Testimonials

We are delighted to share our experience working with Marcus at Commercial Collective, who guided us through securing the lease for our new commercial premises. Honestly, without his support, we would not have been able to proceed. Marcus negotiated directly with the lovely property owners on our behalf, working through each issue as it arose and finding a path forward when things looked like they might stall. His negotiation skill and calm persistence made all the difference. He kept us informed and reassured throughout, explaining what each sticking point meant for us and what our options were, and used his understanding of both sides of the table to get us to a lease we were genuinely happy with. We are enormously grateful to Marcus for making this possible. We would recommend him and Commercial Collective without hesitation to any business navigating a commercial lease. With many thanks,

Max Dobbyns is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and proactive in getting the deal across the line. He understands the process exceptionally well and often seems to know the answer before I even finish asking the question. Max Dawes is equally proactive and works hard to find solutions that keep both parties happy while moving the deal forward. Both Maxes are highly professional and excellent in their respective fields. I had a very positive experience working with them and would highly recommend them.

Very happy with Max Dobbyns and the team. It wasn't easy, as we ended up going to auction in a tough market. But due to Max and his effort, sales and professionalism, we got a result. Thank you.

Amazing experience with a complicated lease and terms. Thankyou so much Max for helping it all get over the line.

Dane Crawford has built an impressive commercial property footprint across Newcastle and the wider Hunter Region. Given Commercial Collective’s rapid growth, strong independent brand and client-focused approach, it is surprising the business hasn’t expanded nationally already. After some disappointing experiences with agents in the past, what I find particularly reassuring about Dane is his long-term commitment to the industry, his team and the region. Agents can come and go, but Dane has demonstrated consistency, strong leadership and a genuine investment in developing both Newcastle and the next generation of property professionals. Commercial Collective has become an important part of Newcastle’s continued growth and future prosperity. With the foundations Dane and his co-founders have established, franchising or broader national expansion feels like a natural next step.

Marcus Roddenby found us a fabulous tenant for our Broadmeadow property, a smooth and hassle free transaction, couldn't be happier.
