John was very professional, keeping me in the loop with the impending auction of our family home. John was approachable and in tune with the sadness that came with the selling of my mother and father’s home. It was our home for all our lives and a place of happiness and much love. With much appreciation and regard I thank you John. Rita Del Medico.
It is our immense pleasure to recommend John Costanzo to any individual or family looking for a real estate agent with the experience and commitment to get the best result, either for the vendor or buyer. From the outset, John's approach instilled us with confidence. He explained the process clearly and succinctly, and kept us informed every step of the way. There was a measured, unflustered, and yet quite robust manner in the way he approached the sale of our house. He was realistic in his sales strategy and we never felt pressured to accept anything that we did not feel 100% comfortable with. He knew the potential of our house given his knowledge of the area. After all, this was where he grew up, giving him the unique insight needed to understand this ever expanding market and develop the skills that would lead him to become one of the area's most successful agent. John is the master of the art of what I call "understated negotiation". By this I mean his ability to extract the best possible price from reluctant or conservative buyers with his non-adversarial approach. He doesn't bully or cajole, rather strives for what both parties see as a win-win, the best of all possible outcomes for both. Without his experience, knowledge and guidance, we would not have achieved the outcome that we achieved on the day of the auction. Well done John! Thus we have no hesitation in recommending John as the preferred agent to sell your most important possession, your family home.
John was entrusted to sell our property in Carton North. He is down to earth and has many years experience and in depth knowledge about the inner Northern suburbs. His advice on the sale price of our property was realistic and accurate. This helped secure a good result on auction day. We highly recommend him to prospective vendors.
I have both bought and sold a property with John as the vendor’s agent . His local knowledge of the current and future market is impressive. He knows how to be active and vigorous without being pushy. I recommend him for any property in his area of expertise.
John has excellent local knowledge developed over many years specialising in this area. His communication before and after open houses was very good and he was always available to be contacted at any time. Whilst my property didn’t sell on auction day he was very persistent afterwards chasing up any potential buyers, as such the property sold only a few weeks after the auction.
Gave us good advice and kept us well informed. Managed open inspections etc smoothly.
John was an excellent agent to work with. He was professional, personable and conscientious throughout the process. We were in the market for quite some time, and in the process of looking for a property became very frustrated with the sales tactics that some agents use when selling a property. John was a breath of fresh air in this regard. He was very honest and we felt very confident that we were appropriately informed during the process. After closing the deal, we found John to be very helpful in guiding us through the next steps. We recommend John's services to anyone looking to sell.
John was helpful, responsive, and mediated a satisfactory settlement between ourselves and the vendor. A positive and straightforward experience from a buyer's perspective.
We were very appreciative of John's up front, professional and honest approach when dealing with him. He was always available to discuss options and to offer more viewings of the property that we eventually bought. Of course we bought the property because it ticked all our boxes but it was definitely assisted with dealing with John. Truly a gentleman that enjoys what he does and does it well.
From the outset John provided us his wealth of knowledge and experience in preparing and putting the property on the market. John personally attended every open inspection and provided us a summary immediately after every inspection. John met the tenants and prepared them for the process they were going to experience including setting an expectation in providing the property in a neat and tidy state before each open inspection including auction day. Before the auction John met with us and stepped through the entire auction process on the day of sale (which we have never experienced before) and discussed all scenarios that may potentially materialise. On auction day John delivered us a result that exceeded our expectation.
From beginning to end John was a pleasure to work with. He was friendly, honest and professional at all times during our the sale of our property. He was efficient and patient and always willing to accommodate our requests and answered our questions in full. John has great knowledge of the area and had a good understanding of the market and we got the outcome we outlined on our first meeting.
From the start of the sales campaign, John was informative, had a good understanding of the market, and provided valuable feedback from his interactions with prospective purchasers.
