Tony was rude, condescending and unprofessional from the first phone call. Knew nothing about the property I enquired about and became extremely agitated when I asked questions. Listed the dimensions of the property incorrectly - again became very agitated when I questioned this. Worst of all, he didn’t follow up with my offer so the seller… Read more
accepted 25% less than I would have paid - great work Tony I didn’t feel comfortable dealing with him or that he deserved a cent of commission on the property.
Appalled at lack care – It's terrible to deal with. Property management is appalling. Serious health and safety hazards with wires everywhere in the backyard. I feel like they are just collecting money but dont know the properties. In fact, Led stated this when i was speaking to him. He did not know the property and had not checked it. It seems no one else did either. No… Read more
washingline for clothes. There is no air conditioning and no date for installation. No matter how many times i ask. They dont care. Communication is slow and often missing vital information. The property we rented is disgusting. The Lawns overgrown, things not clean. Missing plugs for sinks and bath. As property managers they should check the property and make sure things are working. Huge weeds everywhere. Rubbish Bin with no lid. We moved from overseas, so we had to rely on video walk through. Never do this.
Great experience!! – The team at alpha residential were fantastic and the communication was excellent. Tony sold my property quickly and for above what I was expecting. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alpha Residential to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Avoid at all costs – Unprofessional and horrendous service. Don't answer or return calls from either prospective purchasers or vendor, say they have off market buyers when they don't and over estimates what you will get for your property to get the listing, then when you get much lower offers asks you why you think you are getting them and tells you to take it. Avoid at all costs!
Extremelly unprofessional – No one from this firm returns phone calls, receptionist extremely rude and hung up on me after yelling at me information that was proven incorrect on their part. Tony is extremely condescending and became upset when I refused to sign an unconditional contract.
Evil liar samantha – MADE PURCHASING our home from samantha a nightmare she's a liar and just doesn't care never retun calls and very rude and unpleasant and unprofessional stay away from this people don't know how their still operating.
Unprofessional and unreliable service – Purchasing a new dream home should be exciting, however we found it terribly stressful and had trouble with communication, non returned phonecalls, always in meetings, had to do all the chasing, lots of lies, left us in the lurch, no warm and fuzzy congratulations on your new home, no meeting us at the house, left our keys, electric fence and… Read more
electric roller door in a pot plant in the hot sun at their office which we had to go and collect.. Disgusting is an understatement! Stressful and emotional time with NO support or reassurance from them. Not impressed
Bad service – Didn't answer calls, got details of my home wrong in the for sale add. Not listening properly to seller. Didn't take notes of property's good points for sale, reticulation , elecric blinds ect Over estimated what we would get for our home by $40,000 , and tried to get us to sell for $100,00 less than his estimated price. He left our house keys in… Read more
a plant box outside his office for the new owners to pick up. Would not recommend this lot to anyone .
Don’t waste your time – Enquired about a house for sale and the admin team took a message to pass on to the agent. The agent never returned my calls or emails. When I finally got through to the agent they lied about the house’s availability, as it had actually been taken off the market but they told me otherwise. Told me they would get back to me and never did. Complete waste of my time and effort.
Time wasters – Samantha had arranged an inspection for a unit at Camden Park to which we went to. She came informing us that the inspection was cancelled as the tenant in the property had a cold. She promised to contact us with a new inspection date. We now found out that this property is under contract. She never bothered to contact us again and we now believe that she had an interesting offer just before the inspection. Unprofessional.
I love the effort and attention – Samantha put in a lot of effort to sell my mother's house. I am always accessible to answer questions and offer guidance. Please do not hesitate to hire Samantha, Samantha, and Tony the Auctioneer for real estate services.
Knowledgeable about the market! – They were knowledgeable about the industry and provided excellent service with a friendly demeanour. I'm ecstatic to say the least! I worked with Tony and Samantha at Alpha Residential to purchase a home. As my real estate agents, they have provided me with the best service possible.
Best experience!! – Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with. Delivered beyond expectations with a minimum of fuss and no inconvenience. If you are looking for an agent would highly recommend Samantha and Alpha Real Estate. When we are next in the market Samantha will be the first person I call.

Exceptional!! – A real estate agent who finished the job, collaborated with us, and kept us informed throughout the process. Samantha Mckee is an exceptional real estate agent. She will surely be of assistance to you in the buying of your home.
Very Straightforward – Samantha was fantastic to deal with and made a challenging situation seem smoother. Everything was done on time and everything was straight forward. Thank you so much Alpha Residential for the support!!
They are very approachable!! – Sam is fantastic! Great communication, advice and was very honest with what I needed to do to achieve the price wanted. Her recommendations to sell the home were spot on and I believe she help achieve the best price possible. She is extremely approachable and friendly and will do her best to help.
I love the service! would recommend! – She is always prompt in responding to my queries and assisting me in achieving my goal of purchasing my first house!!! Samantha Mckee is recommended to those people who are looking to buy their home
Love my house and service was great – I bought a house through Alpha Real Estate dealing with both Tony and Samantha. Although the communication was brief I found the process with them both to be very efficient and professional. To be honest this is the first home I have bought and am not familiar with the process but they both made it very easy for me. I only have 2 very small… Read more
issues, 1 that the for sale sign was left up without a even a sold sticker for a couple of weeks after I had moved in, to their credit the moment I mentioned it, the sign was removed within 24hours and there was no remote left for the garage door left with the property, which may not have been their fault but I would have liked to have been informed. Overall though genuinely a great process with a professional and friendly agency. A special mention should also go out to Renee on the front desk who was welcoming, personable and a lovely person to deal with.
Avoid at all costs – Alpha Residential is the worse company I have ever experienced. Total time wasters. They had a open inspection for a property today and the agents never showed. When one guy called [Name Removed] he was told that the agent has just left and the guy was there from the start of the open time and no one was there. When questioned [Name Removed]'s… Read more
response was oh sorry I didn't see the open today. Absolute liar. How can you not see an open for your company, very poor to begin with and further more actually lie about being there. When we turned up at 10.55 the gates were locked and only the guy that was waiting from the start was present. Advertisement is also poor as it doesn't specify that it is just the back part of the land that the owner wants to subdivide in the future etc. Anyone would think that it would be a house that is in poor condition and needs demolishing as well as the land and selling as full land value. Selling what is only the small backyard for an asking price of $150,000 then have to demolish the already carport and garage etc that you can see through the gap of the gate when standing there, is absolutely ludicrous. It would cost easily over $300,000 to buy the land, clear and build something new minimum. It is in Elizabeth not Enfield. See this company run far far away
Very disappointing practice – Question their practice - I participated in what was essentially a silent auction. I put in an offer well above the set asking price range for a property at the first open inspection. The agent stressed urgency suggesting others had offered higher than the asking price but left me guessing what I needed to offer. I was not given the opportunity to… Read more
negotiate or counter offer which I definitely would have done. This process surely did not give the vendors the best price for their property and left me very disappointed in their practice.
Great service – Tony and Samantha worked hard to achieve the satisfactory sale of our home. We requested a private sale, and they only brought through genuine buyers in our price range. We found them to be friendly and professional , and were excellent negotiators.
Consider this a warning - walk away – Very disappointed in my experience with Alpha Residential. I had to let tell them of so many errors, including simple errors like the spelling of the suburb, in the advertisement, they left lights on after inspections and didn’t set the alarm as well (and also set it off). They also did not get me anywhere near the price I wanted, a price they… Read more
told me was achievable, and even charged me for the sold sticker (despite the contract saying flat fee and photos only). Consider this a warning. Samantha and Tony are both all talk, and Tony is really an aggressive bully, communicates when he wants and how he wants. I would not recommend them at all, my entire experience after I signed the contract was negative.
Please note that since posting this review, the sold sticker fee was refunded, but legal action was also threatened due to writing review.

Vendor Beware!!! Not showing up on scheduled open inspection, didn't reply to calls, texts, emails – Not showing up on scheduled open inspection, didn't reply to calls, texts, emails. Google's review seems I'm not the only one experienced these. Not sure how they are going to help the Vendor to sell with this type of attitude. Definitely not gonna let them sell my house in the future.
Great customer service – The team at alpha were very professional and handled my scenario well with a positive outcome. I would recommend them.
Viewing – We viewed a house [name removed] had no paperwork, no R3 forms displayed which is a big no. We offered and was almost told the price again big no. I would reckon the good reviews are made by them, seriously the lack of knowledge and couldn't care factor thrown in i am going to avoid any viewings they are doing. Don't return calls either absolute… Read more
crap.
We pulled our offer and after reading these reviews I'm glad wouldn't trust him as far as i could throw him.
He should be reported as people like that give the industry a bad name.
Avoid this agent like the plague
Pushy, Unprofessional, Terrible – We had 3 different unfortunate occasions where we have to face them. They are late all 3 times! Unapologetic and as if they were obliging us by showing us the property. They have lied to us, misrepresented facts on more than one occasion and justifies their action by saying it will be unfair for other. We requested private inspection if… Read more
possible. We were told it will be unfair for other buyers, come at open when we declare on realestate.com.au and when we visit on open inspection, we are told we had an offer because of private inspection they had two days ago. how pathetic is that Tony!!!
On occasion, we asked for the offer form and we were not given because they want us to put offer there and than!!! Their excuse was they are showing owner offers that night and they pretty much wanted no one else gets opportunity unless they do it there and than.
Very rude, pushy and unprofessional. We are pretty much avoiding all properties where they are agents.
One buyer might not deter them but i have couple more people who has shared similar experiences.
My 2 cents. Good luck and happy house hunting :)
Great service and results – Tony was very friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work with. He did everything he could to sell my property considering I only gave him a 2 week window to do so. I was very impressed with the price we obtained. It was what we were wishing for, but honestly thought we would never get. I would like to thank Tony for a great job. I would also like to mention Samantha, she was also fantastic with communicating. GREAT JOB!!!!!
Worst Real Estate We Have Ever Dealt With – Very unprofessional, calls not returned and found them to be very unhelpful. We would never use this Real Estate again. The Director of this Real Estate is a joke and you really need to do your homework and not take him at his word. Never Again!
Sold on first open – I found Alpha Residential agents and staff very friendly and easy to get on with. Our home was sold after the first open, and the price was even a little higher then our target. Very smooth.
Real Estate - sales – Alpha Residential delivers! The team’s focused strategy, attention to detail, and assertive marketing generated a quick sale and a smooth settlement. We’ve bought and sold a succession of houses over the last thirty years, so we know what we’re looking for in an agent. As their name suggests, Alpha is number one in our books!
Unprofessional, bad service – We were misled, lied to, phone calls were not returned, contracts were unclear & poorly administrated by this company which claims to be a "boutique" agency - more like "Bad" agency...incredibly bad service experienced here. We are telling the world about our bad service and dealings with this unprofessional so called "director".
