Hear what our clients say

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.

I was dealing with both Byrne, George and Ryan from Commercial Collective and found them to be very professional and productive. Found us a good quality tenant in a short time. Thanks again guys.

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.

We hold multiple property assets throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. We have been delighted with the property management services CC have provided us since engaging them last year. In the recent months we had some vacancies occur and consequently Byrne Tran and the CC team had them filled in next to no time at all. Sound advice, fabulous communication from start to finish. The team at Commercial Collective are true professionals. Thank you Commercial Collective.

I have developed, leased and sold industrial assets for 30 years in the Newcastle Region. I have recently transitioned 90% of our property portfolio of industrial assets to Commercial Collective from a competing corporate real estate agency as we have found Byrne Tran, Melinda McDonald and the team at Commercial Collective provide a more personalised approach to the management and leasing of our assets by understanding objectives and helping to achieve them. Their knowledge, experience, property advice and wholistic approach is first class.

We have developed many residential apartment buildings, commercial buildings along with industrial properties in the Hunter Region. We utilise the services of a number of real estate agents however with our industrial assets and in particular our assets located at Beresfield and Thornton, we have engaged Byrne Tran as he is the regions industrial expert with a proactive approach and unrivalled track record in the Beresfield/Thornton areas. We are looking to dispose of our property at Lot 8, 19 Balook Drive Beresfield and engaged Byrne to provide us with a recommended sales strategy which includes marketing the property for sale and lease. Based on Byrne’s knowledge of the market conditions and his depth of contacts with potential owner occupiers, investors and tenants, we adopted a two stage marketing campaign which was Byrne’s recommended strategy which has resulted in securing a long term tenant. This will place us in a good position to achieve a strong sale price. We know the region and have dealt with many agents over the years. We highly recommend Byrne as the industrial expert.
