Jeff was direct, brutally honest knew exactly what needed to happen to maximize the price of my property. With a short campaign we got the price we expected. I would be happy to reccomend Jeff and the team at Upstate
Jeff knows northern beach suburbs very well. He provided good off-market opportunities for us. He was very helpful throughout the process of purchasing.
Jeff has an extensive knowledge of the market and is fully committed to his clients. Jeff guided us through renovating our house for sale, not only organising trades for kitchen, bathroom, carpet and painting, but also bringing us samples of carpet, cupboard, benches etc. for us to review. He had a very clear vision of how the house should be presented for sale and made sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the whole process. Jeff’s boundless energy, passion, genuine care and desire to deliver outstanding service and advice is why we have no hesitation in recommending him. We felt we were in a partnership and working together for the same goal. Thank you Jeff
Jeff’s solid database resulted in us selling after just two open houses. We had set Jeff a high target; one which we thought was unachievable. However Jeff’s negotiation skills proved us wrong and we sold for what we wanted very quickly. Jeff’s friendly demeanour has meant we have gained a friend as well as a top real estate agent!
Jeff was easy going & a good communicator. Just what you need when buying a property
Jeff was a great agent. From day 1, I was trying to get him to lower the price and due to his knowledge, he was very honest and professional about what the price would be come auction and what price would seal the deal prior to auction. Throughout the campaign, Jeff kept me up to date with other interested parties and at auction made us feel completely comfortable which we ended up securing the property we wanted at the price Jeff said he would’ve sold it to us at the start of the campaign. Morale of the story, Jeff is a great agent with superior knowledge of areas and had I listen, would’ve saved us a few weeks. Definitely would use Jeff for a sale in the future, was great fun buying off him, it’ll be better selling with him.
After having a really bad experience with another agent on the sale of another property, we needed an agent who was able to regain our faith in the profession. The timing of our sale was further complicated by unpredictable and potentially soft COVID-19 selling conditions. After a short but well qualified search. We chose Jeff for his knowledge, his outlook and very honest appraisal of market conditions and our where our property sat within it. Indeed, his initial feedback was so honest, he urged us to delay putting the property on the market for a month or so until market conditions of first wave of COVID-19 could be better assessed. This is where most agents don't care and would just want our property marketed as fast as possible. After receiving such direct and honest advice, Jeff was our chosen man. Jeff is a very honest, open and trustworthy agent who is highly engaging, attentive and always does what he says he will, and usually with energy, humour and a smile. He has a no-nonsense approach and tries to deal in facts and feedback to qualify and get insights on the right buyers, filtering out the time wasters in a rigorous manner. Jeff marketed the property well using a good mix of both conventional and contemporary digital media approaches to get us 4 times (4x) the amount of foot traffic through our property than previous agents had done in a house situated right next door. Getting good foot traffic is critical and he did it resoundingly well. He followed up regularly with potential buyers to get insights and deal with any minor objections and perspectives, and updated us regularly and timely (either in person, via phone, text or email as was appropriate) and in the end got us a good price for our property in difficult market conditions and in the range where we were very happy to sell. It wasn't easy but he did the job well, and I will use him again as my selling agent in the future if/ when I sell again.
Our personal contact with Jeff has always been a pleasure and we can recommend his services very highly.
Working with Jeff was a breath of fresh air in comparison to other real estate agents. He was honest and open about the property, sellers situations and number of other buyers involved. He also had great knowledge of the area to help inform our decisions. He even made a special trip over to let us view the property an extra time. Communication was speedy, clear and easy. We enjoyed working with Jeff and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for property on the north shore.
I had an extremely positive purchasing experience with Jeff. Jeff took the time to discuss at great length the property I was interested in which I found was both personable and genuine. Arranging additional times for viewing made me feel well supported and was reassuring. This gave me the confidence to make a favourable decision moving forward with the property which I then proceeded to purchase at auction. Many thanks Jeff for helping make my purchase a successful one!
Jeff Johnson has a passion for real estate and is an honest and professional communicator with people. Throughout the process of selling our house Jeff was always available to talk to, he thought carefully about selling strategies and never stopped working until we sold. He advised us while we were renovating the house, long before we were ready to sell and, now that we've sold, continues to advise us on our next purchase. He is generous, friendly and genuine. We would recommend him as an agent.
Jeff takes the time to understand a buyers’ needs and preferences. He is able to connect a buyer with the right property. He called me to let me know when my kind of home was on the market and he instinctively knew it was for me ( and I purchased it). Jeff is genuine in his approach, tells it as it is, and super responsive to calls, questions and queries. Plus he can balance being easy going and professional.
