What you get when you book an appraisal.

You'll get a 60-minute meeting at your home. I'll bring the PSM workings for your property, the comparable sales I've used, the range I'll back, and the campaign approach I'd recommend. No pressure to list. If the number isn't what you wanted to hear, I'd rather tell you that across your kitchen table than across an inflated listing six weeks later.

If the last agent's number sounded too good.

The appraisal that wins the listing isn't the appraisal that sells the house. The two should be the same number. That's what PSM does — it takes the opinion out, puts the evidence in, and lets the data argue for itself. The vendors I work with don't get conditioned down six weeks in. They get the honest number on day one, and the campaign runs from there.

What clients say.

David's diligence in providing data and evidence-based analysis of the property market for our area was a real differentiator. His regular updates allowed us to monitor and assess the market with confidence.
— Northbridge Seller
David assisted me in the sale of my parents' home. He worked with us as a family over many months as we decided the best way forward. There was no pressure, he was patient to our needs and supported us with sound advice.
— Northbridge Seller
We dealt with David in our recent transaction. David is an exceptional real estate agent who acts with integrity and honesty. He consistently goes above and beyond what is expected to ensure the best outcome for everyone involved. What sets David apart is his thorough, data-driven approach to property valuation. He carefully analyses both past sales and current market listings to arrive at a fair and accurate valuation, and sharing the data with clients on a regular basis. This gives both buyers and sellers confidence that they are making informed decisions based on the true market value of the property. David's professionalism, transparency, and data-driven approach provide peace of mind throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate agent.

I would like to sincerely thank David Howe and Charles Tang for their outstanding service in successfully selling our Northbridge family home.

We purchased this property from David at auction in May 2015. After the purchase, we demolished the original house and built our dream family home, which was completed in 2018. After owning the property for eleven years, we finally sold it in June 2026.

Throughout that entire journey, David has been the only real estate agent we have trusted. Ever since he helped us purchase the property in 2015, we stayed in touch over the years. When the time came to sell, there was never any doubt about who we would call. Choosing David and Charles to represent us was one of the easiest decisions we made, and from the very beginning they gave us confidence, reassurance and complete peace of mind.

The market was particularly challenging, with higher interest rates, cautious buyers and ongoing economic uncertainty. While the final sale price was below our original expectations, we appreciate that David and Charles achieved the very best result the market was prepared to pay at that time. Most importantly, they were honest and transparent throughout the entire process, always providing realistic advice based on market evidence rather than telling us what we wanted to hear.

What impressed us most was their professionalism, market knowledge, patience and integrity. They kept us informed at every stage, responded promptly to every question, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for our family. At every step, we felt they were acting in our best interests.

Selling a family home is never just a financial decision—it is an emotional one as well. David and Charles understood that, and their guidance, support and calm advice made the entire experience far less stressful than we had expected.

We are extremely grateful for everything they have done and are delighted with the service they provided. We would have no hesitation in recommending David Howe and Charles Tang to our family, friends and anyone looking for honest, experienced and trustworthy real estate professionals.

Thank you both for your dedication, hard work and exceptional service.

A Recent Sale

Sold within three days, Northbridge.

On a Minimbah Road sale in Northbridge, we launched and sold within three days at $5,938,000 — to a buyer already on our database who came through the first Saturday open. The vendors then bought their next home at auction in Roseville with us alongside them. That's how Team Howe works — start to finish, one team, the honest number all the way through.

The Method — how we get to the honest number.

Every appraisal Team Howe runs is built on a PSM (price per square metre) methodology. Here's what that means, and why we show the workings.

PSM, Explained

PSM — the appraisal methodology behind every Team Howe number.

Most appraisals start with three recent sales and an opinion. PSM starts with every comparable sale in your suburb, separated into land value per square metre and build value per square metre, outliers stripped, adjusted for the factors that actually move price on the Lower North Shore: aspect, renovation, zoning, parking, floor plan. The number at the end is the one I back. The workings come with it.

In plain English. We measure the land and the build at separate per-square-metre rates because they trade differently. A renovated house on a small block and an unrenovated house on a larger block can land at the same total price — but the maths underneath is completely different, and so is the campaign that will sell each one well. PSM splits the two so you know exactly what's driving your number. It's an AI-assisted methodology built on actual recent sale data — not opinion, not gut feel, not a number designed to win the listing.

What makes the method work.

1. PSM analysis.

AI-assisted price-per-square-metre modelling. Land PSM and internal PSM separated. Outliers detected and stripped. Adjustments applied for aspect, renovation status, zoning, parking and configuration. The number is defensible because the model is.

2. Twenty suburbs tracked daily.

Most agents read their own listings. We track twenty Lower North Shore suburbs every day — what's listed, what's sold, what's pulled, what cleared at auction, what passed in. The Snapshot newsletter is the public side of that work; the appraisals are the private side.

3. Auction expertise.

88% of completed Team Howe sales go to auction. That's not by accident — it's a deliberate strategy in a price bracket where the buyers exist, the competition is real, and the auction room is where the honest market price is discovered.

4. No inflated appraisals.

Some agents win the listing with a number, then condition the vendor down twelve weeks later. The brand here is built on not doing that. The appraisal you receive is the range I'll back into the campaign. Same number on day one as day sixty.

What we put on the table.

When you book an appraisal with Team Howe, you'll see the PSM workings for your property, the comparable sales used, the adjustment factors applied, the recommended price range, and the campaign strategy I'd run. Nothing is hidden in the back office. If you want to push back on a comparable, you can — that's the conversation we want to have.

Dorset Road, Northbridge — Two Homes, One Street

Sold pre-auction for $7,175,000 and $8,100,000 — over $15.27 million across two properties the prior agents couldn't shift.

Background

Two separate homes on the same street. The first had been previously campaigned without securing a sale before Team Howe was appointed. The second had been campaigned with two other agents without success before we were appointed. Between them, three prior agents had run campaigns and produced no sale.

What we did

The same disciplined preparation on both — cosmetic refresh, professional styling, vendors moved out on the first home. Roughly $100,000 in prep on the first property alone. Then a focused pre-auction strategy on each.

Prior Campaigns Across Both Properties

Why it matters. Same street. Same suburb. Same market. The three prior failed campaigns weren't a market problem — they were a methodology problem. Team Howe was appointed and the same houses sold pre-auction. The data-led approach travels, and it's reproducible.

David was very informative and open and honest with negotiations. Giving us a clear understanding of where we were at. David was always quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt informed throughout the process. Thanks to David's knowledge of the market and strong negotiation skills, we were able to purchase our dream home. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend David to anyone.
— Buyer, Home 1
Excellent market knowledge and expertise. David Howe possesses very thorough knowledge of the market, and was very responsive in all communications. He was always courteous, respectful and sincere throughout the sale process.
— Seller, Home 2
Minimbah Road, Northbridge

Sold within 3 days of launch at $5,938,000.

Background

A clean campaign with the right price guide from day one — and a buyer already waiting on the Team Howe database.

What we did

Launched at the PSM-led range. The eventual buyer was on our database before the listing went public, viewed the home at the first Saturday open, returned that afternoon with their parents, and exchanged contracts on Monday. David then assisted the vendors to purchase their next home — a successful auction bid in Roseville.

Why it matters. When the price is right from day one and the buyer is already on the books, the market doesn't argue. And the relationship doesn't end at sale — it continues into the next move.

Second to none. Outstanding on all measures. David is THE agent in the Northbridge market. He is an absolute gentleman, totally unflappable, always available, and knowledgeable of the local market beyond belief. I would recommend David, and his colleague Charles, to anyone.

About Team Howe.

Thirty years of disciplined practice on the Lower North Shore. One methodology built on what actually works.

Why Team Howe Exists

Thirty years on the Lower North Shore taught me one pattern more than any other: vendors get burned by the appraisal that wins the listing. The number sounds good when the agent walks out, the campaign launches, the conditioning begins six weeks in, and the vendor walks away from the sale feeling misled. After watching that pattern play out for decades, I built PSM. The point of it is simple — take opinion out of the appraisal, put evidence in its place, back the number from the start, and show the workings. PSM is the corrective the industry hasn't had. It's the version of this job I always wanted to do.

— David Howe, Partner Agent

The Engine Room

Charles Tang.

Charles Tang is the engine room of Team Howe. He runs the technical side of the practice — the systems behind PSM, the buyer pipeline, the data underneath every appraisal — and he's usually the first voice a buyer hears. Where David is in the room with vendors, Charles is making sure the rest of the operation keeps pace. He's the reason the methodology runs reliably, week after week.

Charles was precise with facts and figures, and went above and beyond with both his level of communication and his care of our property. We attribute our successful sale to his persistence and negotiating skills.
— Northbridge Seller
What We Stand For

Four things we don't negotiate.

Honesty.

The number we call is the number we back. The appraisal that wins the listing is the appraisal that sells the house.

Integrity.

No conditioning down. No surprise reductions six weeks into a campaign. What you sign on for is what we run.

Communication.

Straight conversations, before the listing and through the campaign. If we have to tell you something you don't want to hear, we will — early.

Data-driven.

Every appraisal built on PSM. Every market read built on twenty suburbs tracked daily. No opinion offered without evidence behind it.
