Last Saturday we purchased our first home through Rich and Oliva. In the lead up to the sale date I was actually interstate for work, so whilst my partner had been to an open home already, the agency was very accommodating in getting me at the last minute to inspect the property. Interest in this particular place was quite high, which sometimes can make the already awkward experience of an auction even more awkward. The whole Rich and Oliva team however were very welcoming, calm, attentive but gave my partner and I the chance to bid in our own time and on our own terms. The auctioneer, Clarence, was also very professional but also cracked a few jokes and made the experience a whole lot less nerve-racking.

It was so nice to have the chance to meet the owners after we were successful and get a feel for how much they loved the property, and how much we loved the property, and it was all very sweet. When it came down to the business side of things, signing contracts, amendments, deposits and such the whole process was quick and easy. There were lots of congrats, pats on the back and handshakes all round. It was nice to get a vibe from the team that they were actually happy that we had found our first home and everyone was very sweet. If photos are important to you, I would recommend not buying an apartment on the windiest day of the year. But it was also nice that a few people stuck around to get a couple of photos of us getting blown away whilst putting on the SOLD sign!
