We first heard of OH Property Group from a friend but were unsure as to whether we need to use a buyer’s agent. …

After attending a seminar that Henny gave on property investment, we were impressed by her extensive knowledge of the market and thus decided to go ahead and sign up with her. Henny and Oliver were very friendly and professional and right from the beginning, gave us very good advice as well as helped us to set realistic expectations as to what we can buy with our budget. We had very specific criteria which made the search harder but Henny’s enthusiasm and drive together with Oliver’s excellent negotiation skills gave us confidence that they will find the perfect property for us. The fact that they are familiar with many of the selling agents in the area and the tactics they use when selling properties is also a big plus.

Along the way we came across a few properties that we thought could work for us. We really appreciated how Henny would breakdown the pros and cons for each property as well as take lots of photos for us. This made it easier for us to decide whether to go ahead with pursuing the property. Once we have made the decision, Henny and Oliver moved quickly to help us to secure the property at a great price. This was before the house has even been listed for sale. I have no doubt that it would have sold for a much higher price had it been put on the market.

With OH Property Group, we have always felt that they were on our side and looking out for our best interest. Even after we have exchanged contracts, they continue to go above and beyond to help us whenever we have any questions or problems. They truly make purchasing a property so much easier and stress free. I have already recommended them to a friend and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs help purchasing a property.

We would like to thank Oliver for his services as we don’t believe we would have been successful in the purchase of our property without his expertise and guidance. Oliver was thorough, considered, and he took time to understand our situation and tailored his approach accordingly. Oliver was proactive with his communication and the experience for us was seamless and stress free. We will not hesitate to engage Oliver’s services for future opportunities. Thanking you again Oliver for your help and valued insights and we look forward to working with you again in future.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your services since we engaged you just over a month ago. You have been nothing but helpful, frank and diligent and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results.

We knew we needed a Buyer’s Agent when we realised what a challenge it was going to be buying in the current seller’s market, in a market/area we were unfamiliar with and within such a tight timeframe (within 2 months). …

After it took us over 9 painful months and dealing with every type of ratbag selling agents out there before purchasing our first home, we weren’t going to risk going through that again this time around.

We sought you out after reading about you on the North Shore Mums website and haven’t been disappointed. You worked tirelessly to narrow down our criteria and to educate us on all the aspects of purchasing a home, from location, construction of a building and looking beyond the aesthetics, to the negotiation phase and securing the deal. You got us comfortable with the areas in the Upper North Shore that were within our limited budget and you have helped us secure, not only a beautiful home, but one that will serve our family well and set us up for the future.

Your knowledge and expertise in what you do is incredible and the enthusiasm in which you put into your work is so evident in everything you do. We have found your unlimited advice and attention to detail invaluable and even now, post-purchase, your generosity and advice is still pouring in and we are ever so grateful. Without you there is no way we would have secured our gorgeous new home and in such perfect timing! It has been great working with you both. You’ve made the buying process much easier for us this time around and we wouldn’t think twice about using you again or recommending you to any of our family and friends.

We are extremely pleased with Oliver’s services. He is a seasoned professional with deep knowledge of the market. When we found the right property for us, he got the buyers’ target price and negotiated a substantial discount that resulted in 100%+ immediate return on investment. All of this was done in a “sellers” market!

Oliver is a person with high integrity who always has the client’s best interest as a priority. He is passionate about the real estate market and always willing to share knowledge. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again and kindly recommend his services to anyone who is interested in buying a property.

We had been casually looking to buy a house for around 2 years. The thrill of the chase motivated and excited us to find our dream home. We would turn up every Saturday morning, queued in a long twisting line with the rest of Sydney, convincing ourselves that perhaps the rising damp would help keep the place cool or that the termites would make nice pets.

But once we had sold our home and we were seriously looking, the love affair ended abruptly when we did in-fact find that dream home, only to have it squashed and flicked away by a particularly callous selling agent.

Realising we had lost the game before it had even began, we decided we needed serious people for a serious job. …

On a recommendation from a friend, we called Henny and Oliver from OH Property Group.

Within the first moments of meeting Henny, we felt motivated and bathed in her knowledge, within days we had a list of exciting properties to inspect, and a breezy two weeks later we were taking photos of our kids piled against the sold sign of our dream home.

How did they do it? Henny and Oliver can handle the negotiation side of buying a home far better than we ever could have. They have the experience, insider knowledge, and can talk the talk. But it’s not just buying or searching for properties that they master, it’s every facet of the property market; from lenders to solicitors to building inspectors. It was a very stress free experience for us.

Within the time we have worked with Henny and Oliver they have been nothing short of amazing. Professional, friendly, extremely thorough and truly dedicated to helping us realise our dream. Henny managed to secure a property for us well under budget and we will now be spending that extra money on exciting renovations to a home that we never thought we could afford.

Never again will we attempt to buy a property without them.

After five months of searching for ourselves, we decided to speed things up and call Henny and Oliver. Two weeks later, we had purchased our dream family home. Our budget was modest and we thought we couldn’t afford a buying agent and that they were only for people with really big budgets. But they were so valuable in our very competitive price bracket. We hadn’t realised how wrong we were getting it, falling for every trick in the book. Henny and Oliver were tenacious in their search, review, recommendation and bidding. They listen to what it was we wanted in our home and where we could be flexible. They were frank and honest with us about what was on the market and what we wanted. They were realistic, compassionate and motivated. They wanted a home for our girls as much as we did. We felt like we were on the winning team from the time we called them. I just wish we had done it earlier!

After viewing well over 50 properties across the upper north shore, we finally found the house that ticked the most important boxes and would serve us well for the next 10 years or more. We had to have it! Unfortunately, it was ‘offers over’, and our maximum budget was $15k lower than the price guideline. There was no way we could stretch the budget any more.

Henny appraised the property and devised a bold strategy based on our budget restriction. Every step of the negotiation process was strategically crafted and every action very deliberate. A big part of Henny’s job is understanding psychology. She understands not only how buyers think but also how the vendor, selling agent and even competing buyers think. It was like watching a chess game unfold and Henny was able to think several steps ahead and take control of the negotiation process. Instead of being pushed around and dictated by the selling agent, it was nice to be in the driver’s seat for a change. In a seller’s market, this is no mean feat! It felt great to be able to negotiate with confidence. …

What I love about Henny is that she gets straight to the point, and doesn’t waste any time. She knows the Sydney property market intimately…. and most importantly, she understands the tactics used by Real Estate Agents. She is worth her weight in gold. Without her advice and guidance, there is no way we would have secured the house that is now our home. Not only did she save us at least $15,000, she also ensured we got the home we want.

Although we had an idea of the type of property we wanted, we were struggling to find the time to look through all the properties and getting to understand all the different nuances associated with each property. From the outset Henny and her team were easy to deal with, starting with helping us isolate the type of properties that met our criteria and budget through to finalising the sale. …

Some of the aspects of the service we really valued were the breakdown of the pros and cons of each property that made it to the shortlist, the valued advice from experts that know the area and the properties and the care and attention to customer service. The details really helped us in our decision making while the client-first mentality really made it easy to buy our property.

The property we ended up buying had 17 contracts out on the first open house inspection on a Saturday. Henny contacted me straight away and insisted I take a look. She organised a private inspection on the following Monday and by the next day we were ready to exchange contracts. She knew how to get us to the finish line by positioning us correctly and having an open communication with the real estate agent.

On the day of the contract exchange my husband and I were rushed to ER due to our boy being sick. I was about to give up on the property as the contracts needed to be in at 9:00 PM at the real estate agent’s office. But Henny and Oliver made their way to the hospital, went through the contract with us and then rushed to the real estate agent to hand the contract in. Not only was I grateful but blown away by their dedication and professionalism.

They really made the whole property buying process so much easier and stress-free and even enjoyable. Because it’s no fun looking at crappy properties and being disheartened by what’s out there. At least with OH Property Group, you only see the properties that meet your criteria and should you decide to go ahead with a particular property, everything else is done by them. We have already recommended OH Property to our friend who now has hired them to search for their own property. Needless to say, we will use OH Property Group’s services again to buy our next property!

As first home buyers in such a competitive market, we quickly realised we needed some help and we couldn’t be more pleased that we chose OH Property Group.

From the moment we started working with Henny, her dedication to her clients became clear. We always found her to be incredibly insightful, thorough and trustworthy. In all things, she truly went above and beyond for us. The simple truth is that without Henny, we couldn’t have bought the house we really wanted within our price range. …

Henny’s comprehensive understanding of the current state of the market and individual real estate agents allowed her to tailor-make a strategy that is unique to our circumstances. OH Property Group’s high quality contacts in conveyancing and building inspection give confidence and enabled a quick turnaround, which allowed us to be a step ahead of the competition.

And really, if vendors have someone who understands real estate working for them, why shouldn’t we? Choosing OH Property Group was the best real estate decision we made.

At the beginning of 2013, we started looking to buy a family home in Sydney’s North Shore. We are Aussie expats living in Hong Kong with plans to move back to Sydney in the next few years. Initially we thought we could do the property search ourselves online and send relatives to view properties on our behalf. After several months into the search we realised that it was not progressing well due to the following factors: (1) it was difficult for us to gauge property values in the fast moving Sydney property market, (2) it was difficult to properly assess the quality and location of the property simply by looking online, (3) selling agents did not respond as quickly to email inquiries since we were located overseas, and (4) good properties were being snapped up quickly and we were missing out. …

In August 2013, we decided to engage the help of buyers agents Henny & Oliver Stier, based on a friend’s recommendation. From the start, we found Henny and Oliver to be very professional and knowledgeable. They provided advice on suburbs suited to our budget and property requirements.  Throughout the search they communicated regularly via email as well as arranged calls at times convenient for us given our time zone difference.

We returned to Sydney in October 2013 for two weeks holiday and met with Henny and Oliver in person to progress our property search.  Oliver took us on a suburbs tour to see some areas that we were not familiar with that represented good value and were within our budget. They also lined up several short-listed properties for us to view. One of these properties we loved. Henny and Oliver worked very hard to secure this property for us and we successfully purchased it pre-auction at a price within their recommended appraisal. The offer process was expertly handled by them.

We could not be more pleased with our purchase given the current strong property market, and are certain that we would not have achieved this favourable outcome without Oliver and Henny’s help.

Upon our return to Hong Kong, Henny and Oliver continued the frequent communication and helped facilitate a smooth settlement. We were so happy with their service that we appointed them property managers of our property. Within a month of settlement (a few days before Christmas Day), they secured a tenant for us, as well as promptly handled property maintenance matters.

We have no hesitation in recommending Henny and Oliver to other prospective buyers and to our family and friends. They went above and beyond what we had expected from a buyers agent. We were very impressed by their dedication, excellent service and attention to detail. Their expertise and advice are invaluable and gave us great comfort to know that one of our biggest financial purchases was a sensible one.

Thank you Oliver and Henny for a job very well done!
