My wife and I recently purchased a lifestyle property through Ben Hawan at Oliver Road Realestate we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Ben was very professional and accommodating for both the vendor and purchaser. Ben was helpful in explaining what we needed to do and putting us in touch with the right people. He was always available to answer any questions we had and contacted people to find solutions. If we were to sell our property or be looking for another we wouldn't hesitate to contact Ben first.

Ben's I.T. knowledge and marketing skills covered both local and international buyers which created a very broad interest that ultimately got us our target sale. The combination of brochures, websites, real estate magazines and hand delivered flyers were well presented and circulated to the wider market. We had heaps of positive feedback regarding the smart advertising street frontage sign which was the best around. Ben's communication skills were excellent he was on call 24/7 and came back to us as soon as we left a message He was very helpful advising us on his presentation ideas for preparing our home and farm for viewing of our open homes. His professionalism had our interests first and foremost in regards to every aspect regarding potential viewings with consulting on all aspects with home and farm. We felt very confident leaving Ben with our keys and dog in our absence. We have no hesitation recommending Ben as anyone's real estate agent at any level which we already have.

Ben always kept his word, got back to us promptly and never pushed too hard. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lifestyle property. Great agency and good approach. Thank-you.

The experience we had working with Cameron and Jason at Oliver Road was fantastic. From the first meeting we knew we were in the hands of true professionals. The marketing material and sales approach was far superior to their competitors. The sale went seamlessly with two offers within a week of marketing. We highly recommend anyone wanting to sell a superior property to engage Oliver Road. Thanks Linda and Ron Harley.

Jason and Cameron we're an amazing team. They put together an incredibly compelling and beautiful marketing package. Their suggestions on pricing and sales approach were spot on. Their depth of knowledge about the market and how to find the most likely buyers is unmatched. They got the job done and surpassed our expectations. I highly recommend them if you have a higher end home or lifestyle property.

I had excellent experience selling my home with Jason. Jason was always contactable and more than happy to help. His communication skills were prompt, professional and made selling my home stress free - nothing was any trouble! I would highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell your home.

Firstly, we should say that in our professional capacity we owned a recruitment company and spent 25 years lamenting employers who ‘oversold’, or even lied about the people they were acting as a referee for, so we do not give testimonials out lightly, and when we do, they are accurate. After dealing with dozens of real estate agents over the last 30 years, we can say Jason was the first & only experience to date that we could describe as enjoyable. He is literally moonbeams away from any other agent we have been exposed to. Plenty of agents are referred to as ‘professional’. Jason is so much more than professional. We found Jason to be someone who has a well-reasoned strategy for everything he proposes to do. He took the time to read the council file on the property we were selling and researched (ahead of the listing going ‘live’) answers to any potential question’s buyers may have, so he was able to speak with knowledge when the questions did arise. Jason thought through who he believed the target market was for our property, and put in place things that he believed would grab their attention ….not just the usual shotgun approach of advertising everywhere (all at the sellers expense). The marketing strategy he developed was less expensive than we expected, making good use of all forms of media, not just print. Jason kept us well informed throughout the process, including during the time between the sale and settlement. He provided us meaningful feedback from the people who viewed our property, both positive and the things people didn’t like. He was ‘accurate’ in what he fed back, he did not embellish or sugar coat to keep us happy. He was always constructive in his feedback. Ultimately the most important result is how quickly and how well you can secure a sale. Our property was sold only two weeks into the campaign at a price that we are very happy with. We actually trust Jason and his advice, for the first time, we did not feel the advice of our real estate agent

Although we engaged with a number of real estate companies that professed to specialise in high-end properties, choosing Oliver Rd and Jason to market our waterfront property was a very easy decision; and ultimately turned out to be a very prudent decision. From the very first contact Jason’s expertise and level of knowledge in this specialist market were obvious and he demonstrated integrity and commitment at levels that we have never before experienced. His communication and assistance through every step of the marketing process was tailored to us and our property and it was refreshing to work with a professional that didn’t want to ‘just sell the property’ but wanted to ensure it was marketed in exactly the right manner to achieve the best result. Generating lots of buyer interest, achieving a good outcome, and enjoying the process – this is the ultimate goal. Jason delivered all of this for us and we have no hesitation in recommending him as an absolute maestro in the high-end market.

Cameron and Jason have recently sold our property in Omokoroa. They make a terrific tag team. The negotiations from the time of selecting them as our agent of choice through to the sale was extremely professional and competant. Communication was superb. We very much appreciated the advice from Cameron on how to prepare for our open homes, Jason did a great job with the video presentation and their photographers and marketing people were exceptional. Between the whole well oiled team they produced an amazing sales campaign with professionalism to ensure we achieved the very best result.
