Professional and trustworthy

Having both brought and sold with Nick Renna previously over the years, I had no hesitation in listing my property for sale with him and Jellis Craig again. A realistic market appraisal, honesty and alignment on price and what was required to sell the property was present from our initial chat through to sign on and ultimately a sale. Targeting buyers and conducting initial virtual open for inspections, which thankfully progressed to one on one’s, was challenging versus my previous sales experience. However, Nick and the team supported by Kosta and Tina, ensured l had real buyers available to produce a competitive sale pre auction, in a post lockdown environment. I was extremely happy with both previous and the way my current inspections were held, the post follow up debriefs on buyers and management of my expectations throughout the whole campaign. Nick is a personable and professional leader in his industry, who without hesitation l would use again for future property decisions. He is a pleasure to deal with and has maintained contact over a 15 year period which is rare and valued. I would highly recommend Nick to any future buyers and sellers to represent your interests, his genuine service is over and beyond. This review is long overdue and well deserved, however sometimes you never really appreciate the professionalism and high standard you have experienced until you don’t receive that same service with another agent (as a buyer) so sincerely thank you Nick, much appreciated.

Kosta was wonderful to work with along with his terrific team. Communication was timely & accurate

Kosta & his team members are highly professional, offering plenty of advice that was useful & appreciated. All members of the team were on the same page & their communication was timely & accurate. The whole process was seamless and stress free with no unwelcome surprises. I highly recommend Kosta & his team Luke & Tina. Dealing with consummate professionals turns what can be stressful process into a streamlined experience. Kosta is brilliant in action on auction day.

Kosta lives and breathes the East Bentleigh area

We felt like we were in such good hands with Kosta and Tina from JC. There is no one more qualified to sell homes in the East Bentleigh area. Kosta has sold hundreds of homes in the area and is a local so we felt very comfortable that he would do an amazing job and they did. Thank you Tina and Kosta .
