Over the past few months I have been looking for a property in south east Queensland. In dealing with salesmen from different organisations I was put off by their arrogant and pushy manner. They wrongly assessed me as not a potential buyer as I live in Darwin and was making inquiries over the phone. Most did not do their homework on the properties that they were selling, they were unable or willing to answer my simplest questions. One such property that I wanted to buy was one I walked away from solely from the attitude of the salesman. My philosophy is that the salesman must sell himself before he can sell a product. On contact with Ray White in Redland bay I was pleased with the initial communication with Jesse Van Nek and my assessment was that he was a person that I could work with in the difficult purchase of a property unseen and over the phone. Jesse is a great communicator always helpful, giving me information that I needed to know even before I knew I needed it myself. He helped with the difficult stage of my negotiations on price and the buying process of buying remotely. I have bought the property in Redland Bay, and very pleased with the process and outcome. I am 85 years old now and I do tend to rabbet on, Jesse never cut me short. In short, he is a what we used to call a Gentleman. I have no hesitation in recommending Ray White, Redland bay team to my family and friends.
Jesse's reviews
I bought a house at auction, which was fine. Whilst signing docs, was asked by Jesse to take over the chattels also (there was sooo much stuff from the elderly former owners). I agreed, and Jesse offered to help with auctioning the stuff off with proceeds to charity. So far so good. About a week later I went to inspect the house and get a better understanding of the number and quality of the chattels, telling Jesse that I was going to get someone to look at them and appraise. I also mentioned that my wife has her eyes on a couple of pieces. Still 20 days to settlement at this point. My next visit was the day of settlement, and to my shock most all of the china and items of value were gone, TV, Fridges, Washing Machine, Tools, China Collection, etc. All that was left was the stuff with no value. At no point was I contacted for permission or even a heads-up (Jesse thought I wanted the stuff gone before settlement but never thought to ask or check in). Hence, we lose. We did not choose the charity who benefited, and insult to injury they were under time pressure (they were given five days to take what they wanted) so they contacted an antiques guy who offered $400 for the extensive amount of stuff he wanted, and there was lots of it, all in as-new condition that would have sold for much more, thus more for charity. What should have happened is Jesse call me to let me know what he was up to, and I would have avoided the whole sorry mess. Nobody benefits from this collossal clusterf@#$% except the antiques dealer who got a screaming bargain. Even the charity only got $900 total for the houehold contents, and I now have a disposal bill to get rid of the junk that nobody wants. That said, I'm happy to have bought the house and the straight real estate side of the deal was uncomplicated and Jesse put me onto a good property for my circumstances.

He made our family feel very comfortable with our decision to choose Jesse as our agent.
Jesse VN and the team were so easy to work with. Nothing was too difficult and everything was made easy. Highly recommend Jesse as an agent kept me informed all the way to the end and very happy with the result. Thank you again.
Jesse is an experienced young man who is knowledgeable in the selling and buying process. Never buying in Queensland before, Jesse made it seamless, explaining every little detail along the way. I have experienced dealings with Ray White in the past and not in a positive way, so I was sceptical! How pleasant that my fears disappeared when dealing with Jesse and the Redland Bay Ray White. If you are selling or buying a house in the area, I couldn't recommend Jesse more highly. Thank you to all!
Both Jesse and Jesse were a pleasure to deal with as a buyer. They were approachable and very competent and prompt in negotiating the terms to the sellers which resulted in a speedy sale. I trust their professionalism and would highly recommend the team to anyone searching for the best agent in town.
