We unhesitatingly recommend Trevor Bowen and OBrien Real Estate because as we all know selling a house is incredibly stressful, but Trevor honestly made it as smooth a process as possible. Our house sold before auction and we are THRILLED with the result! Trevor and his assistant, Michelle Panning put in so much hard work and long hours to ensure things ran like clockwork during our open house times and together are a strong team working for you 100% to ensure you get the best possible sales outcome. This is the first time we've sold a house and I feel like I've had the best experience possible. I was dreading this process because of the horror stories is heard but honestly, it's been amazingly straightforward! Yes, it is a stressful process - when you're dealing with your financial future that is a given BUT I really can't think of anything additional OBrien Real Estate could have done to make our sale easier or given us a stronger financial result. Not only have we received great service, but Trevor and Michelle are both really great people who have been a pleasure to deal with and we've had a few giggles during the process which is great because it takes some of the pressure off and you know that honest and relatable persona will be presented to interested buyers too. Trevor is very up-front, honest and relatable and the process OBrien use is very transparent with all costs outlined clearly. By choosing exactly what you want to include within the sales process means you can plan your finances without worrying that things might change drastically. Most importantly to us, Trev made no crazy financial promises but was realistic at all times, ensuring we we kept aware of exactly how the campaign was going and what our expectations should be. I have NO hesitation in recommending Trevor Bowen, Michelle Panning and, of course, OBrien Real Estate to sell your home.

Trevor Bowen was responsible for the sale of our property at 25 Wedd St, Cheltenham. From the very beginning his professionalism and knowledge of the entire sale process has been excellent. His initial meeting with us gave us the confidence that he would be able to market our property and obtain the best result for us. Throughout the sale process he clearly explained the process and went above and beyond what was required of him. He was always professional and clearly explained every detail throughout the process. He gave detailed reports after all "Open for Display" events and kept us informed throughout. Friends and family were amazed at the excellent service he gave. His assistant Michelle was thoroughly professional, caring and very supportive. The staff at O'Briens Real Estate were all excellent. We would have no trouble in recommending Trevor to be responsible for the sale of any property. Ken & Jan Young

We were very happy with the service provided by Trevor, Byron and the O'Brians team. Throughout the process they were informative, respectful and always friendly! We'd certainly be happy to recommend Trevor and the team to anyone considering selling their house.

We found Trevor very easy to deal with and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. "No question too small". He kept us updated after every open for inspection which was really great. If he felt something needed doing to the house to improve it we took this on board and as a result we feel he helped us to get top dollar. I would highly recommend him.

Trevor was recommended to me by a close friend who had purchased from him. From our first meeting I felt comfortable with his presentation and advise on how to move forward with our sale. Trevor was at all times patient, professional and understanding of the emotional time we were going through. I trusted that he would present a comprehensive campaign leading up to the Auction. Trevor communicated regularly keeping us up to date with feedback and/or request from prospective buyers. I would thoroughly recommend Trevor and his team, listen and take his advice and you will have a great outcome, as we did. Well done and Thank you Trevor.

We sold our house and we used Trevor Bowen from OBrien's Real Estate. He was recommended to us by friends who said that he was very knowledgeable about the area and the Golden Triangle in particular. He definitely proved this. We had a fantastic turn out of people to our auction and we had a great number of bidders. Trevor was able to get us the price we wanted and organised everything for us from the small amount of maintenance we needed to the staging of the property for the weeks leading up to the sale. All aspects or our sale were taken care of by Trevor in an efficient and friendly manner. He kept us informed and up to date on everything to do with the sale. We knew what his services would cost us up front and there were no shocks or extras at the end. I would definitely recommend Trevor to sell your house. I would use him again if we decide to sell again.

From the initial phone call to the consultation at my home, Trevor surpassed all my expectations with his knowledge of property values in my area. Trevor’s professional advice regarding the promotion of my property was invaluable. Trevor’s recommendations for improvements prior to the marketing campaign added to the overall appeal of my home to potential bidders. The crucial advice on how to best present the property was something that I had not considered ie: having the property professionally styled. The follow up hands on approach throughout the campaign process ensured that I was informed of the interest in the property leading up to the day of the auction. The vendor’s meetings prior to auction were insightful and encouraging on how we were tracking. Byron the auctioneer conducted the auction in professional manner giving all parties equal opportunity to be included in the bidding process. I definitely chose the right real estate agent as the result was phenomenal and I attribute this to Trevor’s earnest work in the sale of my home. Thank you Trevor!

Having sold a property previously with another agent, it is very clear to see the difference between a good agent and an exceptional one, even with great results on both occasions. At the initial consultation, Trevor stood out among the rest for his genuinely friendly persona, his knowledge of the local area, confidence and dedication to selling our property to the best of his ability. Throughout the whole process, Trevor's communication, patience, advice and support were excellent, making the whole experience stress-free and even exciting! On auction day, Trevor and our auctioneer Byron Kerr and the rest of the O'Brien team did an amazing job, supporting us with our decisions and above all, providing a result beyond our expectations.

A great experience with Trevor and team, super advice, hard working, an experienced viewpoint with a fresh brand and style , solid knowledge base, up to date market trends and forecasts. Good productive and transparent meetings with both Trevor and Byron the auctioneer who was outstanding in the lead up and on the auction day, a real team effort producing a very satisfying result. I highly recommend Trevor, great job!

Trevor tried his best to market the property in the manner that had been used many times by him on prior occasions. However, I still doubt whether styling the property achieved a higher price. I agreed to undertake the advertising suggested by him and did not cut costs in this regard. Because the property did not attain the price that I had hoped (which would have been similar to properties in this area) I felt our goal was not obtained and this was reflected by placing a "Not Disclosed" figure in the advertised auction results.

We just recently bought our home from Trevor is the "golden triangle" in Cheltenham. His extensive local knowledge and commitment to his work certainly had a big impact on us as buyers. He has also gone above and beyond after the sale, ensuring that our transition is smooth and welcoming. Trevor is himself a local to the area and as we are from a different part of Melbourne it has been especially comforting to know that we have a great neighbour! He's an all round genuinely nice guy. I would highly recommend him and his professional team to anyone looking to sell their home who values passion, commitment and warmth from their agent. Thanks again Trevor! Mel

Trevor sold my parent's home of 42 years and was very understanding of the emotions that all of that entailed. He was very caring and understanding and achieved a fantastic result very quickly, way before auction ,which was much easier for all involved.
