Sarah Wilcox is our leasing agent, and Kim Newton is our property manager. We have been very happy with the service to date. Sarah has recently handled an extremely complicated and tense lease negotiation in a thoroughly professional and practical manner - adding significant value to the transaction. Kim is always available by phone if required and very approachable. Benjamin Morello sold a piece of Industrial land for us a year or so ago and achieved an excellent result for both us and the purchaser. I have known Byrne Tran for many years, and as an owner and senior member of the team, he always exhibits the highest level of ethics and professionalism - a great example followed by the rest of the team. I have no hesitation in recommending Commercial Collective for Commercial property sales or leasing services. ...read more read less

From day one, Benjamin brought a high level of professionalism, market expertise, and strategic thinking to the table. He handled every detail - from pricing to marketing and negotiations - with precision and care. Benjamin kept us informed throughout the entire process, always providing honest feedback and valuable insights. Thanks to his proactive approach and strong network, we received excellent offers and closed quickly, all while feeling fully supported and confident every step of the way.

I have been delighted with my experience with Commercial Collective. 90% of my interaction has been with Max Dobbyns and he has been absolutely fantastic. Initially, I sought his opinion on what the property might achieve and his suggested strategy. He produced a professional document outlining a likely range of $1.7m–$2m, which proved to be a very accurate estimate (the final sale price was $1.95m) and proposed a well-thought-out strategy. The campaign was really well executed, very close to what was initially suggested. Throughout the campaign, Max and Benjamin Morello kept me thoroughly informed with weekly (or more frequent) updates and consulted me whenever key decisions were needed. They clearly had a strong understanding of the market and the key players involved. Their advice on prioritising the bidders was excellent, and they managed the final decision-making process very effectively. Benjamin stepped in to manage the buyers at the end of the campaign while Max was on leave and handled the challenges that arose. Upon Max’s return, he did an outstanding job addressing the purchaser’s concerns and guiding them to a final outcome. It’s clear that Max brought a great deal of maturity, skill, patience, and persistence to closing the deal. I can't praise him highly enough, he clearly has a very bright future. I’m sure Benjamin's support and guidance played an important role as well. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Thank you. ...read more read less

I worked with Byrne Tran, Benjamin Morello, Brad Crouch, Kim Newton, and the team at Commercial Collective to manage and sell a complex, multi-tenanted industrial asset - the former Lampworks site on Clyde Street, Hamilton North. Their expert management helped position the asset for sale, and their national sales and marketing strategy was spot on. They provided professional service and achieved an excellent result, with the property selling for $31 million. I appreciated their expertise, proactive approach, and clear guidance throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking effective and professional service. This excellent result followed my 20-year relationship with Byrne who handled leasing of this property and later took over full management. From start to finish, Byrne demonstrated the highest level of integrity and professionalism. He went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled with care. Byrne's commitment to follow-through was exceptional; he always delivered on his promises and was quick to address any questions or concerns I had. If you're looking for an agent you can trust, who brings honesty, expertise, and reliability to the table, Byrne is the one to call. ...read more read less

My recent experience with the Commercial Collective team, Byrne Tran and Benjamin Morello has been of the highest standard. They have been extremely professional in our dealings, being pro active in getting our lease sorted, which became quite complicated at times. They were very responsive in all our communications. I would have no hesitation in recommending Commercial Collective for asset management, sales and leasing.

Thanks so much to Benjamin Morello and Commercial Collective for finding Novacare an off-market property in Port Stephens that met all our needs. Great company to deal with.
Joe McCarthy
The communication throughout the process was outstanding. Most of my contact was with George who kept me updated but I know Benjamin was also working hard to secure tenants too. The process has been stress less from my point of view. The outcome – securing a lease that met every aspect of the requested requirements is astounding! George has been the epitome of a professional with not only securing the lease but in his advice to us regarding other business-related enquiries that we made. We are very satisfied with the interaction with these two Commercial Collective representatives and would like to thank you for your assigning them to us. They made the experience extremely enjoyable. We will have no hesitation in highly recommending both George and Benjamin and Commercial Collective. We wish you and the Commercial Collective team continued success. ...read more read less
