Ben is honest, strategic, unbelievably patient, and utterly professional. He also understands the Southport – Gold Coast property investment market exceedingly well, he never showed us apartments that weren’t within our parameters and he always listened very carefully to our comments. We recommended Ben and Ray White, I am pleased to provide my highest recommendation of Ben’s services.
After trying with several other agents over a period of time, Ben is the one who provided a successful outcome. Highly recommend Ben O'Brien.
Ben a great guy easy to deal with professional and great sales person. Did a great job at selling my property with ease and no major stress for myself. Would recommend him!
Ben was very helpful with our recent purchase of a property in Southport, living abroad and being our first purchase we had a lot of questions and Ben was only too happy to answer them. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust him in the future.
Over 30 years in investment properties I have formed an opinion of realestate agents which is far from flattering. Ben O Brien is truly an exception to this. Out of the hundreds of agents I have dealt with he is the only one I would have no hesitation going back to. I first started dealing with Ben he introduced us to a block of six units in Surfers Paradise. Before signing a contract I asked for a wealth of information and nothing was too much trouble. We reached a deal and signed a contract at $860k. Hours from settlement through circumstances beyond his control the sale fell through. Now here comes the point of difference. A few months later the banks moved in and auctioned the property through a different agency. Ben called us to make sure we were aware of the auction we purchased it for$770k ($90k less) at auction. Ben was at the auction and while he missed out on the sale he expressed his satisfaction that both the seller and I had finally achieved our goals. When we decided to sell, Ben met us on site a number of times to discuss improvements required to maximise our sales. He respected my wishes not to market the property until I had completed the work required. Even when I had 2 other agents approach me with buyers and had 3 signed contracts from these outside agents (which all fell complete) he respected my wishes. When a fourth contract of $1050K came through from an outside agent I didn’t sign it, I gave Ben a call within 4 days we had 4 contract offers and signed on $1,110K which was reported on papers across the nation as the GoldCoasts record percentage profit since the GFC. Ben had us happily signed up for $90K more than the other agents at purchase time and got us $60K more than was offered in four days at sale time. More than that he didn’t hassle us, he didn’t make stuff up and he always delivered any information requested. Mick & Jenny Brumley
Ben was a pleasure to deal with and kept me informed of every step. This is the second property I have sole through Ben and I highly recommend him. Thanks again Ben.
Ben was a pleasure to deal with. He was prompt with all queries , if he did not know he would find it out and called back promptly . I would deal with Ben in the near further
I would recommend Ben to anyone looking at buying or selling their property. Although young he has a wealth of knowledge and a very professional but empathetic attitude. Nothing was ever a problem. I was delighted with the ease of the sale and very happy with the price achieved. Lynne Parker
