From the very first meeting we had with Jay Alcock we were impressed by his enthusiasm, confidence and knowledge. Jay showed he has an intimate knowledge of our suburb and seemed excited to have the opportunity to market our property for sale. He clearly explained what was required at each step of the process and generously helped us make our property more marketable. Jay assured us that the whole sales team of First National would be helping during each open house so we were confident that all potential buyers would be contacted. The photography, drone video and advertising were really effective and generated plenty of interest. Jay kept us informed with regular reports by phone, email and personal meetings. It was obvious that Jay was working very hard and yet from our end the whole process was stress free. After the auction our choice of Jay Alcock to sell our property was more than justified. We feel we chose the best person who arranged the best advertising and auctioneer to obtain the best possible result. It was a pleasure working with such a professional as Jay.

I met Jay a few years ago and new if ever I needed to sell the house he would be my man! I never considered anyone else based in Jays communication and personability. He and Misty turned up for our Saturday opens with champagne and chocolate coated strawberries for our viewers. Perfect touch as I like people who think outside the box. A viewer came through the Friday before first opening and the next few weeks negotiations and finance pending the sale was complete... Today is a wonderful day thanks to Jay and his perseverance and on top of this he is helping us with our next house - aren't you Jay? :)

Jay is more then your typical real estate agent. He helped with the preparation of our house he even has a list of trades people who were happy to offer free advise and the ones we got to do work were all very well priced and did a really good job. He sold our house in 2 weeks and we got the price we wanted. He kept in touch everyday with news of what was happening with our sale but also the market. The sale went through smoothly and then he helped us buy another house. He even came to see them with us even though they were with other real estate agents. We have now bought our dream house and are so happy with the whole process. If you want or need an honest caring agent call jay. He is with first national at frenches forest. I'd also like to mention that the other staff there also went out of their way to help us. Really nice guys. Thanks sue and dan.

I was referred to Jay via a family friend and I couldn't have been happier with my agent selection. From the get-go, Jay's energy, enthusiasm and passion to do a great job for me shone through. His suggestions to make my place more saleable complimented the overall marketing campaign, resulting in potential buyers having nothing but good things to say about the property, which kept the campaign really positive and moving along quickly. Interest in my property was strong from day 1 of the campaign and Jay was all over it with his relaxed, positive and disarming communication style engaging with potential buyers. He kept me constantly updated during the campaign giving me confidence that the outcome would be the outstanding one that eventuated. Auction day saw strong competition from a number of parties that Jay had worked closely with getting there, resulting in a great outcome for me the seller and the now new owner of the property. I can't thank Jay enough for his efforts.

We decided to purchase a house ahead of selling our existing house. While looking at houses we "bumped" into Jay and found his manner and knowledge first rate. During the process of buying we needed some advice on our strategy to purchase. He was very supportive and approachable being available whenever we needed him. His experience came through saving us 10s of thousands on the purchase price. When it came to selling he was equally good and supportive. He always kept us up to date on progress and we had contacts signed on our house in 4 days. This was because we did what he said in preparing the house and wrapped around this a strong package of promotion under his guidance. I have recommended Jay to friends already and know he will always give them straight advise - none of this sugar coating - which is exactly how we like it and why we went with him.

We recently sold our home in French Forest with Jay Alcock. From the moment he walked into our home, he made the whole experience of selling our home so easy. He was so professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He was truly an amazing agent to deal with. He promised us the price we wanted and he followed through with ease. He went over and above to help us in selling and then to assist us in purchasing our new property. We are so proud to have dealt with such an honest and professional man. Thank you Jay Alcock. We would highly recommend Jay to anyone wanting to sell their home.

I would recommend Jay to all my friends as he wert professional and looked after me and listen to everything that I wanted. He never made me change my mind about the price but encouraged me all the way. I would recommend Jay with high estimate .

To whom it may concern, After living at 16 Woodlands Road Forestville, since 1970, we made an emotional decision to finally move from where we had raised our four children and relocate to Glenaeon Retirement Village. We chose Jay Alcock and his agency First National, having known Jay for many years and were not disappointed in the way he looked after our affairs. From the moment Jay accepted our tenure he was on hand daily to help and gave advice where necessary. He sourced contacts such as cleaners, pool painters, gardeners and stylists and bartered where necessary to ensure we received a fair price. He always returned our calls promptly and constantly kept in touch as to potential buyers, their responses and any offers, and finally negotiated to obtain an excellent price. He lent us his own personal items to use in the house display including art works at no cost. During this time Jay had a personal crisis where his father suffered a heart attack yet he still continued to look after us and no doubt his other clients. We are more than happy to give Jay a glowing referral and would without hesitation recommend him to any future clientele. Yours Faithfully Ernie & Sharyn Flint 16 Woodlands Road Forestville 2087

Professionalism and empathy. These are key characteristics of Jay Alcock. Right from the very first meeting with Jay we knew he was giving us frank and fearless advice on the property, the market and the appropriate strategy for marketing and selling our Father's home. Equally, he recognised this was not a standard Sale arrangement; as there was much heartache and emotion invested in the circumstances forcing the sale. Jay handled all of this with sensitivity and aplomb. Jay has outstanding communication skills and also demonstrates that he is a man of integrity. I have no hesitation in recommending Jay Alcock to everyone.

Jay was extremely engaged, communicative, and provided informative and timely responses to all the queries raised during the purchase of the property. He clearly understood the requirements of the seller and covered my own issues in setting up the offer. If I had been selling instead of buying, he would be my preferred agent.

Jay conducted the process efficiently and with integrity.

This was the second time we had engaged Jay to assist us with the sale of a property. On both occasions his advice and assistance in preparing the property was enormous. He participated with enthusiasm in decorating the properties. He brought an excellent photographer who could display the properties beautifully. He represented the properties to potential buyers professionally and negotiated sale prices that were the best we could hope for. I recommend Jay's services unreservedly. We plan to engage Jay again the next time we have a property to sell. Di and Wes Baker
