Miriam has been amazing with guiding us through the stressful first home buying process. Her response time has been amazing when we need a quick answer to all our questions. I would recommend Miriam to any first home buyer who has no clue what they’re doing and is worried about the judgement of asking a million silly questions. We felt at ease knowing she was looking after us ❤️❤️❤️

My husband and I recently sold and purchased a property, and the entire process was far less stressful, thanks to the magic of Raymond Pan (pun intended. 🧚‍♂️) He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and kept us reassured every step of the way. We truly felt blessed to have him handling our legal matters, we prayed for a great solicitor, and Ray was definitely an answer to that, delivered the service with flying colours! A special thanks as well to Steven, who was always helpful and supportive while Ray was away. 😊 Highly recommended!!!

My partner and I recently went through Miriam at Freebairn and Hehir to purchase our house. As first home buyers the whole process was very overwhelming but was made very straightforward and simple with Miriam's help. Her communication was excellent - she replied promptly and used language that we were able to understand. She was more than willing to answer any questions we had and rephrase things we didn't quite understand. Miriam was extremely approachable and kind. She gave very clear advice and direction which helped us to feel like we were making informed decisions. She was also able to accommodate in person meetings around our schedules and worked above and beyond with some tight time frames we had. We are very appreciative and have already been recommending her to our family and friends.

We recently used this firm for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and the whole experience was incredibly smooth. They made every step of the process simple and stress‑free, and we were kept fully informed from start to finish. Their communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made a huge difference during such a big transition. Highly recommend their services.

Highly recommend Freebairn & Hehir. Had to move my mortgage over Christmas (worst time to do so). My usual lawyer was not available, but Miriam stepped up, set clear expectations and delivered ahead of time (& under what we'd expected cost wise). Miriam and her firm are a safe pair of hands. Highly recommend them .
