Joe and Tara are a fabulous team. From the start they assisted me by organising painters for my unit. I trusted in Joe’s experience and took his advice when it counted. The result my unit sold. A big thank you to you both!
We selected Joe from a handful of agents for the sale of our property. We signed an agency agreement and then he organised painting, electrical repairs and cleaning. He also arranged the stylist . We achieved an impressive turnaround to have property listed the following week. Over the 4 week campaign Joe provided us updates on WhatsApp. In the end, Joe proved himself to be an exceptional negotiator and got us an extraordinary result. We commend Joe and have no hesitation in recommending him.
I recently enlisted Joe and his team to sell my property. Being a first time seller , I was very nervous with the daunting task that lay ahead, however Joe's extensive knowledge of the area and of the current market completely put my mind at ease. His professionalism in the quick turn around of marketing, opens and the auction made way for a very successful sale. He completely took the stress out of it. I would highly recommend Joe and his team.
Don’t choose Joe Recep/NG Farah to sell your property - I had the misfortune of being represented by them for the sale of a house that belongs to my parents, and the experience took a huge toll on me. I don't take any pleasure writing this, especially as someone in the market for a property myself and therefore likely to deal with the company in question. However, transparency and honest reviews are important. If I had listened to Joe, I’d have sold the house for at least $100,000 less than the final sale price - this is enough of a reason to look elsewhere! I had two critical problems: 1) lack of responsiveness, 2) a manufactured sense of urgency/catastrophe that was used to make a case for reducing asking price. I communicated an irreconcilable loss of trust to NG Farah management, and I have documentation that exhibits acknowledgement of wrongdoing. I trust easily, in the agent and in the process - I wasn't burdensome as a client, taking only a couple of minutes or a text per week to be updated. But it began with Joe not answering a text message, and subsequent attempts by phone/text to reach him (he answered on two occasions and told me he'd call me back...not that he was away from the office...or sick...but that'd he call me back, which he didn't!) - I'm still confused by this "ghosting." Professionalism entails either reaching out, or having your admin or assistant do so to notify that you're away, to assure that someone else is still performing tasks that equal to a $~30K job. I was horrified, I still am. Once I threatened to pull out of the arrangement with Joe's assistant Rebecca and other NG Farah management (Adrian and Peter), and they therefore stood to lose the *whole* commission, a buyer came along, and without any fuss at all, offered exactly what I was asking for (a reasonable price based on the valuations of many agents), and so we proceeded with the sale based on reduced commission and marketing rates. Find someone that's honest.
Joe knew what he was doing - knowledgeable on the area concerned and achieved a great result
Joe and his team were referred to me by my sister, after managing the successful sale of her unit in 2019. As a first time seller, I put my trust in Joe’s advice and knowledge of the market, when deciding the best approach for me. Everything from the marketing, to the open house, to the sale, was managed quickly and professionally, while always keeping me informed. His excellent negotiation skills resulted in a great price, exceeding expectations, making one happy customer! Highly recommended.
We sold our property through NG Farah in the middle of COVID 19 pandemic and within less than a month it sold for very great price. Huge thank you to Joe and his team for his work and we couldn’t be more happier. I would strongly recommend NG Farah for their service and professionalisms.
We had our property at Mascot on the market with a local agent for over 6 months, they couldn't find a suitable buyer, each time was due to change of agent, market condition or any other reasons. Joe helped us previously with Randwick properties, within 1 week given the property to Joe, he has find a buyer with a better offer. Not only that, Joe listed property on premium listing and applied 3D floor plan and furniture, he understands how frustrating we were and went extra mile to help us. We appreciate of his professionalism, efficiency and result driven work ethic. Thank you Joe, it has been great to have you as our agent.
It hasn't been easy to sell in the current environment however the in-depth knowledge and experience of Joe and Rebecca has certainly helped and made the entire process a lot easier. Thank you :)
This is my second property sale, and I have used Joe both times as he did such a great job with the first. Just like the first time Joe did a superb job. He secured me a quick sale in a slow market. The price was within the range I hoped for.
