End of lease nightmare – I rented the apartment unit for over 2 years. The agency was under Mint360. The apartment is located in Eastwood but their office is in Randwick.… Read more

Before I moved in, we completed an outgoing condition report with pictures, noting that the kitchen benchtop had a chip. However, they transferred this cost to me based on the ongoing condition report. Even after sending them the photo taken 2 years ago, they forwarded the bill to the repairer. Despite arguing with them and them taking a few days to review the report, they eventually declined the claim and still billed me. I'm tired of waiting and their rude responses have caused me stress and sleepless nights. This agent is clearly biased towards the landlord and sides with them to the detriment of the tenant. I opted for the end-of-lease cleaning recommended by them. Despite the cleaning service being double the price of other companies, I chose it to avoid any potential issues. However, the cleaning was still unsatisfactory, requiring the cleaner to return three times. Therefore, I advise tenants currently renting from this agent not to use their recommended cleaners. The results are likely to be subpar, and their recommendations are significantly overpriced, almost double that of other options.

forward it's 2026 and now Cubbi has upgraded to sending me text messages too about my property. Do you really think my property would be left unrented all this time? I don't even have access to the account, why am I getting enquiry messages from people after 8 years? Stop sending me messages/emails Cubbi and take my listing down already. Using my property to boost their listings, it's just fraudulent and I bet these reviews are all from bots too.

We have been stuck with this company since June 2025. They promised to show us a property within 15 days or return our money. It's been 6 months, and… Read more

nothing has happened. I asked them not to show us properties with mobile towers in the vicinity, and that is what they did, and I rejected it. After that, people moved out of the company, and I wanted to see properties close to Victoria so that I could inspect them myself as I lost trust in them. Then this [Name Removed] took over, she just googles properties that I can better google and sends them to me, does not bother if they match my criteria or not. She did not hold a single meeting with me. I am begging for my refund, no one cares, I have emailed them, called them, requested, begged, no reply to my emails or phone calls. So many people have changed in the mean time, Now, they do not return my email/call/whatsapp calls.

Please don't steal our hard-earned money. Please please please refund if no one is interested to do anything. I wish I could give -100 as the rating for all the trouble and trauma these people have caused me through these months. I will be taking action against you as a consumer, this is my first step, watch for it!

Do not buy or sell through Riverbank Merrylands. Steven Josevski and Jaiden Spencer are the most unprofessional and incompetent agents I've dealt… Read more

with.

The defining moment: I called Steven before settlement to express my displeasure with the whole process. His response, in his own words, was that he serves the vendors and has no obligation to provide a good buying experience to me. That attitude explains every other failure on this list. His motto of "Honesty, integrity and transparency" is the biggest contradiction if I've ever seen one.

Steven is the primary agent on the advertising but doesn't even list a mobile number, never showed up at inspections, and was basically unreachable. Jaiden yelled at me at our first interaction for arriving near the end of an inspection window — something I'd only done because nobody at their office answered a phone.

The property itself was disgusting at inspection — mould and algae in the showers, sewage smell in the bathrooms, holes drilled across the house, rubbish strewn through both yards, tenants' belongings blocking every access point so you couldn't even see the place properly. Jaiden's response? Tenants can keep the property however they like and it's not their place to question it. That is literally the managing agent's job.

Additional clauses had to be attached to the contract before I'd sign. Jaiden told me he couldn't do it and pushed me to sign as-is. I had to call Steven's office directly to force the issue.

Then came settlement, which Riverbank dragged out by failing to deliver vacant possession — their contractual responsibility. No proactive communication, just delays and excuses. I'd already served notice on my rental, so they had me cornered, and they knew it.

The end-of-lease clause we'd negotiated was ignored. The property was handed over with destroyed gas cooktop and rangehood (rust and oil literally dripping), filthy oven, sewage smell in the bathrooms, mouldy showers, rubbish on the premises, overgrown lawns, power points coming off the wall and sparking. Jaiden agreed with everything at the pre-settlement inspection. Then Steven had the audacity to walk through separately with the vendors, tenancy agent, and suggest REDUCING the agreed settlement figure because he was "impressed" by the condition.

Jaiden did grow to become more empathetic towards the end of the settlement, but unfortunately, failed in his duties as the selling agent.

By his own admission, Steven doesn't care about the buyer experience. Believe him. Steer clear — there are far better agents in the area. If there was a 0 star option, I would be selecting that.

Do not rely on LJ Hooker Padstow for your rental or property lease or buy. They are currently under legal investigations and a Fair Trading matter… Read more

for placing a tenant knowingly in hospital care under negligence for Mycotoxin Poisoning.

The Real Estate Property Agent is Shannon Edwards. She needs her licence revoked. She is taking commissions and leasing moldy homes and jeopardising tenants health. She has admitted all her rentals are full of mold and is continually taken to the tribunal by tenants for such matters. She is breaching her duty of care and her responsibilities as an Agent.

Shannon Edwards was witnessed verbally intimidating, abusing and swearing at the chronically ill tenant who went to hospital for her negligence for mold poisoning and she tried covering it up and she is in rehab fighting for her life.

The whole family is sick of mold poisoning and lost all their brand new belongings and savings for this woman and she did nothing about it. All their contents was tested by a Mold Hygienist and the Report sent to her and LJ Hooker Padstow, indicated a positive result of contamination from their rental onto their new property and her vehicle with 8 strains of dangerous mold. The victim cannot enter her new rental or vehicle which is now contaminated and under remediation.

Shannon Edwards and her team at LJ Hooker Padstow are taking rent and commissions and placing peoples health at risk in moldy homes, with evidence of severe mold infestation growth being covered up and painted over. They owe the victim an excess of $20,000 in replacement, remediation costs and living costs and are ignoring the family. They live in a hotel.

Tenants in the area and neighbours have complained this woman has been breeching her duty of care for years and lying to tenants for years. This particular home has been leased 3 times in one year making people sick and they did nothing to remediate it and now it is costing someone their life and disability savings. She lied to the tenant advising that it was leased for 10 years and was old and musty.

Shannon Edward’s has been reported to the Union and lack of responsibility by LJ Hooker Padstow and their negligence and to the Police. She has an Intimidation order against her.

Shameful and the community are concerned what this woman and the team at LJ Hooker Padstow are doing to tenants.

We hope she makes a good recovery and that justice is served.

Very professional but friendly. I particularly like how well they have chosen my tenants and how well they deal with my tenants. A great balance between protecting my interests while also looking after the tenants respectfully.

I thoroughly recommend CY as landlord leasing agents and property managers

poor communication, lack of follow-up, and weak organisation. I have had to repeatedly chase them for updates and action over several weeks.

For an issue as important as insurance, I expected a much more professional and proactive approach. Based on my experience, I would not feel confident leaving my property under their management.

As they risk leaving properties uninsured for lack of payment due to the lack of commitment and poor management

by the "Customer Service Specialist" after I did an online inquiry regarding their Platform. I Payed $1200 only to be advertised to pay more for a higher ranked listing, so my $1200 doesn't put me in the Game so I have to pay more to be seen, Why ??? I had to chase up the flyers that are included repeatedly so did a professional sign myself through my Sign-Writer. I'd recieve weekly Stats that are completely dubious to say the least as I've never had a call or email yet their Stats claim otherwise and their attached survey regarding these Statistics has never Opened Once and for a reason as this Platform is a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY for me I've listed with an Agent as I don't want the Property to go Stagnant I was advised bt a Property Valuer and never be able to sell it..

I engaged Metropole for their Strategic Property Plan, expecting a premium, team-based service as advertised. What I received instead was a generic… Read more

plan with minimal follow-up or meaningful engagement. For a fee of $4,675, I expected ongoing strategic input and a collaborative approach across accounting, finance, and property advisory. Instead, their recommended accountant was unreliable, and I ultimately had to rebuild my entire team independently.

Despite clearly communicating my dissatisfaction and lack of value received, Metropole refused to refund the fee—even though I never proceeded with the plan or received ongoing support. Their justification was that the plan was "delivered" and "hosted on a platform." That level of service, in my view, does not justify the price tag.

Since moving to KHI, I’ve received a comprehensive, integrated, and genuinely helpful property strategy at no additional cost—and already purchased my first property with their support. I would not recommend Metropole to anyone looking for a genuine end-to-end wealth creation strategy.
