Wonderful service! They helped us find our dream home and get it at a great price. They really walked us through what would have otherwise been a very confusing and stressful process. We gained a lot of insights, time and money thanks to Jo-Anne and Julie. Highly recommend Property Home Base!!!

Jo-Anne was recommended to us to help buy our forever home......2 weeks later we got our house!! Past experience told us that buying a property is both stressful and emotionally draining so we were happy to seek some help. Jo was amazing... her knowledge and advice was invaluable when finding and considering properties but also future planning and discovering opportunities within established properties we didn't see ourselves. Jo conducted all negotiations, keeping us well informed the whole way and took all the stress away... but more importantly she saved us an incredible amount of money! Thanks Jo ❤️❤️ |
Engaging Jo-Anne to guide and assist with purchasing our first home was the best thing we could have done.
New to the Australian property market we found Jo's knowledge, expertise and guidance invaluable. From the first meeting where Jo asked a lot of questions, got to know us and helped us in determining what really mattered to us, to the final meeting when a call on a Friday afternoon resulted in us purchasing our ideal home, Jo was there for us when we needed it.
Jo's patience and skill was evident a number of times when we found properties that seemed Ok, ticked some but not all of our needs & wants and in each case Jo seemed to know the right question to ask that helped us make the right call each time. Jo's honesty and frankness was appreciated, always there for a call about this or a question about that. It made the whole experience far less stressful and meant that when the right property became available, we got the right outcome!
Our sincerest thanks to Jo and Buyers Home Base

I'm so glad that I engaged Jo-Anne to help with purchasing my first home.
Admittedly, I didn't know what I was doing and felt like a "babe in the woods", so having professional support through what can be a stressful and harrowing process was invaluable.
Jo was patient with my evolving requirements, was happy to follow up any leads on properties I fancied (even if they were likely to be out of my range), and was quick and responsive. I felt like I was her only client - although I know I wasn't.
Not having to deal with selling agents is worth the money by itself!
What particularly impressed me about Jo was her integrity. At one point when I was confused about where I was at and what I wanted, we were poised on making an offer on a place that in hindsight really wasn't suitable for me. Jo had the nous to pick up that I wasn't certain and asked some excellent questions to help clarify things. She then allowed me to take a few months' hiatus while I got myself sorted, then was happy to pick up again once I was clearer.
I successfully bought a property only weeks later! And it's brilliant - I'm so happy. And I have no doubt that Jo's professional skills on auction day got me over the line. In tense auction situations, having someone level-headed to do the work for you is invaluable. I just had to go for a walk and wait for the call!
Thank you Jo and Buyers Home Base

We recently moved back to Victoria after a couple of years away interstate.
We used Buyers Home Base and Jo-Anne Davies was amazing support. Her professionalism, detail and confidence she provided us during the process was greatly appreciated, particularly at a time moving states and buying our new house 3 days before Christmas!
We can thoroughly recommend Buyers Home base to anyone who wants to get a great deal done for that home you have always wanted.
Thank you Jo-Anne for doing all the ground work for us!

I just wanted to thank Jo for her amazing hard work.
I was looking to purchase my first home and not being from Victoria, Jo was able to step me through the whole process. In the end Jo found me an amazing apartment through a private sale. If it wasn’t for Jo I would never have found the property!
Thank you so much, I would recommend Jo to any first home buyer unsure of the property market. Her knowledge, support and guidance throughout the house hunting made the whole process much easier. I could not have done it without her! Thanks again Jo much appreciated.

It was our first time buying a property and Jo-Anne Davies was nothing short of brilliant from start to finish.
Very informative and good to deal with, she helped us through an amazingly tight schedule to get our top priority property.
A big thank you for getting us across the line!

Jo-Anne Davies of Buyer's Home Base was referred to us and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for expert advice and support in buying a Melbourne home.
We sought out her expertise for 3 main reasons and we're glad that we did:
1. We did not know the Melbourne neighbourhoods or schools.
2. We needed assistance through an auction process.
3. We needed an advocate who could leverage her real estate connections to get inside information on prices, properties, and more.
We bought our home about 1-2 months after connecting with Jo-Anne. Our neighbourhoods, schools, and amenities / area services are fantastic.
As we needed some renovations done, she also provided us a recommendation to get started. This referral did not cost us a cent! Other agents may get a referral fee only if they recommend certain people. We felt Jo-Anne recommended the best company for our job (full stop).
We are on track to have a beautifully finished home only about 4 months after starting with Buyer's Home Base.
Thank you for your invaluable support Jo-Anne!

A huge thanks to Jo-Anne Davies who made my property dream a reality!
If there was an award for "Most patient human being", there'd be no contenders against Jo-Anne. I had very specific requirements for a property which made it incredibly difficult to find one on the market within my budget. Jo-Anne was relentless though, regularly calling agents on all of the properties we looked into, giving me advice and keeping in regular, and proactive, contact with me.
Jo-Anne seriously proved herself last weekend when I finally purchased a property! We thought the house would go for too much so focused on other houses, but it looks like others did the same as we did! After being passed in, Jo-Anne ran around calling the agent and a conveyancer to get the low-down, as well as to ensure I had my ducks in a row before making an offer. She patiently walked through the house with me later than afternoon, and supported me in making a very reasonable offer.
There's absolutely no way I would have been able to get ready to make an offer on a property within 5 hours of it being passed in!! Jo-Anne made it happen!
I'm incredibly appreciative of the fact that I was referred to Jo-Anne.
Thank you so much Jo-Anne. I really appreciate you helping make my property dream come true!

As a first home buyer, it was invaluable to have Buyers Home Base working with us to find the right home. Searching for, negotiating and perhaps bidding on property was not something I looked forward to. Jo-Anne was helpful from the very beginning, listening to our needs, the types of properties we were drawn to, and also providing suggestions we hadn’t thought of.
Jo-Anne was always available, and helped to answer all of our questions along the way, and being a first-time buyer we had many.
Without any experience in the real-estate market, and knowing we must be careful when speaking with real-estate agents, having someone who was honest and experienced on our side was so beneficial. Jo-Anne put things into perspective and made a big task manageable. She helped us narrow our search and focus on the properties that really did meet our needs and budget.
We found the perfect home, knew straight away, and Jo-Anne was on hand to give us the right advice on how to make the offer, then liaised with the estate-agents on our behalf. With her knowledge and guidance, she placed our one and only offer, was successful and we will soon move into our dream home.
Each encounter with Buyers Home Base left us feeling at ease. I would recommend Jo-Anne and Buyers Home Base to anyone buying property; from first home buyers to investors.

Jo-Anne's support and advice throughout the buying process was invaluable. Her communication was fantastic and allowed my partner and I to feel as though we were being supported the whole time. We would not buy another property without her help.
Thank you Jo-Anne!

The lovely Jo-Anne Davies assisted my parents in selling the family home of 50+ years. The transaction from start to finish was seamless, lucrative and completely painless - an off market sale made everything so simple and completely stress free for my parents. Jo-Anne expertly managed the relationship between them and the agent and they were so delighted knowing the family who bought the house will give it the happy future it deserves.
Thank you Jo - we couldn't be happier with the results.

We can’t thank Jo-Anne enough for her assistance in both selling our property and buying our new home. Jo was amazing to work with – she was professional, honest, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and had great market intel. Jo was always available and went over and above the service level that we anticipated. Nothing was ever too hard. She made what can be an extremely stressful process so much easier.
We are over the moon with the end result of our sale and purchase. We highly recommend Jo to anybody looking to sell their property or buy a property. Especially those that are time poor and don’t have experience in the real estate industry. It really is worth the investment which by the way is much less than we thought it would be.
Thanks again Jo!

Jo made buying our first house much less stressful.
She did all the work contacting agents and made sure we were looking at the right places. Having her take the stress away from bidding in the auction was worth the entire fee.

We are so grateful to Jo-Anne Davies for helping us finally find our perfect family home!! She helped us focus our search when we had no idea where to start, motivated us to keep looking when it all seemed too hard, and ultimately found us a fabulous place off-market, in a suburb that we love!! Jo was always really responsive and easy to get a hold of, and regularly followed up with agents on our behalf, without us having to ask. She saved us so much time and angst by doing the follow-ups and negotiation for us, and made us feel comfortable about making such a huge investment. Thanks Jo - honestly not sure that we would have got there without you!

After months of searching, it took Jo and David just 8 days to secure us a home.
For those who want to know what it's like, imagine having a real-estate parent holding your hand and setting realistic expectations. It was just that easy.
Cannot recommend Buyers Home Base enough.

WOW What can we say!! We were so impressed! Just wanted to send our heartfelt thanks to Jo-Anne who helped us purchase our first home on Friday! After months and months of looking we were recommended to speak to Buyers Home Base, Jo and Julie came to our house after hours at a time that suited us and made us feel so comfortable and confident, that we knew immediately that we wanted to take them up on their services even before the end of the conversation.
The stress that Jo took out of our life was invaluable, from going to open house inspections on our behalf to liaising directing with the real estate agents to get a proper gage, to coming to an auction with us to see what it went for and consoling me when the water works came on, I thought all hope was lost to be honest by the time we meet them both! It was a long 6 months of heartache and wasted time before we found these life savers!
We found another house that we LOVED, of course but we didn't want to get our hopes up, Jo called the agent and arranged an afterhours inspection on our behalf, she then arranged another time for herself to go through and she too fell in love! Julie came to our house again afterhours to get us to fill in the contract of sale so that Jo could go and personally deliver the offer the next day! Still not wanting to get our hopes up, we waited for the news... On Friday afternoon, less than 24 hours after putting our offer in we had a call from Jo saying everything looked hopeful, we continued to liaise with Jo who was liaising with the real estate and then an hour later we got the call that the vendor had accepted OUR offer!!! There were tears of joy of course and lots of screaming!! Jo then told us step by step what to do and arranged for us to go into the office and officially sign the paper work! We were signing the paperwork and putting the sold sign up less than 24 hours after making an official offer!
We honestly do not believe we would have been successful in purchasing our dream home if it wasn't for Jo and her hard work, guidance and determination! She let me bounce ideas off her and gave me so much advice it was truly invaluable! I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Buyers Home Group and have already handed out Jo's card to friends! Thank you so much again Jo and Julie, we will be forever grateful for your services and cannot thank you enough! The joy in your voices when were successful was so heart-warming, we can tell you both love doing what you do and truly helping people!
Thank you again
