After dealing with 3 agents this year to buy and sell a few properties, I found John to be the most pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and credible to name just a few things. Selling my property was not a straight forward one. Considering the unusual and difficult circumstances, John's approach was what worked and what sold our property in the quickest time possible with a great result that I was not expecting at all. His communication was fantastic. He always reported back within a timely manner with any information he needed to pass on and offered an approach to the sale that worked very well when the last approach had failed miserably. He was always honest and managed our difficult situation very well, without complaining once. His negotiations with prospective buyers worked very well which is why we got such a great result. I highly recommend his services.

We recently sold our property through JAS Stephens using Branko as our agent. We found the whole process from start to finish completely transparent and most importantly "stress free". Branko and his colleagues (Cherie, Helen and Chris) guided us the whole way, giving us constant updates (house preparation tips for sale, photo and booklet brochure guidance, and our preferred inspection and auction time). The highlight being the lead up to the auction, with Branko providing us a Pre Auction Report and talking us through the auction process beforehand. He let us know the likely buyers and then informed us on auction day of their attendance: this giving us great confidence and reassurance that our house would sell. Branko certainly knew his potential buyers and the western suburbs market inside out. And so it did sell at auction! Our townhouse selling to one of the buyers Branko and his team advised us of prior to auction day. Plus it went above our expectations and reserve set which was a thrill!! Branko and his JAS Stephens team lived up to all of our expectations, providing peace of mind through a potentially stressful experience. No stone was left unturned and all commitments we agreed to were met. We would highly recommend them to anyone contemplating selling their home.

We bought our property from Tate and sold our property through Tate. He was transparent with us and avoided underquoting. He quoted us a price for an off market sale and was able to achieve that price. I would recommend selling through Tate.

We've known Tate for many years and it was great to know that we were dealing with a genuine, authentic person who we felt was absolutely doing the best for us in our house sale. I would recommend Tate wholeheartedly - he is a deeply knowledgeable, credible and approachable person. The fact that he has a pretty refined sense of humour always helps too!

My recent sale was the second time I utilised the services of Tate Moore from Jas H Stephens in Yarraville and I would not hesitate to do so again. He is extremely professional whilst being warm and engaging. He provides just the right amount of communication and knows how to treat clients with respect and efficiency. Highly recommended.

We were very impressed with Tate and in particular his communication style. Tate clearly explained everything step by step throughout the sale process and always consulted with us to ensure we were happy with the way things were progressing. Tate has integrity, a warm personality and is honest in regard to clients’ expectations. Tate is supported throughout by an extremely professional, client focussed group at Jas H Stephens in Yarraville. We are very grateful to Tate for the outcome he achieved in selling our property and we would highly recommend him.

Whilst I am struggling to find words that can truly sum up the amazing experience I had when selling my Property in Geelong West – I do know I can thank John Galea from Jas Stephens Yarraville for it all. I was fortunate enough to have wisely chosen John to sell my property in Yarraville 4 years ago under extremely difficult circumstances. At that time I was absolutely impressed by his honesty, commitment, communication, ethic and sympathetic approach to selling the property. So when it came to selling my house in Geelong West John was definitely in the mix of potential sales consultants along with several local agents. After much debate with friends and family – predominantly over concerns with respect to market knowledge and price (as John was slightly more expensive). I went with the agent I knew and trusted. I entrusted John to advise me on all aspects of the sale, including house prep – which was absolutely outstanding (special thanks to Rob and his team) - his choice in staging team, and his chosen photography package. During the campaign his commitment was unwavering! He was strategic and tenacious, following up all interested parties on the day of the opens. He was friendly, welcoming, polite and honest to all the potential and non-potential buyers, none of whom had bad word to say against him. He was always happy to answer questions from both myself and the people who came to view 30 O’Connell street. And, after a carefully considered sales campaign, John achieved a result far better than I could have ever wished for. I have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone looking to sell their property, and would be completely happy to provide further details if requested.

George kept us informed after inspections and him and his team negotiated with the buyers right up to signing the contract to achieve a price we were really happy with and only $5k short of the asking price.

We dealt with John for the purchase of a property in Geelong West, unfortunately we were not the successful party however we found our experience with John a very positive one. He went beyond the call of duty with his communication and kept us updated every step of the way. I would not hesitate to use John as an agent when selling a home and wish he was in Geelong so we could purchase our home through him.
