I found Joel likeable and knowledgable from the start, with good communication skills. He had the successfull buyer within a week. Although the buyer presented a few complictions, Joel was able to negotiate the sale through to finalization. I consider him to be very professional and would not hesitate to use him again.
We recently sold our home with the help of our fabulous agent Joel Albrechtsen. Joel came to our initial meeting very well prepared and we liked that although he was not a local agent to our area we felt comfortable as he really did know what he was talking about. He worked extremely hard to get us the result we wanted and was great at communicating with us throughout the whole process. He was always so positive and made the whole process as stress free as possible. His follow up after each open was great and he was in contact with us through out the whole process. We would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking to sell their home he was wonderful!
Joel made everything about selling our townhouse in the city very easy. He came to me every time which helped with my current schedule. I would recommend Joel every time. Cheers Chris
Joel has been nothing short of amazing. His knowledge, ethics, commitment, communication, efforts and understanding of client expectations is second to none. Amazing agent, operator and professional. If there was one standout element it would be his communication - informative and consistent. I have recommended his to many people. Amy and Steven

Joel is very friendly, easy going and very enthusiastic and made us feel that he was always giving us 100%. Thankyou for all your help Joel and best of luck in the future.
Why the rating? I was considering sale versus a letting. Upon first meeting Joel I asked if this was a good time to sell our 15 year old apartment due to the threat of better quality new builds on the horizon. He was non-committal, understanding my concern and I respected that, but not inducing me to list the property solely for his own ‘commission’ interests, given that I had declared the letting option also. Price expectations, he was able to reference quickly another property that had been listed at a higher value and shared the inspections / offer data. This was critical in deciding upon a realistic sales price range. Good advice on marketing, able to manage within a given budget. Good advice and discussion on the use of a single listed price versus range. Good advice on the apartment’s presentation for sale. Fees, able to negotiate a sliding scale of fees dependent upon the realised sales price. Very quick listing, within 5 working days of agreeing the price range. Good advice on Form 1 preparation and patience in dealing with my anachronistic conveyancer. Prompt and professional follow up throughout the process, I presume this must have been the same with the prospective buyers. Two offers only, able to negotiate two higher offers (+$15k combined) from the eventual purchaser. Even handed, calm and genuine demeanour throughout, key for a sales professional. Yes we did get a positive outcome, but my opinion would have been the same if we had not found a buyer at this time. Like any property sale the key is to start with a realistic price range expectation with the client, we achieved this. And that first response ‘is it a good time to sell?’, after the event, ‘yes it is a good time to have sold your apartment’. The key distinction, there were not a lot of buyers out there for apartments that price level and that age of property. So I concluded it was a difficult time to sell, hence the Joel’s initial cautious response. A job well done
Joel was very helpful and very quick to provide further information as discussed and agreed. I would highly recommend Joel to anybody.
drove a hard sale, would certainly hire if Im selling property in future.
I found Joel to be very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend his services.
We found Joel to be very polite and helpful during the transaction of the purchase of our home and would highly recommend him to anyone considering purchasing/selling a property. We wish him every success in his chosen career.
