GoogleDarren O'Connor was highly recommended to me when I was seeking advice and support around shared ownership/ help to buy with some additional obstacles, to say the least. Within the first 2 minutes of our first phone call, I knew I had found the perfect person for our needs. Darren was friendly, kind, supportive and above all, honest!! Darren's goal was not to make money, but to find us the right lender. Darren has an immense amount of knowledge, not only around mortgages but also around debt advice. All I can say, is I wish I had found him sooner!! Thank you again Darren.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleYou will not go wrong with James and Darren! I used to work under James and know how much passion he had managing branches he used to run. It was inevitable that he would set up his own branch and i know that he will put his heart and soul in to every customer that walks through the door. Darren is a quality mortgage advisor so as a team , these guys will be unbeatable!!
Start up companies always seem to start well but I'm confident that the team at Oatley and O'Connor will maintain a very high standard throughout there growth. I wish you guys a great success. James once told me "you make your own luck" and his attitude to life and sales will guarantee customer satisfaction.
No better place to list your home!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleSelling through James at Oatley & O'Connor was such a positive experience, at what was a very stressful time! I had been with a larger Estate Agent previously where the viewings were sparse and the communication very lacking at times. I swapped to Oatley & O'Connor and the selling experience was fantastic from the start. Lots of viewings, a quick sale, full asking price and just the most personal and attentive communication I could ask for.
If you are thinking of using this Estate Agent, don't hesitate - they are simply excellent.

GoogleOatley and O’Connor have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. They have been available whenever we needed them and nothing has been too much trouble. They provided a real personalised service and have helped with any issues we have encountered, responding to any of our queries in a timely manner. I have never worked with a company who have been so responsive, helpful and friendly. They really have gone above and beyond throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

GoogleVery good communications at all times; James offers friendly, direct service - and is very refreshing to deal with. Way above the average agent's approach. It's noticeable that he is putting the energy behind his small compact team and getting results - a skilled problem-solver. At first I was a bit worried that there's no high street shop window, but digital presence really has taken over and, happily, this means he can offer a very reasonable price for the work. Great value.

GoogleHaving initially explored a number of ways of selling our property, from the initial meeting and the viewing process, right through to our exchange and completion we have felt very well supported by the Oakley and O’Connor team.
We found their honest and friendly approach made the whole experience feel as though we were in safe hands from start to finish. We loved the Whatsapp group that allowed us to ask those niggling and sometimes silly questions and get very quick answers to any query we had.
Let’s face it, moving is a very challenging time and its not something we’ve done that often, so having a team you can rely on to support you through every step was simply brilliant, even when things didn’t go to plan, we found there was always a way forward and a reassurance that things will get resolved, which they did.
We can’t thank the gang enough with helping us with our moving process and all the support, advice and guidance they have supplied, giving us the view they are the right choice for selling our home of nearly 30 years.
