Dean Pask
Managing Director (Pask)
"When we first decided to enter the Melbourne market some twelve years ago we wanted to form a close relationship with a project marketer who had the track record and necessary skills to market our estates.
During this time the Oliver Hume team have consistently proven themselves to be market leaders whose enthusiasm, professionalism, hands on approach and innovative sales and marketing solutions have significantly contributed to us exceeding our sales targets and achieving a premium price for our projects. This is one relationship that we definitely hope to continue for many years to come."

It's a pleasure working with Michael, Gerrard, Bill and the dedicated team at Oliver Hume."
Greg Perlman
Managing Director (MPS Architects)
We have had a great business relationship with Oliver Hume dating back what seems an eternity but actually is only 2003. Oliver Hume inherited us with one of their Queensland customers and then adopted us to do similar work with their Melbourne customers using our expertise in integrated housing and masterplanning.
We enjoyed their hospitable nature as a company and their management and staff and have forged strong business and personal links and have nurtured a mutual respect for our respective skills which we have rarely found in a real estate marketing company. Their attention to detail and strategic positioning of each project is enlightening.
In short they are successful, competent, thoughtful, collaborative, astute, generous and also a lot of fun to work with.
I like working with this company and in particular Michael Duster, Gerrard Ellis and Paul Ciprian with whom I have had the longest and most fulfilling explorations into the Melbourne real estate market. I know most of the staff of Oliver Hume on a first name basis and so does most of my core staff which is another testament to our close business relationship and inter-reliance.
As a strategic position I decided long ago that we did not need to deal with any other real estate company in Melbourne and that has proven to be the best decision we made in our expansion into Victoria.

Stephen Haines Chief Executive
The Portland House Group of Companies
The level of enthusiasm for our project was there from our first meeting with Oliver Hume. The competition didn't stand a chance. They embraced our project from the outset and their commitment and dedication to The Waterways has gone beyond what I would have expected. Oliver Hume bring not only a genuine enthusiasm to our sales activity, but also a professionalism and understanding of the land sales market that is second to none.
I sense they get real pleasure out of what they do and that will always differentiate them in their field.
