Brian McLaughlin

We originally met Brian and Marco a couple of months ago when they knocked on our door offering their services. We were immediately impressed by both of them — warm, genuine and very approachable. Around the same time, we were also looking for a rental, and the team at Rich & Oliva once again delivered outstanding service, securing a property for us quickly and seamlessly.

When it came time to sell our home on Badminton Road, choosing Brian, Marco and the Rich & Oliva team felt like an easy decision. Their knowledge of Croydon is exceptional, and their track record speaks for itself. On auction day we had eight registered bidders, a highly competitive auction, and achieved a result well beyond our expectations.

We were extremely impressed not only with the result, but with the professionalism and dedication of the entire team — as were our neighbours. Brian and Marco are genuine, hardworking and honest, and we couldn’t recommend them or the Rich & Oliva team more highly to anyone considering selling. Read More

My sister (Kathleen) and I were recommended to Marco and his team by some friends, they said he is a wonderful person with his instinct & local knowledge of properties in the area were excellent.

The Auctioneer Clarence White did an unbelievable job in the selling of our mother’s home (thank you so much). Marco kept us updated & across the board with the process of selling the house he explained everything in detail & left no stone unturned to get the best possible result.

We were very appreciative of the teams professionalism and honesty and the way they constantly kept us updated. We cannot thank them enough. Great Job well done!

Thanks

Our experience in selling our house with Marco, Brian and the entire team at Rich & Oliva has been outstanding !

From the initial meeting to auction day the communication, transparency and professionalism got us comfortable in what was a very anxious time for our family. We truly felt like we had the right experts on our side, and the final result is one that we were more than happy with. We HIGHLY recommend Rich & Oliva, look forward to working together with them in the future... Read More

A sincere thank you to Marco, Brooke, Brian and the team at R&O.

We successfully purchased a home through Marco and successfully sold our home with Marco, which he helped in executing a simultaneous settlement time-frame for both. Marco was very efficient in providing trade contacts to get my home ready for sale. The photo shoot, marketing and video shoot were A1 professional, and on time.

Marco's approach is calming, well measured and methodical in everything he does, whilst Brooke was always a breath of fresh air to deal with.

They are a reliable, genuine & honest generational family business, that gets the job done, and we would highly recommend R&O for buying and selling.

Thank you again guys.

Sincerely. Read More

I am writing to thank your agency for the very professional way our sale was managed.

Brian and Marco set the strategy, process and negotiations in close consultation with me and everything went according to plan resulting in a fabulous price. In fact the whole team including the auctioneer were very focused, friendly and courteous. Marketing material, staging design and site visits and post visit reports were all high class.

Thoroughly recommend your team to manage the sales process.

Thank you Brian for your dedication and professionalism! Read More

We recently went with Brian at Rich & Oliva when we sold our house. We initially bought the house from them a few years ago and deliberately chose them when we decided to sell it. Brian and the team were very genuine, comprehensive and reassuring throughout the inspections as well as on the auction day itself. Their marketing approach was top class and showed our house in the best light. We’ve also bought our next house through Brian and the team. Brian had suggested it in one of our meetings about selling, and we ended up buying our next home again with his and the team’s guidance and help. We recommend Brian and the team for both buying and selling your home. They’re with you every step of the way. Thanks Rich & Oliva! Thanks Brian! Read More

On auction day (May 24 2025) our property sold for more than $350,000 above what we considered a realistic reserve. Results like that are not the result of good luck. They are achieved by a dedicated team of real estate professionals working effectively and enthusiastically to produce the best possible result for their clients. From our first meeting with Marco Errichiello and Brian McLaughlin no part of the process could have been done better. The preparation of marketing materials, open houses, weekly feedback reports by phone and email, consistent follow up of potential buyers and auction day itself - all carried out perfectly. We are 100% satisfied clients. We are grateful to Marco, Brian and those members of his team who were involved in our sale. Read More

We chose Marco and Brian as our selling agents as they had a very good understanding of the local market and strong sales in the area. It was an added bonus that Brian speaks Mandarin.

We can highly recommend this team’s dedication and effort not only selling the property but making the transaction as smooth and trouble free as possible. Read More

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
