Brian's testimonials

64 Holborow Street, Croydon

I chose the team at Rich and Oliva to sell my home based on their knowledge and experience in the local area. Matthew, Brian, Marco & Billy were great to deal with keeping me regularly informed throughout the sale process. On the auction day there was a huge crowd and they had the whole team there to help with the final result being above my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew and his team to anyone looking to sell locally!

Marco, Brian and the team were extremely friendly and very professional. Not once did we feel pressured into selling. Marketing and selling skills were amazing. Very impressed. Marco provided us with realistic prices and from that we got a great result at the auction. Thanks so much to the amazing team at Rich & Oliva , great job done. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting to sell. Again thank you for your hard work and most of all the caring factor.

We wanted to pass on a big thank you to Brian and all the team at Rich & Oliva who helped us achieve a huge result for our Mother’s townhouse in Croydon Park. Brian gave us a realistic valuation, set out a fantastic marketing campaign, kept us informed daily of the progress and come auction day we had massive response with a great result, well above what we were hoping for. Brian and the team were extremely helpful, and never pushy. I highly recommend them.

We're very pleased that we selected Marco, Brian and the team at Rich & Oliva to sell my Ashbury property.

We felt Marco's knowledge and database of buyers paid dividends in selling the property.

Along with Brian's hard work and persistence and the ability to speak Mandarin extremely well, made the process much easier for us.

We found the team to be hard-working, honest, always looking after our best interest, making sure the property presents its best and ensuring the marketing is first class. They kept us informed every step of the way and made the final selling process very easy.

I would definitely recommend Brian and Marco should you be wishing to sell locally.

We had previously listed the property with another agent with no luck so we employed Marco and Brian and we immediately felt that the marketing was an improvement along with their enthusiasm and effort in trying to have the property sold for a price that we thought was acceptable. Their persistence and dedication they continually showed our property until we achieved the price that were satisfied with. The communication and marketing with the team at Rich & Oliva we can recommend this team.

A really pleasant experience as a seller. Both Brian and Marco have been wonderful to work with, great advise all throughout the process and very attentive and adaptive to our needs.

For many years I have read positive reports from clients of Rich and Oliva. I now know why those reports were written.

Mr Marco Errichiello (Principal) and Mr Brian McLaughlin were excellent in all aspects of the sale of my property. From our initial meeting on site, to an outstanding auction result last Saturday, they displayed competence and experience. Marco and Brian always gave calm, measured and accurate advice. They had access to an intuitive photographer who used different camera angles to the norm that helped the marketing, as well as a window cleaner and removalist, all of whom arrived on time.

Mr Paul Crawford, the auctioneer engaged by Rich and Oliva, was outstanding in all his interactions with the eight registered bidders and achieved a stunning sale result that was $130,000 above the reserve.

I certainly would recommend Rich and Oliva to any potential vendors who may be considering selling their property. Read More

My husband and I sold our unit through Marco Errichiello, Brian McLaughlin and Riccardo Errichiello from the Rich & Oliva team. We were extremely impressed how the entire team worked together on auction day to achieve the highest possible price. They kept us well informed and guided us throughout the whole campaign. The team are experienced, professional, and realistic in terms of the market. A special thank you to Riccardo Errichiello, for renting out our unit prior to the sale and being present on auction day. We appreciate all your efforts, and we recommend the Rich & Oliva team to anyone in the area looking to buy, rent or sell.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Marco to sell our home, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the initial consultation to the closing of the sale, Marco's expertise, professionalism, and dedication were evident every step of the way. Marco not only provided valuable insights on the market and how to best present our home, but also went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and informed throughout the process. Their marketing strategies were top-notch, attracting numerous potential buyers and ultimately leading to a successful sale. We truly appreciated Marco and the team at Rich and Oliva for excellent communication skills, always keeping us in the loop and promptly answering any questions we had. Their friendly and approachable demeanour made what can be a stressful time much more manageable.

Thanks to Marco, Brian and Brooke, we sold our home quickly and at a great price. We highly recommend Rich and Oliva to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their commitment to their clients and deep knowledge of the real estate market make them an outstanding choice. Read More
