A friendly, patient agent who made buying my first home a great experience.

A friendly, patient agent who made buying my first home a great experience.

I had a really positive experience working with John throughout the process. He was friendly, approachable and easy to deal with from start to finish. He kept me updated, was always happy to answer my questions and never made me feel pressured or rushed into making a decision. John was also really helpful during negotiations and worked with the sellers to reach a price that I could afford, which I genuinely appreciated. As a first-time buyer, having someone who was patient, communicative and willing to work with me made the whole experience much less stressful. I'd happily recommend John to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, approachable and genuinely good to deal with. Thank you for helping make buying my first home such a positive experience!

Experience Real State Agent

We had a fantastic experience with John Tran from Harcourts throughout the sale of our property. From the very beginning, John was professional, approachable, responsive, and always kept us informed throughout the process. He worked hard to market our property, handled negotiations professionally, and stayed committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. His communication and dedication gave us confidence, especially during the more stressful stages of the sale. We are very happy with the successful sale of our property and genuinely appreciate all the effort John put in to make the process as smooth as possible. We would highly recommend John Tran and Harcourts to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you, John, for your excellent service and for helping us achieve a great result!

Found "My Go To Agent"

When i bought the property, Alex was the seller's agent. Past forward four years when I have decided to sell the property I chose Alex to be my agent. Hence my dealings with Alex were both as buyer and seller and on both circumstances I have liked his professionalism, honesty and market knowledge and it feels comforting that he is always around to update us, address my queries and concerns and I feel guided and was never let down.
