Editorial context

Working with a provider in Carrum Downs – what matters

When choosing a real estate agent in Carrum Downs, first establish whether the priority is a sale, leasing a property or ongoing rental management. OBrien Real Estate lists all three areas. Prospective clients should therefore identify who would handle their instructions and clarify the precise scope of services for their property.

For a proposed sale, ask the agent to explain the market appraisal: which comparable properties support it, how recent the evidence is and how the suggested price range was derived. The published listings show activity across several locations. This does not replace checking the individual agent’s experience with the immediate neighbourhood and the relevant property type. Marketing steps, viewing arrangements, feedback after buyer enquiries and all associated costs should also be discussed clearly before appointment.

For landlords, the website’s references to inspections, maintenance and rent reviews are particularly relevant. Useful questions concern procedures, reporting intervals, responsibility for repairs and approval of expenditure. It is also worth establishing which services are included in ongoing management and which attract separate charges.

The Google rating can provide additional context. However, the supplied selection contains only positive sales experiences and offers limited insight into rental management. Relevant references, a clear service proposal and agreed communication arrangements provide a more useful basis for assessing suitability for a particular instruction. These points are general guidance rather than individual legal advice.

I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding service I received from Michelle and her team. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and genuinely caring. Every member of the team was friendly, capable and kept me informed throughout the entire process,making what can be a stressful experience feel easy and well managed.

Michelle has been absolutely amazing from start to finish! Her communication is incredible she is honest, genuine, easy to talk to and always there when you need her. Her knowledge of the local property market is outstanding and I have genuinely trusted her advice every step of the way. Michelle worked so hard to get the best outcome for the sale of my home and her negotiation skills and professionalism are second to none. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process and has even continued to help and guide me with finding my next home which says so much about the type of person and agent she is. Michelle genuinely cares about her clients and you never feel like you’re just another sale. I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Absolute legend and hands down the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with! 🏡🙌

Selling made easy, when you have the right agent! From the first conversation with Michelle, we felt at ease and knew Michelle was the agent for us. The whole team at OBriens Carrum Downs have been nothing but helpful and willing to explain the processes as they came up. Michelle always kept us updated along the way, and always made sure we understood what was happening. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Michelle again should the need arise. Thank you Michelle and thank you to your team. Amanda & Craig

We first met Michelle as buyers, during peak COVID. At a time when other agents were capitalising on buyer panic, her no-nonsense approach really stood out to us, and we decided then that if we ever sold, it would be through her. That's exactly what happened, and the sale went about as smoothly and successfully as we could have hoped for. Michelle says what she does and does what she says, and that's rare to find. Tamara was fantastic to deal with too. We did major renovations before selling, which meant a lot of contractors to coordinate, and she handled it all without missing a beat. She also handled call after call with genuine warmth, and I could hear the smile in her voice even though I must have been one of dozens she'd spoken to that day. Her turnaround on everything was lightning fast. Emma and Emily rounded out a team that made the whole process feel personal from start to f

Services in this field explained

Property valuation

A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.

What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.

Selling property

When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.

Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).

Letting

When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.

Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
