We had a wonderful experience with Mary Cassar in selling our unit this month. She kept us up to date and was always available to answer any questions we had. We had a great result for our auction and the whole team was very supportive throughout the process. Greg did a wonderful job at the Auction!

I recently bought a home at an auction from Amie. I only really saw the home once , one week before the auction. Amie called me to follow up and encouraged me to attend and bid at the auction - which ultimately resulted in me bidding and winning at the auction. I feel Amie and her team were very approachable which is a huge factor in making me feel comfortable to come and bid at the auction. Thank you Amie and your team at O'Brien!

Amie and Steph were very supportive in helping my partner and I purchase our first home. They were very prompt in following up with our queries and ensured that we had all the answers we needed.

O'Brien Real Estate, in particular Ami Russell, Greg Brydon and Sam Hartrick were outstanding in the customer care in guiding us through the sale of my fathers home. The sale price far exceeded our expectations and without their guidance and help there is no way that would have been achieved.Thank you all at O'Brien for helping us to a great result.

We had a great experience with Amie and the rest of the team. They put in every effort to get us the best outcome and provided genuine feedback during the sales process. Our sale process was very smooth and we were given complete freedom on how and at what price we wanted to sell our home. We really appreciate all the effort from the team.

Byron, Aime and Steph were sensational. The result was great but the process to get the result was just as good. They were all extremely helpful and nothing was ever a problem. I would thoroughly recommend Mentone O'Briens to anybody.

25/10/19- Working as a Buyers Advocate all across Melbourne I deal with literally hundreds of Agents. My recent experience in all of my dealings with Brent McHugh were extraordinary. Mostly I see ordinary out there. If you want to deal with a genuine person behind the suit, that is honest and hard working, then I would certainly select Brent when thinking of Selling.Julie DeBondt-Barker, DirectorBuyers Home Base

Mary Cassar and the team got us a fantastic result on the sale of our unit in Mordialloc. Mary's knowledge of the market and her advice helped us to make the best decisions throughout the process, and achieved a result far beyond our expectations. Thank you Mary!

Ami from O’Brien was so welcoming and helpful and was able to put us in touch with conveyancers and builders for inspections. She made the process of buying our first house in Australia much easier than I thought. I was also impressed with how caring she was of her clients and understanding of individual circumstances.Thanks Ami for all your help

Amie, Stephanie and the team were excellent and the most professional, informative, friendly and engaging team when selling our property. They were amazing and with their knowledge of the market, listening to any family queries, gave us such confidence in selling the home. The regular updates/detailed weekly reports were great. And when Bryon the auctioneer started, we knew O'Briens Mentone was the best in the business.

After reading some of the other poor ratings I felt I had to write something. Real estate is hard, there is a lot of work that goes on behind closed doors that often goes unnoticed. Sometimes things don’t go the way you expect. I felt the team at Obrien Mentone were professional, curteous, respectful of my time and above all else committed to do their best for me. I could not fault them.

O’Brien Real Estate Mentone have been amazing! Amie in particular - she is extremely professional and she went above and beyond in her search for our new home. She is genuine and took the time in getting to really understand what we were looking for. We can’t recommend Amie and the team at O’Brien Real Estate Mentone enough for their efforts!

Craig Harrison at O’Brian Real Estate recently helped us with the purchase/sale of our home. I presumed this was going to be so emotional and difficult as it was our first time, however with someone so understanding, knowledgeable and friendly guiding us through every step was a dream! Would 100% use again and can not rave about my experience more.

Anna Theoharopoulos was introduced to me by another agency in 2015 as a Property Manager who brings a high level of customer service and someone who will be of great assistance to take over the management of my property portfolio. She certainly has not disappointed.Anna’s approach has proven to be proactive, practical and professional. She follows up in a timely manner and carries out any enquiries I have made, effectively screens prospective tenants on the important things, is truthful and keeps me in the communication loop at all times.Overall, I am very pleased my properties are in her care and management.Ps. Thanks also O'Brien's RE Mentone for recently implementing technologies to support efficient management & control of communications between Landlord-PM-Tenant.

Sharyn and team provide excellent support and service in the leasing of our property. They recommended us to go for professional photo shoot and within a week, our property is up in RealEstate portal and with 1 inspection, we have 3 applications to review and shortlist. Sharyn listen and give her insight to leasing in mentone area which is valuable in getting the property leased. Well done !

They have excellent communication skills and were able to guide us through to the successful sale of our family home. In particular a big thankyou to Ami and Sam for your hard work.

Trevor and Elin were fantastic to work with and did an outstanding job in a tough market getting our house sold at auction. First time I've sold a house in Australia and Trevor was excellent in explaining the end to end process, but more importantly highlighting all the things that were important to get right, in order to get the best price and outcome. Communication all the way through was excellent from Trevor and Elin, on how things were progressing with the campaign and how we were looking leading up to the auction. Was a pleasure to work with Trevor and Elin and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell in the Cheltenham.

Had a great experience selling through OBrien Mentone with Chloe Barry and James Zweck. Communication was exceptional throughout. They provided great advice on repairs and how to present the unit, and connected us with a fabulous - and affordable - stylist. During the campaign period we could relax because we had full confidence that they had everything under control to get us the best possible result. On auction day the full team turned out and they all worked together to get an absolutely fantastic result (thanks guys). Would highly recommend!

I would recommend O'Brien Real Estate. As a team they were excellent, but in particular, Byron and Amie. Byron is a fantastic auctioneer. And Amie and the team were very help in preparing my house for auction, striking a good balance between advising me yet not being overly pushy.

We recently sold a couple of investment properties through O'Brien real estate. We dealt directly with James Zweck and Chloe Barry. Both were very courteous and professional. They made us feel entirely at ease, the process was both transparent and painless. I would have no hesitation in using their services again or in recommending them to our friends. Very impressed with their team and happy we made the choice to use O'Brien Real Estate in Mentone.
Great news for clients of OBrien Real Estate with the team achieving an 82% clearance at auctions this week.
This week we a look at the national figures which again support the strength in the property market not only here in Victoria but also across the country.
There were 2,837 homes taken to auction across the combined capital cities this week, returning a preliminary auction clearance rate of 74.5%. Last week, in what was the busiest auction week of the year, 3,206 auctions were held and the final clearance rate came in at 73.6%. Over the same week last year, auction volumes were lower with 2,631 homes going under the hammer across the combined capital cities, returning a final auction clearance rate of just 41%.
