The aim? To change the landscape of local real estate & turn the traditional model on its head. A simpler, lower cost, but luxe, full-service real estate brand, that is genuinely and unapologetically client focused. An alternative to the expensive, cookie cutter, one size fits all approach of traditional agencies. We're bucking the trend by not having an expensive main street office and are instead passing these savings onto our clients. We can do everything the traditional real estate agencies can do (and more!) but we work smarter. Our clients - the winners! We sincerely hope you love our brand, as much as we do, and look forward to being of assistance. Contact us today to discover the Blackbird & Wren difference.

Professional, friendly, experienced!

I was so happy with my recent experience selling my home through Blackbird and Wren. From the very first contact, when Ben rang within about 5 minutes of my online enquiry, nothing was too much trouble. Ben and Mary were both friendly and approachable, and were happy to help with all of my questions: from the specifics of my property sale, to conveyancing, styling and even painter recommendations! Blackbird and Wren sell a lot of houses in my area, which is why I chose them in the first place. Having dealt with Ben and Mary extensively over the sale period I can see why. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the whole process go quickly and smoothly. Would happily recommend Blackbird and Wren to anyone. Thankyou Ben and Mary for achieving such a great result with my home!

Exceeded expectations

We couldn’t have been happier with the service and the result. Having followed his results ahead of listing we were interested in their approach to our sale. We liked what we heard and even more so the follow through. Ben did what he said he’d do and more. The overall experience was a very positive one and the result speaks for itself. We’d recommend Ben and Mary without hesitation.

Thankyou Ben & Mary for the quick sale of our home

We asked Ben & Mary to value our home a year before we listed it for sale. We were so impressed with them as a team & did not even think of getting any other agents to sell our home. I had followed their sales of houses in the million plus price range for some time. Right from the start Ben was honest, realistic & accurate with his valuation. By the time our house was ready for market, we had a very different housing market with rising interest rates. Again Ben was very honest about the market we were dealing with. Our house listed on media on Tuesday, Ben & Mary had 34 inspections over 2 days on Friday & Saturday. By Saturday night our home was sold above our upper limit. We are so happy with the result & can really look forward to building our next home now.

Ben and Mary Roberts

I found Ben and Mary from Blackbird & Wren very professional and knowledgable in their approach to selling our property in our now changing climate in real estate. Ben was always on hand to answer and give advice on any queries we had, as hadn't bought and sold in quite a long time. Our property sold very quickly so didn't have the experience of inspections by appointment even. Would recommend Ben & Mary to anyone wanting to sell their property

Outstanding Service

Ben's service has been outstanding from our first meeting. Within 5 days of placing the property on the market he had 13 potential buyers come through, 4 serious buyers in a bidding war and an exceptional end result. Without a doubt I would highly recommend Ben to friends and family wanting to sell their property in the Sunbury area.
