The Ask Max Mission
People deserve to know what it's really like before they live there.
Agents present the best version. Listings hide the worst. The only people who know the truth are the ones who already lived there — and until now, nobody asked them.
What Ask Max does
The truth agents don't tell you
Real experiences from people who actually lived there — not staged photos or marketing copy.
Verified reviews
Every review is verified against a lease, bond receipt, or utility bill. No fake reviews, no competitor attacks.
Inspection photos
Real photos taken at inspection or during tenancy. See the actual condition of the property — not the listing version.
Max's signal engine
Max reads patterns across every review — if the same issue comes up repeatedly, you'll see it clearly before you inspect. Patterns, not just ratings.
How it works
Simple. Fast. Honest.
Three ways to use Ask Max — before you inspect, after you move in, or just to know more.

42 Crown Street
Surry Hills NSW 2010 · Apartment
Max says
Poor ventilation flagged in 9 of 14 reviews. Residents consistently mention stuffy rooms and no airflow. Worth asking about before you sign.
"Every summer was unbearable. No cross-ventilation, no aircon, and the agent said nothing about it at inspection."
