Would highly recommend John was an outstanding agent to deal with. He was prompt with updates all the time. His professionalism was above and beyond and he understood everything we needed and met those requirements. Can not fault him in any way and will use John and Thornton Realty for any further endeavours.

From the moment we met John, we felt very comfortable with his friendly approach. We were extremely impressed with his experience and ability to advise us about the process and made it less stressful. We were also very impressed with the way, the open house was advertised. The thing that mattered to us was the constant communication until the property was sold, and in the process, he reflected high level of professionalism and an eye to the detail which we hardly see dealing with many agents in the real estate industry. We liked the fact how he never insisted us in this difficult time of Covid-19 to sell our property at a reduced price. He respected the worth of our property and gave us honest advice about what the market was reflecting with presentation of all the data. He dealt the situation with very patience, keeping all safety restrictions in mind and kept his clients safe. It was a great pleasure doing business with him and his team. Wishing you guys good luck!

Being a first home buyer, the process is quite daunting but John and his team was always there to help to ensure we got the best. He was very professional and always answered questions well. He was adaptable to the requests I made too which stood out. Thank you John

John was at all times a pleasure to work with. John kept his word at all times, provided timely and clear communication, picked the right time and way to go to market, provided what was clearly the right advice, showed great energy and drive in ensuring that as the vendor we were happy with the outcome, along with ensuring that ethics and morals where upheld at all times - very happy with John’s efforts and approach to selling our home :-)

We went from an open house on the 17th to final contract exchange on the 27th! John was honest, straight forward and very helpful with our first home purchasing experience. Highly recommend!

John was AMAZING. He really listened to what we were looking for in our new house. His communication is above any other agents iv met. We were constantly getting emails from John with updates on the market and the new house's coming to market. It actually felt like John was working for us. He was always getting us into houses to look at. He did have a house that was prefect and he helped us secure it. No other agents made us feel this understood and safe buying with them.

We were looking to purchase an investment property within a certain are of East Maitland and had been to view a few of John’s properties he was marketing. We had met John initially last year when we purchased our first home in the area, so we knew was very active and knowledgeable regarding properties in the area we were again looking to purchase. John is extremely in tune with the local market and offered great advice. Once we had settled on purchasing one of John’s properties the whole process was simple and stress free. John’s communication and professionalism was second to none making the purchase as stress free as possible. Would definitely recommend John and Thornton Realty to prospective buyers or sellers and would surely you his services again myself.

John was easy to deal with and communication was good.

Unlike some RE Agents, John works personally very hard with his team for his vendor in ensuring he does not only rely on normal marketing strategies. Instead he really does use his skills, reputation and contacts to ensure his client's interests are number one priority. It cannot be a coincidence that 3 out of 3 properties placed in John,s hands within a 2 year period all sold within a week from contract, the price asked matched market expectations so we were very pleased. The communication is almost daily, even if nothing has occurred, and when it does there is priority to exchange and settle, he also treats buyers with respect and honesty. We sincerely recommend John Birrell to anyone seeking the sale or purchase of their real estate, basically we trust him.

Dealing with John and his team at Thornton Realty was outstanding. John kept us informed with every detail of the sale. I never had to call John once to find out what was happening, he always gave us updates as soon as he knew. I highly recommend John and the Thornton Realty team and I would definitely use them again.
