What People say about Brad Shipway
Client Testimonials
Brad was amazing from start to finish. The process for us was long but Brad continued to check in and moved so quickly as soon as were ready to sell. We were selling from interstate so his knowledge and assistance with local tradespeople was pivotal. The price exceeded our expectations and was significantly above what we were told was possible from other agents. Highly recommend Brad!
Awesome Review! I didn't know you were interviewing other agents though, so that's interesting. You were the perfect seller - you asked for options, we gave options, and you pretty much took on the recommendations and then some. I couldn't have asked for a more easy going seller. Thanks for choosing me.
We had a very positive experience when dealing with Brad. Brad kept communication lines open by being readily available and was very helpful when responding to any questions. His assistance with the organization of regulatory requirements for property marketing was professional and thorough. We strongly recommend Brad's services to others seeking professional, real estate marketing with dedicated, client representation.
Thank you, I aim to make every experience positive. I try to make sure people know they can call or email me at any time and get a response very quickly. Thank you for choosing me to help you sell your property.
Brad was the consummate professional in both preliminary stages, marketing, handling prospective buyers queries & finally negotiating a satisfactory sale. It was achieved during a quieter holiday period when some low offers required mature, sound negotiating skills to bring about a very fair result for us.
Thank you so much for the awesome review. It's a fine line over the holiday period about letting people enjoy their family time and negotiating.
Brad was nice to deal with and was helpful in organising inspections etc once the contract had been signed. The negotiation process, however, was less than ideal as Brad did not communicate proactively and didn't offer reassurance that he was working with his vendors to negotiate the sale. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress around Christmas time that could have been avoided had he been more upfront with us.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that the negotiation phase caused you stress during Christmas. I always aim to provide a smooth and positive experience for both buyers and sellers. It's disappointing to hear I fell short in this case. I'll try to improve my process going forward. Thank you again for your honest review. I wish you all the best in your new home.
We are thrilled with Brad's performance as our real estate agent for selling our character home at auction! His knowledge and passion for the auction process set him apart. While others suggested a traditional sale, Brad’s strategy showcased our home’s unique charm beautifully, attracting eager buyers. His friendly demeanor made the journey enjoyable, and we also shared a few of his favorite Sea Legs Brewing pints. If you're looking for an agent who truly cares, we highly recommend Brad!
I'm sure we'll catch up for a few more Sea Legs Brewing in the future. Thank you for giving an "Outside" agent a chance. It was pretty convenient selling a house just around the corner, especially when it went off like it did at Auction. I'm glad you listened to my auction strategy.
Brad went above and beyond. Brad is highly professional and is realistic in his advice and support. He is honest and extremely approachable.
Thank you for the awesome review! We strive to get the best outcome for our clients. At the end of the day, it’s not about how long a property has been on the market—it’s about ensuring our vendors walk away with the result they deserve.
Brad did a fantastic job selling our home, I knew from the first time I met him, he was the man for the job. Great strategy, marketing and negotiation skills got us an excellent price and he was very positive throughout the sale process and kept us informed. Thanks Brad and team, you were outstanding
Thanks Scott! You were a great person to work for. You listened to our suggestions and acted on them. Don't be shy and stay in touch!
We bought a property through Brad & his team and the whole process exceeded our expectations. Brad was very honest and open and was always happy to answer any questions we had regarding the property. His team member Maxine is also incredibly kind and lovely to deal with. I would absolutely recommend the Harcourts team in future.
Thanks Legends! I think you'll love it there!
Brad was extremely efficient and very easy to deal with. His knowledge of the property was very good, answering any of our questions, making sure we were comfortable about the property. On the day of the Auction, he made sure we understood every detail of how the Auction would proceed and supported us during the bidding process. We are very happy with our new apartment, and very much appreciate Brads efforts on our behalf.
Thank you so much for the great testimonial! We understand that many people don't understand Auctions, so we do try to educate all buyers of the process. I love Auctions, the transparency behind it, but of course, not everyone understands it. I'm sure you're going to love the property, and the community that goes with it. stay in touch!
Brad provided exceptional service in selling our family home. His authentic nature and outstanding attention to detail truly set him apart. Thanks to Brad, we achieved the best possible results in the market within a timely manner. I highly recommend Brad as your agent; no request was ever too hard for him to manage. Thank you, Brad.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you sell your much loved family home. I'm so glad you trusted the strategy and process. I'm sure the next owners will love it as much as you did.
Where do we begin? Agent, advisor, Real Estate Encyclopaedia, friend. Brad is one of the most genuine, hard working and knowledgeable agents you’ll find. He is a terrific bloke and if you read this, you should not go any further. You’re in good hands!
I'm pretty sure you missed comedian! Thank you so much for the awesome review!!! I'm so glad you chose me to sell your property in Geebung. It was an awesome campaign, selling to a buyer from a social media advertisement.
I had a great experience working with Brad. - During our initial phone call, he was able to recall the previous sale date and sale price for my property without prior research. - The property was sold within 7 days. - The price exceeded my expectations. - Settlement was completed without any problems. Brad’s friendly nature and professionalism is what sets him apart. I think this is why the sale process went so well. Thanks for your help Brad! I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you. We had a strategy, we stuck with it, but ultimately, you put in a lot of hard work and getting the property styled was a great idea. Well done Matthew.
Brad is a top Bloke, Professional , great knowledge and up to date with the market. Honest, reliable, communicates well and patient. On behalf of my brother I thank Brad and his team for a great result
Thank you, being a top bloke definitely isn't on the criteria when you apply, and too often I'm tarnished with the same brush as others, but I'm glad you chose me to help you sell your property, it was a pleasure. We chose a efficient and effective sales strategy based on the property and I believe it worked perfectly. A very emotional sale, but I hope I made it easier :)
We were selling my elderly aunts home. She asked me to contact Brad, because he had kept in contact with her over the years. I was reserving my judgement, but Brad turned out to be likeable and knowledgeable about the market. His first valuation was more than I thought, but I felt the house was a very hard sell: on a busy road, basically unimproved in 56 years, and an asbestos roof. Brad was able to exceed his estimate by $60,000, which was fantastic. I would recommend Brad to any seller
Thank you for such a great testimonial Milton. I'm glad you reserved your judgement :). Reach out anytime :)
Brad is as genuine as they come. Absolute pleasure working with him. I appreciated his honesty when came to talking sale figures as other agents I dealt with gave unrealistic numbers to try and win us over. He actually achieved a sales price well above what we were expecting. The people he engages did an amazing job with the photos and video walkthrough, couldnt be happier with how it turned out. Highly recommend 10/10. Will certainly use Brad again in the future.
Thank you for choosing to work with me! You did a great job in presenting your property for sale. You were calm throughout the entire process, we had some interesting times together, and I know they say your clients become friends faster than friends become clients...well I'm pretty sure that's true in this case.
Brad was very personable and easy to engage with. He really helped us to get the property we wanted.
Thank you for the great review. I hope you love the new place. Brad
Amazing results. Brad and his team achieved an amazing result in selling our renovated property. The whole process was stress free with an above expected result in record time, one open home with multiple offers. Communication was great throughout the process and would highly recommend Brad to anyone who is considering selling. Especially the Geebung, Aspley, zillmere areas.
I'm so glad you chose me to help you sell. It was a beautiful little property and there's no doubt the work you put in at the end helped to achieve such a great result. You couldn't have been any more welcoming in the partnership we had. It was awesome :)
Brad fully understands the real estate market in North Brisbane. He is very easy to talk to, goes out of his way to accommodate clients' requests, and if he says he will get back to you with details or feedback, he doesn't disappoint. Brad's services as a real estate agent came highly recommended to us, and we have already recommended him to others, and will continue to do so. He made the home selling process quite painless for us and we thank him.
Thank you for the awesome review! I'm so glad we achieved what we set out to achieve.
Very professional, treat everyone very fair and equally. Very hard working and always respond to customer’message even after work. Highly recommended
Thanks Steven, believe it or not, buyers and sellers are the reason agents have a job, we need to provide a good service to both. Some buyers and sellers may only buy or sell property once in seven to thirty years, so making sure they know what's going on 100% of the time should be expected. It's not rocket science, but it's not easy sometimes. Thank you for the great review :)
I first me Brad a few years back when I was looking to purchase a property. Coming from another state I found Brad extremely helpful and easy to deal with. So when it came time to sell, Brad was the logical choice. The sales process was extremely transparent which gave a great confidence that he had negotiated the best price. Very down to earth, highly recommend Brad and his team to anyone looking to buy/sell.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to help. It's all about helping people!
Could not have asked for a better agent. Brad was extremely professional and prompt with outstanding communication throughout the process of selling. As an interstate buyer, Brad kept up informed at every stage and was extremely honest during this process. Brad managed to get us a price that exceeded our exceptions. We could not recommend him highly enough. Brads easy going nature made the whole process of selling an ease. I would give 6 stars if it was an option!
Thank you both! I'm glad it all worked out well for your sale.
We have worked with Brad on multiple occasions and he does not fail to deliver. He managed to achieve a phenomenal price on the sale of our property and also broke records for number of views online as well as us ending up with multiple formal offers. I cannot recommend Brad more highly for his professional and honest approach to his work.

Brad was a pleasure to deal with and made the sale of our property simple and efficient. His knowledge of the local area and of current market conditions along with his strategic approach meant we achieved a result above our expectations. We would be happy to recommend Brad and will be using his team on any future purchases or sales.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work for you all. We loved the way the propery was presented, it made it sooo much easier to market and sell.
I can't recommend Brad highly enough. Brad is a great communicator, transparent, and honest; all the qualities that you want in a real estate agent. Brad and his team made the process of selling my unit very comfortable, and he delivered a good result.
Thanks Grant! We stuck to the plan and found a great buyer! Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
Brad was awesome to deal with. As a buyer, he responded promptly and clearly to any questions I had and went over and above to make the purchase, settlement and move in process as painless as possible. Thanks Brad.
Thanks Phil! I try to help people beyond what's really expected. I think good service can go a long way in someone's life for the short period you're in contact with them. I'm sure you'll enjoy living there as much as the last person did.
Excellent and very professional with my elderly mother. I found he spoke to her with great consideration and included me in the conversations with mum
Thank you June! It was a pleasure helping the family.
Brad stuck to the task when we were trying to reach the price we wanted. His advice, ideas and ways forward were spot on every time. He’s honest, hard working and all around a good person. So grateful he got done what we asked of him and more. He sold our house and we got more than we could hope for as a result of his hard work. Best in Geebung by far.
Thanks Ryan, we do everything in our power to achieve the highest price for a seller. We strategise behind the scenes and try to think of things to attract buyers to a property for sale. Ultimately, that's our job :).
I engaged Brad to sell my property after my first agent failed to reach the agreed sale price. Brad was able to produce multiple offers within 4 to 6 weeks of his marketing campaign and he achieved a great sale result. He knew exactly where to invest any marketing budget for an effective marketing campaign. I found him to be patient and very heplful. He is confident in the service he provides and he has a great knowledge of his area.
Thanks Mohamed, we had a plan and we implemented it well! I don't like wasting my money let alone other people's money, so I'm glad you took it on board. I think you probably saw how much I care for my clients, reach out if you need any help in the future at any time.
Brad did a fantastic job selling our home with a great result. He has an extensive knowledge of the market and a true passion for real estate. Brad made whole process of selling very easy and was always ready to answer questions and help us whenever we called. We would definitely recommend Brad
Thanks Mel and Brad, it was a tough time with interest rate rise after interest rate rise, but we got there. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to preparing your house for sale.
Brad made the process of selling my first home incredibly positive and informative. I had not been through the process before and not having an overly pleasant experience with some agents in the past, Brad was honest, genuine and realistic. As it was a stressful process leading up to get the house in a ready state to go on the market, Brad made the approach to market and selling process a breeze. Brad always went the extra mile in negotiating and answering queries, would highly recommend.
Thanks Ash! You certainly put me to the test in the lead up, but I'm glad it all went well in the end. I'm sure we'll stay in touch in the future.
Very easy to deal with as a buyer. Always available even after getting the deal done. Thanks Brad.
Thanks Michael. It's sometimes very hard as a buyer, it might feel like every agent is against you, sometimes I'm trying to help buyers as much as I'm trying to help sellers, it's just in different ways usually.
Brad is very down to earth and easy to deal with. He was both optimistic but also realistic with the market and I believe he got the best value for my property in the current market. The service from Brad was great and I would use him again.
Thanks Daniel, it was an interesting period with all the rate rises happening, but we managed to achieve a great price with tenants in place with minimal downtime for them. We did have a bit of problem solving along the way, but I guess that made it all the more fun. :)
From our first contact nothing was too much trouble for Brad. He always went out of his way to offer help and advice and he kept me informed of any updates during the purchase process. Brad is extremely professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling. He is very friendly and his knowledge of the current market invaluable. I have bought and sold many properties over the years but I can confidently say dealing with Brad has by far been the best experience yet!
Thanks Susan! That's an amazing review! Real estate really is a rewarding industry. It's tough, and not always easy, but it's safe to say I do enjoy helping people with their moves, be it buying or selling. At the end of the day, we deal with people and there's no reason we can't be helping both sides of the transaction. Reach out if you ever need any help, as you know we'll help where ever we can.
One of the good ones! Like a lot of buyers, we went to a lot of open homes, and dealt with many agents in the Geebung area before we met Brad Shipway. Dealing with Brad was a breath of fresh air in comparison to other well-known agents in the area. On this occasion, we bought a property from Brad, but in a heartbeat, I would recommend him as the #1 agent for anyone wishing to buy or sell their home in Geebung.
Thanks Legend. It was an interesting time in the market, but I think you'll agree you did the right thing jumping on this cracker when you did. The old saying "they don't make them like this anymore" holds true.
Brad was friendly, informative and honest from the first call. He understood our objectives and got a result we are all happy with, even helping iron our bumps that occurred on the purchasers side along the way. Highly recommend; would absolutely use him again.
Thanks Sian, it was a pleasure helping you with the sale of your property. I think we had more bumps that I was concerned about before the first open home than at the end :) Nothing that can't be solved with communication really.
An Agent that Cares and takes the Stress out of Selling. Brad was recommended to us by the people who live in our street. He is very professional and gives good old fashioned service. He not only has a handle on the market [i.e. doesn't come to you with false promises], but also provides great tips, always delivers on what he says he will do and genuinely cares about his clients. Our land sold in under a week. I would highly recommend Brad for all real estate needs.
Thanks for the awesome review Robyn! It's all about service and communication at the end of the day. Thank you for trusting me to help you sell your property.
I found Brad to be very knowledgeable about the current market, he worked hard in marketing my property. And managed to negotiate a good price for the...

Brad worked with us to sell my fathers home using his knowledge of the area, the market & by being realistic but always eager to get us the best price through his proven marketing & client follow up. Brad has a friendly attentive attitude to everything, simplifying the process for us & always ready to help advise on any details we needed to know. I thoroughly recommend Brad & his team to anyone, just give him a call for the facts without the pressure.
Thanks Karen, it was a pleasure working for you to help sell your father's home. We have a great process, and we follow it as closely as possible. I'm glad you chose me to help. Thank you for the great review.
I would highly recommend Brad, he got me the price I wanted for my unit. He was always open and honest during the sales process. We were also looking to buy at this time and Brad was always happy to answer any questions we had even though some of the properties were not listed with him. He is always willing to go that extra mile and cares about the person even though at times it’s just to make sure you are making the right decision. Thank you Brad for all your help and support.
Hi Marta, thank you for choosing me to help sell your home. We certainly had some fun along the way, starting from the day we launched online. I'm sure we'll reminisce in the future :) Brad
We have known Brad for 5 years & he has always been so forthcoming with his time & honest feedback. He works with integrity so when we entrusted Brad to sell our unit, we had complete faith he would do his utmost to guide us & achieve the best result. He recommended styling to help achieve the best possible outcome & after showing us through a similar property that was styled, we went ahead and didn't look back. The small investment was well worth it, helping us to sell quickly for a great price
Thanks guys! You did an amazing job preparing for sale. I try to make efficient and effective advice part of my preparation advice, and you nailed it - the result speaks for itself. Thanks for choosing me to help you sell your villa :)
We used Brad to sell our house in Geebung in the early part of 2018. Brad stood out to us as he comes across as being genuine and down to earth. He had exceptional knowledge of the current market with plenty of examples of similar houses to our own. With this he was able to give us a very realistic value for the range in which our house was worth. He does not try to fluff things up like a lot of agents do these days. It is very apparent that he is honest and hard working and in my opinion just what you want from an agent given the task to sell your home. He did exactly what he said he would and then some. We were able to sell within 3 weeks and at the price we wanted. I would and i have recommended Brad to others looking to sell. He is very accomadating and definetely worth giving a go.
From the moment i choose Brad as my Vendor i knew i picked a winner. His honestly, quick wit, communication and enthusiasm gave me the confidence that the job would be done quickly and we will achieve the best results. Behind the scenes Brad worked hard with the tenants that were currently renting to arrange open houses, photos and to ensure the house looked amazing at all times. At no time did i feel like my questions, concerns or worries were not answered and any problems that arose were dealt with immediately. I was blown away by the video Brad put together of the house and suburb. Within 5 days on the video going viral, we had our first open house and it was SOLD!! I would not hesitate to recommend Brad anyone looking to sell. He is one in a million!!!
Great professionalism and assistance during the process. We really appreciated the way Brad kept us updated throughout the process. Brad is generous with his time and knowledgeable on the suburb of Geebung and the house. Very personable.
We engaged Brad because he showed an interest in assisting us to sell our property for a realistic price. Brad's approach was not suffocating; rather he kept us informed about the prices that houses sold for in our area. This was informative and helpful. His idea of videoing himself skateboarding down the driveway was innovative. His advice about engaging a professional photographer to take photos of the house and upload these to the Internet was quite worthwhile. Brad conducted himself in an ethical and open manner. We would recommend his services to other potential vendors.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Brad to anyone and we would gladly use his services again in the future.
He achieved a quick sale at a price that we were very happy with.
He was honest, reliable, a great communicator and followed through on everything he said he would do.
Brad was a pleasure to do business with.
More than happy to use Brad again the next time I sell.
He was always keeping me inform with feed back from prospective buyers on open house days, and then with the buyer.
He hung in there and pushed for a amazing price, way above anything that had sold in the complex before.
He was very knowledgeable with my neighbourhood and the value of property in the surrounding area.
We would highly recommend Brad as an agent to future vendors.
Very knowledgeable of the property market and provided sound advice.
Brad was thorough and professional throughout the sale process.
I want to thank you for making the sale of our house go so smoothly. We felt confident throughout the sale process because of your professionalism.
A neighbour messaged me after the auction: "Great result. You chose your people well. We have been very impressed with Brad." So here are two recommendations. Well done, Brad!
I was confident that he would do his best for me, and was rewarded with the sale price more than meeting my expectations.
I discovered during the process that he was hard-working, willing to go the extra distance and to do extra things to help sell the house. He was very helpful to me in a number of small ways when things needed doing and I was unable to get there easily.
I chose Brad as my agent not only because of his detailed knowledge of the Geebung area and market, but also because I found him pleasant and easy to talk to, clear and responsive in his communication with me, and honest and reliable in all he said and undertook to do.
Well done Brad and thanks for making and aged lady very very happy. We will recommend you to all in the catchment area your agency.
He followed though and made many little touches never seen by any of us in a sales deal.
Buyer was a great fit for the house which is a compliment to Brads skills as an agent.
He was on the ball and had shots posted in 2 days , open house in 4 and a signed contract in 6.
It gave us a peace of mind that we found someone that we could trust.
I would strongly recommend him.
Even when the house had a contract on it, he was still doing opening houses every week end until the contract was unconditional.
The timing made it not easy, as there were more than eighty houses for sale in the Kippa-ring at the same time. Brad managed to get the price that we were happy with, for the house.
Brad is a good agent he was proactively calling potential buyers, communicating with existing customers and constantly chasing new leads.
Excellent service from the start. Nothing was a problem for him and I was able to communicate at any time of day and he would respond straight away.
Brad was honest and up front, he told us the way it was, which is very refreshing.
