We recently tried to purchase a property in Canberra while living in Adelaide. We stumbled upon Frank and we are so lucky that we did! In a process that was otherwise incredibly messy, overly complicated and challenging, Frank provided total clarity and consistent good humour!
Frank absolutely loves what he does, and it shows. I felt at all stages that Frank was our coach, cheerleader, advocate and representative. Our calls were ALWAYS answered, he gave excellent, timely advice and didn’t let the vendors take advantage of us - no matter how hard they tried!!
I would recommend Frank to absolutely anyone thinking of going to auction. It’s a tough game and gosh he’s a star player!
Even though we weren’t able to secure the property, Frank’s support reassured us that we had won on the day, walking away at the right time and sticking to our values (and the banks valuations!).
Thanks again Frank, you’re a legend!

Frank knew exactly what to do to put us at ease with the auction process and answered all our questions clearly. On the day, he was so professional and responsive to the bidders. The result of the auction was more than we dared hope for. We highly recommend Auction Advantage.

We approached Frank for advice when exploring the prospects of building a second residence on a property we were interested in buying.

From the get-go, Frank was easy to talk to, willing to help and genuinely keen to form a trusting relationship with us. What’s more, he proactively went above and beyond to give us the information we needed to make an informed decision - all in an incredibly quick turnaround time.

For people like us, with a limited background in the requirements and legalities of second residences and extensions, the information he provided was gold and gave us the confidence to know what to do and what to look for in a property.

Frank also gave valuable guidance about purchasing the property and the auction process. His expert insight and wealth of knowledge in real estate, from his many years of experience in the industry, was apparent from the start.

We strongly recommend Frank’s advice and services to anyone looking to buy a home or build a secondary residence.

Frank assisted us in securing an investment property at auction. He provided us advice in the days proceeding the auction, and also attended the auction with us. I can confidently say that we would not have been successful at the auction without Frank's assistance. He is personable and very knowledgeable.

Frank Walmsley was the auctioneer of our place in Kambah in November 2020 and he did just what he said he would. He came over and met us a few days pre-auction, found out about ourselves, our home & was very familiar with the building report. On auction day in spite of only 1 serious bidder he achieved a sale price above our reserve with professional and reasoned negotiations between ourselves and the buyer. Frank had also assured us that even not selling at auction day would not be a problem and that he would still ensure good result nonetheless Mike and Therese.

Frank recently conducted an auction for us for our property in Yass. We found Frank to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Frank did extensive research on our property and the market, he took time to understand our expectations, and chat to all the registered parties prior to auction. He provided us with good advice and achieved a record sale for our property. We would have no hesitation in recommending Frank.

Frank went above and beyond in helping my wife and I buy our first home. He was always a phone call away, always very friendly and knowledgeable about the industry. Highly recommended!

Frank assisted my wife and I by representing us as our bidding agent. He was extremely knowledgable of the Canberra region's housing market, conducted research for us and even knew the interstate auctioneer personally. He was professional in his approach, calm in manner and in the end secured the property for us at a price we had agreed. I have no hesitation in recommending Frank to assist in your home buying journey.

Frank provided a highly professional auctioneer service which resulted in a successful sale at the auction. Despite only one bidder being registered Frank's cool headed advice and experience in dealing with a wide range of scenarios at auctions achieved a sale price that we were very happy with. Highly recommended.

Good value all round; very knowledgeable and professional, easy to deal with

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness

Excellent auctioneer. Very attuned to audience in market and achieved a sale well above reserve.

Not unlike a Rugby team, preparation is key and having strategy in place well before the Auction is where Frank and Auction Advantage can help. Having worked with Frank on both sides of the Auction process I can attest to their professionalism and tactical skill. For our business, since Auction Advantage has come on board as our Auctioneers we have seen our clearance rate at Auction increase dramatically, but more importantly we have seen a shift in buyers behaviours, they are comfortable and understanding through what is a very stressful transaction. I can highly recommend Frank and his team, it is amazing what a professional approach can bring to the Auction process with good tactics in place.

Frank is one of a kind and an exceptional Auctioneer. Frank has an in depth knowledge of the Auction process and all things property. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional.

Frank's knowledge and insight helped me to secure my property at the right price. I was confident throughout the process that Frank's advice was in my best interests. I am certain his assistance saved me money, and just as important, made navigating the confusing and challenging buying process seem so much easier.

Frank has helped us scope our options for extending or building a granny flat on the block of our new home. He provides process updates and is very thorough, answering all my questions before I've even thought to ask. Could not fault his service - has so far really helped to take the stress out of buying our home and working through our options to make sure it's the perfect fit for our family. Would definitely recommend

I attended two auctions recently, both called by Frank Walmsley from Auction Advantage. Frank made the atmosphere both friendly and welcoming, adding humorous stories to the process. His knowledge of the suburb and Canberra real estate market is impressive.

Wow! I had a fantastic result at auction with Frank Walmsley. Frank bid on my behalf for the property and he was courteous, helpful, educational, and very reassuring.

This was my first time at an auction and certainly my first time bidding. I did not want to ruin this opportunity with my nerves and inexperience... the house was perfect for us and we were determined to win.

I watched with delight as Frank use his wealth of knowledge and brimming personality to politely roll over the competition. He guided us through each step, carefully making sure we were comfortable and well-informed along the way.

The property was bought within our budget, and with no pressure.

I highly recommend using Frank's services. We will do so again - there is so much value in his service which was pivitol to our success.

Five stars for Frank Walmsley.

I have known Frank Walmsley for a relatively short time and we have noticed that Frank is a people person with a natural ability to communicate with anyone. He listens intently and can analyse a situation and formulate a plan for the best possible outcome.

I refer to Frank as being a problem solver. He is a man of his word who follows through with his commitments and shows a genuine interest in helping people.

I can confidently recommend Frank in whatever business venture you might be considering.

We approached Frank for support and advice when buying a property in North Canberra. Frank took time out of his weekend to spend time with us to go through the process of what we needed to do to secure our dream home. Not only did Frank give us his expertise advice, he walked us through the process and checked in every step of the way. We needed to move quickly on the sale and didn't have a solicitor organised, so, Frank contacted one of his well known solicitors, who called us into his office on a Sunday to sign contracts. Frank facilitated the whole process of the sale.
Frank was succinct in providing information, caring in regards to our needs and wants, and treated us with respect and professionalism as new home buyers.
I cannot highly recommend Frank and his services enough. When we are ready to buy again, Frank will be our first call.

Frank has been instrumental in providing insights from holistic property market in Canberra to implementing auction strategies, and he has helped us through making sure we do the right things along the way. Thanks!

Frank gave us great advice and helped us work out exactly what we needed and how to achieve it. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Frank provided the most incredible, comprehensive and knowledgeable support for us as a buyer agent and bidder.

The process of going to auction can be extremely stressful but Frank’s knowledge of the industry, the market and his personal ethics and commitment to transparency left us feeling not only comfortable but confident.

Franks commitment to his clients goes far beyond what we expected and reflects the care he takes in providing advice and developing and executing a strategy.
