The recent successful sale of my apartment in Port Melbourne was handled quickly and efficiently by Jon Kett and the rest of the staff at Chisholm & Gamon. I would recommend them as the agent of choice in the Port Melbourne area. Bob Donovan
Jon Kett
From the moment we engaged Jon we felt like he was selling his own property and bringing us a long for the journey. He talked straight - he was honest and extremely accurate in predicting the actual sale price and did not over estimate to us or underquote to potential buyers during the marketing campaign. He was evidence based - He backed up recommendations with multiple actual examples of lessons learned from other properties recently sold in the same area, including from other agents. He was strategic - advised on how to get the biggest bang for buck from maintenance work and staging. The advertising strategy was perfectly targeted for maximum impact and made use of relevant channels (including social media). He was thorough - provided us with a written/verbal update after every open for inspection and was always accessible to answer our questions. He was resourceful - arranged for multiple quotes and coordinated all the maintenance work and staging, whilst keeping us fully informed and in control of the decisions along the way. All the work was of extremely high quality and very reasonably priced. The property was tenanted and he assisted to negotiate with the tenants to break the lease 6 months ahead of term, whilst helping them to find another property and vacate in sufficient time for the maintenance work and marketing campaign. He arranged for an auctioneer that was a master in his field - with the charisma (who didn't crack insulting jokes) to generate the excitement and competitive tension that led to a sale price well above our expectations. I am time poor and he took all the effort and hard work out of selling - In fact I don't think I did very much apart from make decisions. He is very a good communicator and gets straight to the point. He has a pleasant demeanour and very easy to get a long with. I don't think I could sell another property in the future without having Jon represent us, irrespective of the location.

We were very impressed with Jon's approach to selling our unit. He kept us upto date during the whole process. There were no surprises. He gave honest feedback and we felt we could trust him completely. Although we NEVER MET Jon (we are from the country) he organised everything and was always available to answer any questions or queries we might have. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jon to anybody thinking of buying or selling real estate.

We always felt Jon was acting in our best interests as sellers. Communication was regular timely and clear. He was very well organised with excellent interpersonal skills. He was ably supported by jo the auctioneer. Their teamwork was impressive and effective.

Throughout the sale campaign, John kept us fully informed as to who came to see our apartment as well as level of interest via text followed by a personal phone call. He was very professional but friendly in his dealings with us and we never felt any undue pressure from him to sell at a price we were not comfortable with.

I thought that selling my property while living overseas in Denmark was going to be an extremely difficult and challenging experience – but Jon proved me wrong! He managed the whole process faultlessly. It was unbelievably smooth from the moment my tenant vacated, through the painting, repairs and the ‘dressing’ of the apartment, right up to the final signing of the contract. His attention to detail was superb and the small touches were extremely appreciated. He was always on top of everything that was happening and his level of communication was outstanding. I believe I got the best price possible for my apartment and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jon and his team to anyone selling their property in Port Melbourne.

Jon was very understanding. He chose a 4 week campaign which satisfied both my tenants and myself. He insisted on decluttered photos which worked well. The proof of his success was that there were 5 binders at the auction and the property sold at auction to the satisfaction of all parties.
