We cannot recommend Ben, Ellie, and the Strud Property team highly enough! From start to finish, they made selling our home completely seamless and delivered an outstanding result that exceeded all our expectations. ​They consistently go above and beyond—even stepping in to feed our dog when we had to go out of town urgently! Beyond selling our home, they guided us through inspecting properties to find our next place. ​If we ever sell again, they will be our first and only call!

Ben is so easy to work with. He was on top of the changing market we are currently experiencing. He had a plan from day one and stuck with it. He is so positive he managed to keep us encouraged and trusting in his process.

Ben is one of the most professional, kind and considerate people I’ve ever dealt with. He is an absolute credit to his profession and deserves every accolade and award that comes his way. I hope that we get to work with Ben again in the future - we are so grateful to him!

Ellie from Ben's team was an absolute gem to work with. From the first moments, it has been the easiest process in buying our first home!! So friendly and compassionate. Thank you team!

We had a fantastic experience selling our home with Ben and Elli. From start to finish they were professional, knowledgeable and always kept us in the loop. Ben’s positive energy is contagious – I’m not sure we ever saw him without a smile! He definitely kept the process light with plenty of laughs along the way. Ben and Elli made what could have been a stressful time feel easy and well managed. Their communication, honesty and hard work really stood out, and we’re so grateful for the result.

Ben sold my property off the market, he did a great job and got a price above what I was expecting. Ben was professional and helpful throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Ben for anyone thinking of selling.

Selling and buying property can be such an emotional rollercoaster — but with Ben O’Brien, we genuinely felt like we had the dream team in our corner from day one. Ben brought the passion, the humour and next-level communication. He was always present, always contactable, and somehow managed to answer every single question we threw at him — even the “probably should have Googled that first” ones — with patience and zero judgement. His knowledge of our area and the buyer market was exceptional, backed by thorough research and insight that gave us complete confidence in every decision. As a fresh face in what’s traditionally a tightly held real estate pocket, he absolutely stands out — energetic, driven and completely invested. And when it comes to commission? You truly get what you pay for. Ben was at every open home and every showing — no handballs, no disappearing acts — just consistent, hands-on dedication. Elliarna is the perfect complement to Ben’s energy. Grounded, empathetic and incredibly engaging, she brings both heart and sharp strategy — truly the beauty and the brains. She was realistic, honest and so easy to talk to, which made navigating big decisions feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her commitment never wavered, and the teamwork between her and Ben was seamless. Their communication was consistent, aligned and professional at every stage — we always knew exactly where things stood. Together, they are a powerhouse. Because of Ben and Elliarna, we achieved something we genuinely never thought possible — securing our dream acreage property. We are beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone buying or selling!

Ben was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was honest, approachable, and always available to answer our questions. As buyers, we felt genuinely supported and well-guided throughout the process. Thanks to his dedication, we found the right home without any hassle. Would definitely recommend!

If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would! Ben and Elliarna, thank you for going above and beyond, not only in selling our property, but also in assisting us in the purchase of our next home. Your energy, dedication, communication and constant support made this entire experience so much easier which we are forever grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family without a second thought! Thank you for everything.

Ben was amazing we could not have asked for a more genuine, honest and knowledgeable agent. Ben went over and above with keeping us up to date and helping us when needed. If we had to do it again we would not hesitate for one minute in asking Ben. We wish all the very best for him in the future. Thanks again to Ben your the best.

Ben is absolutely amazing to deal with. Words do not describe his service and attendance. Above and beyond is an understatement

I had a tight timeline to sell my property. Ben was very confident they could complete the sale on time and they did. They were easy to communicate with and trustworthy to take on the responsibility. Great work, Ben. Thanks heaps.
