Michael C.

Working with Cate and her team was a genuinely pleasant experience. From the very beginning, the process was clearly outlined, which gave us confidence and clarity about each step ahead. Cate’s long experience with the Melbourne market was clear in the quality of her insights and advice, and the updates on properties were always detailed and provided all of the information we were looking for.
The team combined deep market knowledge with professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. Cate was proactive in arranging inspections, researching thoroughly, and negotiating strongly on our behalf, all while keeping the experience smooth and stress-free.
We are absolutely thrilled with the property that we purchased, and we feel confident that it was the right decision thanks to Cate and her team. Even after the purchase, they have followed up regularly and supported us through to the property management stage, which has been invaluable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Cate and her team to anyone seeking a professional, reliable, and supportive property buyer’s advocate.

Cate, Renee, and the team at Cate Bakos Property were exceptional buyer’s advocates. Cate’s knowledge of the market was clear from the start, with a tailored strategy and thorough analysis for every property we considered. Her reports covered every detail, from comparable sales to zoning and neighbourhood checks, giving us complete confidence.

She was always responsive and provided detailed walk-through videos that made remote inspections easy. Cate’s strong relationships with selling agents and her expert representation on auction day secured our dream home. Even better, every professional that Cate recommended, was equally as fantastic! From there, Renee and the team ensured a smooth path to settlement. The whole process efficient and expertly managed!

We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again and recommend them to anyone wanting genuine expertise, clear strategy, and outstanding support!

My husband and I recently worked with Cate Bakos and her team to purchase a property through our SMSF, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. I had been listening to Cate’s podcast, The Property Trio, for the past three years and felt confident that her approach and knowledge were exactly what we needed—and she did not disappoint.

From our initial strategy session through to securing the property and even placing a tenant, Cate and her boutique agency were nothing short of outstanding. Her deep local knowledge of the Victorian market and strong relationships with local agents made us feel our investment was in very capable hands. Cate was incredibly professional, fast-moving (even negotiating for us while going through customs on a plane!), and always available when we needed guidance.

A special mention also to Renee, who was equally responsive and supportive. Together, their coordination made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and enjoyable. I usually like to be in control of every detail, but Cate's confidence, communication, and proven expertise made it easy to trust the process.

Thanks to Cate and her team, we now have a fantastic investment property that aligns perfectly with our long-term goals. Every professional she recommended—from the conveyancers to the building inspector and property manager—shared the same level of excellence and care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cate Bakos Property to anyone looking to invest with confidence.

Working with Cate and her team — Renee and Pip — was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I had been following Cate for quite some time through The Property Trio podcast, which gave me deep confidence in her values, knowledge, and practical approach to property investment. When I decided to engage her to assist in purchasing an investment property, she and her team exceeded every expectation I had.

Throughout the process, from initial search through to final settlement, Cate and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, diligence, and deep market expertise. Cate’s strategic insight and negotiation skills were particularly impressive, playing a crucial role in securing a favourable outcome. The entire process felt seamless and well-managed, thanks to the team’s collaborative effort and attention to detail.

This is a group that clearly knows their craft, and they go above and beyond to deliver results. I would not hesitate to recommend Cate and her team to anyone looking to make a confident and well-informed property investment decision.

Cate, and her team at Cate Bakos Property, were amazing to deal with! It took the hassle out of property listing ourselves and Cate was able to define our list of properties by doing all the necessary checks that we didn't know we needed to know!! Cate made it simple! She was with us every step of the way, made us feel super comfortable, and we found the perfect home!

I had the pleasure of working with Cate and her team for the purchase of my North Ballarat investment property and am very pleased with the level of service I received. Cate and her team were incredibly responsive to any issues during the purchase process, and often were able to provide advice on things that occurred. I spent the day with Cate searching for the property and was advised to steer away from our original property we had our eye on due to building issues, which was something I wouldn’t have picked up on myself. As someone who was time poor and needed the knowledge and advice at the time of purchase, I believe this was money well spent to ensure I could properly purchase a quality investment property.

Thank you, Cate and team, for your professionalism, support, and genuine care throughout the process. I truly appreciate all your hard work and couldn’t have done it without you.
