Our comment from ImmoNetwork about MINT Residential NSW:

The agency leverages its partnership with the Minor Hotels network to connect buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants, aiming to deliver consistent returns through efficient management. Their services cover the full spectrum of real estate needs, from buying and selling to comprehensive property management and investment advice.
Market Knowledge and Negotiation Skills
Client feedback consistently highlights the exceptional market knowledge and professionalism of sales agents, particularly John Tsironis. Clients describe him as an "outstanding real estate agent" with in-depth knowledge of the Sydney CBD, Darling Harbour, and Pyrmont areas. His ability to achieve superior sale prices, even in challenging market conditions, is frequently praised. Clients appreciate his honest, transparent communication, his proactive updates throughout the sales cycle, and his skill in negotiating favorable outcomes. Many buyers and sellers have returned to work with John multiple times, citing his reliability and ability to simplify complex transactions.
Dedicated Support from Property Management Staff
While experiences with the agency overall are mixed, several clients have shared highly positive experiences with specific property managers, particularly Chad Farrow and Bree Ball. These agents are commended for their responsiveness, fair treatment of tenants, and genuine care for their clients' needs.

Negative experience: Ignore the fake reviews. They do not care about the residents, they're very dismissive of your problems, don't respect your schedule. They Ignore your phone calls and emails unless it concerns money, while my AC remains broken. You end up paying so much money for no service and disrespect.
Negative experience: Extremely disappointed with our experience renting through this agency. We’ve had to deal with multiple unresolved issues since moving in – including a broken dryer and washing machine, no heater in the middle of winter, and electrical problems. It’s been over three weeks, and despite daily follow-ups, these essential problems still haven’t been fixed. We’ve paid our rent in full, expecting working amenities as advertised. Instead, we’ve had to handwash clothes in cold weather and live in a freezing house with limited lighting. The response from the agency has been slow and dismissive, and our request for a fair rent reduction was declined. They also demanded 6 weeks’ payment upfront, which included a bond that is not managed transparently. It feels like tenant concerns are ignored once they receive the money. I do not recommend renting through this agency. Save yourself the stress. Alessia Geha Extremely disappointing experience. Alessia consistently downplayed serious maintenance issues, including a broken dryer and heater during winter. Despite repeated follow-ups, responses lacked urgency and accountability. Her communication felt dismissive, and essential repairs were delayed for weeks. As a tenant, I felt neglected and unheard. ⸻ Susan Susan gave multiple assurances that she was liaising with the owner about our concerns, but there was no follow-through. Important matters like rent adjustment and unresolved maintenance were ignored. Communication was vague, and we were left waiting without updates or clear timelines. Very unprofessional. ⸻ Chelsea Chelsea misrepresented the property during the leasing process, claiming everything was fully functional and included. After moving in, we found several facilities were broken, and urgent repairs were delayed. She pressured us to pay the full amount upfront but failed to ensure the property met basic living standards. Felt completely misled. ———- Lisa Zhang (Senior Property Manager) Lisa does not know how to perform her duties properly. Communication was poor and often difficult to understand. She provided incorrect information about the bond process, did not follow up, and ignored multiple weekly emails. Instead of helping resolve the issue, she created confusion and frustration. A Senior Property Manager should be knowledgeable, responsible, and reliable. Unfortunately, she did not demonstrate any of these qualities. ⸻ Duong Dang (Property Manager) I repeatedly asked Duong to replace the broken shower head. He said he would check it during the inspection, but after the inspection he still asked me the next morning what was wrong with it. He admitted he did not turn the water on because he “did not want to get wet.” This shows a complete lack of professionalism and effort. A property manager should inspect, test, and confirm issues properly. Instead, he avoided checking the problem and expected me to explain everything again.
Negative experience: When moving into your new apartment in Sydney feels like a dream, and you’re excited to settle in and enjoy your new home in the city, it’s important to remember that things can quickly turn into a nightmare. Unfortunately, in our experience, Mint Residential was a poor choice. The agents’ approach, lack of professionalism, and general disinterest in the properties they manage left much to be desired. We would highly advise against using their services. And, if you have to, our recommendation is to thoroughly inspect any property you are considering, paying attention to even the smallest details, including moving furniture if necessary, to avoid unpleasant surprises once it’s too late. The property was presented as professionally cleaned, but the high number of dead and alive cockroaches, along with other disgusting things we noticed once we moved in, clearly shows that someone is not performing their job professionally. We personally ended up losing a lot of money, and the agent never showed any mercy or empathy. Luckily, after contacting the NSW Fair Trading Council, we at least gained some understanding of our rights in this unpleasant situation.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with this team. They were really reliable and supportive throughout the entire process. Special thanks to Chad for her outstanding efforts during my purchase procedure. Highly appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Chad has been fantastic! His energy is great - concerns are actioned promptly, always been easy to communicate with, responsive, and helpful. Both Chad and Bree are very professional and easy to approach in our 3 years of renting.
Fantastic experience: John is a true professional with an in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and his friendly disposition makes him so easy to work with! He always kept me updated at all times on the sale and buyer inspections and was just as excited as I was when he achieved a great selling price! Thanks John!
Fantastic experience: We are very happy with the service and assistance from John and would be happy to recommend him to others looking to sell their property.
Fantastic experience: I applaud John Tsironis of MINT Residential for his handling of our dealings, when looking to purchase a property in the Goldsborough building. He was uniformly punctual, courteous, informative and professional.
Fantastic experience: Hey John, thanks mate for all the help you gave us in , in as you say, trying to get the deal over the line, but in reflection, we decided it wasn't for us. Your knowledge on the situation was great. Dealing with you was good and relaxed, and I hope to stay in touch, to pick your brains if we come up with something else. Much appreciated. Robert Mumford
Fantastic experience: I want to express the good service they give to me and my partner like a tenant, we leaved 2 years in the unit . Any question or requirement they always give us the best service. I’ll recommend them.
Fantastic experience: They were nice, work very well and quickly.
Fantastic experience: I have always used this agency and have been very impressed.
Fantastic experience: We could not have been happier with John as our agent, he was professional and trustworthy and secured a great sale price in a timely manner. We have bought and sold property with John as our agent twice now and it was a pleasure working with him each time. We highly recommend John Tsironis as an outstanding real estate agent.
Fantastic experience: Had a viewing on Monday this week with chad. He was excellent. Very thorough explanation of the Rental properties features and he was very communicative with updates in the application process. Viewed and approved in the space of maybe 2 hours. Amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Very impressed With John from Mint Residential after dealing with some of the other agents in the Darling Harbour area John went far and beyond to fulfil my needs

This has helped to ensure the management process stress-free for me. I would highly recommend Mint Residentials to anyone seeking reliable and attentive real estate services.

Fantastic experience: Mint Residential and Chad in particular have been fantastic in all my interactions. They are my property manager (owner), and are super attentive and helpful.
Fantastic experience: John is very knowledgeable of the market where I was selling. He is a very experienced negotiator and very approachable and easy to speak to. He has a positive attitude and very motivated. Provides relevant and pertinent advice when asked. Interacts and engages professionally with all parties.
Fantastic experience: Would like to thank john for his amazing service for finding me an investment apartment I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
Fantastic experience: John demonstrated honesty, professionalism and showed expert knowledge of the CBD property market. Would strongly recommend his service should you be looking at buying or selling. Zsolt
Fantastic experience: Impressively helpful Chad (and the rest of the team?) did a great job of getting our unit renovated promptly between tenants, with better results at a lower cost than I’d hoped for.
Fantastic experience: As a solicitor, I have worked with many real estate agents throughout my career. John Tsironis is the cream of the crop. He is a true professional and a gentleman above all.
Fantastic experience: John is extremely knowledgeable about the CBD area and it was a pleasure working with him.
Fantastic experience: Called after hours. Chad picked up immediately. Was friendly. Answered my questions. As a leasing agent myself I very much respect Chad's attitude and work ethic.
Fantastic experience: Having just recently sold an apartment in the Goldsbrough building, I can definitely recommend John Tsironis. He is very professional and achieved a great price - higher than I thought I could get. He has many local contacts in the building including leasing agents, solicitors, and apartment investors, and is able to resolve any issues quickly and efficiently.
Fantastic experience: Chad was very helpful in assisting me with renting an apartment! He provided excellent support throughout the process, addressing my questions and concerns promptly. Chad's knowledge of the rental market and his willingness to go the extra mile made the experience smooth and enjoyable. His friendly demeanor and professionalism truly made a positive impact on my search for a property. Thanks again speak to you soon.
Fantastic experience: We have been using Mint Residential for almost 10 years to manage our rental properties, the team has always looked after our best interest and strived to get the best return, recently Chad Farrow and Bree Ball assisted us in doing a makeover of our property and found a new tenant within weeks of completion for a record rent for the building so I can highly recommend Mint to look after your property. Regards Grant & Malia
Fantastic experience: John has helped us buy and sell multiple properties now. Always very insightful and has continuously worked hard to achieve our desired outcomes. We would highly recommend his services.
Fantastic experience: Bree and Chad in NSW are the Dream team. Keep up the great work and thanks for everything
Fantastic experience: John is the ultimate professional salesman. He recently sold our investment property at a good price, considering the current market and economic conditions. He constantly kept us updated during the sales cycle and his negotiation skills helped in optimising the final price point. We have no hesitation in recommending John Tsironis as your sales agent.
Fantastic experience: Bree and Chad were very helpful to me when I rented an apartment through MINT Residential. They were very fair and supportive of me as the tenant (not the landlord). Although they were busy managing many other properties, they were very prompt in their responses, pretty much within the same day when I notified them of any issue. I felt very lucky to have them as our property manager as I'd heard of many negative stories about some property managers out there. 4 weeks before our lease expired, they were kind enough to send me a guide on what to do to get my full bond. I followed their instructions carefully (including engaging a bond cleaning provider that they recommended) and received my full bond back. They always went extra mile to help me out with anything I needed during my 2 year stay. It was a real pleasure working with them. I look forward to working with them again soon. Thanks Bree and Chad for your exceptional customer service. Keep up with the great work!
Negative experience: Chad Farrow is the worst people I’ve ever met. Please never do anything with this company and especially with him. He’s incredibly rude and unprofessional. Be careful. I would say Nicole was the best but she left the company.
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with John to sell my CBD apartment, in what is a challenging market at present. I am happy with the result that John was able to achieve. Good work and many thanks John
Fantastic experience: Thank you to John at Mint Residential for a very professional, efficient and communicative process in our recent sale. We are very happy to recommend John T to any prospective sellers, and in fact have already done so. Thank you!
Positive experience: Mint Residential have excellent knowledge of the inner city market where we purchased our unit and subsequently sold in a difficult market.
Negative experience: Chad is a very bad guy. Despite deep cleaning and proper handover of keys and property he is blocking my security deposit and making false statements to steal my money. Deducting money 250 aud for no reason. Never trust these guys.
Fantastic experience: I have been in touch with Chad whilst looking for a new rental and I am so impressed with how professional he is and how seriously he takes his job. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone looking for a new property
Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to write this review for Chad Farrow, who has been an outstanding property manager during my time as a renter. Chad's dedication to his role and his tenants is truly exceptional, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with him. One of the most impressive things about Chad is his responsiveness. Whenever I have had a question or issue, he has always been quick to reply and to provide a helpful solution. His level of attentiveness is truly appreciated, and it's clear that he takes his job seriously. In addition to his responsiveness, Chad is also extremely kind and understanding. He always conducts himself in a courteous and respectful manner, and he has made me feel comfortable approaching him with any concerns. His positive attitude is infectious, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about his tenants.
Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with service from John Tsironisi whilst selling my unit in Darling Harbour I would definitely recommend Mint Residential for selling or buying inner city property
Fantastic experience: John came highly recommended and I was impressed straight away with his professional manner and felt at ease talking with him. It was obvious that he had a lot of industry experience and knew the local property market very well (which is what we wanted). John keeps in touch and i have since recommended him to several other people who have also been impressed.
Negative experience: The tenancy service was incredibly disappointing. I had a great agent, Nicole who has sadly left the company. Chad took over, not only was he intimidating and continuously arguing which in my opinion is not professional, he was incredibly rude. Avoid this agency if you can, management is poor
Fantastic experience: John was very knowledgeable of the Pyrmont area and the apartment building I owned in. He provided an accurate valuation guide, gave good advice and used his exisiting contacts to sell the apartment in a very efficient and timely manner. I would highly recommend his services
Fantastic experience: John was very professional/Patient and Polite in dealing with my property. Recommend him anytime.
Negative experience: This real estate company is terribly mismanaged. Unprofessional team members and ludicrously unorganised. The gap in people skill is evident, especially their attitude towards customers. Property managers who we had to deal with in their organisation are extremely devious. Never in my 6 yrs of renting have I ever encountered this type of treatment from past experiences. I strongly suggest to avoid making business with them.
Fantastic experience: John was very helpful, honest and insightful and a pleasure to deal with.
Fantastic experience: A very good agent.. and very nice to prospect with both buyer and seller..
Fantastic experience: I really can't say enough about John,.he took time out to explain each step of the process in selling my apartment. I never felt pressure and was always kept informed of how folks who came to look at the apartment felt. The unique character of John was he was able to take those ideas and comments and improve on our offerings.
Fantastic experience: I rented through them and Jocelyne Rebullida made everything so easy for me. They returned bond in full.
Negative experience: They are very terrible. They always make mistake in sending documents which causes confusion and they don't own up to it. Very bad communication. They are trying to take my whole bond because apparently the apartment was left in "extremely poor condition" when it was cleaned prior to leaving. Nothing was broken in the apartment so i don't know why they are taking my whole bond. Horrible
Fantastic experience: My experience purchasing a space for my business was stress free due to John’s professional and friendly assistance! He was always prompt at returning calls and emails and the entire process was so smooth that I went to him when I needed a car space in the building too! Definitely recommend Mint and their services!
Fantastic experience: Great service selling our property. We achieved a great price and the transaction went ahead smoothly thanks to Mint.
Fantastic experience: Buying a property in Sydney with John was an absolute breeze. He was extremely knowledgeable and prompt and was diligent in making sure that the purchase went smoothly. Would definetly recommend John to help in your Sydney CBD purchase!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I have spoken to MINT residential (John Tsironis) a few times. To rent a car park, sell my place. I found him very professional, understanding and most of all, honest. He explained everything in plain language, was honest about all details and helpful in going through the steps. If you're buying or selling around Pyrmont/Sydney city, definitely talk to MINT
Fantastic experience: John Tsironis did a fantastic job of selling our unit in the Goldsbrough in 48 hours after we wasted 4 months with another local agent who clearly didn’t know the market. Constant communication from before he had the listing right thru and beyond Settlement. 6 Stars ⭐️
Fantastic experience: I just brought anat the oaks goldsborough apartments through through Mint property and I can not find the words of the high level of service and professional conduct of John.....I highly recommend using John if you want to buy in the darling harbour area.....He was just amazing a big thank you to John......
Fantastic experience: With 12 property transactions in 15 years we’re no strangers to the Sydney CBD market. We researched thoroughly before we entrusted John Tsironis to progressively sell 5 of our CBD apartments. He achieved an above expectation price despite being in the depths of the Covid lockdown. All the more amazing as the market was swamped by panicking financially stressed sellers. It’s great to deal with a proactive professional at the top of his game that listens to clients specific instructions.
Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with John from the sales team since 2014. He delivers what he promised every time. Thanks for the great results over the years John!!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend John Tsironis who is a good communicator and very professional. I had a pleasant experience to purchase my property.
Fantastic experience: John from sales really impressed me. thanks for all your help in our purchase.
Fantastic experience: Great experience at this office especially with John Tsironis from sales.
Negative experience: Tried to view a studio, got told was 12pm tried to call to confirm, sent a message also, very unprofessional, unhelpful, don't reply to messages or try to return phone calls. Worst service for rentals, would not recommend trusting them or giving them your time or effort.
Negative experience: So poor quality of service. I tried to enquire about something, but he only said "I don't understand what you are talking about", so I explained again. However, he was too quiet , so I felt weired and checked my phone. HE JUST HANG UP THE PHONE while I was explaining!!!!!!!!! SO RUDE!!!! I called back and tried to explain the situation but never listened, and just cut off when I was explaining, and yelled at me. I have never seen this kind of unprofessional real estate. WOW.
Negative experience: Not recommend to anyone they not do anything on time I have to call to get the bond back took me over one month they ignored with all the issues, very hard to contact them as well
Negative experience: Don’t recommend! Unhelpful and unprofessional staff. They usually ignore tenants phone calls and never call back! We made a decision to finish the contract because they never show the willingness to service their tenants.
Negative experience: Very unprofessional, rude and very late
