An experienced sales agent who focuses on what matters

I’m very happy to recommend Darren Jones as a sales agent. He exceeded my expectations throughout the campaign and was genuine, steady, and professional from start to finish. At a time when many agents lean heavily on systems, scripts, and process, Darren brings a more traditional approach, he simply gets on with the job. He hustles, works buyer interest properly, and stays focused on the fundamentals that actually sell property. As someone who works in real estate myself, I’m conscious of how sales processes are often handled, and I never once felt “worked” or managed. Darren was direct, honest, and straightforward, which I genuinely appreciated. He put the effort in where it mattered, generating interest, maintaining momentum, and keeping communication clear and practical throughout the campaign. He was also well supported by his team, including Jess and Ashley Croall as auctioneer, which added energy without losing control of the process. If you’re looking for an experienced agent who knows his craft, works hard, and is genuinely good to deal with, I would confidently recommend Darren and his team.

Fresh, transparent, and focused on results

I’m very happy to recommend Jessica as a sales agent. She was fresh, responsive, and a genuine pleasure to deal with throughout the sales campaign. As someone who works in real estate, I’m conscious of how sales processes are often handled, and I never felt “worked” or managed in the way some agents do. Jessica was honest, direct, and professional at all times. What stood out most was her willingness to put in the work where it counts. She focused on generating and actively working buyer interest, maintaining momentum, and providing clear, practical updates via Darren as the campaign progressed. Jessica brings energy, transparency, and a strong work ethic to her role. If you’re looking for an agent who is prepared to roll up her sleeves and genuinely commit to achieving the right outcome, she is well worth engaging.

Seller of House in Greensborough.

Max has been an amazing person to work with. Being the first time, we have been involved in selling a property we had no experience at all, and Max made sure that we understood each step as we progressed. Max was always in contact with us and made sure we knew what stage the sale was at, at all times. Considering the current market, we were happy with the outcome and had trust in his negotiation skills throughout. We would highly recommend Darren Jones Real Estate when selling a property.

Seamless Home-Buying Experience with Exceptional Service and Great Negotiation!

I recently purchased a house with the help of Max, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Throughout the process, he was highly professional, responsive, and handled everything smoothly. Every question I had was answered promptly, and the entire transaction was seamless. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property!

The agent for us

Upon meeting Graham, we quickly decided he was the right agent for us. His experience, honest approach and professionalism made him stand out from other agents we were considering. Graham’s realistic approach and way of communicating ensured we were constantly updated with every aspect of the sale process, be it out of hours or weekends which was brilliant. We were particularly impressed by his skill in following every lead to ensure we achieved the best possible result. He was fantastic!

max was professional/honest and was in contact regularity

max was professional/ honest and communicated regularity during the sales campaign , didnt quite make the Price quoted $800,000 . At the auction there was only one bidder .Sale price $775,000( less than land value) I think Max tried his best , but he couldnt attrack any other buyers . I think Max should still have advised the approval of 2 x bedroom town houses /houses (counsel approved ) with subdivision and still even failed to mention at Auction . I think was a mistake . I think put it down to experience
