▶Jon worked with our principal agent, Kathy Komar, in selling our house. What stood out for me is that Jon came across as genuinely interested in us and our welfare, and thus appreciated the toll it took getting the place ready and doing multiple open days each week. He was responsive to our enquiries and provided answers and feedback that were empathetic and well informed. That really helped as we came to better appreciate the state of the market and needed to adjust our expectations about the price. Similarly, as we proceeded through the campaign and better understood the pool of interested buyers, we felt we got good advice about understanding that the buyers were appreciating and what it might mean to them with respect to the kind of offers we might expect and when. We ultimately sold more quickly than many houses in our suburb of late, and at a price that was as good as we could reasonably expect. It surpassed the minimum we'd set ourselves by a healthy amount so we're very pleased, and relieved, with the outcome.
When we started the process of finding an agent we wanted someone who we felt we connected with, and who could give us guidance about what to expect through the process. We felt that we got that with Kathy. She understood what we saw as the positives of the house, but she also understood the market and what we needed to do to broaden the appeal to a range of buyers. When Kathy advised we should do things we simply followed her advice and did them and I believe they paid off. We sold in a lower market than it had been 6 months or a year before so we needed someone who could help us adjust our expectations while also conveying that she really would work to get us the right price. We adjusted the approach along the way, opting to cancel a planned auction to negotiate directly with the most interested buyer. Again, we needed the reassurance of someone who knew the market and the process to feel comfortable it was the right approach. Ultimately we sold for what we believe is the best the market would offer and we sold more quickly than other houses in our suburb have done recently.
