At our first meeting (several months before the auction) Jeff said: "I'm putting a ring around $1.8m". At the time this seemed quite ambitious. We then began a rapid campaign of getting our house and garden to a state that would deliver that number. Fortunately for us, the market was also rising. He's a busy guy, but Jeff was great at explaining the reasons behind his strategy and had our agreement at each stage. He stuck to his guns on a few expensive but important improvements (painting the bricks and tiled roof). We grudgingly agreed at first and the investment paid off. In the end we got slightly more than the $1.8 - selling for $1.825m.

From the outset Jeff impressed me with his communication skills, advice and marketing strategy. There was little time to effect the sale before Christmas which meant a great deal of effort from all concerned. The home sold prior to auction with Jeff keeping me well informed about the negotiating behind the scenes. And, I am more than happy with the result.

I'm quite conservative by nature and I take a while to build trust especially with people in the sales industry. I interviewed several agents, however I could tell immediately that Jeff was the real deal - what you see is what you get. I knew quite a bit of the local market in Beacon Hill and Jeff really impressed with what he brought to the table. He was involved with 3 other home sales in the street within the previous year and had very detailed and current knowledge of the market. Jeff is patient and explained things in detail. He is honest and tells the home truths up front - weather it be about your house styling, upsides and downsides of your property and even on the property value estimate. These are all good points because you need to be in the right head space before embarking on a sale. When we pulled the trigger, he immediately set in to action the essential minimal restyling which was required, arranged photos etc. It took me a while to let go and he reassured me several times he knew what he was doing and of course he was absolutely right. I really wanted to be kept updated on the progress and he certainly did that for me as well with regular catch ups. My property was an off market sale and sold within about 2 weeks. Several offers up front and he spent most of that time working to get the highest price for my property and in the end was almost identical to the estimate he provided at the beginning - so he was bang on. Not only that - 6 months on and Jeff is still in touch and assisting with advise and tactics on several different homes we've been interested in buying. Thanks so much Jeff, well done and I'll definitely be using him again in the future!

Jeff was wonderful to deal with. Really transparent and clearly worked hard for all parties involved.

Jeff is a fantastic agent, he is very quick to respond to any requests and follows up with any queries. We will be selling our property in January and will ensure Jeff is our selling agent

friendly and reliable, honest. Make pressure less go through the most stressful period

I sold my 2 property through Emma and Jeff. They are honest and reliable. Successfully sold my 2 property with a good price. Definitely will recommend all my family and friends.

We bought our new house in Beacon Hill and sold our old apartment in Dee Why through Jeff. He is the epitome of professional with great local knowledge, and made us feel cared for throughout. Jeff was easy to contact, and we would love to work with he again.... except we don't plan on moving any time soon!

He knowledge helped ensure that there was minimal stress involved. A quick sale and a 30-day settlement were nothing less than impressive. I have also purchased through Jeff and the process was equally efficient then.

I have experienced many real estate transactions and have been very impressed by Jeff Johnson. Jeff made the whole experience as painless and seamless as possible. His explanation of the process was thorough and his communication throughout was timely and immediate which is important to me. His advice in terms of styling and prep of the property was very valuable and indeed resulted in an above expected price. He was professional throughout and his handling of all potential buyers was great. I felt in good hands. On auction day Jeff nursed us through the auction process and his advice to pass the property in while nerve wracking was on the money. He very quickly negotiated one on one with the buyer pushing the price up an additional $50k in 10 mins. The overall result was $100k over our expectation so suffice to say we were delighted. We will engage Jeff for any future sales and woud highly recommend him to any other potential vendors.

Jeff is a star. We found him to be very knowledgeable and up to speed with the current market. He was with us every step of the way, discussing and answering any questions or concerns we had, in a timely manner. He worked tirelessly with us and for us, and achieved excellent results. We are very happy with his service and would highly recommend him to any other prospective vendor.
