Cass

We reached out to YPA after an unsuccessful campaign with another agent. Ricky was very professional, to the point and very honest. He worked hard selling our home to the potential buyers and really pushed to get the price we were satisfied with. We ended up selling after 4 weeks with YPA. Which was amazing considering the current market. Ricky has a good knowledge of the area, which helped get offers over the line. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to sell, to reach out to YPA.

He gave us lots of info regarding nearby college, playground and other tips like faster route I think Ricky went the extra mile to negotiate with the vendor for us to get this house. He demonstrated dedication to his work and also friendly and helpful towards us the buyers. Thank you to Shane as well for his reference to Jade in helping us with the loan. You all portrayed a wonderful team of Real Estate who went above and beyond to please the client. Thank you again.

Varshana P

Kathleen and I are extremely proud and delighted to have chosen YPA Melton to sell our property, recently. We chose YPA Melton because, for a very long period of time on our daily “walks “ around the Arnold Creek Sports & Public School area we could not fail to see:- The number of properties “On the Market” (via YPA) and the relatively short time they were ON the market. BUT, we also could see that you and your sales staff, at YPA, were gaining MAXIMUM Sale price for your vendors. Kath. And I, studied the market and gained a good “feel” for the most sensible price points. So.....It became clear to us when we decided to SELL and move-on, that YPA was and IS the best partner for anyone wishing to sell property in the YPA target area. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending YPA Melton to any prospective property vendor. The experience, for us ,was one of sheer joy and thanks to you and your team for your Professional, Warm, Honest dealings with Kath. And Myself.

William & Kathleen Lundy

The entire team led by Ricky Frew were polite, well-mannered and very easy to talk to. Ricky showed an excellent knowledge of the Melton area and the local housing market. He demonstrated honesty and integrity, keeping us well informed throughout the process of the sale

Grenville & Maureen Kerton

Just bought a house through them. Fantastic service @Ricky. Very professional yet friendly and approachable. Was more than happy to accommodate us to visit the place several times on late nights or weekends. Hoping for an opportunity to work together again.

Tejas Belvalkar

Incredible experience Ricky was a dream to work with! Always responsive and made selling my first home a breeze. Will be back in future and thanks a bunch Ricky

Madison Stalker

Exceptional Service I had an amazing experience with Ricky. From the beginning he was very friendly and welcoming which put the stress of selling my house at ease. Communication would have had to be one of the highlights during my experience. Ricky kept me in the know and always communicated any interest or feedback after an open house. It is very obvious that he has a profound knowledge base in realestate which made me feel very confident in his work. I will be recommending him to everyone and anyone when selling their home. Thankyou for such a personable and seamless experience Ricky!

Sarah

Miroslav & Branka Pajic

Ricky was very enthusiastic and ready to answer any questions that I had about the properties we looked at. If there was anything uncertain he’d find out for me and responded very quickly, even outside of regular business hours. His communication was top notch, and even went out of his way to secure me a private inspection on short notice.

Morgan Khuu

Ricky did everything he said he would do. He remained in contact without being pushy and delivered us a property we were looking for. He is very professional.

Russell Corcoran

Ricky and the YPA team were a hoot! I could not have asked for a better group to be at the helm of putting my property on the market and turning it over, they simply know how to get it done and make you feel comfortable and engaged every step of the way. The level of professionalism certainly exceeded every expectation. Ricky was very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks mate!! Super highly recommended !!
