Book Your Free Appraisal
A free, in-person appraisal from Melbourne's North-West specialists. Starts with a short call to make sure it's the right fit — then we come to you with a real number, backed by real data.
A short, honest preface — written for the homeowner reading this at 10pm on a Tuesday, weighing it up.
Most appraisals are not designed to help you. They're designed to win the listing.
The agent quotes high. You feel good about the number. You sign. And then, six weeks into the campaign, the conditioning starts. The price guidance drops. The offers come in lower than you were told to expect. And the agent who was so keen before listing day is suddenly hard to reach.
You deserve better than that.
At RDM, we give you a real number. We show you the comparable sales behind it. We walk you through what the market is doing in your street, not just your suburb. So when you leave the appraisal, you're not hoping we got it right. You know exactly where you stand.
Ray Mirza has been selling in Taylors Lakes for over five years. Reece McKechnie knows Delahey better than any other agent in the area. They're realestate.com.au Top Agents for their respective suburbs. They deliberately limit the number of vendors they work with at any one time, so every vendor gets their full attention. And they tell you the truth, even when it's not the number you were hoping for.
If you've spoken to two or three agents already and still don't feel any closer to a real answer, you're not alone.
You've had an appraisal that felt too good to be true. You weren't sure if you could trust it.
You don't know which repairs or updates are worth doing before you sell — and which ones you'll never get back at settlement.
You've gone down a research rabbit hole trying to figure out your home's value, and you're more confused than when you started.
You want to move forward, but the indecision is paralysing. You're not sure if now is the right time — or what the right time even looks like.
You've been burned before. An agent made promises, handed you to a junior, and went quiet after listing day.
You've got a number in your head, but with current market noise, you're not sure if it's achievable.
You're not being difficult. You're being careful. And that's exactly the right instinct.
Three different starting points. Same honest conversation at the end of it. Pick whichever sounds most like you.

Get a Free Appraisal →Over 500 vendors have trusted RDM with their home sale. Here's what a few of them walked away with.
This is not a fifteen-minute walkthrough and a guess. It's a full home selling strategy session, at your property.
An honest assessment of how buyers will see your home — including what might be working against the price.
A realistic price range based on comparable sales data we can show you in the room.
A clear view of your home's position in the current market — specific to your street, and the buyers looking in your suburb.
Straight advice on which improvements (if any) are worth making before you list, and which ones won't pay off.
A genuine answer to the question every vendor asks: "Is this a number I can actually trust?"
You walk in uncertain. You walk out clear.
Five things we hear vendors say they want, almost without exception. If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.
Then this is for you.
From booking to leaving with a plan — typically inside a week, often inside 48 hours.
Book a short call with us online — takes about two minutes. We'll work out together whether an in-person appraisal is the right next step, for you and for us.
If we're a fit on both sides, Ray or Reece will walk through your home, pull the comparable sales data for your area, and give you an honest, thorough assessment of what your property could achieve in today's market.
A realistic price. A buyer profile. And a straight answer on what, if anything, is worth addressing before you go to market.
If you've ever walked out of an appraisal and still not really known what your home was worth — that's not an accident.
Agents quote wide ranges to protect themselves. They tell you the high number because that's the one you want to hear. You sign, the campaign launches, and six weeks later you find out what the market actually thinks.
Ray Mirza started RDM Real Estate because that should not be the normal experience. He's been selling in Melbourne's North-West for over five years. He's realestate.com.au's Top Agent for Taylors Lakes. He deliberately limits his active campaigns so every vendor gets him, start to finish.
Reece McKechnie is realestate.com.au's Top Agent for Delahey. He knows the suburb the way only someone who has been on the ground with vendors and buyers can.
RDM is an independent agency. No franchise rules. No head office chasing volume. No handoff to a junior once you've signed. Just agents who know their craft better than anyone else in the market — and who believe that a vendor who's been told the truth always ends up better off. A campaign is a partnership, not a competition.
Learn more about us →We're not trying to be everything to everyone. Here's who this conversation is for — and who it isn't.
680+ five-star reviews across Google and realestate.com.au. A small selection below — all real, all vendor-side.
No giant ego, no designer suit funded by the last vendor, and no luxury car needing "premium commissions" to keep it fuelled. Just straightforward advice, solid communication when needed, and a great result.
Reece knows Delahey really well and that local insight made a huge difference in positioning our home and navigating the market. He was always kind-hearted, responsive, and honest in every conversation.
He moved quickly, handled everything seamlessly, and managed to sell my property in just a week while setting a new suburb record. A fantastic result and a stress-free experience!

Most appraisals are designed to win the listing. Ours is designed to give you a number you can trust. We show you the comparable sales. We explain the current buyer market in your specific area. And we give you one realistic price — not a range wide enough to mean nothing.
No. The appraisal is completely free and there is no obligation attached. Some vendors book in and decide to wait six months. That's fine — you'll still walk away knowing where you stand.
We hope you'll choose to list with us. That's the honest answer. But the way we earn your business is by giving you a thorough, truthful appraisal — not by telling you what you want to hear. You'll decide based on what you experience.
Ray covers Taylors Lakes and the surrounding area. Reece covers Delahey. The agent you meet at the appraisal is the agent who'll run your campaign. There is no handoff to a junior.
Around 45 minutes. Long enough to do it properly — we're not rushing through your home or your questions. If you've got more to discuss, we'll stay longer.
Yes — especially if you're not sure you can trust the number. A second opinion costs you nothing, and could be the difference between selling with confidence and settling for less than your home is worth.
Right now, you might have a number in your head.
