Testimonials

Dear Daniel,

RE: Sale of 107 Redfern Street, Redfern

Thank you for negotiating the successful sale of the above building for me. I was happy with the end result and was completely surprised when you negotiated a 2 week settlement for me.

Initially you were referred to me through business associates and had a very impressive track record of similar commercial sales in the City fringe and South Sydney.

During the marketing period you were diligent in your follow up of all the buyers and passed on accurate feedback of where the market was, and what the buyers were saying and thinking.

You were always honest, straight forward and professional when giving me advice on the sale and I have no hesitation in recommending you to other property owners.

I look forward to working together in the future on other property deals, should the opportunity arise.

Dear Daniel,

RE: Successful sale of 767 - 779 Botany Road, Rosebery

On behalf of McDonald's Australia I want to both congratulate and thank you for acting as our agent in the disposal of the above asset.

It was clear from your initial submission that your track record in selling mixed use I residential sites was impressive, and after dealing with you on this matter I can see why.

Given the history of the site it was a challenging instruction, and your advice, integrity, professionalism and honesty were first class. The contract terms McDonald's needed to achieve (a short settlement and a high price) were very important to us and we appreciate that you closed the deal and reached our goals with a minimum of fuss.

We were extremely happy with the end sale result and we look forward to working with you again.

I would happily recommend you to other owners seeking a quality agent to work on their behalf.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am pleased to provide the following testimonial as to the high credibility that Daniel O'Brien offers to a real estate negotiation process.

I have known Daniel for a number of years now and have regularly engaged him to assist me with real estate sales negotiations. He is an extremely diligent worker and has tremendous instinct when it comes to his job. Daniel recently was commissioned by Coles Group Property Developments to acquire a very important piece of commercial real estate. The process involved negotiating with eleven (11) separate owners over a period of a number of months, and at no stage was he able to reveal who the purchaser was, due to our desire to remain confidential. On at least 10 occasions, the owners of the property attempted to change the terms of the deal, and I am sure an agent of lesser quality to Daniel would have failed to yield the same result. He worked through each issue with a great deal of empathy to both parties, and in the end was able to conclude the negotiation with the optimum result for Coles.

I would have no hesitation in commissioning Daniel to assist Coles with future transactions.

I can be reached either at work on 9919 1414 or on my mobile phone, 0407 261 750 should you wish to speak to me further.

Dear Daniel,

I would like to sincerely thank you for the way you handled the sale of our Apparel Group Head Office at 830 Elizabeth Street, Waterloo.

Your understanding of the sensitivities around handling the transaction for us as an owner occupier was greatly appreciated. The communication I received from you during the negotiations was direct, prompt and honest. The price and terms that you negotiated and achieved had far exceeded our expectations.

This was our first transaction together and you quickly gained my confidence as being professional, responsive, trustworthy and extremely commercial.

Pleasingly but of no surprise, we were able to transact with you again, this time on the buy side. You had correctly identified our future requirements that I had for our next purchase and did an exceptional job of providing us with the confidence to exchange on the asset at 11 Bowden Street Alexandria.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you as an agent. With a strong knowledge of the property market in the city fringe and south city commercial markets and look forward to working together again in the future.

Kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this reference on Daniel O'Brien. My wife and I have ran our own small boutique commercial development and investment company for over 22 years. During that time I have met Dan on several occasions when we ventured out to look at properties in South Sydney. Our main patch is Surry Hills so it was only last year when we actually purchased a site in Alexandria that we had the good fortune to do business with Dan. Whilst I never doubted his reputation of being a performer I was nothing but impressed by his advice, honesty and performance on our project. This particular transaction involved us purchasing a large site, immediately on-selling part of it and then subdividing and selling most of the remaining lot. I must confess the strategy was Dan's and we basically followed his advice.

Dan is a brilliant salesman, but he is also direct, and was able to deliver on every promise he made. If he made a small mistake along the way he was quick to admit it. He has passion, drive and determination and I will definitely use him again. More importantly he loves his job and he has surrounded himself with a dynamic team who are equally as enthusiastic as Dan.

I would be happy to talk to anyone thinking of engaging Dan as their selling agent.
