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.
Nicholas & (Your Property Hq) Thank you so much for the amazing job you did selling our house! You turned what could have been a very stressful process into a smooth and successful experience. We truly appreciate your hard work, constant communication, and dedication to getting us the best result.Warm regards, Tim B
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.

Great help with minor maintenance required
If you require a forward thinking Real Estate Agent then Anton Terblanche from Bayleys is the most obviously choice. Anton was realistic as to what the best journey would be for us and run a really good advertising campaign. He was unrelenting in following up leads and kept them interested. We were always kept informed and given good sound advise. It all ended with the best possible outcome we could have expected and don't think this result could have been achieved by many other agents.
Anton and Elize were always well prepared and sensitive to a very difficult situation . It wasn't just the role of an agent delivering information or progress or lack of progress, it was becoming a friend and confidant that saw us through to a very long process. Thanks Anton and Elize ÿo
Bernie has considerable experience in real estate and demonstrated this by her friendly and efficient approach. She displayed extensive market knowledge and also general knowledge. She gave sage advice, based on her experience. She is very easy to get along with, very approachable. She obviously had our best interests at heart at all times, and we would highly recommend Bernie as a real estate agent.
Bernie has a very broad knowledge of all things related to the sale of a house. She did everything needed to secure the sale of my house at a price acceptable to me. She has a strong, calm, confident personality and kept me fully informed all the way through. She also has a strong in depth knowledge of the area. I would recommend Bernie Limbrick to work on your behalf.
Having just sold our beautiful home through Oliver Road Tauranga, I would like to offer our experience through the process. We first met with Jason and Ben at our property when we were looking to see who we would choose to represent us in the upper market range of properties. This was a very easy decision to make after that meeting. They gave us their time with no pressure, and their professionalism was outstanding. The journey has been a pleasant one from the beginning to the point of sale with them helping with the issues an overseas buyer has to weave their way through. Once sold, Oliver Road has continued to help us through the sale of our furniture and equipment and through it all, we have ended up with two new friends. Would I recommend them? Yes, absolutely. They are an extremely professional team and a pleasure to work with.

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.
