We were surprised when Ben walked down our long drive, our property is at the end of a road, down a very steep hill. Nobody walks down our drive. We found out later he had walked down the hill from the "private road" sign and walked back up. We were planning on putting our property on the market in the next few months, so his timing was good. His friendly but highly professional approach was impressive from the get-go. We had had some other agents out giving appraisals, but Ben and the Oliver Road package offered far more. We weren't disappointed, Ben gave us a 'to do list' to prepare the property, he even helped with the weed eating. A big job mid summer. We agreed a marketing start date for the intensive 4 week campaign. We were impressed with the wide coverage of the campaign. Ben was in touch often, kept us fully informed all the way through, we couldn't have asked for more. Any questions were answered promptly. Within 7 weeks we had an unconditional offer that we were very pleased with. The settlement period was quite long but Ben stayed involved and keeping us informed all the way. You couldn't ask for a nicer, better mannered agent. Ben gets results without being pushy, he was a pleasure to work with.

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.
