Alex Jacobs

We recently dealt with Alex for the sale of our property in Green Point. We could not be happier with the experience. Alex was professional, honest and approachable and kept us informed every step of the way. His knowledge of the local market and attention to detail made the whole process far less stressful then we expected. We would highly recommend Alex from JKL real estate.

Excellent communication throughout the process. Great teamwork with Levi included would always followup with prospective buyers and keep us in the loop. Had finger on the pulse for what the Market demanded and excellent local knowledge and supported us every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with the Sale of our property and would thoroughly recommend JKL to future Clients.

My experience with Alex as an agent has been very positive, good communication and fair negotiation as a buyer.

We engaged Alex Jacobs from JKL to sell our Tuncurry property based on a long-standing relationship and trust. While the property sold, the experience fell well short of expectations. The campaign lacked structure. We received limited guidance on pricing or strategy. We were misinformed about advertising rules. Communication was inconsistent and vague. Zero strategy was provided to generate buyer competition or improve outcomes. Offers were passed through without evidence of negotiation or development. Early offers were presented without context. When multiple buyers emerged, there was no visible effort to create competitive tension. At a key point, with competing interest, we requested a further $2,500 be pursued from a buyer. Alex refused to negotiate on our behalf. We had to drive key decisions, including guide price reductions, due to lack of proactive recommendations. After accepting an offer, Alex insisted on 10 days cooling off instead of the standard 5 without recognising it extended into Easter, effectively giving the buyer 18 calendar days. This removed the property from the market during a strong period with minimal deposit protection. Repairs were not completed despite promises. Prospective buyers were turned away from open homes without our knowledge or approval. Building inspections were not properly supervised. One day before settlement, the buyer raised alleged maintenance issues, escalating into a dispute requiring significant involvement from us and our conveyancer, including independent verification confirming no issue existed. We raised detailed concerns with the agency. The response acknowledged them generally but did not address specifics. A small goodwill adjustment was offered. Overall, we found Alex complacent and disinterested, focussing on the buyer rather than us. The campaign lacked diligence, strategy, and effective representation. It was not sold under optimal conditions. We would not engage this agent again.

Alex kept me informed throughout the whole process in a friendly and professional manner. I would recommend Alex without any hesitation.

We bought the property from Alex originally. We enjoyed working with him on that purchase and we managed to stay in touch with him over the years. When it came time to sell it was a no brainer to work with him again. Obviously selling is much more intense than buying when it comes to working with an agent. Alex made it easy. We caught up a couple of times a week as well as getting reports in email each week. This helped to keep us connected with the process. The sale took a little longer than initially expected. Alex remained very positive throughout and this helped with any anxiety we were feeling. While we needed to make the decisions, Alex was always clear with his advice about pricing. It was great working with Alex…on both the purchase and the sale.
