Editorial context
Working with a provider in Melbourne – what matters
When choosing a real estate agent in Melbourne, first establish which service is required: sales, leasing, ongoing rental management or project marketing. Core Realty lists residential and commercial property services alongside project marketing, while its team page also documents property management roles. These activities involve different requirements for client support, marketing and reporting. Prospective clients should therefore ask who will handle their property and what the proposed service includes.
For an apartment in Melbourne or Southbank, it is useful to discuss experience with comparable properties and the immediate neighbourhood. The listings shown on the website provide an initial indication, but do not replace a review of relevant examples. When requesting an appraisal, ask for an explanation of the comparable properties used, the pricing assumptions and the proposed marketing strategy. An appraisal should be distinguished from a separate formal valuation.
Owners planning to let a property should clarify whether the appointment covers tenant placement alone or subsequent management as well. Relevant questions include fees, spending approvals, the handling of maintenance requests and the frequency of updates. For commercial properties and projects, ask about comparable assignments previously handled.
Google reviews can offer indications of communication and service quality. However, the supplied selection does not represent every client experience. A clearly documented scope of work, transparent costs and an approach suited to the property should be central to the appointment decision.

Core Realty is one of the best real estate agencies I’ve ever dealt with. Everything was well organised, scheduled properly, and prepared in advance. We’ve rented an apartment in Melbourne through them for the past three years and built a great relationship with Elaine Yeo, who has always been ready to help. If we ever move back to Melbourne, I’ll definitely choose Core Realty again.
I have been with Core Realty for several years and have always been very happy with their service. The team is friendly, polite, professional and responsive. I would like to commend my property manager, Elaine Yeo, for the exceptional quality of her service. She is always approachable, helpful, and available whenever I need assistance. I truly appreciate her care and dedication, and I would happily recommend Core Realty to others.
Outstanding Agent. Highly Recommend! Corene guided me through the current market with confidence and clarity. She worked extremely hard throughout the campaign and delivered a great result. Her communication was prompt and her professionalism & work ethic were outstanding. I am very glad I chose to work with her and her team again, having previously purchased this same property through her years ago. A great agent and a valuable part of the Melbourne real estate community.
We have worked with Core Realty since 2020. They have consistently provide professional assistance and excellent support to us. They provide very relevant and useful updates on market trends n prospective renters. I like to commend Core Realty on their excellent services rendered to us in particular Shaskya and Kaylie as they have put in good effort in succeeding to market our apartment.
I had a great experience with Core Realty. Elaine Yeo was very helpful, patient, and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly and made the whole process much smoother and less stressful. Really appreciate her support – would happily recommend Elaine and the team!

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
