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

Professional, Reliable, ExceptionalJust like Batman & Robin, Claude & Kim make an amazing team that went above and beyond to achieve an exceptional result for the sale of our home in Edithvale. Claude is Punctial, reliable, honest and driven. He inspires confidence, and delivered results in a very short period of time.Gun Agent. If there was an option for 6 stars he would get it.

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!

We have engaged with Claude as buyer and seller, so we have witnessed him in both settings. Claude is a consummate professional no matter the role he performs. His communication, punctuality and friendly approach are second to none. One thing I greatly appreciated was his transparent and honest approach - clearly his reputation is everything to him. But more than anything, we always felt like his one-and-only client despite his busy schedule. Thank you Claude, you were amazing!

We found Nicola and her associate Ebony to be very professional, enthusiastic and very friendly. We were buying a home and knew that she was working for the vendor however at all times she made the whole process very very easy and did everything she could to accommodate our needs. I would highly recommend Nicola to anybody who is looking for a good agent they can trust.

After hunting for many weeks for a rental property and having no luck, Ashleigh went above and beyond to identify opportunities for us in advance of them even coming on the market. Our experience with other agents at opens asking if they could help was pretty poor - they would just direct us to their online listings - but Ashleigh actually took the time to understand what we were looking for, actively pursued properties for us, and kept us in communication to get us early inspections and options that really suited our needs. We are now really happy in a great place that feels like home! Thanks to the team at O’Brien for caring about quality outcomes for both their renters and landlords 🙂

BIG SHOUT-OUT FOR O'BRIEN REAL ESTATE CHELSEA. We have been with them since Sep-2015 and from the beginning their staff have always been professional and warm. Our current property manager Militia is an absolute superstar, the best by far! Her boss another superstar that has the ability to manage the business without missing the human and benevolent approach with their clients when needed.

after many months having our house on the market we decided to rent it out and use the rental team from O'Brien's and they were fantastic! Ashleigh and Brad from the rental team were so helpful, attentive, and really made our experience feel personable. I highly recommend using the Rental team at O'Brien's Chelsea.

I highly recommend Ashleigh and her staff at O’Brien’s, they found a new suitable tenant very quickly and nothing was too much trouble. O’Briens are very efficient and professional. I am very glad I changed agents, after having a bad experience at another agency.

Tanja Neven-Jones: We knew that when we ready to sell our unit, Tanja would be the best suited person to carry out that job. We lived in the unit, rented it out and all the while Tanja kept in touch with us providing us with the latest information on market trends. Over three years later and after developing such a great professional relationship with Tanja along the way we recently engaged her to sell our unit as always planned and sure enough she did not disappoint. She kept us up to date and aswered all our questions. Tanja was very honest and realistic and so professional and friendly too. We would highly recommend Tanja to anyone looking to sell. Thank you Tanja!

Tanja Neven-Jones is very experienced! We were really impressed with Tanja's professionalism and customer service level when we sold our home recently. She kept us informed about the whole process and updated us on a daily basis about progress achieved. We will definitely recommend Tanja to friends. Tanja really exceeded our expectations in achieving such a quick sale. Overall it was quite a seamless experience.

Claude Makdesi and Tamara Mladenovic were the perfect match to sell our two new townhouses. We had the properties listed with another agent but nothing was happening for a long time. We cautiously gave the listings to Claude and Tamara in Chelsea, even though our properties were in Mentone. We could not have made a better decision. Throughout the 4-week auction campaign they kept us informed, they did not attempt to "condition" us, and what we and our friends overheard of their discussions with buyers we were confident of the decision we made. One townhouse sold on the day of auction above our highest expectations, and a week later the second townhouse sold for slightly more. This can only be attributed to the excellent skills of both Claude and Tamara. They have our total recommendation to handling your proudest asset.

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%.
