Achieved Over $3,000,000 For Our Property
★★★★★
We knew Nik and Aika after meeting them while we lived at Riparian Plaza. They seemed like a dynamic duo with a positive, "can-do" attitude. They sold our Riparian Plaza apartment in a market for over $3 million when no others were able to achieve a sale above $3 million in the building since Nik's last sale at Riparian over 10 years ago. They proved to be very responsive to any of our requests, day or night, and worked to meet deadlines.
With such an excellent result, we engaged them to sell a waterfront property we owned in Birkdale. Their drive, work ethic and enthusiasm achieved great results for our two transactions and we strongly recommend 'Team Seirlis' to anyone also looking to great results on the sale of their property.”

Quick and Seamless Off-Market Record Sale
★★★★★
“When Nik & Aika approached us on a Tuesday asking if we were interested in selling off-market, we knew they had a serious buyer.
They have a solid reputation for working with high-net-worth individuals and completing deals. By Thursday evening we had a signed, unconditional contract in our hands.
The whole experience was one of ease, competence and professionalism. The team made the process seamless, we were never rushed and most importantly, we were very happy with the outcome of our sale.”

Highly Recommend as Buyers Agents
★★★★★
“Dealing with Nik and Aika was easy. They are both highly competent, well connected, and go the extra mile to assist with all aspects of the sale.
We engaged Nik as a buyers’ agent for a very specific type of purchase, and would never have been able to make it happen without his connections and ability to bring things together.
After the property was settled, Nik and Aika continued to assist with dealing with some of the idiosyncrasies of the property, liaising with body corporate, and more. I would highly recommend North South Prestige for any high-end property purchases in SEQ.”
— Andrew K, Buyer’s Advocacy Client

Insight into how best to present the home to achieve the best outcome was proactively shared.
Emphasis was placed on buyers with the financial capacity to fulfill the transaction, thereby removing the anxiety that upon accepting the offer, there was little chance of it falling over.”

Pleasure to Deal With
★★★★★
“Recently we met Nik and Aika at an inspection of a property. They enquired as to our needs and quietly and sincerely explained how the property we were inspecting met our needs in every detail.
They guided us through the purchasing process gently without any pressure. They obtained details of body corporate minutes to satisfy our queries.
Their attention followed right through to our final inspection and move into our new apartment. They were generous in their time and professional in their guidance and made the purchasing process easy.”
— Donald F, Buyer

Engaging NS was the Best Decision!
★★★★★
“Aika & Nik represent an amazing and a very professional team. They listen carefully to your needs and are always there for you with their valuable knowledge and advice, making sure you get the best outcome.
We were relocating from Sydney and were looking for a house of our dreams.
Not knowing the market and the city well, and considering the high demand in the housing market, competition and increasing prices, house hunting became a huge stress and a challenge for us, and we almost lost hope to find anything suitable within our budget.
We were looking for houses for months with no luck.
At that point, we engaged Aika & Nik as our Buyers Agents, and that was the best decision we made. The guys gave us 100% of their attention and found a house for us within a week. Thank you so much, Aika and Nik! You helped make our dream come true and we can call Brisbane home now!”

Dedicated and Passionate Team
★★★★★
“Aika and Nik impressed us form our first meeting with their passion and drive when we were looking to buy the property they were selling in Birkdale.
Their knowledge of the area, advice and constant communication with us during the offer and eventual purchase process enabled us to buy the property of our dreams in a fantastic area.
We appreciated the extra effort they put in for us and even after the purchase nothing was to much trouble like arranging the keys to be dropped off to us.
As interstate buyers their local knowledge, advice and stepping in on our behalf for inspections etc. made our purchase possible.
Their professionalism and personal attention to detail coupled with their willingness to do whatever it took was over and above anything we had experienced.”
— Michael and Sithra H, Buyers

Amazing Agent and Team
★★★★★
“As someone who's generally sceptical of real estate agents, I was genuinely impressed by my experience with Nik & Aika. From our first meeting, Nik demonstrated a deep and sophisticated knowledge of Riparian Plaza.
What stood out was their strategic approach - rather than just listing the property, they provided targeted recommendations for subtle improvements that would maximise return on investment.
Their in-house styling team presented my property at its best and their network of serious buyers proved invaluable. Before we even launched our official marketing campaign, Nik secured an offer that exceeded my expectations.
It's refreshing to work with professionals who combine market intelligence with genuine personal investment in their clients' success.
I can't recommend Nik & Aika highly enough.”
— George S, Seller

They did a fantastic job and secured a strong selling price when the market outlook was uncertain.
Nik and Aika found the right buyer with a longer term outlook and really went above and beyond to address the buyer's queries on the property.
Nik and Aika can resolve any challenge to move a deal forward and I strongly recommend them to anyone considering selling their residential or commercial property.”

They provided spot-on advice and clear communication while diligently working to achieve our goals. They were well-prepared, pursued every opportunity, and made themselves available at all times—especially on weekends and holidays.
They didn't stop until they achieved the results they promised on day one, securing us above market price for the property sale and below market price for the property purchase.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Nik and Aika on our side.”
— Aakash K, Seller & Buyer’s Advocacy Client

Multiple Sales with Nik & His Team
★★★★★
“We engaged Nik & Aika to sell a waterfront property we owned in Birkdale after they sold our Riparian Plaza apartment for over $3M.
Their commitment, hard work and communication were instrumental in getting several contracts for our property.
When the first two contracts failed due to buyers' obligations, they had backup contracts lined up.
Their drive, work ethic and enthusiasm achieved great results.
We strongly recommend ‘Team Seirlis’ to anyone also looking to great results on their sale.”
— Ron & Annabel P, Sellers

What sets them apart is their genuine care and dedication as they were available at all times, even during holidays and weekends, making us feel like we were their only clients.
Their expert market knowledge and negotiation skills are impressive, but it's their personal approach that truly stands out. It never felt like a business transaction; rather, we had property-savvy friends guiding us through every step.
The combination of their professional expertise and authentic relationship-based approach makes them unique in the real estate industry.
We will definitely recommend them to all our friends and family!”

Seamless Investment Property Purchase
★★★★★
“Aika and Nik provided exceptional service as our buyers' agents in securing an investment property. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and conducted with the highest level of professionalism.
They guided us through every step, beginning with carefully researching and selecting properties within our budget, arranging inspections, negotiating prices, and handling the critical paperwork. What would have taken us countless hours to navigate independently was handled expertly by their team. Their deep market knowledge, ability to identify quality properties and hidden value, and outstanding negotiation skills were invaluable. We simply could not have achieved the same outcome on our own.
Beyond the purchase, their ongoing property management services have been equally impressive, ensuring our investment continues to perform optimally with minimal involvement required from us.
This was by far the most seamless and pleasant property buying experience we've ever had. We would engage their services again without any hesitation for future property investments..”

North South Real Estate Agency Reviews & Client FAQs
Trusted Prestige Property Reviews and Buyer’s Agent Insights
-
Writing a real estate agent review is simple. Share your personal experience, highlight key qualities such as professionalism, communication, negotiation skills, or market knowledge, and explain how the agent helped achieve your goals. At North South Real Estate, clients often leave reviews on Google, Rate My Agent, or directly on our site for maximum transparency.
-
The best way to compliment a real estate agent is to be specific. Instead of saying “great service,” mention how they were responsive, went above and beyond, secured a strong result, or made the buying or renting process stress-free. These details make your review authentic and valuable.
-
A good review message includes thanks to the agent by name, highlights the service provided such as buying, selling, or property management, and mentions the outcome, for example securing a property below market value or renting with ease. Example: “Aika and Nik were exceptional buyers’ agents in Brisbane, professional, accessible and helped us secure an off-market deal.”
-
In Australia, the top real estate agent review sites are:
Google Reviews – most trusted by buyers, sellers, and renters
Rate My Agent – widely used for agent-specific testimonials
Agency websites like North South Real Estate which provide curated reviews directly linked to verified transactions
Realestate.com.au (REA Group) – primarily a property listings website, but increasingly referenced by clients when researching agents and agencies. It also includes verified reviews connected to a purchase, sale, or rental, which helps buyers, sellers, and tenants assess the quality of service provided.
For prestige property clients across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Byron Bay, these reviews validate trust and results.
-
For maximum visibility, leave your review on Google Business Profile, as it shows in search results. Rate My Agent and the agency’s own reviews page also help new clients research and choose agents confidently.
-
Great agents are proactive, communicative, and transparent. Signs include clear advice, deep local market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and positive client reviews. For example, our buyers agent Brisbane reviews and Gold Coast real estate reviews consistently highlight seamless transactions and exceptional outcomes.
-
In Queensland and New South Wales, agents must hold a valid licence with the Office of Fair Trading (QLD) or NSW Fair Trading. Clients should also check real estate agency reviews online to confirm credibility, professionalism, and past performance.
-
There is no single “best” agent in Australia, as it depends on client needs, region, and property type. However, agencies like North South Real Estate specialise in prestige property, buyers advocacy, and real estate investment advisory across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. Verified client reviews consistently highlight leadership in service and results.
-
Real estate agent commissions in Australia vary depending on the state, metro versus regional location, and the property type.
Queensland: Commission rates typically range from 2% to 3.8% plus GST.
New South Wales: Commission rates generally range from 2.5% to 3.5% plus GST.
For high‑value properties or complex prestige transactions, we may also offer performance‑scaled structures that reward premium outcomes.
-
Traditionally, spring from September to November and early autumn are high-demand periods in Australia. However, in prestige property markets like Brisbane riverside, Gold Coast waterfront, and Byron Bay hinterland, timing often depends more on economic conditions, buyer demand, and seasonal interstate or international interest.
