Property buyers and sellers are able to submit verified reviews of agents and agencies they’ve worked with and rate them so that other vendors in the market can make better-informed decisions when choosing the right agent for them. Each and every review is independently verified ensuring it is written by a real vendor and tied to a genuine sale.

Selling your property
Oliver Road has been developed from the ground up for the sole purpose of marketing and negotiating the sale of unique, high-value homes. We apply care and expertise at every step of the process to ensure the very best outcome is achieved in the sale of your property.
Discovery
A common complaint
of estate agents is lack of
product knowledge.
We conduct a comprehensive investigation into each new listing to ensure that our understanding of the home and its attributes matches or exceeds that of the seller, and to identify and address any issues that might impact a sale before any buyers are introduced to the property.
PREPARATION
Each home is given the
makeover it needs to
attract and inspire buyers.
Focusing on delivering a high cost-to-benefit ratio, we offer advice on addressing maintenance issues and making minor improvements to your property ahead of its campaign. Where appropriate, we’ll also recommend partial or full staging with high-end furniture, furnishings, and artwork. Having established relationships with leading staging providers and New Zealand’s most admired luxury linen, furniture, and homewares suppliers - our transformative staging is second-to-none.
Photography
Our select media partners
capture unparalleled content
to inspire and motivate.
We firmly believe that the cornerstone of any successful campaign lies in outstanding, captivating visual content. This principle has steered us through the years, enabling us to refine our distinctive style by partnering exclusively with the industry's top-tier producers. Each shoot - capturing the beauty of sunrises, sunsets, and breathtaking aerial views - is followed by a meticulous selection of the finest shots, which are then enhanced and refined through further editing.
CAMPAIGN PREParation
Care and expertise
are applied in producing
a wide range of content.
Starting with a review of all the still and video content, a curated selection of photography along with cinematic video is produced then brought together with information captured in the discovery process to create a wide range of material for delivery across web, social media, print publications, organic media, signage and brochures..
Digital Marketing
We deliver a world-class
targeted digital campaign.
Properties represented by Oliver Road are exposed to a national & international database of 4,000+ active and passive buyers and showcased on 100+ real estate websites across the globe. A custom-designed, highly advanced targeting and retargeting campaign is also delivered across various social & digital media outlets.
