Their understanding of the markets and buyer behaviours was something i had not experienced before in real estate and it was refreshing to see the property being treated and marketed as the unique home it was rather than lumped in with so called comparable properties. I have purchased and sold properties in the UK and NZ and have never received this level of timely, accurate information, it was outstanding. The real estate industry could learn a thing or two from Oliver Road
Honestly enjoyed working with Vinny and Michelle to get our property sold. They made the process seamless and got us the result we were after. Highly recommend these two awesome people.
Thomas was absolutely fantastic to work with during our purchasing process. He is approachable, professional, knowledgeable and provides great advice. He is open and honest and made us feel like we were the only clients he was working with due to his attentiveness and very prompt responses. He works all hours of day and night, 7 days a week to help get a deal done. Always just a phone call or text away, it felt no question or request was ever too much and he was always more than happy to assist. I’d highly recommend Thomas to anyone needing a trusted realtor to guide them through the buying process. He makes it quick, easy and seamless.
Cleighton has in-depth knowledge of property sales and easily answers any difficult questions. His energy, communication are prevalent consistently.
Excellent communicator who listens actively, exercises patience and is very knowledgeable in his approach to marketing a property. Thomas is direct, honest and always acts in a professional manner and highly skilled at negotiating to achieve a positive result for all parties. Overall, we are extremely satisfied and will certainly call on Thomas again if required!
Kelli kept us well informed, shared relevant information of buyer interest and was proactive in solving any problems that appeared. Her expertise in the real estate field was obvious from the start. Ideas for the photos, styling, and her enthusiasm to market the property, made us feel confident that we had a great property to sell from our first meeting with her. Time spent with getting to know us also made for a special overall experience. Her communication with potential buyers kept them interested in our property from the beginning of the campaign, releasing relevant information to them as required and bringing complete transparency to their purchase, which was important to us. The final negotiations were in our best interests, although lower than our expectations we were able to accept the final offer knowing it was the right decision for us. At no part of the campaign did we feel pressured to make decisions we were not completely sure about. Big thanks to Kelli for supporting us through this huge life decision in such a caring and honest way.
Bernie went above and beyond for us as first home buyers and made the whole process so easy. She always asked the right questions on behalf of us and seamlessly facilitated all communications between us at the vendors. Highly recommend! Thanks so much Bernie.

Austin Real Estate are highly professional with good negotiating skills. We are aware that our property was not a straightforward house to sell with several setbacks along the way, however we got there in the end. We may not have got what we wanted but we got what we needed to allow us to move on to the next phase of our life.
