I would highly recommend O’Brien Real Estate Chelsea, If you planing on selling Tanja Neven Jones is the best, she sold two of our properties so far in a record time, she literally sold our house in two days, before the “for sale” board arrived, the house was already sold, for a really good price as well.So, if you want a quick sale, top price for your property, professional service, Tanja is your best choice.All the others are great and professional as well.Thank you O’Brien will definitely go with you next time we sell.

Selling our propertyKimberley is undoubtedly a star. Her passion and enthusiasm is undeniable. Nothing is ever too much for her and her response times are incredibly speedy. Her knowledge in buying and selling is evident and her presentation in herself and presenting our property are of a superior standard. Her constant positive energy is so refreshing particularly during this challenging climate. She is warm compassionate and definitely in the right field of employment. And to top it off she sold our property for a higher price than expected. What more can I say. I will be recommending her to anyone who is buying out selling. From the bottom of our hearts thanks so much Kim for helping my dream come true.

Kim was ann absolute inspiration in helping us sell our home in Edithvale. Kim builds trust and a real understanding of your goals and aligns it with thoughtout passinate execution. I believe the buyers also build the same genuine trust with Kim which helps buyers purchase their dream property as well. So I would recommend Kim and team not just to sell with but also to buy from! Well done and thank you once again!

Honest! Knowledgeable! Fantastic Agent!Tanja and her assistant Adele were simply flawless throughout our first home buying experience. Tanja and Adele made our experience as stress free as possible. Even during this COVID climate they were accomodating and went above and beyond to get the job done. We highly recommend Tanja and Adele's buying/selling expertise to everyone!

Selling in Tough timesNicola has done an awesome job, she has managed to sell my house in between the two lock downs. The house was only on the market for 3 weeks. She has helped me out multiple times with valuations at short notice over the years. I rate her highly as an agent and i have all ready recommended her to friends.Thanks again Nicola!

A great experienceKimberley was really awesome. Her communication was excellent and she took the time to really understand what we were looking for. Her local knowledge was of great benefit and you could tell she has a real connection with the area. With every interaction she was willing to help and every request was met with a can do attitude. She was very patient and supportive through the whole process and she kept us informed along the way. I have no reservations and would highly recommend.

Couldn’t have asked for better!Tanja Neven-Jones was absolutely the stand out when I interviewed potential agents to sell my home. She was considerate, well researched and honest in her approach to the sale. I trusted her direction and plan, and was rewarded with an excellent outcome. She also introduced me to the new home I purchased, and that purchase could not of been smoother. I can’t recommend her enough!

6 Star Service for an Incredible AgentTanja was an incredible agent that we couldn't have been happier with! With Tanja's knowledge, experience and understanding of the buyers market she was able to make us feel comfortable with our decision to put our property up for sale. Tanja knows her stuff and is one of the top agents in our area for a reason! We sold our property within one week of putting our house on the market with Tanja keeping us updated and informed through the entire process. If any of my family or friends were looking to sell in the area I'd recommend this Agent to not just get the job done but to get the job done with impressive results. Thank you so much Tanja for all your hard work! If I could leave you 6 stars I would!

We chose Tanja due to her wealth of knowledge, friendliness, experience and sales results in the Chelsea area. She guided us through the selling process and instilled us with confidence by keeping us updated the whole way. We could not have been happier with the result and would recommend Tanja to anyone considering selling their property.

Hardest working agent in town!!I used Tanja to sell our property recently and couldn't have been happier with all aspects of her service. She is honest, professional, hard working and gave fantastic advice and support throughout the entire process. Even in the middle of the COVID-19 lock down she still managed to get a great price! We'll definitely use her again - thanks Tanja!

From start to finish of our sale campaign Tanja was friendly, honest, professional and simply amazing to communicate and deal with. She made the sale of our first renovated home so simple and a joy. I really do miss her daily calls now that we have sold! Thanks a million Tanja!

Vanda and the team did whatever is possible to get the best price for our property during this difficult time that we are in. I truly do not think any other agency could have done any better. This is not the first the property that Vanda and the team have managed to sell for us. I have used their services before and continue to use them again. Highly recommended for other client.

O'Brien Real Estate Chelsea is an exceptional business when it comes to rentals. Both June Taylor and Brad Gane were a great help when it came to us vacating the property. Would highly recommend and would rent through them again and if I was to ever have a rental property would trust my property in their hands.

Tanja was able to offer sound advice prior to us putting our house on the market and through the sale process was particularly supportive and sold the property within 5 days. We would highly recommend Tanja and her team for not only their outstanding service but also their exceptional knowledge of the area.

Excellent opportunity to purchase in Bonbeach with Nicola as our agent.Meeting Nicola a couple of weeks ago at a private open home in Bonbeach was amazing. My partner and I really appreciated her openness and friendless as we looked through the home.She had a great insight into the local property market and provided us with a detailed view of the area and the surrounding neighbours. Nicola was extremely easy to deal with and was available to take our calls anytime.Not once did we feel pressured or rushed throughout the transaction.Overall we had one of the best experiences we've ever had when purchasing a new property to call home.

Kim is a phenomenal agent, honest and realistic and delivers.Other than fantastic, there is not much to say. Kim was honest, did everything she said she would do from the initial meeting and getting to know us, through to Auction day. She has a commanding knowledge of the market, recent sales, both from O'Brien and other agents, she was proactive in helping wherever she could. Having spoken to other vendors who used Kim they said similar things, she is a phenomenal agent, honest and realistic, she works very hard and delivers on everything she says.Dave and Kerstin.

Caring, confident and excellent communication!From the first meeting with Tanja, I knew she would be able to deliver. Tanja is straight to the point, communicates well and regularly with updates and strategies to make things happen. She was always available for a question or a chat, is honest and most of all caring. I was apprehensive about what the selling process would be like, however felt I could place my full trust in Tanja, her excellent local knowledge, and her ability to get us what we wanted for our property. And she delivered. We are very happy with the result and would recommend Tanja to anyone needing to sell in this area.

I'm still pinching myself!I cannot begin to express adequately just how grateful I am to have had this amazing team from O’Briens Chelsea steering the ship for us for the sale of our family home in Edithvale.Kim, shhhh, don’t tell anyone but I knew she was “our” agent at our first meeting! She knocked my socks off when she bought a well thought out, appropriate and inspiring pitch to the table. Throughout the campaign she proved herself to be a smart, articulate, organised and warm human that has contributed to not only realising but far exceeding our dreams of selling this house! Kim was always available, upfront and honest and encouraging and kind when the magnitude of what we were doing would hit me at times. My heartfelt thanks to her for making a massive event in our lives a truly enjoyable one!Kim & Claude both are truly a new breed of real estate agent in my mind and far exceeded every expectation I had when they consistently went above and beyond to help us get on the market in a short space of time and throughout the campaign. They never once failed to impress us with their knowledge of the area, their punctuality and NOTHING was ever any bother. I was reassured countless times in countless ways by their confidence, professionalism, efficiency and friendliness.I’m aware that this recommendation reads like somewhat of a love letter but I have already and will continue to recommend Claude and Kim to everyone and sundry whenever I get the chance. The type of good service that they provided is a rarity today and they’ve proven themselves thoroughly to me, most especially with the price that we achieved at auction for our house... I’m still pinching myself! Thank you

10/10 for TanjaI couldn't have asked for a better result. Tanja is a person at the top of her game when it comes to real estate. A lovely person who knows the local area well and made the whole process easy. Our property sold within a very short time which was fantastic and I would recommend Tanja and the team at O'Brien Real Estate without hesitation.

Peter Helmi has secured me the best possible outcome in downsizing in a very short time. Peter organised an inspection of a property, not easily accessible for viewing, with another agent. Made and secured an offer on my behalf for the property with a very generous settlement period to allow plenty of time to sell my property.Marketing strategy sorted for my property and listed on the internet for one week it was time to open my house for inspection. In just one week healthy interest was generated, a very good turn out at the open and offers were made that afternoon. My property was under contract by Monday morning.Peter’s advice and support has been invaluable throughout the whole process of buying and selling. As well as being a very professional Real Estate Agent, Peter is polite, kind and offers a lot of additional very helpful advice. I would wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anybody needing to buy or sell their property.

Couldn’t have asked for a better result!We had originally chosen Tanja after looking through ‘Rate my Agent’ due to her clear expertise in the local area and she exceeded our expectations.Tanja was very professional at all times and made herself available whenever we had questions. But the most important thing is that Tanja was straight down the line with us about everything which is exactly what we wanted.We are so thrilled that Tanja managed to sell our property before we even went to market, then sold us our new property the very next day.I couldn’t recommend Tanja any higher for her local knowledge, her enthusiasm and her hard work!
