Testimonials

What our clients say about Patrice

“We recently engaged Locate to secure a holiday home on the Sunshine Coast for us, knowing Patrice had lived there for quite some time before. Being two busy working professionals, and working in the industry myself we knew the task would be impossible without the guidance from a professional. Although we had already found the property early in the engagement, Patrice attended a number of inspections so we had a good feel on the market”…

What really made the experience for us was how warm and friendly they were throughout the”…

It has been a stress-free process, and I cannot”…

It’s testament to Shane’s positive outlook that he was happy to take on the challenge of working with us – we’d been looking for a long time. He and his team were recommended”…

Patrice has such a bubbly personality, she’ll make grocery shopping very fun. I had never dealt with a buyer’s agent before. I am not sure about the others, but I will definitely deal with Locate again. Very professional and personable.”…
