What our clients say
Aarthi was such an amazing guide through this selling process. What we loved most was how she took time to understand how we saw our cute little cottage and integrated our story with all the marketing. The photos, video and description were not only authentic, but captured our tone and highlighted how much we loved our house. It sold in a week and the process was seamless and trouble free. Aarthi and her whole team showed patience, kindness and professionalism throughout the whole experience.

We recently purchased our first property through Aarthi, and she was extremely helpful throughout what can be a very stressful process. She guided us every step of the way, made everything easy to understand, and ensured we were able to successfully purchase the property. We couldn’t have asked for better support as first-home buyers.

Aarthi was incredible. She supported us through the entire selling process and made everything feel easy and well-managed. We achieved a fantastic price and sold after just one open home. Reliable, kind, and exceptional at what she does, she has fantastic knowledge of the local area and market - and it made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother sale!

I’ve rented two properties through Sandgate Realestate and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. Their communication has always been clear, professional and timely. The whole team has been understanding and easy to deal with throughout both tenancies. A special mention to my landlord Brock, he’s an absolute legend! Truly one of the best renting experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend

Aarthi from Sandgate Real Estate is dedicated to her job and clients. We met Aarthi 9 months ago and we informed her what we were after. We hadn't been having much luck with buying until one day Aarthi contacts us and calls us informing of a house that meets all our requirements for buying. She has exceptional communication skills and very professional but also very much personalised in finding the right house for her clients. We had been looking for a while and it wasn't until we met Aarthi we would probably still be looking. We have since purchased a wonderful home. Both the selling and buying process was nothing but smooth sailing and Aarthi, gets the job done. We would highly recommend her.
