Our comment from ImmoNetwork about TCR -Tweed Coolangatta Real Estate:
Established Expertise in Local Property
TCR - Tweed Coolangatta Real Estate is a well-established agency in the Tweed and Coolangatta region, renowned for its deep understanding of the local market. Led by experienced professionals Kaeren Smith and Michael Smith, the team brings years of industry knowledge to every transaction. Clients frequently praise the agency’s ability to navigate complex market conditions, from quick sales in hot markets to strategic pricing during cooling periods. Their long-standing presence in the area ensures they are well-versed in neighborhood dynamics, property values, and building specifics, providing clients with confident and informed guidance.
Transparent and Client-Focused Approach
A recurring theme in client feedback is the agency’s commitment to honesty, integrity, and a "no-push" sales philosophy. Buyers and sellers appreciate that Kaeren and Michael prioritize the client’s best interests over quick commissions. They are described as straightforward and realistic, offering sensible advice on pricing and marketing strategies. This transparent approach helps build trust, with many clients noting that they felt at ease from the first consultation. The team is known for listening to client needs and tailoring their services to achieve the best possible outcomes, whether securing a price above asking or finding the perfect rental tenant.
Seamless Commercials and Property Management
TCR excels in both sales and comprehensive property management. For landlords, the agency provides diligent oversight, including thorough tenant screening, regular inspections, and prompt handling of maintenance issues. Owners appreciate the detailed updates and the team’s ability to present their properties in the best light. On the sales side, clients highlight the seamless process, from appraisal to settlement. The team is praised for their efficiency, often achieving sales within the first week of listing and ensuring all legal and logistical aspects are handled smoothly. Their ability to manage rentals and sales with equal professionalism makes them a one-stop solution for real estate needs.
Exceptional Service and Communication
Responsiveness is a hallmark of the TCR experience. Clients consistently report that the team is accessible, answering queries promptly via phone, email, or in person. They go above and beyond by offering additional support, such as coordinating tradespeople or providing advice on home preparation. First-time buyers and sellers particularly value the step-by-step guidance and patience shown by agents like Michael and Kaeren. This dedication to customer service, combined with their professional demeanor, results in a stress-free experience that many clients recommend to friends and family for future transactions.
TCR -Tweed Coolangatta Real Estate: Reviews
Reviews are the opinions of their authors. We do not verify that the author was a customer.
Reviews on Google
4,6 out of 5 from 65 reviews
Negative experience: Bad experience - just see how this agency replies to bad reviews. It says a lot about their incompetence to take responsibility.
This post relates to a tenancy 5 years ago, everything was resolved at the end of the tenancy.
Should you continue to accuse our agency of taking money you will hear from our solicitor.
The compensation amount was claimed by the owner & was paid to the owner - not the agency.
Again another post like this & we will take this further
Michael & Kaeren Smith
Fantastic experience: Muno was my agent. Great communication skills and not price driven. (Not compared to the local agents) Made sure that we made the right decision for our pricing structure due to the current market situation and spent plenty of time with open houses and making sure we’re getting bang for our buck. Would highly recommend Muno as an agent……he doesn’t sell on price!
Negative experience: Very disappointing experience. We followed the agent’s advice to commit to an expensive marketing campaign and relied on her guidance around pricing and strategy, yet over five months there were only two inspections and one conditional offer that placed all the risk on us. Despite repeatedly raising concerns about the lack of buyer interest, very little changed throughout the campaign. There was also limited transparency about what marketing was actually being done, including social media promotion that had been discussed. After withdrawing the property from sale during a period of hospitalisation and serious health issues, we were met with relentless payment demands and very little empathy or understanding. Following this review, I also received emails referencing possible legal action and a public response unless the review was removed, which I found intimidating and unnecessary. Based on the conduct, lack of communication, and poor results compared to the online enquiry levels, I would not recommend this agency.
To say your 3, 1 star reviews are disappointing would be an understatement, incorrect & false accusations
Marketing is everything, it was discussed and agreed from first discussions, everything that was signed/agreed for was actioned & delivered.
The hits & views from REA & Domain were exceptional, the Internet marketing worked very well, yes disappointing the engagement did not result in more inspections, I cannot make people inspect.
The asking price was certainly a factor.
I understand the property not selling was disappointing for all concerned, but this does not reflect the marketing or my efforts.
Once the property was withdrawn the Marketing invoice was due & payable, as per the listing agreement signed
We strive to provide Professional & ethical service to all our clients, our reputation is everything.
For all our wonderful clients who we have worked with in the past & who have provided 5 star ratings & wonderful positive comments on their experience with us - when they see the posts they will understand this feedback is not how we conduct our business.
Michael & Kaeren Smith
Fantastic experience: A pleasant buying experience . After looking at quite a few houses, we found Kaeren to be the easiest to deal with out of all the agents. Her no-push approach but professionalism stood out. Being new to the area, Kaeren’s knowledge and advise was extremely helpful.
Fantastic experience: Prompt, honest and reliable experience . Compared to other agents, Kaeren has been an absolute delight to work with. From the moment I had our place appraised, she was honest, upfront and very prompt to help us sell our townhouse. Could not recommend her more highly. If only she could represent all sellers.
Fantastic experience: A Great Experience. Kaeren is an honest and friendly agent. She is fair and easy to communicate with. We would be happy to buy from her again.
Thank you Max & Nikki, enjoy your new home
Many thanks Kaeren
Fantastic experience: Kaeran Fantastic͏ service did a fantastic job of selling our property and getting a sale price that was above our expectations. He is always contactable and was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping my wife and I with any queries. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kaeren
Fantastic experience: Excellent Services . Kaeren was at all times a professional. She was efficient, knowledgeable, reliable and a great communicator. The process has gone smoothly and her feedback and advice helped us sell quickly and reduce stress. I highly recommend Kaeren and Michael Smith and TCR.
Fantastic experience: 5/5 Couldn't ask for any better when looking for a real estate agent! From the first meeting I had with Michael, felt at ease and he was very friendly. His knowledge of the market is outstanding and every aspect of the sale done professionally! Communication was great, informing me everytime there was an update. Thanks again Michael
Hi Heath,
Thank you for the kind word's, it was a pleasure working with you and achieving a great result . I look forward to assisting you in the future,
Positive experience: Professional. Kaeren has been in the business for a long time and knows her craft better than most , I would recommend Kaeren if your looking for honesty, integrity and highly professional person to sell your home or investment propertyy
Fantastic experience: Very professional workplace. The most trustworthy agents in the GC.
Negative experience: Terrible experience
Negative experience: I rented with TCR, they rented me a property knowing it flooded regularly. When we ended the lease due to it being inhabitable we were charged $88 for a handy man to put the TV back onto the wall which is fine (the apartment was semi furnished). But, the apartment is re-rented without the change… so this realestate pocketed the $88 and never refunded the money. We also asked the landlord if he would like the couch and tv unit he said yes. The unit looks a lot nicer with our furniture but it is absolutely outrageous that we were charged close to $100 and the realestate pocketed that money… see pictures for before and after
Fantastic experience: Michael was excellent. Michael obtained a good price for our house and was extremely helpful and understanding of our needs. His communication was exemplary and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Michael for any person who needs a trustworthy and great communicator to sell their house.
Fantastic experience: The most professional people I've ever come across.
Thanks Pim,
Appreciate the review, regards Michael & Kaeren & TCR Team
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience! . We had an exceptional experience with Kaeren from TCR. Friendly service that made buying our property a pleasurable positive experience. Kaeren was extremely quick and responsive to messages/ emails and was always available to help with anything required for our settlement. We would highly recommend her for your buying or selling needs. Thankyou Kaeren!
Thank you enjoy your new home
Many thanks Kaeren
Fantastic experience: TCR - Tweed Coolangatta Real Estate are a great team to have on your side whether you need a home to purchase or a place to rent. The team are very friendly and professional and look after you personally and you are not treated as just a number. I would recommend their services to everyone. I have been a renter for over ten years and the team at TCR are the most caring and responsive real estate team I have had the pleasure to be associated with.
Thank you Lesley appreciate your post great to have you and your family as part of the TCR family
Fantastic experience: TCR have handled my rental property business for 6 years. Their commitment, professionalism and due diligence is exceptional. Clearly they have effective procedures in place to ensure all boxes are ticked and the properties are very well managed. I have experience of other Real Estate Agents handling rental property, so my feedback is comparative. TCR has been exceptional.
Thanks You Kate appreciate your review
Regards TCR team
Fantastic experience: Quick and Responsive . Buying our house was made easy with Michael. Questions were responded to quickly and effectively. Michael always made himself available for us for us to review the property before final settlement so we were able to have our ducks in a row for trades people after settlement. Love the house Thank you Michael
Fantastic experience: Very prompt. We inspected the property late in the afternoon and got approved the following morning. They are that fast in processing. Couldn't thank them enough for all the assistance :)
Thanks you so much Brizza, appreciate your review!
Kind Regards,
TCR team.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. What a wonderful buying experience....I cannot recommend Kaeren Smith highly enough . Thorough knowledge of the area and the building we bought into . Professional beyond reproach ...honest and up front seamless no stress experience . Never have I dealt with such an experienced no nonsense agent . Cannot thank her enough for making the biggest decision of our lives so easy . Thankyou Kaeren
Thank you so much Karen really enjoyed working with you - I know you will your your new home
Many thanks Kaeren
Fantastic experience: Kaeren & Krystal from TCR are the most professional people I have ever dealt with. When we needed a new tenant they kept us informed of who applied and put forward recommendations after checking their profile. Inspections were carried out with photos and anything that needed fixing we did. We have had a very long association with TCR and can highly recommend them whether it be Buying, Selling or Renting. Very reasonable rates and fabulous staff. Well done :)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kaeren, Krystal and the team at TCRE who are knowledgeable, helpful and do a fantastic job of managing my property. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Thanks so much Petra, appreciate your review!
It's a please to assist with your property.
Fantastic experience: TCR are a wonderful real estate to rent through, ever only problems with the property they are straight on to it. Same day replies. I would highly recommend
Thanks so much Samantha for your lovely review, we are always here to help!
Best Regards,
TCR team.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and very quick to accommodate us in such a short time. Great communication and service.
Thanks you so much for the review, we are always here to help!
Kind Regards,
TCR team.
Negative experience: DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE. DO NOT USE THEM TO RENT YOUR PROPERTY. Kaeren Smith if we could give you less than 1 star, we would! This Tweed Coolangatta real estate agent is terrible. They have illegally blacklisted us. Illegally/ Without cause. And as a result, they are being investigated by fair trading. You will notice only good reviews exist from those who have no review history (possibly made up accounts) and those who have sold houses. In a housing sale boom. Like any agent could have for the last 20 years. Wow - great work - for Kaeren - you are minimally qualified, uneducated and unethical. - The Sweets.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service. We moved all the way from sydney, All the team were very helpful in answering all our queries. The application , process and move was a breeze. Thank you Kaeren and all the team at TCR
Thank you Shristi, we are glad to hear we provided you with excellent service! We appreciate the feedback and would love to work with you again.
Fantastic experience: We are grateful to the TCR family for our positive rental experience. They are responsive and reliable, always checking on us and our needs. Dealing with them does not feel like a business transaction at all. They really care.
Thank you for the 5-star review Jinky!
We are glad you enjoyed your rental experience with us.
Regards, TCR Team.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and efficient. Great communication and always very helpful. We are very happy to recommend the TCR team for property management. Thank you
Thank you Isobel, It is our pleasure to hear your valuable feedback!
Regards, TCR Team.
Negative experience: Do not use this tweed heads real estate agent. They do not know how to manage a property and they allowed such disrepair to the property we were renting from them that we lost a lot of personal possessions and business equipment, to the extent that we were able to claim damages through NCAT - a poor experience for the both the owner and the renter. The only winners here are this property management company. They also illegally listed us on TICA. This is a rental blacklist and these actions represent a complete abuse of the power differential between renters and property managers. They are currently being investigated by fair trading. Do not deal with these people. If you also have problems with them seek advice from the tenants union and call fair trading. - The Sweets
It bad when you use your 12 year old daughters name to post a review like this.
This is not a negative reflection on us or our business but a poor reflection on your selves
Michael & Kaeren Smith
Fantastic experience: Quick͏ sale in a cooling market TCR managed my property as a rental then its sale. In both instances they acted very professionally. They sought good tenants and ensured the property was maintained and kept me appraised of maintenance required in a timely manner. The sale was carried out very well, with excellent online marketing and regular personal inspections. I received regular updates of online interest and personal visits, receiving professional advice on several offers that I received. The property was sold at slightly above its appraised value and I am happy with the negotiated price. I will be approaching TCR when looking for my next property.
Hi Howard,
Thank you for your review , It's been a pleasure to manage and sell your property . I will also pass on your review to the property management team . Look forward to being of assistance to you in the future.
Fantastic experience: Very professional & helpful team of people, we have been with TCR over 3 years they have been amazing.
Thank you Aditi, appreciate you taking the time to provide the review
Many thanks
Fantastic experience: Sale͏ and rental of our properties The sale of our property was seamless and quick. TCR real estate were efficient and professional. They kept us updated throughout the sale process at all times. We achieved the sell price we were trying to achieve. I would highly recommend this business if you are in the market to sell or rent a property.
Fantastic experience: Efficient! Kaeren͏ Smith was the agent for my purchase & later sale of a Tweed Heads property. As it was leased, she had to arrange all inspections after conferring with the occupant. This was neither a straightforward operation for her at either event. When purchasing, she described the potentials of the property for me in detail - balcony use, privacy with shutters, the view, the fact that the view would not be built out, & so on. The later sale took a few weeks, as one buyer dropped out after a time, however another buyer was found soon after & the sale proceeded. I am very pleased with the service provided & would return to TCR Real Estate if I was again interested in buying. I believe Michael Smith also contacted a potential buyer from the list of inspections. A true family business!
Fantastic experience: Well͏ done, Kaeren! Kaeren from TCR was my excellent property manager for the past 6 years. When the time came to sell my unit she has done it quickly and professionally. Well done Kaeren and thank you!
Thanks you Iren, wishing you all the best in your new home
Many thanks Kaeren
Fantastic experience: Over a decade ago Michael Smith was the selling agent for a property I bought. First impressions count and because of this I asked Michael to be my selling agent for the same property which I have just sold. Both experiences (both as a buyer and a seller) have been great and this is due to Michael's proficiency as an agent. He knows the markets, does not pressure for sales, and is a genuinely honest and nice man. I wouldn't hesitate in using Michael again.
Hi Margaret, Thank you for your review, the 10 years seems to have passed quickly. It has been my pleasure to assist you and I appreciate the opportunity, Best Wishes.
Fantastic experience: Kaeren from TCR has been our property manager for the past 6 years. We have always been very pleased with the tenants she carefully selected and the way she was onto maintenance issues in a timely manner. The cost of maintenance was always reasonable and the property looked clean and well looked after when we inspected it. In February we put the property on the market to sell, and though it was still under a tenancy agreement Kaeren found the right buyer at the right price. We are pleased with the outcome and thank Kaeren and the TCR team for their professionalism throughout our long association. We can highly recommend Kaeren for selling as well as managing your property.
Thank you so much it’s been a pleasure to have assisted you throughout the management and sale all the best Kaeren
Fantastic experience: We have been using TCR to manage our properties for nearly 10 years now. They are thorough with their inspections, tenant screening process and have always presented themselves in a professional manner. I highly recommend TCR to any property owner.
Thanks you Chris
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, like always , cannot recommend highly enough. great work guys.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient, professional and friendly agents. We had been to around 10 inspections with other real estate companies and TCR was by far the best to deal with. 10/10
Thanks Will for your review really appreciate you taking the time to provide
Many thanks Michael & Kaeren
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend the Property Rental Team at TCR. I was advised that my long standing tenants at my Banora Point property were leaving at the end of May. As I live in the UK I have to totally rely on the professionalism of the TCR Team. I was advised on a regular basis via email on the refurbishment of the property and the selection of a new tenant. The Team did a thorough Exit Inspection, oversaw the refurbishment of the property and recommended various updates to attract new tenants. They advertised the property and had numerous applicants within days. They vetted and selected their top six recommendations as being possible new tenants, but gave me the opportunity to have the final say. A new family were chosen and moved in mid June. All of this was done in a three week period and I cannot thank Kaeren and Krystal enough for their endeavours on my behalf. I know my property is in their capable hands and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending them as a competent and professional Team to manage rental properties.
Thanks Sandy you have been a long term wonderful owner, appreciate your review, stay well best wishes Kaeren , Michael & the TCR Team
Fantastic experience: TC Real Estate were so easy to transition over to when changing real estates. They made the process quick and easy with no fuss. What lovely people to deal with. They made us feel relaxed and were happy to have a casual chat with us. Looking forward to our time with them.
Thank you Roz, really appreciate your review, so happy to have you as part of the TCR family
Many thanks Michael & Kaeren Smith
Fantastic experience: It was the second time and a smooth and easy process and I would highly recommend the entire team
Thanks you Florian , appreciate your review, please to have you with the TCR team Regards Michael & Kaeren
Fantastic experience: Thank͏ you Michael Michael͏ made himself available for us to look at this property a couple of times. Each time we had questions and when Michael didn't know the answer we would go away and then he would phone us with the information we requested. We found Michael to be very helpful and he certainly knew what he was talking about. I've dealt with a few real estates in my time and I can genuinely say he is one of the best
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Michael, Kaeren and their team at TCR Realty. They have been excellent property managers and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Their diligence, dedication and integrity are second to none. You don't get to be in this game as long as Michael and Kaeren without doing something right!
Thanks so much Melissa appreciate you wonderful post
Many thanks Michael & Kaeren
Fantastic experience: fast reliable and honest, found a great tennent
Fantastic experience: Kaye and all her crew are amazing so kind and considerate A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Simply the best
Fantastic experience: We've had a great experience with Kate & Krystal from TCR. They have been amazing to work with. Thank you for making the process of finding a property, moving in and ironing out a few household issues a breeze!
Fantastic experience: We made contact with Kaeren from TCR two weeks before our property that we bought went on the market - expressing our interest. Fast forward 2 weeks, photos done and a follow up phone call saw us with an appointment just hours after it officially went on the market! We loved it, made an unconditional full price offer and deal done same day! Kaeren was amazing, helpful, friendly, honest and nothing was too much trouble!! We are soooo happy to be downsizing to this property!! A toast to Kaeren and TCR and to us!! Luv it
Fantastic experience: We can’t wait to work with Kaeren again! From the moment she came to do an evaluation on our home, she made us feel at ease with her professionalism and ambitious approach. She made selling our house such an easy and enjoyable experience. She works hard for both parties involved. We can’t wait to work with you again! Thanks for everything. Tess and nathan
Thanks Tess so happy you guys have found a new home, thanks for the review really appreciate it. Take care Kaeren
Fantastic experience: A Real Real Estate agent! Kaeren was honest (yes really!), straight forward (yes really!) friendly and knowledgeable when it came to selling our home of 10 years. We achieved a sale at a price we were happy with within the promised timeframe - what more can you ask of an agent? Can always recommend her services :-)
Fantastic experience: Kaeren has taken care of several properties for us in both the selling and rental market and we couldn't be happier with her services. Kaeren and her team are professional, prompt and their communication is second to none. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them and would highly recommend their services to anyone who'd like an Agent that is realistic and actually listens to their client and works with them to achieve the best possible outcome
Fantastic experience: Kaeren is very professional, knows the market in this area well, always very friendly and respectful on how and when we wanted to place our property on the market. She was very helpful with best promotion options for the property and her common-sense advice was always welcomed. This is our second property that she has successfully sold for us and once again we knew she was capable of obtaining the best price in the current market. Thank you Kaeren !
Thank you Peter & Maria, appreciate your kind words, its been a pleasure to work with you.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Agent Kaeren has been great in guiding us through the purchase of our home. Kaeren is very professional and always available to answer all our questions. I would highly recommend Kaeren to anyone buying or selling a property.
Fantastic experience: Michael made the process of spending our money a pleasant experience We are very satisfied with Michael's approach to selling procedures . Very professional , very good communication and He explained everything to us , as we had zero experience in this area. Thank You Very much Michael . Definitely will recommend your services
Hi Ted & Anna, Thank you for your review it was a pleasure assisting you , I hope your enjoying your holiday..
Fantastic experience: Kaeren is a very professional Real State agent with a lot of experience, which makes easier the whole tramite. I'll recommend it to anyone interested in buying a property
Fantastic experience: I can not thank Michael enough for helping me to find and purchase my very first home! This is something I have wanted to do for many years and with his help I was able to do. With much excitement came the nerves. Michael helped me to better understand the process and answered all the questions I asked promptly. He went well out of his way to help me, making it a smooth process and quick settlement. He was very polite whilst providing fantastic customer service. I now plan to own investments in the future and 100% know who I will be using as my agent, as well as referring him to all of my friends and family. Fantastic agent for first home buyers. Thank you Michael, I am so happy with my purchase.
Hi Amber, Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure assisting you . It is very exciting when you are purchasing your first home or investment and I look forward to being of assistance to you , friend's and family in the future. Very Best New Years Wishes to you
Fantastic experience: Kaeren is a very professional agent. She is friendly and helpful.
Negative experience: I receive plenty of flyers in my mail box from this real estate agent, I DO NOT appreciate receiving unsolicited calls to enquire if I am interested in selling my property! Invasive and unwanted! If I want to sell or buy, I will approach a real estate agent of my own accord. Guaranteed not to utilise this real estate as a result!
Hi Kaye, thanks for your feedback, If your number is not on do not call register we do have a telemarketer working in the office calling residents in the area. We have taken your number off our list, apologise for any inconvenience.
Regards Kaeren Smith
