About John

John's countless list of delighted clients is clearly a reflection of the professionalism and persistence he applies to the challenge of helping sellers & buyers achieve their property related ambitions. Most significantly, many of John's vendors refer to their appreciation of his honesty and the fact that were dealing with a genuine person, an authentic voice rather than someone who simply engaged in scripted 'real estate speak'. Hard working, endlessly energetic, John's motivation cannot be questioned. His wife Joanne is a constant support, knowing how dedicated John is to his work. Family and friends are important to John and the experience of travelling overseas with Joanne and his grandparents is a treasured memory. A focus on providing personal help to clients through each step of the sales process is one of the keys to John's success. By building a list of delighted vendors and buyers John is also enhancing a reputation as one of the inner West's most consistent, trusted property professionals.

Excellent communicator with a wealth of knowledge

Excellent communicator with a wealth of knowledge

John was our agent for a recent campaign in Melbourne's Inner West. John showed nothing but transparency in all communications and provided in-depth assistance right from the time we contacted him 2 years ago to the sale of our property in June. We cannot say enough as to how impressed we were by him. His availability to answer questions anytime was appreciated along with up to day market information to assist us in making decisions. We made a choice to trust the process, even in a difficult time in the market and found Johns commitment to our property very re-assuring. John is one of those rare agents I feel who truly understands the market, how it is reacting and doesn't sugar coat the information allowing you time to process and question until you are comfortable with the information. I would certainly recommend John if you are looking at selling or buying.

Professional, supportive service that went above and beyond

We had a fantastic experience working with John Galea. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire sale process smooth and stress-free. We’re especially grateful for the extra guidance and support he provided while supporting us purchase our new home in another suburb - his advice and generosity with his time were greatly appreciated. Highly recommend John to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated real estate agent. Thank you again, John!

Professional and supportive

Great to work with throughout the whole process. John explained everything clearly ahead of time, gave really good advice leading into auction day, and never made me feel pressured or talked down to. I appreciated how approachable he was. During the auction he was calm, supportive, and made things feel much less intimidating. It made a stressful experience feel much more manageable. Highly recommend.

Honest, Genuine and approachable agent

Honest, Genuine and approachable agent

This is the second time I have sold a home with John Galea and he proved throughout this sale campaign why I trusted him again. He gives realistic price guides, knows the inner west market like nobody else, and provided a really thorough timeline of the sale campaign and set expectations that he clarified and checked in on throughout. He is approachable, honest, and had nothing but time to answer questions, explain the process, provide his thoughts and stopped short of providing advice - the consummate professional. He checked in with me throughout the campaign to ensure I was still comfortable, told me what I can expect at each stage, how each process would work, and was genuinely warm and friendly. I have also bought a property from John and know that he treats his buyers with the same respect, openness and honesty as he treats his vendors, and this is exactly what I would want as a vendor. I found him to be transparent in his communication, honest and responsive - what more could you ask for in an agent?! I would recommend John to anyone in the area, but particularly people who may be a bit unsure about the process - John will look after you, coach you, support you and ensure you are comfortable with the sale process.

John Galea No.1 Agent of the Inner West

John Galea No.1 Agent of the Inner West

We recently sold our modest 2 bedroom apartment in Footscray. We were amazed by the effort, hard work, skill and care which John afforded us. I have no doubt the price we recieved was not impossible but it was the most we could have hoped for and far exceeded our reserve. John's ability to create competition and handle the sale was second to none. Furthermore, he kept us completely informed throughout the campaign. We are truly grateful to John for handing the sale of our property and highly recommend him.
