Determined, thoughtful, energetic, relentless

I tried to sell my unit in 2025 and it passed in well below reserve. I changed agents in 2026 and I’m so glad I did because Moses Habib and his team got me a great offer in a much tougher market. His grind, enthusiasm, and determination made all the difference. Moses knows the market, thinks laterally and genuinely cares about his clients. He gives very informed and considered advice about strategy. I will only ever use Moses Habib in future. Thank you Moses and team!

Very Please With The Campaign

We recently sold our home through John and were very pleased with the service we received throughout the campaign. The sale presented a number of challenges, including the nature of the title and a changing market, but John remained professional, communicative and committed from start to finish. They kept us informed throughout the process, were realistic in their advice, and worked hard to achieve a successful outcome. We particularly appreciated their responsiveness and willingness to answer questions, explain options and guide us through what can be a stressful process. We always felt that we were kept up to date and understood where things stood. Selling a home after many years is never easy, but John helped make the process as smooth as possible. We would be happy to recommend them to others considering selling their property.

Great result and negotiation

Moses was very clear in explaining the process, what he would do and how he would work with us throughout the sales process. He's a strong communicator, stays in contact with regular updates and, most importantly for me, did everything exactly as he said he would. He quickly created strong interest in our off-market property and achieved a really strong result that was better than we expected. Despite the current market and economic headwinds, Moses got a great result which we are really happy with. I definitely recommend Moses and would use him again if I had another property to sell.
