely care about you and your experience with them.
Fantastic experience: Incredibly professional & supportive agency! One Agency started managing a couple of my rental units earlier in the year and I ended bringing over another three from other agencies. They take service & support (specifically Kelly Dircks) to another level. Happy to recommend!
Fantastic experience: When I rang the agency and spoken to Nikeya she could not have been more helpful and friendly. Immediately put me at ease. Then goes above and beyond to speak to Lisa who has recommended some other properties to us. Lisa has kept us up to date with any progressions. Thankyou so much
Fantastic experience: Hannah martens has been such a great property manager over the years. Every time I have rented a property with her I have a positive experience and I want to commend her and say how much of an asset she is to one agency. One agency is one of the best agencies I’ve rented through. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Always willing to help. Purchased my first home through Lee, his local knowledge of the area and market was outstanding. Lee was highly contactable, punctual and always willing to help. He is a people person, honest and straight to the point. Would highly recommend Lee and his team for all things real estate, purchasing, selling or renting.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Lisa Howard as a Property Manager. Lisa is an absolute professional and treats landlord investment properties and decisions as if there were her own. She is highly experienced, consultative, offers advice and guidance throughout the process and provides regular updates and clear communication. Lisa secured me wonderful tenants in a very timely manner after I had a poor experience with a former managing agent and ended up with a vacant property. Thanks Lisa, I look forward to you continuing to manage my property well into the future.
Fantastic experience: Aleasha made the purchasing experience easy and stress-free. Aleasha’s communication was professional, friendly and efficient. She went above and beyond to make sure the process went smoothly and that we felt valued. Any question was answered and addressed promptly.
Fantastic experience: Lisa and the team are amazing They made the process so easy and were fast with assessing our application Highly recommend them to landlords and tenants
Fantastic experience: Hannah Martens was my property manager for over a year, very professional and efficient in my dealings as a tenant, I was sad to move on from renting through one agency real estate but in my opinion I hold them with high regard.
Fantastic experience: Thank you One Agency Eastlakes and in particular Lisa for all you did to help out myself and my 4 children start our new life free from DV by securing us a beautiful property in the area we needed after receiving our first application into the rental market. Lisa was a fabulous property manager throughout my tenancy with one agency and we will be forever grateful as this home was the big step we took to change our lives for the better. Thank you
Hi Melissa.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for Lisa - we wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: One Agency staff made the search , application and eventual move in process so much easier than I thought it would be. I haven't rented in years and was expecting far more red tape and hurdles. They really made the whole process easy. once I'd moved in they continued to assist with small issues here and there. Great agency to deal with.
Hi,
Thank you for leaving such a great review - we hope you enjoy being a part of the One Agency family!
Negative experience: I never leave reviews but this warrants one. The most unprofessional experience applying for a commercial lease ever. Saw the agent show other clients through for inspections when they had told me it wasn't available to inspect yet. They could not tell me the cost of outgoings, how big the space was or how much the rent was - was told to list "as much as I can afford" for the bond deposit on the application form. I ended up renting through First Nationals & had an absolutely wonderful experience.
Fantastic experience: 5 star
Negative experience: Started with Shanti Page at One Agency with a wonderful positive experience. She decided to leave this agency and Tony Rich took over. I was left in the dark for more than a week and found Tony had no energy and not excited about selling the house at all. I decided to leave and with that came with the most unprofessional spray from him that ive ever encountered. I would really recommend staying away from One Agency and especially Tony Rich.
Fantastic experience: The support, friendly, down to earth communication and total professionalism of Shanti Page are second to none. Her market knowledge and assessment and implementation of appropriate marketing strategies is outstanding. Her ability to match strategies to properties to ensure the best possible outcome is exceptional.
Negative experience: As a buyer, I certainly don't recommend selling with this Agency, especially not Tony. 3+ days into trying to get a price guide on a property we're interested in, multiple phone calls and emails and we still haven't heard a thing back, haven't been able to speak to this selling agent Tony at all, no mobile number available and obviously doesn't respond to messages left at the office, despite a receptionist telling us he was in the office at least one of the times we called. I usually don't go to the effort of leaving reviews but I honestly feel sorry for the seller, if I was selling a house I'd be horrified to find out that my agent is flat out ignoring potential buyers. I've dealt with a lot of agents over the years, most times all they have to do is be contact able and the houses will sell themselves, this agent can't even manage that. Embarrassing
Fantastic experience: Highly Dedicated Professional Our experience dealing with Shanti was nothing short of exceptional. Shanti showed much professionalism right throughout our sale. Shanti was always on the job and highly dedicated to selling our property. She constantly kept us updated after each house viewing and worked after hours to get the job done. Shanti achieved an excellent result above our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend Shanti and the team for the sale of your property.
Fantastic experience: Shanti got us a great price in a short period of time.
Thank you Kim
Fantastic experience: Shanti and her team provided top class support and service during the sale of our home. We were very happy with the purchase price which was more than expected. Shanti has a great eye for detail and directed the photo shoot maximising benefit of style and flair. She also made it fun. We sold our home on the first open which was perfect. Shanti and her team work extremely hard which gets great results. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. She surrounds herself with other top professionals such as photographers videographer and wider team who were sympathetic throughout the process to our personal needs. Thanks again Shanti.
Thank you Charlotte
Fantastic experience: Exceptional agent Shanti is very personable and professional. Our lives are changed for the better due to Shanti going above and beyond to help us by listing and selling our home, and getting us the price we hoped for. Shanti’s honesty and warmth was always reassuring during the entire process. Cannot recommend Shanti and the team at The One Agency enough.
Thank you Chloe
Fantastic experience: Shanti's reputation attracted us to One Agency and our expectations were exceeded in all aspects of our interactions with Shanti. Shanti demonstrates such a high level of professionalism in the way she conducts business, she really wants the best for her clients and also the best for the communities in which the sale is being made. We have sold several properties before this one, but we have never experienced such high quality service and professionalism. Thank you Shanti it was such a pleasure having you as our agent.
Thank you Janet!
Negative experience: Will not recommend Tony from Oneagency eastlakes. Most arrogant salesperson!!! No respect for clients. Didn’t return calls, didn’t even provide his phone number, refuse to help in price guide, wouldn’t give section 32. Openly told us he didn’t want to sell to us but instead to his developer!!! And told us he didn’t like us!!! What kind of salesperson is that!!! We’ve been buying & selling houses for 10 yrs & never had an experience like that!!!
No respect for clients? After the owner was very disappointed that you showed up to the property and wanted to buy direct without an agent.
Didn’t return calls? My assistant Emily rang you back am today and you inspected the property at 11:30am today.
Regarding price guide, you were told that the vendor has instructed us there will be no price guide as they want to see what offers come in during the week.
Regarding Section 32 and the contract you requested, you were told we would email it to you and it was emailed to you at 11:59am today.
Not sure about any interpretation you made or where you came up with the myth of wanting to sell to a developer. I did tell you we had a local person as well as plenty of Sydney people wanting to purchase.
Unfortunately, when you have a very popular property on the market someone has to miss out. My final discussion with you was if you would like to make an offer then do so.
Fantastic experience: When the time came to sell our house there was no doubt in our minds that Shanti was the woman to do it. Her knowledge base, work ethic and overall personality are second to none. This woman knows how to sell houses, and does it better than anyone in the business Meeting Shanti on day one, we knew we had made the right decision. She is a people person, has the gift of the gab and has such a keen eye she can immediately see the potential of any house from the minute she steps foot inside. We are so blown away by the efforts of Shanti and her team and have walked away with a result beyond our dreams
Thank you for your review Steph
Fantastic experience: Shanti is unique like she tailors the words to describe the property for its inherent differences. It is those differences and the words that made the sale within a week of listing. She has an eye for property and the way to market them to their strengths. She works tirelessly for her clients. A great experience and a great learning curve!
Thank you for your review Robert
Fantastic experience: Having sold my property with Shanti, I needed to purchase one .I had a list of specific qualities the house would need. Shanti listened and presented me with an excellent off market opportunity that ticked all the boxes. At first I was reluctant to look at the property, due to what I perceived to be the closeness of the back neighbours..never judge a property from the street!...Shanti encouraged me to have a look, she said I know you will love it .Love it we do...thanks once again Shanti..you are professional, knowledgeable and your passion for placing people into homes is tangible...it's much more than a business transaction for you
Thank you for your positive review Bevan :)
Fantastic experience: Brilliant outcome I found working with Shanti, Ben and Liz at One Agency to be a really great experience. I was blown away by the attention to detail and dedication from Shanti and team on selling my property. The way they presented my unit was wonderful and I got a great outcome from the sale.
Thank you for your kind words Elise :)
Fantastic experience: Very personable and easy to do business with Shanti and Ben are very personable and easy to do business with.

Thank you Kathy :)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and approachable staff.
Thank you Phillipa :)
Fantastic experience: Shanti and team have excellent communication skills. They have a good portfolio of potential buyers. Shanti and Ben worked tirelessly to achieve our sale. Shanti and Ben are very easy going and nothing is too hard for them. Their commitment to our sale and us was exceptional.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Kerry, much appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Honesty, communication and patience! Shanti helped us on our journey to purchase our little Caves holiday getaway! She always communicated clearly and gave us the time to inspect properties and answer our questions. Shanti kept us in the loop and we never felt pressured.
Thank you for your kind review, enjoy your new holiday getaway!
Fantastic experience: 'Tour de force!' One of the best decisions I have ever made, was to choose Shanti! What I thought would be a harrowing experience, was (honestly) a joy. Her knowledge of real estate in the City of Lake Macquarie is vast, and her advice was invaluable. She has a brilliant work ethic. You can believe 100% when she tells you something will be done, it is!
Thank you Kerry :)
Fantastic experience: Dreams into a Reality Truly grateful for Shanti’s knowledge and skill set. Her team were amazing and they worked so well in scoring us the deal of the century! They were very personable and we always felt they had our best interests at heart. We loved how Shanti thrives on a good challenge, and she certainly delivers! Thank you Shanti and team, you were wonderful to work with and we are grateful for your assistance in making our dreams a reality.
Thank you Sarah!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and knowledgeable My experience with Kevin was made easy with his professional attitude and fast turn around with communication
Thank you Mandy
Negative experience: Con artist and rip offs
Fantastic experience: One Agency Eastlakes wins awards because they deserve too. Without doubt, they are TOP SHELF !!!
Thank you so much Kerry :)
Fantastic experience: 70 lake rd Swansea Hi Kevin went out of his way to help us through the whole process of buying the house and went above and beyond what a real estate agent usually does, i highly recommend Kevin for any future buying or selling of any property. Thanks Kevin your a great bloke to deal with cheers Darrin Newbold and Geoff Newbold.
Thank you for the positive review of your experience with Kevin :)
Fantastic experience: Authentic and trustworthy Advice I recently bought a house through Shanti Page and my experience in dealing with Shanti was second to none, she was extremely helpful along the process, Shanti shows her true integrity as she never stopped communicating and supporting us along the journey, especially after the deal was done. Most Agents will not put the effort in after the property was exchanged but Shanti was able to manage the requests i was making of the vendor right up until settlement. The entire time i knew Shanti was working to get the vendor the best price however she supported me through the entire process, she rang me each night during the negotiation and ensured both parties were extremely happy with the end result. i would strongly recommend Shanti to anyone who wants a passionate, hardworking, authentic and honest operator to sell their home,
Thank you for your recommendation Hugo, we're so happy you had such a great experience.
Negative experience: Firstly I am the owner of Professionals Ibbett Partners Charmhaven and we are relocating to Swansea in July 2020. We have applied to rent commercial premises from one agency and they do not return calls or recognize our application. They obviously feel threatened by new competition with Ray White also setting up in Swansea and see us as another threat. What I would say is "If you are looking for a great service call Ray White - Troy McLennan or Professionals Ibbett Partners NOW IN SWANSEA! We return phone calls and are always fair to EVERYONE.
Rod, we can confirm that you applied for 2 commercial properties. Both properties were within buildings that have existing real estate agency tenancies. Yes ours was one of them. The other was in a building one of our competitors is in. Both of your applications were taken to the respective landlords. Both landlords made the decision not to move forward with your application as they already had a real estate agency within their building. This is common practice for sole landlords of commercial buildings, not to accept more than one tenancy of the same business. Your phone calls were returned, you were advised. So no, not threatened, good luck in your new venture.
Fantastic experience: Kevin Hodson was very professional and worked very hard to sell our property. We would highly recommend him
Thank you for your recommendation Paul :)
Fantastic experience: Kevin was a pleasure to purchase from. He knew the area well and recommended similar houses to look at in the area before making a purchasing. There’s was no pressure to purchase or do things quickly so it was an enjoyable experience and i am very happy with my new house. He was available when needed and always got back to me quickly. Would recommend him to anyone looking in the area
Thank you Stacey :)
Fantastic experience: Dealing with Shanti was a pleasurably and rewarding experience. Her knowledge and expertise in her field is excellent, generously giving her time to answer my questions and being available when needed. Her devotion to her job is one of the reasons why she is so successful. Always trying to get the best price possible for her clients. Definitely highly recommended.
Thank you Donna, we're glad you enjoyed your experience with Shanti, she is number one in the area and you have listed all the reasons why :)
Fantastic experience: Rod assisted me with every step of the journey. Rod was a great help in getting my property ready for sale. The sale price exceeded my expectations. The market strategy was spot on, with my property selling after only one open house. Rod kept me informed of the negotiation process. Rod also helped me through the process of moving to my new property. Rod's suggestions and information were invaluable in enabling me to achieve the right outcome.
Thank you Geoffrey for your kind words, Rod is everything a top agent should be and more :)
Negative experience: Bad customer service. I was spoken to like i was always in the wrong. Very unprofessionally run business. I would not suggest dealing with this company.
Fantastic experience: Rod kept me up to date with how negotiations were going. He had a good grasp of the market and was able to organize things that were outside of his scope. Thanks Rod
Fantastic experience: Great team, highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier with Michael and the team at One Agency. Living in Blacksmiths and being able to hear the surf and walk to the beach has always been a dream of mine which has now come true. Thanks to One agency for a great job helping me buy my dream !
Fantastic experience: A1 knowledge and service. Have sold with them and have my investment properties with them too and can not fault their service, experience and professionalism.
Fantastic experience: Recently purchased through One Agency Eastlakes. Was a great experience, all the staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommend this agency.
Negative experience: Absolutely the worst people ever! These people are lairs , even after they have lost at NCAT, they have refused to pay the bill!!!!!
Negative experience: The worst place ever, DO NOT use these people, especially for property management!!!!! If I could post with no stars I would!!!
Negative experience: DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY They are the rudest and most intrusive people I have had to deal with in regards to renting ever. After renting for many years in several locations this agency and its staff are the worst I have experienced. Every 3 to 4 months they insisted on inspecting the property ! I had a professional cleaner and a lawn mowing service to keep the place tidy but that was not enough. Upon moving out they recommended a carpet cleaning service who showed up 2 hours late and then informed me that they could not do the flea treatment as requested when I booked the service. Now One Agency wants to charge another $220 for a flea treatment, (my dog does not have fleas) and is yet to provide a receipt for the service ?? Each time I have been to the office the staff have been rude, kept me waiting and hostile. Once again DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY
