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.

Sold so fast and for a great price!I purchased my house off Nicola back in 2013 and was impressed with her then which made the decision to get her to sell it now even easier...Property was sold quickly and also her involvement in appeasing the tenants with home opens also helped.End price was fantastic as well and I can't recommend her highly enough!

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.

The Greatest Agent in Bayside - SOLD in 2 days off market 🙂First class - Kim was able to get many buyers through her “off-market strategy” by utilising only her database, this resulted in 2 offers and sold within two days!!!Kim was simply outstanding, top of her game. As an agent myself I know the level of service a seller would require and it’s a high standard. She has class in her presentation, her negotiation ability and way of communicating with buyers has been one of the best approaches I’ve seen in a long while. Kims commitment to you the as the client is on a level of extreme high standards.When it comes to communication, she simply is there any time you want to reach her - Literally. A seller always needs an agent they can trust, an agent they can call when they are in need and an agent that will strive to achieve the highest price the market will pay. Kim ticks those boxes and much more. Highly recommended, the best of the best. Sincere, respectful, cares about your needs at all times, one of the best. Truly.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
