I would like to thank John Galea for the successful sale of my home. From the beginning John was honest and accurate with his valuation and thorough and transparent with his explanations of the process I was about to undertake. His amiable and genuine manner puts you at ease right away during a time which can be quite stressful. Johns integrity,diligence and knowledge of his profession is very evident. With continual updates and reports of inspections and follow-ups I know exactly what was going on the whole time. This gave me confidence in a positive outcome which was achieved! He also utilised his network of colleagues, including maintenance(Rob) who was so helpful and professional in preparing the house for auction. John made the whole experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible. I would definitely sell or buy a house through John in the future without hesitation, and recommend him most highly to anyone else doing the same. An absolute gentleman and the hardest working agent in the west. Thank you John.

Thank you John for your Professional approach and untiring efforts in regard to the sale of this property, much appreciated. Julie.

John listened, had the right strategy to suit our circumstances and helped ensure our property was well presented and successfully sold on auction day.

John , we thank you for your sincerity, honesty and hard work on a unique and sometimes stressful sale , for us all.You were so understanding of mums situation and treated her with much care which was truley appreciated. We would highly recommend your services.

First time purchase and the whole thought of buying at auction was daunting. John was really tansperant throughout the whole process and provided timely advice and realistic expectations of what to expect on the day. The whole experience was not as overwhelming as I had thought and John was a pleasure to work with.

We first met and worked with John when we were buying a home and we were very pleased with how he handled everything involved in that sale that when it came time to sell we knew we only wanted to work with John. He is professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease during the somewhat stressful process of selling your home. He listened to our expectations and our requirements and set out the best possible marketing strategy. We felt completely comfortable leaving this in his experienced and capable hands. The communication from John throughout the campaign was fantastic, he was always quick to update us on feedback from the opens and the potential buyers for our home. We appreciate all the work that John and the Jas Stephens team did to sell our home at auction and achieve a sales price we are very pleased with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John Galea to any of our friends and family. Thanks again. Jodie and Mark

I first met John in 2012 when I was looking for a property and he helped me out tremendously to find an amazing place that I purchased and held onto for nearly 6 years. I have recently sold that property through John again and he again achieved a quick no stress sale. It’s been a pleasure getting to know John over the years and we have become friends during this period. I would recommend John without any hesitation to any potential buyer/seller in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

Wow what a Journey the last 6 weeks has been, we struggled to find an agent after our last experience selling which was an absolute disaster, so all trust and faith had disappeared, until along came John from Jas Stephens. John's background probably got him the gig for us and boy he didnt disappoint, this man is dedicated to the cause 110% he sold our home like it was his own, nothing was too much and he kept us informed throughout the whole process. Honestly if you want to sell your house then this guy is the man. John again from Fee and myself we cannot thank you enough, you know the problems we faced before with our previous agent and you knew how difficult it was going to be to help give us at that faith back. I would be more than happy to speak to any of your potential vendors personally to give you the thumbs up!! thanks again mate it was an absolute pleasure.

We engaged John to sell our home because we believed he would be straightforward and trustworthy in his advice, as well as having very strong experience in the local market. We also felt that he understood our approach to the sale and would work well with us. We were not disappointed. John was extremely generous with information and advice at every stage, without once being pushy. We even looked to him as a sounding board when considering properties to purchase through other agencies. John was always happy to take a call and gave a considered, appropriate response every time, backed up by both his practical experience and an obvious commitment to keeping up with research and trends in the industry. When it came to the campaign and sale for our home, John gave useful feedback and plenty of it prior to opening and after each open. He was informative about our prospects and thorough in following up leads with potential buyers. Communication was always timely and complete. The sale was a nerve wracking process but we had faith that John was doing everything that could be done to attract buyers. The extra touches that John ensured - from the flowers to the coffee cart on auction day - were a testament to the care he took with our sale. The fact we achieved a price above our expectations and sold directly at auction is further evidence that we made the right choice. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John Galea as an agent, and while we're in no hurry to go through another sale soon, we'd relish the prospect of working again with this lovely, generous, hard working professional.

Thank you so much John for the very impressive sale of our property. Your initial evaluation was spot on with our record result proving your knowledge of the area. You won our trust with your polite yet very professional demeanour. Will definitely recommend your services.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending John Galea from JAS Stephens to anyone selling their property. John worked very hard to achieve a fantastic result for our property. He clearly laid out a sales strategy and kept us up to date along the way. The level of transparency was beyond what we expected, John provided reports of all communications with potential buyers meaning we had an up to date assessment of interest in our property at all times. I've heard John described as "the hardest working agent in the west" and my husband and I definitely agree with that after seeing the amount of work he put in. He provided valuable advice along the way and was a pleasure to deal with at all times.

John Galea is a wise and wonderful agent. His generous advice secured us our new home for a very reasonable price and when it came to the mad rush to sell our own home, it would have been impossible to do without him. John guided us through the maze of solicitors, banks (!), mortgage brokers, decorators and painters so that, unbelievably, we were ready to go on the market right on schedule. His diligence prior to auction was evident in the thorough and utterly honest reports we got on all open houses. He followed up interest and offered evaluations to potential buyers, gave us clear and comprehensive buyer feedback and worked long and late (go home to your family John!!) to ensure we got the best result. We so trusted John that we were comfortable with the auction going ahead with one of us overseas. The auction was a joy to behold with Craig Stephens holding the floor with charisma and the easy authority of years of experience, whilst John supported the whole process with his knowledge of the buyers and property and we were so delighted with the outcome. John made selling our family home a pleasure (nerve-racking as such things are) and we learned so much. He is funny, forthright, open and just full of integrity and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
