Jason has a certain way about him, no need for fluff, just tell it how it is. He gives you a realistic expectation of the market, genuine tips to help improve the chances, and that worked for us. Great auctioneer and marketing campaign strategies.
Jason took time to build a relationship and understand our needs. He went out of his way to engage and was open to frank and direct conversations. Empowered with clear objectives he went about finding the most likely candidates for purchase. It was an exceptional response to a specific requirement. I can fully recommend Jason if you're looking for a determined partner.
It had been about 10 years since Jason sold my last home but when it came time to sell my elderly parents home, I immediately thought of Jason and was very happy to see he was still a very successful and high profile local agent. I had 2 other marketing appraisals for the home but for me, Jason was the most professional, calm and friendly agent with a great feel for both the market but also for our families requirements. Jason is a straight talker who says it like it is and doesn't even try to buy the listing. His marketing strategies, presentation hints and market knowledge was 2nd to none. The month of marketing, until auction went quickly with very good attendances at 'open homes' and consistent verbal and written reporting. A day or 2 prior to the Auction day, Jason had a short list of qualified buyers of which he identified his thoughts on who the purchaser would be. Although the house didn't sell under the hammer, within 15 minutes Jason secured a fantastic result at $25K above our reserve price to his identified buyers. Jason was nothing short of magnificent with his calmness and professional negotiating skills, encouraging the purchasers out of $75,000 more than their top bid. Even though he knew our reserve, he didn't stop once he had the purchasers at that price. but continued negotiations with them. In closing my family and myself could not recommend Jason, Dean and Hodges Real Estate highly enough. Thank you Jason again on a fantastic result .Laurel Glenn
Jason's smart advice was very important for me to make the right decisions and understand the level of renovations required to present the property in the best possible way. He gave realistic and constant feedback on the market position which was critical in achieving a very successful end result. His positivity was inspiring to maintain focus on the end goal and I appreciated his clear and consise communication which was greatly acknowledged. I highly recommend Jason and Hodges as the agent of choice. Congratulations and well done!
Two weeks after my sale at auction and reviewing recent comparable house sales in the area I am happy to report Jason C. Swift Hodges Mentone definitely puts in the effort that you dream about in an agent. He didn't stop at the reserve which was high, and his expertise as an auctioneer brought in those extra dollars so crucial to my needs. Jason listened and delivered. A true professional and a passionate real estate advocate! Highly Recommended!
Jason is honest, reliable and realistic. Great communication and kept me updated throughout the campaign. Professional and definitely knows his trade with continual support from start to finish ... even with assisting me with finding my new home! Whether you are a purchaser or vendor, or even seeking 2nd opinion or advice, I would not hesitate recommending Jason and his friendly team.
Selling my mother’s family home of 30 years was always going to be a big emotional and logistical challenge. We live 300 km away. Jason made the whole process very straightforward and kept stress to a minimum, with useful advice regarding preparation options and regular detailed reporting throughout the campaign. At the end of the day we had a very exciting auction and the best possible outcome. Jason and his team were all very professional, enthusiastic and friendly. I’d recommend them. Dr Denise Ruth.
After interviewing multiple agents, we chose Jason for our campaign based on great reviews of his expertise from friends and we are so glad we did. Selling in a shaky market, Jason was always extremely communicative, often calling us daily when he had news. We felt extremely reassured about the process as he was honest and transparent the whole way through. On the day of the sale, Jason ran an absolute master class in auctioning and we got a ripper price.
Jason was always available and kept me constantly updated on the prgress of the sale. He negotiated hard with the purchaser to acheive a great outcome for me! His fees were very competitive, highly recommend
I cannot recommend Jason Swift highly enough. Jason is the most professional real estate agent I have ever dealt with. It is wonderful to engage an agent who acts 100% on behalf of his vendor and has a great rapport with purchasers, does what he says he will do, provides regular feedback ( a hand written note from Jason left for me following Open for Inspections with information on potential buyers - I've never had that before). Jason is extremely well presented, knowledgeable, friendly, an excellent communicator and once I signed up with Jason Swift and Hodges Mentone, I could actually sit back and enjoy the sale process ( another first for me). And he achieved a fantastic result for me at Auction. I am so glad I engaged Jason, and his wonderful team, to sell my home.
