I recently purchased my new home through John and Carlos at JAS Stephens and had a fantastic experience throughout the entire process. Both were friendly, professional, approachable and responsive, and always happy to answer my questions and provide information along the way. As this was my first time bidding at an auction, I particularly appreciated John taking the time beforehand to explain the process and give me some helpful advice, which made the experience feel much less daunting. Carlos was also fantastic during the inspections and in the lead-up to auction day, and both made what could have been a very stressful process feel positive and exciting. I’m absolutely thrilled with my new home and very grateful to John, Carlos and the team at JAS Stephens for helping make it happen. Highly recommend!

John had the expertise and vision needed to get a great result. He is very committed to his craft and provides suggestions to enhance the outcome. I am so grateful that he had my back in every part of the campaign. I fully trusted his judgement on the sale and in the end he didn't disappoint. He is personable, very professional, has outstanding knowledge of his craft and I would recommend him to anyone who would want some one as dedicated as John.

I bought a villa unit in South Kingsville through John as an investment purchase. He was easy to deal with from the first inspection through to signing, and quick to come back with answers whenever I had questions. John chased down the details I needed for my due diligence rather than leaving me to work it out, and kept things moving on his side. After the contract he also arranged for me to advertise for a tenant early, with opens before settlement, which saved me weeks of vacancy. Small thing for an agent to do, but it made a real difference. Happy to recommend him

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with the service. John was friendly, professional and made the whole process very easy and smooth. Communication was excellent, and everything was handled efficiently. Highly recommended!

John was always easy to talk to and was a great listener . There was never any hard sell or pressure during the process. Truly knowledgeable of the area and the present market. His professionalism was outstanding and easy going I highly recommend him as an agent to anyone, and I would use him again in a heartbeat. He has a unique gift of being a great agent and a genuinely nice guy.

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.

We have worked with John on two occasions and each time he was great to deal with - clear and honest communication- worked hard and we felt in safe hands. Would highly recommend.

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!

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.

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.

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.

John took the time to help us understand our options when selling and worked hard to secure a pre market sale which we were happy with. He communicated often and consistently in a way that suited our availability.
