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.

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."
