Is Opes Partners any good?

I whole heartedly believe in what Opes provide

The thing about Opes Partners is that they really are your 'partners' and truly want to help everyone work towards the best possible outcome regardless of situation.

As first time investors we, like so many others, were simply astounded by the information, support, team of people and affiliated companies that Opes provide. They put your mind at ease and help guide you through the 10 year plan and process making it exciting and unbelievably easy for what seems a huge step the first time.

Unfortunately for us, we were flying high on equity and the low interest rates (early 2022) when we decided to jump on board but did not make some important decisions when required to reduce our debt levels or spending when the economy ran into some issues (late 2022 to 2023).

Despite the bank declining the rest of our mortgage 12 months after providing the deposit and the fact we were contractually obligated to complete our purchase, Dennis (our property partner) & Andrew ( Managing Partner) were very understanding of our situation and quick to jump to our aid....once again working as a partnership between us, Opes, the developer, brokers, lawyers and accountants to ensure the best possible outcome for all involved.

Although a bitter sweet moment for us at the time, we will forever be indebted to Opes for the way were were treated and helped out of a potentially dire situation.

I whole heartedly believe in what Opes provide and once the market recovers, and with our lessons learned, we will touch base again to re-start our 10 year plan!

No, I don't get kickbacks or work for them, just a very satisfied customer

OPES was recommended to me by a trusted colleague during a discussion we had about property investing. I contacted OPES and have never looked back. OPES provided a seamless, experience based on the latest and legacy economic and property sales data, their in-house economist Ed does deep dives into property statistics in all the regions and much like Tony Alexander has an enormous grasp on what is going on in the market. Andrew, after looking at our situation and financial position and goals provided a tailored package for my wife and I. The whole experience was excellent as OPES only deals with top-quality established developers as well. Our developer was Neilston Homes who again I cannot fault building two beautiful modern townhouses for us to purchase. I have no hesitation, and would in fact encourage people who are looking at property investment to deal with OPES, I really can't speak highly enough of them. Their administration and communication are outstanding and we were kept totally informed and guided through every step from start to finish.

They basically hold your hands to guide you through the process of building your wealth

It was a great experience working with Opes from top to bottom. The knowledge of the team makes investing in property so smooth and stress free. They always promptly answer your questions and concerns. They basically hold your hands to guide you through the process of building your wealth.

For example, Maxine calmly guided us through this process and referred articles and links for us to read to gain informative knowledge. This was helpful when we don’t know a lot of investment.

Secondly, a big thank you to Andrew and Ed where I suggested a podcast topic to clear my queries. They humbly thanked me for the suggestion and then within a short time, they presented this topic with relevant information from professionals. It was much appreciated to be heard and act on when you know that they had so much going on with their tours and schedules. I do wonder do they actually sleep🤣. Their sense of humour makes it so much fun to learn about investment. Thank you for assisting kiwis for investing. This is a fantastic platform to take about investing when it is not a commonly talked about.

Another big thank you to Jason Bruce our mortgage broker who has active communication skills at the same time makes you comfortable. Nothing is a trouble for him and he always make sure he provides the best information for you without rushing you. The recap from each session with him was very informative. Thank you for the good work and I will definitely recommend others to you.

Fantastic Experience and top class advice.

Every touch point at Opes was excellent. They provided First Class advice and communication. I would gladly recommend Opes to all my friends family and work colleagues. My husband and I were able to purchase two townhouses after thinking we could only buy one. I was impressed that Opes have their own in-house economist Ed, they present simple and easy-to-understand information by way of bi-weekly webinars, and Andrew and his team including Candice, and Mickey are both authentic and down to earth, and went the extra mile to hold our hand all the way through the journey of thinking, feeling, looking, planning, financing, purchasing and future goals. Also, both properties increased significantly in value between signing contracts and settlement 4 months later. Opes take the stress-free approach

Derry give us all of the answers that we were looking for

After sitting on the fence for the past 5 yrs, eventually listening to Wealth Plan and meeting Derry at Opes Partners give us all of the answers that we were looking for.

We've always had these inner questions that have stopped us from making the leap these past few years. Derry made the process very easy for us to understand, including the team around him - which has been very smooth and a quick journey. Feels great to have finally purchased our 1st rental property and to have a plan/goals for our future. Hopefully this is the 1st of many!

Craig P26/11/2023

We will definitely be coming back to you guys

I would like to say a huge and profound thank you for all your help throughout this process. We have both been really impressed with Opes - not just the quality of your own work, but also the level of service and help we got from the professionals you recommended. When we bought our first house in 2020 the process was nowhere near as smooth, and this time I think I spent about half an hour thinking "...wow, that went without a hitch!" 

I especially liked the updates portal and the meeting where we went through the settlement process, plus the helpful guide document that was provided. I have actually recommended Opes to a few of my friends, and I know once we are ready for our next investment property (once interest rates don't make us cringe!) we will definitely be coming back to you guys.

Laura12/7/2023

Both in our early 60s and wanted to have another investment strategy

We have just settled on a new build investment property. We want to highly recommend Toby for his help navigating us through this. We are both in our early 60s and wanted to have another investment strategy for when we retire. We were very happy with how Toby understood our particular situation and worked us through the correct investment for us tailored to our goals and needs. This will form part of our retirement strategy after 10 years. Through the due diligence stage and all the negative news, high interest rates etc at the moment it would have been easy to change our mind and not do anything. But Toby was great to listen, understand and give us answers that made us feel confident to keep moving forward. Opes information, tools, knowledge, and research really helped us make the final decision. Thanks again.

Craig W17/4/2023

Experts in their field

Opes Partners are experts in their field and have continuously provided reliable up to date knowledge and data on everything property. Whether it's listening to a podcast, watching a webinar, or reading one of their articles, their content and services can be trusted to help you build your understanding and ultimately reach your property goals whatever strategy suits your situation. We have recently worked with Stevie from the Christchurch office to purchase our first investment property and we couldn't thank her enough for the tailored advice we were given, the Opes staff are very friendly, kind, and professional. We will definitely be working with Opes in the future. Thanks again!

Zack C2/4/2023

The process was just so much clearer

My wife and I were extremely satisfied with the services provided by Opes. They made everything extremely easy and stress-free. Jason Bruce (and his associates) were awesome to work with. He was available at the drop of a hat and was more than happy to answer questions and follow up on any concerns we had. He always made sure we were comfortable during our time working with Opes and introduced us to many new connections that I believe will be long-lasting for many years to come. The outcome of working with Opes Partners was we made a plan for our investment journey and ended up purchasing our first investment property. Even though we could have done this ourselves, the process was just so much clearer with a lot of research presented to us to back our decision. It was great to work with Opes and we will definitely be using them again!

Mitchell24/1/2023

Very happy with our experience with Opes Partners

We've had a great experience with Toby and Carina who are friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable!

They have supported us so well through every stage of our journey and were always happy to share both their professional and personal experiences and answer any questions we had. Communication is very well refined and structured with emails, zoom calls, and prompts to watch youtube and podcast links so we always knew what to expect during every stage of purchasing our first investment property which made it a smooth and easy process

Highly recommend the Opes team!

Katie B28/4/2023

The Opes structure was really helpful to go through as a couple

We have worked with Derry as our Opes property partner. He has been easy to talk to and we felt we could ask any question. He also has a video to elaborate on anything we asked. He guided us methodically to the point of confidently buying an investment property. The Opes structure was really helpful to go through as a couple. I can honestly say we had zero arguments despite going into it thinking it would be stressful and difficult. Everything was made clear to us both and we were on the same page the entire way. We would definitely recommend Opes and Derry.

Arvin G7/11/2023

One of the best financial podcasts I've found in NZ to date

Have just discovered their podcast & it is one of the best financial podcasts I've found in NZ to date. They have daily discussions about relevant property investment issues/topics & government policies-- plus Mailbox sessions with lots of detailed answers & examples. There are over 600 episodes available, and they cover a lot! Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn more about property investment in NZ.

Jennifer S20/1/2022

I can honestly say I would never have done this - or had the expertise to navigate this on my own

I'd like to acknowledge the expertise and professionalism of Opes and let anyone else out there considering these guys to give them a go. Don't believe me, you have nothing to lose - make contact. 

It's been a thoroughly professional data driven journey with highly knowledgeable and experienced people (thank you Toby) who have made themselves and their extensive suite of resources available at every turn. In a matter of weeks since first contact, I have a property under contract and I can honestly say I would never have done this - or had the expertise to navigate this on my own. Congrats to the team at Opes and thanks so much for the support to do this. I'm looking forward to doing the next one in 3 years.

Andrea & Jono17/1/2023

Couldn't have asked for a better service

Opes Partners have been fabulous to deal with over the last 5 years. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the team, and really appreciate the way they build great relationships within a professional environment. Couldn't have asked for a better service, and for better people to suit our needs. Thanks, Opes Partners - we look forward to working with you for many years to come!

Mel W16/10/2019

Opes made a process that seemed very daunting, so much simpler and doable

Thanks so much for all the help with our first investment property - you and Opes made a process that seemed very daunting, so much simpler and doable. We are looking forward to settling our second investment property in Jan/Feb, and we are already talking about a 3rd investment property in the coming year.

Helena S27/5/2022

We felt Opes were the right fit for us

After listening to podcasts and doing some research we felt Opes were the right fit for us to discuss our financial position, and future investments which have proven valuable. We are living and working in the UK so a few added challenges. Our Financial Advisor Toby Pascoe was easy to work with and understood our previous investments having both spent time in Southland. Happy to report we have made progress and the brief has been completed with an exciting opportunity ahead for us.

Angela R11/2/2022

They do not pressure you to make any purchases

Our experience with Opes was fantastic. Kathy Faulkner was our property partner. We found her to be very informative and helpful. They do not pressure you to make any purchases. They assess your financial situation and based on your goals, provide recommendations. This is backed up with great detail, including clear assumptions and expected cash flows. You are then allowed to make an informed decision in peace. They do really mean it when it's said they are there to help.

Puli R18/9/2021

I have no hesitation in dealing with this superb team again

The staff we dealt with especially Stevie were awesome. At no stage whatsoever did we feel any pressure to go ahead with anything, they made it a fun experience, they were all full of knowledge answering all questions, and there were follow-up phone calls and emails. All the staff we dealt with were extremely professional, and at times entertaining. Thank you Opes for helping us out, I have no hesitation in dealing with this superb team again.

Highly recommended 👌

Sandy M15/3/2023

The service provided was 5-star standard

My husband and I would highly recommend Opes to anyone who is looking to invest in property. The service provided by Jason, Olivia, and Melanie was 5-star standard. Any queries we had were answered with a prompt response, putting our minds at ease. Opes youtube channel is also a huge asset, providing relevant information about the current property climate.

Jenna S28/4/2023

Amy talked me through the entire process

Many thanks to Amy Po-Ching from Opes for helping me navigate my way through buying my 1st rental.

Amy was fantastic, and always went the extra mile. She made herself readily available to answer my numerous questions, and talked me through the entire process, practically holding my hand ( when necessary 🙂 ). Amy was considered and very thoughtful in her approach, finding out what my needs from an investment are.

I thoroughly appreciate everything Amy and Opes Partners did to help me through the process and recommend them 100%.

Anita W3/11/2023

Excellent and enjoyable experience

We have had an excellent and enjoyable experience with the team at Opes. They helped provide us with the knowledge, process steps, and nudges in the right direction as we started our investment journey. Toby, Carina, and Michelle were great to work with. Their professionalism and helpful approach to information and taking the time to explain the process were hugely appreciated. We would highly recommend working with the Team at Opes if you are wanting to start an investment journey, as well as listening to Ed and Andrew's daily podcasts for great tips and advice.

Jamie S23/5/2023

Clear and well-documented process and guidance from start to finish

This was (and still is 😊) a daunting process for us but you have guided us every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful for the help you have given us as we move into this next phase of our lives.

I'm not sure how many others there are in the market doing what you do but I can't imagine that they bring the same level of professionalism in packaging the whole experience up with a knowledge base, a clear and well-documented process and guidance from start to finish. We will continue to sing your praise to anyone that we come across who is looking to buy an investment property. You guys are the best.

Kevin25/4/2023

We would definitely use this as our first port of call

Having just bought a property through OPES, we have been very impressed with how easy and streamlined they have made the whole process. If we were going to buy again, we would definitely use this as our first port of call. I love Andrew and Ed's podcasts too - enlightening, informative, and humorous! Definitely check it out if you haven't already.

Emma J27/9/2021

We wanted to say thank you for all your guidance and advice in the purchasing of our 1st Investment Property.

While it has been a steep learning curve and a bit of a whirl-wind adventure (to say the least), we couldn’t be happier with your step-by-step guidance and advice along with all of the other help along the way, i.e. insurance, property manager, etc. We definitely could not have done it without you. We feel very grateful for being placed into your expert hands and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.

Barry & Karen B5/9/2023

I wouldn't have taken action

Opes Partners are great to work with. Thanks to Jason and his team without them I'm sure I wouldn't have taken action. Great advice was given and the team at Opes were able to point me towards the professionals that would give me the correct advice to make informed decisions. Definitely recommend.

Cory S22/3/2023

Our settlement at 6/22 Rutherford Street Woolston went very smoothly

Our settlement at 6/22 Rutherford Street Woolston went very smoothly, a big thank you to Vivienne for her highly organised work. We had tenants moved in straight away, rent is at $675 per week instead of the old appraisal of $620. It’s a great purchase, thank you Dennis for your recommendation.

Cherie13/6/2023

Delighted with the service and attention to detail provided by Derry Brown at Opes Partners. His tenacity in ringfencing our property for us when the opportunity arose was much appreciated. Highly recommended and we look forward to continuing the partnership in the future.

Oli C17/11/2023

A hassle free journey

Have listened to the Opes podcasts for years and decided to use them to help get into investment properties. Our Opes property partner, Derry Brown, was able to listen to our needs and formulate a plan tailored exactly for us. Derry and his team then made the selection, financing and settlement of a couple of New Builds seamless by guiding us and answering any questions or concerns along the way. Opes and specifically Derry & Olivia, made what could have been a scary dive into investing for our retirement , a hassle free journey. Thanks!

Greg H11/11/2023

Information was very clear and detailed

Worked with Derry to purchase an investment property. Information was very clear and detailed. He has a lot of knowledge in this area which made the process very streamlined and easy.

Debbie C17/12/2023

Quickly she presented us with three good options

We Interviewed with Maxine and very quickly she presented us with three good options that were thoroughly detailed and we locked one in l, and the rest is history. We feel, with OPES, we were dealing with reputable property developers and can launch forward with confidence.

Derry was there from the beginning

We have had a great experience with OPES having just settled on a property in Auckland. Derry was there from the beginning with advice whenever required and Ella was superb at securing the finance for us through turbulent times. Loved working with them both and look forward to doing so again soon.

The Webbs14/12/2023

Couldn't speak more highly of Derry and his team

We are currently closing our 2nd property purchase with OPES and couldn't speak more highly of Derry and his team. They provide invaluable advice, set you on the right track and create a long term plan to build success and achieve your goals. Derry recently connected me with Peter from the OPES Mortgage Broker division and he has been a game changer for us. Peter has impressive knowledge and great insight and has helped us understand where we are at and where we can get to and explains it in the easiest of terms to understand. Highly Recommended.

Mike5/12/2023

What an amazing team at OPES!

For novices like us it can be a scary and daunting process

We will definitely be working with them again in the future.

Glen S11/12/2023

The property was tenanted quickly

Really happy working with Opes on taking the next step adding a new build property to our portfolio.

Working with Derry to work understand the options for what worked for us and using Opes' awesome calculators, research and podcasts/youtube etc gave confidence we were making informed decisions.

We were looking to move quickly and while the first place didn't work out, the second was quickly secured with Derry, Michelle and Olivia working hard to make it happen on our terms.

The property was tenanted quickly and we're super happy with the process so far.

Paul M1/12/2023

There was no question that they didn't know the answer to

Derry and his team from the Auckland office helped us navigate the process of buying our first investment property from start to end. There was no question we couldn't ask, or that they didn't answer. Derry also helped us to make goals for our retirement and created a plan to help us achieve those. It was all so smooth and slick, we were very impressed with the company.

Siobhan P11/12/2023

Bring on the next property!

We have been working with Derry for awhile now and have finally managed to go unconditional on our first property purchased through Opes Partners.

Tim R28/12/2023

Found excellent tenants a week from settlement

My wife and I bought our first investment property through Opes earlier this year, and thought the tools, information and support they provided throughout the process was amazing! We had listened to the podcast and used the excellent 'return on Investment' spreadsheet for about a year before we decided an investment property was the right thing for us, and it was the right time in the market. We were pretty cautious at first, but having the tools and information to run the numbers and feel we were making an informed decision in our own time really helped! Maxine at Opes provided us comprehensive info packs on 3 recommended new-build options in our price range, and we decided on one that was already completed to go ahead with. As it was our first investment property, there were so many steps that we really had no idea about- like setting up a look through company, and getting prpperty and chattel valuations - but Tina at Opes had this great checklist for us to work through, and helped us so much through the process. We also decided to use Opes property management service, and they have been great - they found excellent tenants a week from settlement, and we've had no issues! Throughout the process we were very happy with the service Opes offered, and would highly recommend working with them... Cheers to Maxine and Tina for the patience, time and support along the way!

Lans H2/12/2023

Opes is one of the best professional services teams we have worked with

Working with Stevie and Jason made for an excellent experience. Opes is one of the best professional services teams we have worked with.

Their use of data and the way it's presented was extremely helpful and very forward-thinking. The communication from the whole team was excellent, and getting a re-cap video at the end of each meeting was great to go back to.

We will be looking to work with Opes more in the future and continue our property journey!

Cheers Jourdan

Jourdan L20/1/2024

Wealth of information you guys shared

Thanks Derry and the wider OPES team for the wealth of information you guys shared and helping us navigate the process of finding (and purchasing) the right property for us! Really helped us to feel we were making a well informed decision.

Jarrod A22/1/2024

We cannot recommend their service enough

We have just purchased an investment property using Opes Partners. We owe thanks to our exceptional team for getting us through the process and are extremely grateful for their expertise and support throughout. Our property partner, Kathy, was motivating and encouraging, our client relationship manager was diligently organized and our mortgage broker, Jason, was phenomenal with communications and frequent updates.

The entire team have worked tirelessly on our behalf and we are excited for what the future holds for us and our property portfolio.

Do yourself a favor and take action! Give the team an email, set up a consult, start listening to Ed and Andrew on their Property Academy Podcast and take control of your future. We cannot recommend their service enough and we plan to do a lot more business with them in the future.

Tamati R17/1/2024

His expertise and guidance was invaluable

We had a great experience with Derry at OPES partners who was our first contact and advisor for our investment property purchasing journey. His expertise and guidance was invaluable, making what is a stressful process much more manageable. He took the time to understand our financial goals and situation and recommended a property that aligned with our objectives. Highly recommend Derry and also Olivia our client relationship manager who guided us through the remainder of the property purchasing process.

James W16/12/2023

I feel like talking to a friend with him

Not rushed, not pressured in any way

Amy and the team at Opes are the Best. How grateful we feel now for having a plan in place. Great knowledge, direction, advice, great options, great company. We felt supported throughout the complete process. Not rushed, not pressured in any way. Just surrounded by professionals that care and manage every step along the way. We totally recommend you get in touch with Amy she will always have time and the team beside her make her an investment machine....

We will definitely be back to talk with Opes

Derry Brown was our Property Partner at OPES Auckland and we enjoyed working alongside him to purchase our new build property in Rolleston. He was great at talking it through with us and sharing his own personal experiences as well as the pros and cons of the properties we were looking at. Some of the concepts took us a while to understand as we are new to property investment, but Derry worked with us through each of our questions and we were really happy with the outcome. We are looking forward to getting the keys to our new rental in Feb the house looks great and is coming along with no issues at all.

We will definitely be back to talk with OPES and Derry on our next purchase. Thanks Team

Opes team are the best in the field!

Highly recommended as they have wrap around services and connections that made the property investing so much easy, especially that husband and I work full time and didn’t have much time to know every thing about property investing.

Thanks, Opes team :)

Provided ongoing help and support

Great experience - the team at Opes provided ongoing help and support right throughout the investment property purchase. Special shout out to Kathy and Olivia who were amazing!

Outstanding!

Very professional and easy to deal with. They were our very first property manager for our first rental property and we couldn't have wished for more!

Very professional and made the process very easy

Derry was a great help in developing our wealth plan and then assisting in the purchase of our investment property. The whole Opes team are very professional and made the process very easy.

Made the process of buying my first investment property a seamless and stress free experience

Great experience working with Derry at Opes - he made the process of buying my first investment property a seamless and stress free experience, and was great at responding to all my questions and scepticism in a clear and timely manner. Great support from the team also. Highly recommend!

My partner and I both felt more empowered

My partner and I had an incredibly insightful conversation with Lance Jensen from Opes Partners. We are new to property investing and wanted to utilise the expert knowledge and services that Opes Partners offered to get us on track to reach our property investment goals. Lance delivered in spades. He straight away recognised some challenges that we would face and we both appreciated the frank & open discussion around this. By the end of the session my partner and I both felt more empowered on our property investment journey. We also have greater clarity around the work we need to do in order to put ourselves into a position to get the next property(s). If you have thought about doing the portfolio planning session with Opes & haven't yet, then just do it!

The team hold your hand through it all and make it so simple

Cannot recommend the team at Opes more highly. Have been looked after by Kathy, Liv and Andrew at various points and have had all the scary and complicated parts of starting the property investment process taken out of the equation. The team hold your hand through it all and make it so simple. We opted for the path of least resistance and just used all the companies affiliated with Opes and while this is definitely not my style normally (research, research, research, compare reviews and prices, agonise over decisions), I can say that everyone we have dealt with has been professional, friendly and fantastic. They have complied a great team, a seamless system, and we are just so glad we didn't try to do it by ourselves.

Feels like we have hit the jackpot!

We got hooked on the "The Property Academy Podcast" that features Ed and Andrew which is honestly where you should start. We reached out to Opes Partners and feel like we have hit the jackpot!

Opes Partners is a team of professional and trustworthy industry experts. Stepping into the world of investment is not easy, but being under their guidance we felt really well informed. They use evidence based data from third parties so you know you are receiving factual information that you can use to make the best decisions to meet your own financial goals. Their entire process is incredible from the way in which they present potential properties, their format for showing you how you can meet your wealth goals to the incredible spreadsheets comparing property prices etc. Highly recommend Opes Partners, without a doubt. Reach out to them and experience what it is like to work with people at the top of their game!

We were grateful with our superstar team made up of Kathy, Jason and Olivia. Total legends! But I hear all their staff are pretty outstanding. Do not hesitate. We just settled and are already dreaming about our next property and working with Opes Partners again.

We are exceeding our dreams

We would like to send a massive shout out to one of your team, Kathy Faulkner. We just had our 2nd meeting with her and are blown away by her professionalism, passion and expert knowledge. She has been incredible at making us feel heard, valued, seen and ready to take the colossal jump into building a property portfolio with Opes. The tools your company provide are incredible and take away a lot of guesswork, as you implement evidence based data. We are truly blown away by the level of comprehensive information you are utilising that therefore means a lot of our questions are answered.

Excitement does not sum up what we feel. We are exceeding our dreams with the help and support of Kathy and Opes Partners.

We have included a whakatauki that sums up this email. Thank you to Opes Partners and Kathy for helping us form our team.

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini

My success should not be attributed to me alone; due to it being the accomplishment of the collective and not only the success of me as an individual.

We've been happy to recommend them

My wife and I recently decided to invest in the property market. We had heard from various people that Opes Partners was a great company to use due to their helpful, easygoing, and professional service. We used the Opes website to make an appointment and started talking to a financial advisor named Amy Po-Ching. Amy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, which made the process easier and exciting.

Because of this positive experience with Opes, we've been happy to recommend them, and especially Amy, to other people who are also looking to invest.
