What our customers love

What our
customers love

A first-class virtual reception service. We never missed a call and all after-hours enquiries were handled very professionally.
James Hatzimoisis
Very effective solution for businesses looking for a professional touch. I have used OfficeHQ with two businesses and will certainly use their services again.
Fadi Hajjar
The receptionists consistently have a professional phone manner in speaking to our prospective clients.
Stavros Loizides, Fox First Real Estate
A real person is so much better to talk to … we use the service for specific project sales lines, the office line and mobiles when we are in meetings or onsite predominantly.
Pavilion Homes Group
OfficeHQ has done a fantastic job managing our phones over the weekends. I have been extremely happy with their service over the past 18 months.
Ronelle Deaner
In real estate our customers call between 8am and 8pm, well outside standard business hours … (we) see the service as a seamless extension of our business.
GC Real Estate
We love the 24/7 use of our 1300 number and market the use toward the calls that we don’t want to miss.

FAQs

In real estate, a prospective seller who can’t get through will often simply call the next agent on their list – and in a competitive market, that’s a lead you won’t get back.  Ensuring your calls are always answered by a real person builds confidence with prospective clients and ensures no enquiry goes cold while you’re at an inspection, with a client or out of the office.

Live call answering also allows you to screen calls, so you only receive transfers for the enquiries that matter most.  Every message is delivered instantly, so you can prioritise call-backs and stay across your pipeline without being tied to the phone.

Yes! OfficeHQ is a privately-owned Australian company. Our head office is on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, with about 90% of our entire Australian team – including our virtual receptionists – based in that region.

Our telecommunications network extends to 66 telephone exchanges, giving us the largest range of local numbers of any Australian virtual reception services provider.

Yes, our team of receptionists can answer calls you’d usually miss.  You may be on another call or simply unable to answer because you’re busy at the time. Our receptionists will take a detailed message and send to you instantly by email or SMS. Many clients who subscribe to our service are surprised when they learn how many calls they’d been missing prior to having their calls answered by OfficeHQ.

Yes. On MyAssistant or MyDiary plans, we can follow your preferred call script to assess whether a maintenance call is urgent, then escalate as required to the appropriate property manager or on-call contact. Non-urgent calls are still messaged to you immediately for follow-up during business hours.

Yes. On a MyDiary plan, our receptionists can book appointments directly into your preferred calendar or property management software. We handle the scheduling so your team can stay focused on other priorities.

Yes. This is referred to as “call overflow”.

A lot of companies require their phone calls to be answered only when they are unable to take the call themselves. For example, if you step out of the office for an hour or your in-house receptionist goes to lunch, is on leave or is busy on another call and you have multiple calls coming in at the one time.

You can set your business phone number to divert (to the unique local phone number we allocate your business during the Free Trial setup process) only when the phone rings for more than a specified period (such as after 5 rings) or if your line is busy/engaged.

In such instances our receptionists will then answer the phone as if we were in your office. You’re always in control and can relax knowing you will never miss another important call again!
