We recently worked with Oliver and his team to acquire an investment property. Oliver was professional and worked patiently with us to achieve our goal, at the pace we wanted to take our search. His weekly emails detailing the shortlisted properties made our Saturday morning viewings relatively stress-free and and he was strategic when it came to the final negotiations. We would highly recommend Oliver and hope to be able to utilise his services again for our next property investment.

I was randomly browsing through internet for general information on buyers’ agent. I found Henny, and people have written good reviews about her.

I work overseas but need to acquire in home in Sydney before I retire. There is only limited time that I can spend in Sydney to enable me to look for a home to purchase. At first I was skeptical. I was not sure how I could convey my property requirement to Henny in a few lines especially when I am not the sort of people who could express myself very well in words. After several telephone conversations, showing Henny examples of the properties that I like and a description of my overseas dwelling, Henny managed to work out my likes and dislikes. …

She works very hard. She is also willing to talk over the phone late at night and on weekends.

At the Auction, Henny and her team acted very professionally. I managed to successfully purchase my home through Auction at a price that is slightly lower than the vendor’s agent’s indicative price. And I think I would also engage a buyers’ agent for my next purchase.

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.

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!

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!

Being a first home buyer, we had missed out on a few properties due to a lack of experience; insufficient clarity on exactly what we wanted, and also a disadvantage in terms of information versus the real estate agents. After we engaged OH Property Group, we were able to address all of these shortfalls.

More than making sure we were paying a fair price, Henny and Oliver asked us the right questions to understand what we valued in a property as a couple. The criteria they created for us made sense, both from a numbers perspective, but also took into consideration the stage of life we are in and our plans for the future. …

Their expertise in the field became evident very quickly, and without their dedication, professionalism, and impeccable contacts in the industry, it is by no means an exaggeration to say that our search would have went on for longer. At the rate that prices are going up in this market, this represented a clear return on our investment, and we would not hesitate to recommend that others do the same.

OH Property Group helped us find our first home and we are delighted with our purchase and with the service of OH Property Group.

We had never heard of Buyers’ Agent until we encountered OH Property Group and we thought it was a good idea to use them for two reasons:

We were not familiar with the housing market; and
We just had a baby and therefore had no time to look around.

…

OH Property sat down with us and went through our requirements from practical and lifestyle as well as investment point of view – what suburbs we preferred, what type of house we were looking for, how close to public transport we wanted (just to mention a few). They even came up with things regarding buying a house that we, being first home buyers hadn’t thought of.

Based on the information and budget we had given to them, they then started looking. In the end they saved us time because they inspected properties that fell within our price range to make sure it fitted our criteria before showing it to us. We therefore only had to visit those properties that would be most suitable for us instead of spending lots of time (that we didn’t have) going through the ads and all the properties that were not suitable.

They saved us money because they also knew the housing market and had information as to how much other comparable properties have sold for, therefore, ensuring we wouldn’t overpay for our property.

We were advised to let the Auction for our new house pass-in and in the end, we acquired the property for $165,000 below the Vendor’s Bid at auction. This savings means the Buyers’ Agent fees essentially paid for themselves multiple times over (and at the same time we were spared all the stress and work of the process).

Our Agent was always thorough, professional, informative, patient and helpful. It was definitely worth the money and we would recommend it to anyone, especially those who are busy and those who don’t know the property market well.

OH Property Group has a wealth of knowledge that would put your mind at ease knowing that someone knows what they are doing and they are looking after your interests as the buyer.

We decided to use a Buyers’ Agent for several reasons. The most notable benefits of using a OH Property Group for us were:

Guidance
Having real estate experts provide insight into the market
Unbiased advice
Speaking on our behalf and giving us a voice
Having someone negotiate and guide us through the whole process of buying a property

…

We appreciated the clear and consistent communication throughout the process, and it gave us comfort and confidence that we would make the right decisions.

Advice given was unbiased and detailed pros and cons. We were informed of advantages and risks at every stage of the decision making process. We feel that this gave us a clear advantage over other buyer in that we were provided with information and insights that would not normally be considered.

We feel we made the right decision to engage OH Property Group and we were most definitely happy to pay for the services provided. Our Buyers’ Agent took away all the guesswork, did all the investigation and due diligence and presented us with everything we needed to know in order to make a well informed decision. Suffice it to say, without having experts on our side, we feel we would have faced many unexpected issues in the process that would have led to a lesser outcome for us.

As first home buyers, we were inexperienced in negotiating with real estate agents, and felt unable to compete in such a competitive first home buyers market. We were also too busy to go to many inspections, particularly on weekends when most opens are scheduled. Enlisting buying agents to assist us was a great decision. …

Our agents made the process so smooth, and took all the stress out of buying a home. Their advice and service surpassed our expectations, from the very first meeting to after we had moved into our home.

Without their help it is unlikely that we would have even inspected the apartment we bought, and not only does it meet all our needs but the purchase price was at the lower end of our budget. We would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to buy property.

OH Property Group has enabled us to save money by securing the best property we can afford in the least amount of time.

After a failed property transaction, we felt we needed help from a buyer’s agent. Having experience in buying our first home, we thought we were veterans in property arena. The unsuccessful transactions we had in the past exemplified the harsh reality that we did not know as much as we thought. And so, we began educating ourselves through property magazines, books, and short courses to make certain we would not repeat the same mistakes. However, we were overwhelmed by the sheer volume and conflicting information available. As a result, we decided to hire a buyer’s agent. …

OH Property Group was proactive, efficient, and always available during each step of the buying process. Every week OH Property Group worked incessantly with us to narrow down and refine our search criteria. We found them to be valuable mentors through the entire process and we felt comfortable sounding out our ideas and concerns around properties we had seen. During our search we never felt rushed in making any irrational decisions and were able to digest all information in our own time.

Oliver and Henny complement each other to form a winning team. Oliver is a very astute negotiator, his commercial reasoning is sound, and he was able to coach us on the negotiation tactics we used in submitting our offers. Henny has a very high fidelity to detail and can pick up things that other people would cast aside as irrelevant. These small things discarded by others can make a big difference. Both of them are able to see around corners and paint a simple road to securing the best property in the least amount of time.
