Passionate, knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.

Working with Moses Habib from Belle Property was an excellent experience for our family. I first met Moses at a property inspection in St Kilda East and was impressed by his professionalism and enthusiasm, so I was keen for him to be involved in the sale of our home, which had been in the family for over a century. He was friendly, responsive and brought great energy to the process, keeping us updated throughout. His professionalism ensured everything ran smoothly and helped deliver a fantastic auction result. We’re very grateful and would happily recommend him.

Exceptional Customer Service

Costa provided us with the upmost professional and excellent experience as our real estate agent from the very beginning to the end of our property sale campaign! Despite a few challenges during our long campaign with the volatile market and buyer interest he always made us feel like we were the priority and always made us feel encouraged and positive at all times. He went above and beyond with our numerous open and private inspections and constantly communicated with us inspection feedback honestly and with genuine professional advice always! His years of experience with Belle Property was obvious and vital for our final sale. Would recommend Costa without any hesitation and not consider any other agent or property group if the need arises in the near future! Overall very happy and a great experience especially as first time property sellers.

Hard Working, Reliable and Honest

Due to the uniqueness of the property and the narrow band of potential buyers, it took us 7 months to sell. Throughout this long campaign, Sam conducted two Open for Inspections every week and maintained his enthusiasm and offered useful advice/insights where appropriate. He is very personable and approachable. His communication was always thorough, professional, insightful and honest. I have no hesitation in recommending him to sell your property and he would be my first choice for any future property sales.

Our agent's experience and advice pays off!

If you want an agent who is constantly on the ball, always answers your calls SMSs, is a great communicator keeping you updated every step of the sale campaign - John is your man! Nothing was too much trouble for John when it came to selling our family home - he went above and beyond with every potential buyer, scheduling ad-hoc inspections when it suited them, following up on every lead, and - as importantly - constantly being in touch with us and providing invaluable guidance. This was the most important sales campaign of our lives, and we were grateful that John was there with us every step of the way. We would not hesitate to get John's help in the future, and are recommending him to all our friends and family. Thank you John!
