To Doug,


 


I just wanted to send you an email to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your attentiveness, communication, honesty and advice throughout the entire process with the sale of our property. Selling a house is a stressful occurrence for anyone and you have helped to make it as smooth as possible for us. We feel that you truly go beyond the general duties of a real estate agent with thorough follow ups, reporting and always being ‘on top’ of potential buyers. Also, exhausting all avenues to find that buyer has been obvious to us.Your warm, professional and no-nonsense approach was particularly appreciated. Right from our very first meeting you explained the sale process thoroughly and did not try to obtain our business by giving us an unreal expectation of what our property was worth in the current market. With 7 couples going through at the first open, we signed a contract the next Monday and not to mention an offer which was so close to our asking price this blew us away.


I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone considering selling their home.


Thank you once again Doug.


Warmest regards,


Jo White

From a general public lessee perspective I couldn’t ask for a more suitable cohesion of professionalism & friendliness when being addressed by Melissa and her team. Nothing I required got pushed aside for any reason. When I had something needing attention Melissa Raguse and her team took care of every inquiry, necessary requirement and/or any other correspondence I beckoned was promptly satisfied, via thoroughly adequate means. I can only hope that whomever I endeavor to rent from in the future are as courteous and debonair as I found Melissa to be. So this is A Arnold saying thank you, I wish to convey a compliment of utmost graciousness, I would have given 5-stars but everyone needs even the smallest room for improvement L.O.L. 🙂

Dear Pat O’Driscoll and my property team,


I am writing this to thank you all, for your outstanding management of my 3 properties.


Since you took over in September, I have had every problem dealt with promptly and courteously.


The contrast to my previous managers could not be more extreme.


 


All your staff that I have dealt with have been superbly helpful and co-operative.


And they get the job done! Efficiency and politeness! A rare and wonderful combination.


 


I have decided to self manage flat 3 for 6 months to help my family. ( Newlyweds not planning to remain in Australia.) Not in anyway a reflection on your wonderful management.


I am taking a slight loss in housing them, but family is family.


Again the attitude and diligence of the team, has been outstanding.


 


I especially want to mention thanks to Tayla Greenalsh for helping to extract me from the claws of my previous real estate.


 


Alyssa Barnes for her efficiency in the day to day management.


 


And last, but by no means least, Margie for finding me a tenant right before Christmas, even tho I didn’t need it.


And then being incredibly gracious and helpful, in getting my family settled.


 


All of them have a superb phone manner, but better still they are not just words. They are incredibly capable at getting the job done!


 


I now have every confidence that these properties are not a colossal waste of my time. And if I do decide to sell them, it will definitely be with you.


I no longer feel I am being robbed blind at every opportunity. Nor hampered by colossal incompetence.


 


Your service is outstanding!


And I wanted you to know, I really appreciate it.


Not many Real Estate agents have your integrity and efficiency.


I’m truly impressed and will recommend you to all I know.


 


I am looking forward to meeting some of you in person in early January


 


Most sincerely


Joanne Coombs Scott

We recently listed our investment property with Talitha and highly recommend her as our agent.


Talitha really knows the market and after consultation we listed and sold our property for full asking price within the first week.


I believe her expertise and the marketing of the property along with her follow up with the buyers was the reason we got such a quick result.


Thank you for your hard work and I would have no hesitation recommending and working with you again.

Hi Pat and Neale,


I had the pleasure of dealing with Leanne and Nicole on a recent sale of my Unit at Salt Apartments.  The Unit wasn’t for sale but it was a good result for me as it was siting vacant and I didn’t really want to rent it out.


I made a small profit on the unit which is great for our market more than anything else, but I also wanted to pass on to you how great Leanne and Nicole were to deal with!  It was a very easy transaction with them both involved and the service was excellent!  To be honest it was that easy that I would have to say that it was my best real estate experience ever, and as you know my family has settled a few properties in the area.


I felt it was important to pass this onto you, the agents in Yeppoon have high standards to meet now that you have a presence in the market place in Yeppoon again.


Thanks Leanne and Nicole.


Regards,


Ravi

I was looking for my ideal first home, A Queenslander on The Range with character, potential for renovations and one million other essential features. Doug at Pat O’driscoll Real Estate understood my criteria and immediately pointed me towards a house that ticked all the boxes and was above my expectations, yet under my budget. Doug was really friendly and we formed a great relationship. I never felt pushed or pressured. I was able to be honest when discussing the property and I received the same honesty in return. It’s been an enjoyable experience purchasing my first home with Doug and the team. To any of my friends thinking of buying a house, you need to talk to Pat O’driscoll Real Estate. They can find your ideal home and offer fantastic service.

We would like to compliment Alyssa on the way she’s managed our property and the amazing maturity and professionalism she has on seemingly young shoulders.  We attended the property with her on Friday to do an inspection as we wanted to see for ourselves how it looked.  It didn’t occur to me until we were doing the inspection with Alyssa that it was probably a little intimidating for her having us both there also scrutinising the property.  We were both incredibly impressed with the level of detail she went to when checking for damage and cleanliness and the maturity in which she spoke to us and her knowledge on various queries we had and feel that Alyssa gave the same level of care toward the property as if it were her own.


I just wanted to take the opportunity to pass on a compliment, and hope in turn it’s nice for all of you to receive some positive news for the day.

Should any buyer, seller or investor  be considering the choice of a Real Estate agency in Central Queensland I recommend that the first agency (and it will probably be the last) that they consult is Pat O’Driscoll Real Estate. Pat and his team many years ago managed the rental of my home when I was transferred and also managed it’s sale.

More recently my mother has had to be admitted to a nursing home and subsequently it was necessary to  rent out her home to subsidise the cost of her care. As I live and work in Brisbane this presented many logistical difficulties. I immediately contacted Pat O’Driscoll’s and engaged their services. A prompt appraisal was conducted and very sound advice was given as to some electrical, hot water, security, shades, air conditioning improvements etc plus what I thought was a very fair rental price for prospective tenants. As I was not present in Rockhampton Pat and Wendy Mylrea, the property manager and other staff endured quite a few tradespersons collecting and returning keys for a number of weeks before the home was available. It was also a very difficult time for our family. During all of that time the agency charged not one cent despite the interruptions endured.  I was most impressed. Ultimately wonderful tenants were quickly found and  have made my Mother’s former home theirs and are caring for it exceptionally well.

I don’t generally hold Estate Agents in high regard as past experience is that many are out for a quick dollar Pat O’Driscoll and his team are DEFINITELY THE EXCEPTION. It is not by chance that Pat O’Driscoll started his agency in a tiny little office in William St Rochhampton and now appears to be the leading agent in Central Queensland.

I own seven properties in Rockhampton and over time have used four different agents to manage these properties, with varying success.

Since moving my properties over to Pat O’Driscoll, I am much happier that all my properties are being managed professionally and effectively.  My property manager, always responds promptly to any queries I have and keeps me informed of what’s happening with my properties, however at the same time she uses her initiative and does not hassle me with every small problem.  The quality of tenants in my houses (always a big problem for me) has improved too since Pat O’Driscoll has been in charge.  I would recommend Pat O’Driscoll’s property management team.

We first came into contact with Pat O’Driscoll real estate in 2003. We purchased an investment property through the sales team and were happy enough to allow the property management team the opportunity to look after it on our behalf. We thought that if they weren’t up to scratch we could always change after a year or so. Well, eight years later and we are still happily with them and have absolutely no plans to change the status quo.

Over the years some members of the team have come and gone, however the quality of the service has remained consistent throughout. We used to worry about our investment as we live in Eumundi in the Noosa Hinterland, Sunshine Coast and it is a six hour road trip to ‘Rocky’. Well we went up once in 2004 to inspect in combination with a visit to friends in Yeppoon. Our friends left Yeppoon in 2005 and we have never had a reason to go back since. We have such a level of absolute faith in the Team at PODRE that we are happy to get our monthly reports and occasional phone call. The team is competent and up to date with legislation and more importantly we get feedback where and when required. They don’t bother us with the day to day mundane stuff and are always accommodating when we call with a question or query.

I wanted to congratulate, acknowledge and commend Leza Thompson for her excellent service during the sale of our home at 89 Main Street Park Avenue. The service we received from Leza was exceptional. Leza went over and above what we were expecting and made the whole process very simple and painless. Being based in Canberra, we had concerns being completely detached from the process but Leza’s performance as our advocate was fantastic.


Throughout the initial process the tenants made access difficult, had it not been for Leza’s commitment to us and her tenacity to make it happen, we would not have sold our house.


Thank you so much Leza for all your hard work. We could not have asked for a better Sales consultant to guide us through the process.  Leza’s experience and professionalism served us well. Rose and I believe Leza is an asset to your business and we will highly recommend Leza to anyone considering selling or buying in the Rockhampton region.


Thank you for the bottle of wine to celebrate the sale of our house. Both Rose and I were pleasantly surprised.


Regards Tony & Rose Nicholls

We have been extremely happy with the service provided by Pat O’Driscoll property management staff. Right from the outset when we decided to put our property on the rental market, our requirements as the customer were professionally considered and outworked. This professionalism culminated in a significant amount of interest being shown in the property and it being rented within a week of it being listed.


We have found the follow up service on matters relating to the lease of our property to be very responsive and of a very high standard.

We engaged Pat O’Driscoll Real Estate to handle the sale of our home in Bowen Street, Rockhampton.  Robyn Bentley was the agent who worked with Pat O’Driscoll in marketing the property.


We found Robyn to be very knowledgeable in relation to the way to market the property and gave us a valuable insight into the selling process and how to manage offers that did not meet our expectations.  Nothing was too much trouble for Robyn and at all times we felt confident that she was working to achieve the best possible outcome for us.  Robyn showed great empathy with us as the sellers of the property and great understanding of the irritations and frustrations that the seller can experience in the marketing process.  She was readily available to answer questions and to provide information.  We were very comfortable that Robyn was representing the property very effectively and very honestly to potential purchasers, whilst striving to achieve the best possible outcome for us.


Based on our experience, we would endorse Robyn’s skills in her role as a Real Estate Agent.  We would recommend her for her competence and her ability to empathise with the seller and her ability to make a difficult period in the life of the seller much less difficult.  She achieved an excellent outcome for us and her professionalism was a significant factor in the successful sale of our property.
