Fantastic experience: My parents were tenants of a property managed by O'Brien RE Hastings. It was there that they were fortunate to meet Renee. During their tenure, and after their lease, Renee has been outstanding. Her care, professionalism, empathy and knowledge made their dealings a pleasure, and I cannot speak highly enough of Renee. Not enough superlatives, and sadly I cant give any more than 5 stars. Renee, thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words Paul, We most certainly are extremely lucky to have Renee as an integral part of our team.
Please reach out, to our office for any of your future real estate needs.
Kind regards
Katie Jones
Director OBrien real estate Hastings
Fantastic experience: Katie has gone above and beyond for us in getting our dream home. She was so warm and friendly during the inspection and anticipated every question we might have. She advocated for us during negotiations to make sure the outcome was best for all and kept in regular contact between first interaction and settlement. I would recommend Katie to anybody looking to buy, sell or just seeking general real estate advice.

Fantastic experience: Michael from O'Briens Hastings is that rarest of creatures; a property manager that actually cares. He almost always answers the phone when you call, if he tells you he'll call you back, he actually does, and if you have problem as a tenant, he will do his best to fix the issue. Michael is heads and shoulders above every other property manager I have dealt with as a tenant, and I cannot recommend him and the team at O'Briens Hastings highly enough!

We are very lucky to have Renee :)
Negative experience: Disappointing experience. Agent was unprofessional, dishonest and unconcerned about privacy. Wouldn't recommend. Email was sent to agent 10/11/23 with all concerns - no response, no phone call, only communication was their response to google review!!!
Dear Courtney,
We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention as these concerns were never mentioned previously.
I am genuinely shocked and sorry to hear that you found your interaction with us disappointing and that you felt we were unprofessional, dishonest, and unconcerned about your privacy.
We take feedback of this nature seriously, and I would like to investigate this matter further with you, if possible, to understand the specifics of your experience.
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in all our dealings and value your input.
Once again, thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I hope we can work towards a resolution.
Fantastic experience: Katie excels once again!! Katie’s knowledge of the local property market and its history is unbelievable. She has an excellent recall on the properties that have sold in the area to help us understand what the market price should be. She constantly kept us informed of what was going on through the entire sale process and was super responsive to our requests. I have sold 2 properties with Katie, and she has achieved sale results beyond my expectations both times. Katie, you are one in a million! Thank you!
Always a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Michael has been sensational as my property manager. We have navigated through some tricky situations, and he has gone above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Michael’s experience and attention to detail is second to none. We highly recommend Michael & Renee and the whole Obrien team at Hastings, they continue to impress, every single time.
Thank you for the kind words, we are very lucky to have such a dedicated property management team
Fantastic experience: Stand out agent! Katie Jones and Natalie Caterson recently sold our family home of 22 years. We looked at several local agents and Katie was by far the standout agent. From her superior market knowledge to her attention to every little detail really made all the difference. Her negotiating skills were outstanding, and we were thrilled with the sale result she achieved for us. We strongly recommend Katie and the Obrien Hastings team, to anyone looking to sell their home. We insisted on engaging the very best and that is absolutely what we got with Katie Jones. Katie, we honestly can’t thank you enough!
Thank you very much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: The girls at obrien went above and beyond ! Even came and kept my fur babies company in a walk while potential buyers came to inspect whilst at work, highly recommend !!

Fantastic experience: From the beginning of enquiring about a perspective investment property in Hastings, our experience with Katie, Natalie and Team was effortless! Having lived in our home for over 30 years, (owner builder) we had never purchased a house through a real estate agent. This could have been a daunting task, but Katie guided us through with confidence and ease - We had full trust in Katie, Natalie and Team and they did not disappoint! Thanks Ladies!

Thank you very much John for the kind words
Negative experience: As a owner of a House rented through O’ Brien R/E I do not recommend them One of their sales reps Katie Jones has recently taken on the Hastings Franchise, Well if I had only known! My rent is now a week late! As Katie Jones said it is due to changing their payment system ! The tenant pays directly into their account by internet Banking as I have always been told in the past, so far they have ignored my email and have said repeatedly on the phone that the money would be in my account within 3 days, It is now a week late ! I DO NOT RECOMMEND O’BRIEN REAL ESTATE HASTINGS, VICTORIA,. AUSTRALIA
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service! Shaniah was incredibly helpful, honest and a pleasure to deal with. She took the time to talk with us, continually kind, open and professional. Renee was also exceptional to deal with; you can tell they care about their clients.
Hi Hannah, thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: We work very closely with OBrien Real Estate as their preferred appliance repairer. The relationship works brilliantly both ways. Thank you for your ongoing business and the professional way you and your team operate. Gloria. (Director Arrive On Time Appliance Repairs.)
Hi Gloria, thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Negative experience: Zero
Fantastic experience: Get a very professional standard of service from Shaniah regarding normal income and maintenance on our rental unit. Currently a new lease has been signed and the whole process from previous good tenants giving notice, to being provided with a comparative market analysis, and unit being rented has been very prompt. Regular feedback as to status given. Very pleased.
Hi Rich, we are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: We have been looking for houses for the past month and we came across O'Brien and Shaniah was our main contact. Shaniah is not only professional but dedicated as we were new to the rental sphere in Australia. Shania has been updating us about the progress of our file where it was a positive or 'negative' response and told us to keep on applying. She built our strength to believe that we will soon get the right property for us, and we did!! We were selected for a property in Hastings and with the help of Shaniah, we managed to visit and secure the place. Thank you Shaniah for the ongoing advice, the motivating drive, and always encouraging your client. We are grateful and we really appreciate your help. Thank you O'Brien Hastings!!! Amar & Davina
Fantastic experience: We purchased our first home through Obrien real estate Hastings and we had a pleasant experience. Obrien were always there to answer any questions and Katie even went out to our home to ensure all the switches in the power box were in an off position for when our power was connected. I am only disappointed about one thing, and that is the card and the gift from Katie (Obrien) was only addressed to my husband. I did not get a mention which was strange and made me feel left out.
Fantastic experience: Renee is absolutely beyond brilliant. She has been so understanding and supportive of constant changes. Renee gets back to me straight away when I need to contact her and she is very thorough and professional. I definitely recommend Renee as a realtor and can't speak highly enough of her!
Fantastic experience: What a team. They knew what we needed to buy interstate and they didn't disappoint. So friendly...so professional...so on target. We will be selling our next house through them. Well done team.
Fantastic experience: Massive Thank you! To Katie Oliver and Simon Murphy at O’Brien real estate Hastings! Getting the Job done! Such a stressful time with selling and buying unconditionally, Delivering what they promised with constant feedback and communication. Will definitely sell my next house with the team at O’Brien Hastings.
Fantastic experience: We have put in an offer for a property and have been dealing with Simon, he has been such a pleasure to deal with. He is to the point and does not try to bamboozle you, like other real estate's in Hastings have. I.E Roberts and Green. 10/10 will recommend to my friends.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic real estate agency and property management. Prompt, reliable and professionally courteous.
Hi Joshua, thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: We have rented through O'Brien Real Estate in Hastings for about 3 years now. Although I should acknowledge that the rental managers are only a go-between, we have been happy with how we have been treated as tenants. We have had a very large number of repairs and replacements needed and this has all been handled professionally and with a friendly and understanding manner. Thanks to Sue over the years at reception, and also now to Dimity. It's good to deal with people who smile, even over the phone, and who treat you with respect.
Fantastic experience: Dimity is the new property manager here and as I am a landlord myself I know what it takes to manage tenants. She is proactive reliable and treats each property as her own. Definitely consider these guys for a rental listing.
