I bought this property through Joe and selling through Joe. I could had gone to someone else but NO. Why, I went to Joe only. The main reason is that he is trust worthy, honest and very straight forward in his dealing with the clients and customers as I was a customer and client both. I SHALL strongly recommend JOE who is very straight forward and knows what he is talking.
Slow start but really happy with the end result. Gem was great! Gem was professional, respectful, listened and kept us well Informed. We put a lot of trust in these agents in return just want them to genuinely do their best for us and our property. I believe Gem got us there in the end.
Joe was really professional and went above and beyond to make the sale work in a relatively slow market. The end result was good and would not hesitate in recommending him to friends and family.
Joe provided a professional experience, was passionate about his work and gave us confidence he was the right man for the job. He acheieved a great result for us, so we were very happy and would not hesitate in referring friends and family to him.
While the outcome was positive, and Joe's team are good at their job especially with the marketing aspect, I felt that the agency should have been more realistic about the state of the market at the start, and how they didn't actually have "immediate buyers" as alluded to in some of their agency's mailbox letter drops around the neighbourhoood. Certainly we did not ever encounter any of the "premium price" buyers. In fact the team even distributed a letter into my mailbox about the sale of this very property which had some untrue claims about selling above seller expectations. We entered into an agent contract with false hope of a certain speed of sale and a high level of market demand, but in the end it took 4 weeks of open inspections to find a barely satisfactory offer, which was slightly disappointing, and caused some personal complications. However, if you ignore the initial pitch their agency puts out to potential sellers, and just needed someone to help manage the sale process, Joe and Rebecca is a very competent agent. Just have realistic expectations about the market going in, and take their mailbox letters with a grain of salt.
Had a great buying experience with Joe. Would highly recommend.
I recently purchased an apartment in Kingsford on behalf of my client from Joe Recep. Joes knowledge of the local area, his straight advice on what to spend on the renovations and in what order of priority, recent comparable sales and how they compare with the property he was selling was excellent. Through the negotiations, Joe was very straight forward, responded in a very timely manner, and did everything he said he was going to do. Something some selling agents sadly lack. Joe, and his colleague Rebecca are a credit to the industry, and show the professionalism and integrity that the buyers would hope to expect, but often don't receive. Thankyou Joe, it was a pleasure dealing with you, and I look forward to bringing many more clients along to your properties for sale and doing future business with you.
Joe Recep was great in understanding and responding to the enormity of selling my parent's family home of over 40 years. Making this sale a positive experience for my parents was a key factor in choosing Joe for the job. His approach and communication (and that of his team) was fantastic. Joe kept us all informed at all times, was fully aware of the market and its movements and we felt confident in his knowledge and experience at the time important decisions needed to be made. I would highly recommend Joe and his team and thank them for their continued efforts post-sale as the settlement date approaches.
Joe Recep is the ultimate professional and if you're looking for a real estate agent that goes the extra mile to get results, look no further. Joe sold our terrace prior to auction, achieving a price that surpassed our expectations. Who says that selling a property is stressful? Not in our case – Joe guided us through the entire process and it was a fantastic experience. We have no hesitation in recommending him. With Joe by your side, you're in good hands!
I dont often do reveiws but I'll make an exception in this case as i was impressed with the job Joe and Tara had done. Joe and Tara sold my duplex at 19 George st Eastlakes. As a builder/developer I get to deal with agents both at purchase and at the sale of my property's, so I know a good agent when I encounter one. Joe was spot on with his valuation and for better or worse told me his honest opinion throughout the selling process. The properties were very well marketed, there was always a good turn up at open house .....even on a Thursday. All potential purchasers were contacted afterwoods (not just name and number takers). I got a record price for a duplex in Eastlakes. What else can I say! Thanks Joe and Tara for your professionalism and hard work.
