Suzette has been super helpful and continue to be with our newly leased house from the start. She's very efficient and diligent with all the paperworks and procedures. Warm and nice in person, too. It was overall a really awesome experience with her help! Highly recommend :))

Suzette was so helpful, personable and fun to deal with!She assisted me from the viewings, application (ours were tricky due to odd work arrangements), moving in, all the way to organising maintenance. She continues to be professional, warm and astute with all her dealings and truly goes above and beyond. She's also good for a laugh which is a nice change of pace from the other real estates where you feel like a number.To be honest, this is the first positive real estate experience ive ever had, so it has really made my life easier than I could of imagined at a tough time. I highly recommend if you're looking in this area to get Suzette and her team on your side. Thankyou!!! JT

Seamless experience:I’ve just completed my lease with O’Brien Real Estate Preston and must say that our agent Suzette has been the most straight forward agent I’ve ever dealt with. By straight forward, I mean no hidden terms and conditions in her communications. She has been very cooperative during the lease term and have tried her best to resolve any property related concerns. She has timely completed her inspections and I was very relieved to discover that she was not unnecessarily looking to make money by raising trivial concerns. Moreover, she has processed the rental bond without any delay on her part.These traits are hard to find in real estate agents and for that reason, I’ll definitely recommend O’Brien Real Estate.

Konn and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Konn’s market knowledge and experience is second to none. We felt very comfortable putting our biggest asset in his capable hands. He is very professional, enthusiastic and friendly and always kept us informed which made the process much easier. Most importantly, he promised a sale price and delivered by securing our full asking price after just the second property inspection. We were extremely impressed with the results and we cannot thank him enough.

Being new to the property market and looking to buy my first home was a daunting experience. It made it so much easier and less stressful after I was put in touch with Konn from OBrien Real Estate.Konn was able to provide me with not only more than a few options of some fantastic properties, but also properties in my price range.Konn was friendly and professionally and made the whole process an actual enjoyable experience.Will definitely recommend Konn and the team from OBrien Real Estate in the future.Thank you Konn!

I’ve dealt with many realestate agents in the past but none have been more helpful and knowledgeable than Konn P. The information he provided and level of professionalism was outstanding and I would highly recommend Obrien real estate to everyone. Thank you Konn.

My experience with Konn has been nothing short of exceptional. Recently I had reached out to Konn to assist me in finding a property that would meet all my required needs. Throughout the past 2 months, Konn has been great with his communication by keeping me updated with property’s on the market and general information in regards to the housing market as a whole. His transparency and honesty with the overall process thus far has assured me that with his knowledge and understanding of the market, he can be trusted. Thank you Konn for everything so far.

Suzette is the type of agent you need: quick, responsive and straight to the point. She quickly dealt with any issues in our apartment and was flexible where she could be. If we ever have a rental, it will be going through these guys. Thanks Suzette and team!

OBrien Real Estate Preston /Reservoir manage my rental property and we recently had a serious bathroom emergency on our hands. The manner in which OBrien Real Estate were able to deal with the issues was exemplary. The professionalism and efficiency with respect to management of the various issues that arose was a great relief to and I cannot recommend OBrien Real enough. Thank you.

A massive thankyou to George and the team at Obrien Real Estate. Selling my mothers home after her passing was very hard but George had our back. He made the process extremely easy and was exceptional during the process. Auction day was hard but due to the dedication of the team we were able to achieve far beyond our expectation. I cant begin the thank Obrien Real Estate and George enough for their hard work and dedication.

George (and Gino) were both professional, courteous and relatable. They were responsive to my requests for information and prompt with their service. If I had to purchase or sell, these are the people I would use to do so. Could not speak higher of their expertise!

We have found Suzette at O'Briens to be an excellent property manager. She is great with communicating and is thorough in reviewing tenant applications. We are very happy with the service from O'Obriens and would recommend them to anyone looking for an agent in the Preston/ Reservoit area.

OBrien Real Estate have been very attentive to all maintenance issues needing attention. They would call and email me to check in with me to make sure I was content with the service they have provided. I have a 9 month old baby and when they attend to the flat they are very mindful and respectful of this.They are excellent at following through.

Melanie went above and beyond my expectations in assisting me to secure a rental property. If you are looking to rent a property, or looking for a property manager to manage your property, I couldn't recommend her more highly. She is very easy to communicate with, thorough, good attention to detail, with a friendly and straight forward disposition.

Melanie has been wonderful to deal with since the moment we met her at the inspection of the property that we are now currently living in. The leasing team are exceptionally thorough, personable and diligent when it comes to any requests we have made. I would highly recommend them for any landlords looking for an agency, or tenants looking for properties. We love the house that O'Brien Real Estate has helped us make our home.

Suzette managed to secure me a fantastic tenant quickly. For once an agent that reviews tenants sufficiently. Never had a problem with tenants refusing to pay rent since moving to O'Briens Preston/Reservoir. Great small family run business operated by Suzette and Paul.

A big thank you to Paul and the team for selling my mum's place. You did everything you could to make it as easy as possible for my mum and with as less stress as possible. It was not easy saying goodbye to the family home of 34 years. Paul was very professional and great with providing us updates on everything. Thank you again.
