We had a great experience working with Matt Oliver. His communication was clear and consistent throughout the process, and he worked hard to achieve a great result for our property. We’d happily recommend him to others looking to sell, especially in OT!

Great communication from the start. Listened to our needs and took them on board. Worked hard to find buyers in a slow market in a limited time frame. Very professional in her approach and never felt pressured into anything. We feel Marlene went above and beyond to make the deals happen and to work for us. From our first conversation, she made us feel confident she would get the best possible outcomes, which she succeeded in. I would absolutely recommend Marlene to someone else and if we found ourselves going through this process again, would approach her again.
Marlene was excellent with her communication keeping us updated and informed. She would get back to us promptly with any concerns we had.
We had a great experience working with Heatha. She communicated clearly throughout the entire process and always maintained a positive attitude. Heatha was incredibly supportive, always happy to answer any questions we had, and her knowledge of the market was outstanding. We really appreciated her guidance and would happily recommend her to others.
Matt was great to work with in the sale of our home. As we live in Australia he was so helpful in arranging trades people, and arranging anything we needed to get ready for sale. Matt was honest and helpful in every way, even helping after hours to check on things as we couldn't, as living overseas. The whole team was great and professional in everything. I highly recommend Matt and hope to deal with him again in the future
Communication, negotiation skills, professionalism
We purchased our first home through Matt last year and were incredibly impressed. He’s professional, easy to communicate with, and made the buying process straightforward. If you're looking for a top-tier agent in CHB, Matt is your man!
Excellent negotiation skills and communication was completed in a professional manner to achieve the sale. Absolutely loved the experience from first visit to the the finial nervous days to say we had won the tender. We are so proud to be part off Otane and love our relocation and development off the old Otane bowling club which now is being converted into a Mediterranean style home being a suitable style for the old but solid concrete and steel building we feel this will complement and transform it to its glory. Congratulations to all involved and the lovely welcoming by the local community.
We had a fantastic experience with Molly and Jane from Property Brokers. They were professional, supportive, and kept us well-informed throughout the entire process. Their honesty, clear communication, and genuine care made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Jane and Molly have been lovely to deal with in this process. Have dealt with Jane many times over the years and very happy once again. Molly has enhanced the experience

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility.
