I could not have asked for a better Real Estate Agent. My house sold for a great price and within 6 days of it being on the market. Janette had a good knowledge of the market, marketed the property well, was punctual, trustworthy and a good communicator. Janette made selling my house an amazingly easy and stress free experience and was keen to offer help whenever needed. I highly recommend Janette for any real estate needs.

Janette Oliver of Regional and Rural Realty was a wonderful help with the sale. She was very helpful and determined to get the best price for us with inspections by appointment only.  Despite the pressure of rising interest rates as reported on the news media,  I don’t believe that affected our selling price significantly or at all.

Regional and Rural Realty made selling our property so easy! They are real people, no hidden agendas, no slimy sales pitch, just open, honest, genuine people. They made us feel comfortable and connected at every stage of the process and I believe worked fairly to bring buyers and sellers together. If you are looking for a realestate team that won\'t waste your time and won\'t leave you feeling sour then look no further!

My partner, myself and our little man are first home buyers who had very little understanding of the full process when buying a house, Janette has gone above and beyond to help us and support us along our journey being available at all times and always responding to calls and messages within perfect time. Janette has helped us keep on top of all parts of the process reminding us of the steps we needed to take to progress through this journey. It has been an absolute pleasure to purchase our first home and could not have done it as well as we have without the continuous support from Janette. From our family to yours we thank you dearly.

Hi Janette, I am very happy to recommend your services.  I was extremely happy with the whole process.  You were attentive, thorough and obliging throughout the sale process.  You worked very consistently on the sale and kept me “in the loop” at all times.

Mrs. H Mason – Wauchope


I would like to thank you for your assistance in selling the above property. From the outset, I found your manner friendly, down to earth and realistic, and I appreciated the honest appraisal and advice you gave me.  You worked extremely hard to bring potential buyers around on inspections, and I was also impressed that you consistently followed up with possible purchasers to see how they were thinking.  You were always patient, honest and very ethical and I feel I was very fortunate to have engaged you to sell my property.   It was also quite an achievement, I feel, for you to have found a buyer for a rural property during an extended drought – and to have obtained a very good price as well. I wish you all the best for the future, and I will be happy to recommend your services to friends and neighbours.

We have found Janette Oliver and the whole team at Regional & Rural Realty,Wauchope, to be thoroughly professional as well as obliging and informative. Janette secured a buyer for our house in Wauchope within 2 months during a period of uncertain market conditions with very few sales taking place in the area. We would be pleased to recommend Janette and the team at Regional & Rural to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in the area.

John and I highly recommend Janette and her team at Regional and Rural Realty. We had the best experience with them during the successful sale of our investment property. The whole process was easy and they took care of everything for us. If you have a property to lease out, this is the team you want to look after your investment. They are very thorough and communication is second to none. Thank you for a smooth sale, we are very pleased with the outcome.

Regional and Rural Realty is a great agency to sell your rural acres. We found Drew to be very easy to deal with and he explained the details of our contract clearly and simply. He kept us up to date with any offers on our property and generally qualified serious buyers before taking them through our house. We would recommend the agency to anyone who is selling acreage. Drew knows his stuff and has a great feel for the market and does not make you feel like you have to drop your price just to get a quick sale. Regional and Rural Realty is definitely the best agency we have experienced in the sale of various properties. Ron & Greta Warner

My husband and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Drew and his team for all their help and support with getting our dream property. Drew was so lovely and professional throughout the whole process and updated us with every step of the way with what was going on/what we had to do next with purchasing our property. If we choose to sell in the future, Drew and his team at Regional and Rural Realty will by far be our first choice. Highly recommended if you want a lovely, professional and efficient real estate agency/agent. Thanks again Drew!

Thank you Drew and Jen for your help during the sale of our property on Pappinbarra Road. We appreciate the way you kept us informed with what was happening with the sales, the friendly way we were able to discuss the way the property could be sold, how the property should be priced and the way you were able to negotiate with prospective purchasers when times became difficult.

We recently purchased our first home through Jen at Regional and Rural Realty. We first met Jen when she showed us through the property, she was professional yet had that ‘small country town’ friendliness that made us feel at ease. We really appreciated Jen’s honesty while looking at features of the property and the fact that she allowed us to walk through and around it at our own pace, and gave us space to have our own conversation without trying to sway our opinion. Throughout the process of buying, Jen was in contact with us the whole time, including over the weekend, as she knew how excited we were to hear the good news. Whether you are home buyers like us or looking to sell your own property, we would highly recommend Jen and the team at Regional and Rural Realty.

To Potential Buyers or Seller, This is a testimonial to Janette Oliver of Regional and Rural Realty and her team. Just recently my wife and I, employed the services of Janette to find us a nice home to eventually retire to. From our first meeting, we knew we had found a one of a kind Real Estate Sales professional.  Someone that actually listened to our needs and wants. Janette put us into our home that ticked the boxes. Our every question was answered promptly, with regular follow-ups. All dealings and communication fulfilled in a very timely manner. We can highly recommend Janette and her team, give her a try.  We know you will enjoy the same buying experience that Cathy and I did. Please feel free to contact us if need be. Yours sincerely, Cathy & Jim Mumford 0455 556 900.

We had our rural acreage west of Kempsey listed for sale with another agent for about 18 months prior to listing the land with Drew and his team. Within about 6 months Drew had secured a buyer and the sale was successfully completed. Throughout the process Drew kept us up to date with proceedings and, more importantly was able to achieve a sale where another agent had failed. We found Regional and Rural Realty to always be helpful and professional.

Mr & Mrs S – Beechwood


Dear Drew, Thank you again for yours and Jens professional service during the buying and selling our our homes.By having Regional and Rural  Realty deal with the sale and purchase I feel it helped cut out the communication of yet another party in the process, if we had of went through different real estates. If it wasn’t for your constant check ins and follow ups during processes with conveyancer and bank I’m sure my husband and I would have surly lost the plot.Given this was our first time buying and selling experience your guidance and “not a problem” attitude truly helped us. Thank you both again for helping us through some very complex situations and steering us in the right direction during the whole process. Regards Roxanne and Gary

Roxanne & Gary – Port Macquarie / Rollands Plains


We thought our property would be hard to sell, particularly as the rural market had been flat. However, within two weeks Drew’s team had generated a large number of enquiries. Throughout the selling process we found Drew to be very approachable and helpful. He was consistently straightforward in his dealings with us and potential buyers. He kept us well informed throughout the selling process, and was at all times exceptionally polite and personable. These skills, along with his professionalism, undoubtedly meant our property sold in a very short space of time and at a a very good price.

We highly recommend Mr. Drew Oliver of Regional and Rural Realty in Port Macquarie. We found him to be effective, honest, and hard  working.  He went beyond the call of duty to assist us with a very difficult sale and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the result of his service.

Drew Oliver was a real pleasure to deal with when buying our acreage near Wauchope. Drew took the time to describe the property, talk about the area, facilities and strong sense of community. Drew was genuinely interested in doing the right thing for the buyer and seller. As buyers, we are very happy with the speedy negotiations and purchase. Drew and the Regional & Rural Realty team were very professional, helpful and easy to deal with. I would like to recommend their realty services to both sellers and buyers in the Port Macquarie and surrounding area. Thank you.

Hi Drew, We  have been extremely pleased with your attentiveness, communication, honesty and advice throughout the entire process of our recent purchase. Buying a house is an emotional and sometimes stressful occurrence for anyone and you have helped to make it as smooth as possible for us. We feel that you truly go beyond the general duties of a real estate agent with thorough follow ups, reporting and always being available whenever needed.

We have inspected more than a dozen properties before we bought this one and we found that Mr. Rick Gayler is so far the best agent we have ever met. He is deligent, dedicated, professional and definitely a fun guy. He is the kind of person that you would like to make friends with but not just do business with.

Hi Drew, I wanted to thank you for your honest straight treatment of us. Like a breath of fresh air. Thanks again for your truthfulness. So much better for good client relationships.


Artist and Author Trypheyna McShane


My husband and myself would like to express our appreciation to Rick for his friendly and professional manner. Having brought our investment property a few hours away, Rick demonstrated his ability to communicate effectively and nothing was too much trouble for him and does much beyond his call of duty. He is patient, understanding, polite and very punctual. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Rick!


Liam and Krystal Sylvester


After visiting a number of properties which initially appeared to meet our requirements, we were fortunate enough to be shown through a property, which, after three inspections we are happy to now call ours. On our first inspection, Drew was honest, open and displayed a great understanding of the property, the region and the market. We felt no pressure at any point, yet Drew maintained contact with us which showed his commitment to the vendor. We are so happy that after three lengthy inspections and extensive discussions, we have settled on the right home for us. During the months of looking, we were taken through a number of properties by a number of agents – some good, some not so good. The difference was that Drew could clearly see that the property we had looked at through him was the best fit for us – despite the fact that there were other ‘similar’ properties he had available. I would not hesitate in recommending Drew as an agent for both selling and buying, as I appreciated his commitment to his vendor just as much as his willingness to dedicate his time and knowledge to us as buyers.


Port MacquarieMr & Mrs. Lee


Rick will be a big force in Port Macquarie real estate. rick sold our house in one week we gave him another person’s name and he sold their house in one week he has a great smile a terrific personality and gets the job done don’t be foolish use him as an agent who is terrific.


Bruce and Sylvia Dawson


As an interstate vendor I was nervous engaging an agent. Rick did a great job, kept me informed and we achieved a good result.


Peter Hutton


Rick did an excellent job of selling this property. What we appreciated the most was that he kept us fully informed of progress and went above and beyond expectations in assisting us with the sale as we no longer lived within the area.
