Do not under any circumstances use Barry Plant to sell your home or sign any contract with them. They are scammers who underquote and then stifle enquires in order to have their own connections purchase your property at a bargain price. THEY ARE DISHONEST

Simply the worst real estate I've dealt with over many years. The place I moved into was filthy and on the day of moving in the wrong keys were given. I had to pick up the correct keys on Saturday morning whilst the removalist was waiting to unload the truck so it cost us more.

All of my experiences with Barry Plant have been fantastic. I have lived in Bendigo, Mildura and Ballarat and I have nothing but good things to say about all three of their offices. I would highly recommend Barry Plant overall - 5 stars for your Barry Plant!
