John was very professional and helpful with the fast sale of our house. As we live interstate he went out of his way to do so much more for us to make the sale run smoothly. We would certainly use John again to buy or sell on the Northern Beaches.

John is always positive but realistic - which is exactly what you need from a real estate agent. He kept me constantly updated with honest feedback and in the end delivered a sale that far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to sell on the Northern Beaches - his market knowledge is superior to any agent I've met previously.

Thank you John, It was a pleasure doing business with you & your team. You have undoubtedly changed our opinion of dealing with real estate agents & would recommend you highly to anybody looking for an agent, your honesty & integrity is appreciated. Thanks again, Dan & Jen

Hi John, Thanks for your patience and understanding. It took us a while to finally make the decision to sell but you always offered sound advice and you did not pressure us. When it came to the selling, you did exactly what you said you would do and you kept us informed all the way resulting in an almost instant sale and at a very good price. Thank you.

John was always very helpful in assisting with gaining access to view the property outside of inspection times. He added valuable insight into other sales he had made for vendors in this same complex.

Having always been skeptical about Real Estate Agents it was such a nice surprise to deal with John. Honest, open and always keeping the communication channels open, he achieved an outstanding result for us. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down to earth guy who has the owners interest at heart.

I recently sold through John and achieved a wonderful result, he worked tirelessly and was always on hand to answer questions and explain everything throughout the whole campaign. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John, his knowledge of the local area is unparalleled and this shows in the great results he achieves.

After over 12months of failed bids and lost opportunities, my partner and I were finally able to purchase our first home. Our dealings with Drake Real Estate were second to none. John made the experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible. His knowledge of the market and the ongoing transparent communication meant we knew exactly where we stood at all times. John and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with and I would personally recommend his services to family and friends.

Our property was aways going to be a challenge to sell because of its age and the steep slope the house is built on. We appreciate John's patience and perseverance but most of all his imperturbable professionalism. Despite the setbacks he remained determined to continue on his mission of selling our property and achieving the best possible outcome. And he did! We are happy to talk to any future clients who need reassurance to sign an exclusive with John

As someone that has dealt with many agents as both my wife and I have traded in real estate frequently in the past, John sets a standard in integrity, clarity and transparency. Having dealt with him on two separate occasions, confirmed that his ethos and commitment to both buyers and sellers is second to none. Thanks John for everything you have done during our purchase process, and would like to wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone without hesitation!

We found John to have credibility and great negotiation skills with buyers together with an excellent knowledge as to market trends.These trends were always communicated to us via email, phone and in person. John achieved a record price for our 3 bedroom brick home in Elanora Heights. We have no hesitation in recommending John Drake Real Estate. Neville and Margaret Carlos

From the outset John was helpful and friendly, honest and realistic, all qualities I appreciated in this scenario. John made the prep, the Opens and the negotiation phases all very doable and built trust well. I felt at ease and when the negotiation phase heated up I felt that I could rely on his experience and professionalism. John was very kind with his explanations of various processes and extremely patient.
