I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to Slade Hocking at OPES. From the moment I met Slade he was polite and courteous, he took the time to answer my questions thoroughly. He was professional in his approach and nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience with Slade was fantastic - every step of the way! Great customer centric service.

Slade is great to work with. He likes to find out what you are looking from sale and than he delivers it. I guess sale is art not Science. Slade definitely have the art to make things happen. I will definitely use slade again.

Slade was a knowledgeable agent from the outset; a great mix of professional and personable. But a few mishaps post-ASAP signing, left us overall disappointed. We waited several weeks after settlement before it was indicated that the full set of house keys would be handed over to us. By then, we sounded like a broken record asking for keys so we changed all house locks. We also had a repair issue that wasn't resolved even after mentioning the problem to both Slade and another OPES colleague, Matt. We acknowledge that they have great real estate insights, but our experience with OPES post-signing has left us discouraged from using them again. And to top it off, after 2-3 odd months of dealing with Slade and team, whoever had written the review of us as clients misspelt one of our names (made up of four letters). An oddity, and an unfortunate overall experience.

Thank you Slade for being so patient and helpful throughout the entire journey. We loved the home, however, it took longer than our last purchase given our tricky situation. I'd said we'd never seal the deal if it wasn't because of your assistance. Absolutely recommend to other homeowners and buyers.

Slade answered all our questions to the best of his knowledge and helped us in securing a wonderful house in a great location. He worked very well as a bridge between us and the vendors. In multiple occasions he came up with great solutions to our concerns and provided middle ground for both parties which was essential for securing this deal. Good luck for all your future endeavours and once again many thanks from us for your service. Cheers

Very responsible, helpful agent. Thanks Slade!

Slade guided and helped us through the process of buying our first home despite he was hired by the vendor. The communication was great and smooth. Slade was always available to answer, clarify and address all our concerns throughout the entire process. We really enjoyed working with him and he was transparent. We highly recommend Slade for anyone who wants a good buying/selling experience, and we would definitely reach out to him again when we are ready to buy our investment property.

Slade sold 2 of my properties which at times was very challenging. Throughout the whole process I found Slade to be totally professional offering a variety of strategies keeping his finger on the pulse and communicating ongoing progress. Slade is very passionate about receiving the best possible price without being aggressive and carries out all the necessary due diligence on your behalf. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him and would use him again should the situation arise.

I was a buyer for a property being sold by Slade. Great real estate agent. Good communication, easy to work with and very informative. Would strongly recommend working with Slade in the future.

Slade is simply amazing ! He has now sold three properties for me and in each case, Slade sold the properties for MORE than the original offers !! He destroyed the myth that the first offer is usually the best offer !! His knowledge of the market is outstanding and his calm, persistent approach yields positive results if the vendor is prepared to be patient. I cannot recommend Slade highly enough to anyone thinking of selling their property. I might add that I pity the buyer because they will be persuaded by Slade to pay more for your property than they might with another agent !!!

Made the whole process easy, was easy to contact and the whole process was smooth from start to finish.

Slade went above and beyond when selling my home. Nothing was ever and issue and always had great communication. 10/10 would recommend.
