Your Agents

We are about surrounding ourselves with great agents who want to do exceptional things. Its not about the individual, its about the collaboration.
Our approach to real estate is different – you are not getting one agent, you are getting the whole team.

Meet the Team

Supportive, Professional & Truly One of a Kind

We honestly cannot recommend this team enough. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream team to work with. Genuine, kind, informative, professional and also so much fun and incredibly personable. We were completely green to the whole process of selling a home, but we felt prioritised, supported, and informed every step of the way. Nothing ever felt too hard, and they always took the time to guide us through everything with patience and care. The media team also did an incredible job capturing our home and all the little things that made it so special. Combined with the unmatched social media reach, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Not only did they achieve an outstanding result selling our home, but they also continued to offer guidance and support as we moved into our next chapter, something we are so genuinely grateful for. Thank you both for everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Outstanding Experience

When selling one of your largest assets, you want the best. We interviewed Paige & Dee to see if they were interested in taking on this big task and they stood out above all the others on the spot. Their knowledge and non-pushy, calm, professionalism had us sold.
When it came to the marketing packages, theirs was well above the rest with a fresh approach that stood out from the others. This was already evident from what we had seen with their current listings online.
Exceptional!

It was a pleasure working with Paige and Dee! They always delivered clear and direct communication and updates from the campaign to the final sale. The portal and IT that Collab has produced is also amazing to deal with and so easy an functional, a real mind easer. Will be recommending to anyone wanting a real estate agent that produces results.
-Matt
Dynamic Duo

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Professional, honest, and genuinely caring, Paige and Dee made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The Marketing was on point and were able to swiftly get a result we were more than happy with. They were a pleasure to work with and Highly recommended!
-Andra & Andrew
Vendors & Purchasers

Our experience with selling and buying property with Paige and Dee far exceeded our expectations. We found them both to be professional, friendly, and realistic in their advice and guidance to us. They sold our house on the day of its first open home, and found us the perfect new home, at a price we were very happy with. It all felt too easy really - perhaps this was because behind the scenes we had Megan Craig available as a sounding board to alleviate all those worries and wonderings you have when shopping for a new home. We can thoroughly recommend Paige and Dee from Collab as agents to sell your house, and feel confident that they also have skill in securing you with the perfect next home.
