What Simon's clients are saying
Simon Wheelans is a total professional real estate agent out there. Having moved from Melbourne, our customer service expectation with a real estate agency has been very high and Simon Wheelans has been second to none. He has always been very easy to work with and has helped us with getting us access to the property we purchased through him, so we could start planning our big renovation and rightfully, we started our renovation the next day after settlement. Highly recommend Simon.

I have been very happy with Simon.
I put my trust in him to sell a house in Auchenflower and a unit in Toowong. He knows the local market, he is an agent you can trust and he follows up on any promises made.
I have now bought and sold a few properties with Simon, and he remains my agent of choice.
He has always been scrupulously fair in all of my dealings with him.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dealing with Simon as the buyers was a pleasure. Simon helped with the whole process and was always there if we needed anything. He was available to answer any questions or if we needed additional information, nothing was too much trouble. He was an excellent communicator between us and the seller and is down to earth and easy to talk to. We wouldn't hesitate to use Simon as an agent in the future.

Vivian W
Simon & Marianne teamed up to sell our home. We had already moved interstate, & couldn’t get back due to border restrictions, so it was important to us to select an agent we could entrust to manage everything for us from afar. Within days of engaging the house was on the market, & they’d arranged pool certificate, building & pest inspection, styling, photography etc. They also kept our gardens watered! They did both private inspections/open homes, & we were very happy with the support /outcome
Andrea L
We had been struggling to find anything suitable in our desired location and Simon stepped up to the plate. He listened to what we were looking for and helped us find a match very quickly. Months of struggling in a tough market were quickly over. Transaction was effortless

Simon recently sold 2 properties for us. Without Simon's knowledge of the area, his market expertise, and negotiation skills, we would not have achieved such an amazing outcome! We were truly blown away by the result that Simon was able to achieve!
Not only were we happy seller's, we are confident that he was able to provide a superb buying experience for the vendor's.
We would not hesitate to recommend Simon and his team. He will be our first port of call should we sell again.

Simon is an exemplary real estate agent, I am happy to recommend.

Lewis G
We have considered Simon Wheelans our preferred real estate agent in Brisbane for more than a decade. We have also referred him to many friends and family members who have been as happy as we have been with the service he provides and the outcome he achieves. Over all those years and our many transactions Simon has been a pleasure to deal with, unfailingly professional and his integrity palpable. We have always felt that our home was in the best of hands when selling and that he totally "got" what we were searching for when buying. Likewise, we have always felt that Simon was working for us and with us and we are happy in the knowledge that our association with him continues.
