Kelly provided comprehensive, guidance, professionalism and support during the process of buying my first home. She helped navigate the process and researched a variety of properties aligning with my criteria. She attended and made bids on my behalf at auctions and provided thorough communications. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone requiring a buyers advocate to support and inform them during the stressful and often confusing process of home ownership.
Thank you Brooke for such a lovely review! So happy we were able to find the one! ox

The team at Ausrealty had an amazing experience with Kelly. She is very dedicated to what she does and has a genuine care for her client making sure that the level of service she provided to them was second to none. From after hours and Sunday inspections to negotiating on the property, she was very friendly and professional and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Kelly for anyone looking for an agent to assist with their next property purchase.
Thanks Dennis! It was such a pleasure working with you and getting the deal across the line!

Just wrapped up a deal with Kelly the buyers. Calm under pressure, sharp negotiation and likeable. If only every transaction was this smooth (and entertaining).
Cortney & Kelly's service is second to none! You don't feel like just a number or a transaction. Taking the time to listen to understand and ensure that the right property and goals are aligned.
I highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your review and sharing your experience! =)

I've dealt with Cortney & Kelly on a number of sales in the Eastern Suburbs & North Shore. I've always found them to be transparent in their negotiations & diligent with their product/market knowledge. I recommend contacting them if you are considering purchasing.
Thanks William for your review. It's lovely to hear your positive experience with the team.

Cortney is the most helpful and dedicated buyers agent I’ve ever come across! She genuinely cares about helping people and makes sure to answer every phone call and always keep me updated. I would highly recommend Okaeri! 10/10!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kelly from Okaori as our buyer’s agent, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Kelly was incredibly professional, responsive, and a true expert in the Sydney property market. From carefully reviewing strata reports and highlighting potential red flags, to advising us on which properties to avoid and tirelessly inspecting multiple properties both on and off market. Kelly went above and beyond at every stage.
Thanks to her strong network and deep knowledge of the industry, she was able to find us our perfect little gem
OFF-MARKET; all within just 4 weeks of starting our search.
Her negotiation skills were outstanding, securing us the best possible deal.
Kelly was always available to answer questions and guide us through every step of the process. We felt supported and confident from start to finish.
Highly recommend The Okaori team to anyone looking for a seamless and successful property buying journey!
Thank you for your review hun and your trust in us to find you your first home! Certainly love hearing how happy you have been after settling in!

I’ve had the pleasure of working on a couple of projects with Kelly and Cortney, and they’ve been nothing short of exceptional. They’re reliable, communicate clearly, and bring a thoughtful, solutions-focused approach to everything they do. It’s always a positive experience collaborating with them.
Thank you for your review David! It's always a pleasure working with you on your projects! We can't wait for the next one!

When upgrading from our unit to a house, Cortney and Kelly at Okaeri Buyers Advocates transformed what could have been an overwhelming process into a remarkably smooth journey. Facing Sydney's competitive market with challenging criteria for land on a modest budget, we worried we'd be searching forever. Yet within just three weeks, they found us the perfect property that ticked all our boxes!
Okaeri's expertise shone throughout the entire process. When selling our unit, Cortney established a competitive selection process for sales agents based on measurable criteria, allowing us to make an informed choice which yielded optimal results that directly translated into our purchasing power for our new home. During our property search, Kelly skillfully filtered options that met our specific requirements for a charming house in a quiet street on a decent plot of land.
The negotiation phase demonstrated Kelly and Cortney's strategic prowess—they knew exactly when to move quickly and when patience was required, successfully securing our dream home in a competitive non-auction scenario while ensuring the vendors' agents maintained fairness.
Beyond the transaction, Cortney and Kelly's network of building inspectors and trades consistently delivered superior outcomes compared to alternatives we considered. Okaeri's wealth of knowledge extended to renovation guidance and helping us see the potential in properties.
What sets Kelly and Cortney apart is their ability to combine industry expertise with genuine care. They transformed a typically stressful process into one where we felt supported and confident throughout. For anyone looking to navigate Sydney's property market with expertise and integrity, we couldn't recommend Okaeri Buyers Advocates more highly.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We’re truly grateful for the trust you placed in us during such a significant journey, from your unit to your new home. It was a privilege to support you throughout the journey, and we’re so glad we could help make the process smoother.
Hearing that our strategy, guidance, and network made a meaningful difference to your experience means the world to us. We're especially touched by your recognition of the care and integrity we aim to bring to every client relationship. Congratulations again on securing your beautiful new home. It was a pleasure to be part of the journey!

I had the absolute best experience working with Kelly as my buyer’s agent. From the very beginning, she was supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect place. It was a hard 5 months of searching but she not only guided me through the entire process but helped me secure my dream apartment—something I wasn’t sure would even be possible in this market!
She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and exciting, and I’m so grateful for her expertise, patience, and dedication. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for their perfect home.
Thank you Maddy for sharing your experience! It means the world to hear that you had such a positive experience. It was an absolute pleasure working alongside you over those five months, and your trust, persistence, and positivity made all the difference. It's very rewarding to see it all come together. Thank you again and for letting us be part of such a special chapter in your life! Can't wait to see the you turn the house into a home!

Cortney was absolutely amazing in helping me buy my first home. As a first home buyer I was really nervous about finding something within my price range. Cort was realistic and held my hand throughout the whole process. She was calm, cool and collected, listened to what I wanted and I really valued her experience and connections. I ended up finding the perfect place for me at a great price which I couldn’t have done without her help. She also saved me so much time by allowing me to go to the really good inspections rather than wasting time on properties out of my brief.
Thank you so much for your kind words Ashleigh! It was truly a pleasure helping you find your first home. Your trust throughout the process made all the difference, and we are thrilled we could make the experience smooth and enjoyable for you.
Max Navius2025.04.22
From the very start of our property search, engaging Okaeri was the best decision we made. Kelly has been incredibly approachable, patient, and always available to guide us through every step of the process. Thanks to her expert advice, we were able to purchase our dream home. Her support and guidance made all the difference. We highly recommend Kelly and the Okaeri team to any potential buyers looking for professional and dedicated service. We truly appreciate everything she’s done for us and are grateful for her expertise throughout the journey
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It means the world to us that you felt supported and guided throughout your journey. Helping you find your dream home was an absolute honour, and we’re so grateful you chose Okaeri to be part of such an important chapter. Kelly and the whole team are thrilled to have been able to make the experience a positive one.

Kelly was such an integral part of my first home buying journey. She offered her full support from the get go with her insider knowledge from both a real estate and buyers agent perspective, she has great communication and negotiation skills, provides complete transparency from the first meeting and knows how to advise and apply auction strategies effectively. Kelly took the stress and confusion out of the first home buying process, going to inspections on my behalf, taking videos, providing strata, water and council rate fees, listed the pros and cons for each property, read detailed strata documents and summarised all of the property jargon into easy to understand language, did a price analysis of the area to compare similar properties to estimate the value of your desired property. No question was too small and I felt guided throughout the whole process. I feel very lucky to have purchased the property I saw as my forever home below my walk away price during what could have been a stressful auction process, she gave me confidence and used her expertise to secure the desired property. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone in the Inner West who is looking for a buyers agent, it takes the stress away from finding the time to attend weekly inspections, helps avoid disappointment/missing out on properties, takes the hassle out of spotting red flags in strata reports or having the knowledge to know the right questions to ask real estate agents or what strategy to use if your desired property goes to auction. Would 100% recommend Kelly!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words Constance! It was an absolute pleasure to support you on your first home buying journey. We are ecstatic we were able to find your forever home and secure it under your walk-away price. We're truly grateful to have been part of this special milestone!

As a Finance Broker I always recommend my clients engage the services of a buyers agent, whether its for a full search service or a negotiation only service. Buyers agents level the playing field for buyers and gives me confidence that my clients won't be taken advantage of by unscrupulous selling agents and derisks them overpaying for their property.
I can safely say that Kelly and Cortney are among the best in the business and have looked after many of my clients with their buying needs. I have always received glowing feedback on the services and have full confidence when referring to them, safe in the knowledge that they always have the very best interest of my clients at heart. If you are looking for your first home, upsizing the family home or growing the investment portfolio, I would highly recommend speaking with the team at Okaeri - it'll be the best decision you make!
Thank you Nick for such a thoughtful review! We are so grateful you have entrusted us in taking care of your clients and value our relationship. Look forward to achieving many more successful outcomes!

Kelly has been very helpful in providing invaluable market insights. Kelly and Courtney have always been such a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Thank you for your glowing review! We hope to work with you again in the future!
Ellen Woffenden2024.12.22
I would highly, highly recommend having a buyers agent when purchasing a home (especially your first) and Kelly in particular!!! We had the most excellent experience. Communication was so easy, and Kelly had absolutely unbeatable attention to detail both in searching for properties that met our criteria and in going over the place we ultimately bought. She caught so many things and was able to get them fixed before we settled and guided us through the whole process and negotiation which otherwise would have been so much more stressful. She got us an awesome deal too. Honestly I have nothing but praise. Also the patience of a saint to deal with anxious and picky first time buyers (like me).
Kelly was absolutely wonderful. She's an elite professional who knows the industry inside and out. Her insight and wisdom was instimental to helping us secure our forever home, and her attention to detail and tenacity saved us thousands in day zero repairs. I would 100% recommend Kelly and Okaeri BA!
I can’t recommend Cortney Bowen or Okaeri Buyers Advocates more highly. With Courtney’s help, I was able secure an off-market property and I’m delighted with my new home.
After 20 months of searching solo for my first Sydney property during a period of low stock and intense buyer competition, I finally decided to work with a Buyers Agent and I am so glad I selected Okaeri Buyers. Within 8 weeks of working with Courtney, I had an offer accepted.
From day one, Courtney went above and beyond. She really understood my brief and was a true professional throughout the process. Her transparent approach, along with her knowledge, relationships and negotiation skills were key in helping me secure my home. Of all the properties I have seen during my search, I geniunely ended up with the best property for my needs at a competitive price. Throughout the process, Courtney was highly responsive, accommodating and personable, while my feedback was always heard and actioned.
The value in working with Okaeri went far beyond saving time. I was shown properties I wouldn’t have otherwise considered, including several off-market, plus Courtney was committed to ensuring I secured a property with future potential and growth. I felt very supported during my property purchase and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Courtney or Okaeri again.
Thank you so much – I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is a delight to hear that we were able to secure your home in a short time and end the search for you! We hope to continue building your wealth through property in the future.
Warm regards,
Team Okaeri

I first met Kelly in May 2024 when I reached out to her to discuss my investment property aspirations. I wasn’t quite ready to purchase but she was more than happy to chat. She kept in touch and 4 months later we settled on a plan and brief. Working with another local buyers agent, Kirsty from Bryson Buyers Agents, they presented to us a handful of properties to consider. Turns out the very first one we inspected was the one we settled on! Meant to be. Kelly and Kirsty did all the heavy lifting for us, kept us updated the entire time, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Kelly is an exceptional Buyers Agent; she’s sharp, approachable and has great communication and negotiation skills. I would trust her to help us buy again in the future. Thank you Kelly for helping us and for managing my anxious self 🤣
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so thankful that a collaborative approach with 1 goal in mind - secure the best investment for you, had a successful outcome in such a short time! We are honoured to be a part of your journey. Let's kick goals again!
