John was spot on with his market appraisal of our property. He kept in regular contact with us to keep us in the loop and was always available to take our calls. John went above and beyond to get us the the best deal he could. Thanks John.
John is the ultimate professional. His strength is communication and applies strong processes to ensure he had done his due diligence in getting the best results for his sellers. His warm and friendly approach is his major strength which is engaging to buyers. A hard working agent who was honest throughout the process. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
We met John as potential buyers of a property and were immediately impressed with his extremely personable manner and ability to listen to, and understand, a buyer's needs. Although we didn't buy that property, he was happy to help us in purchasing a property from another agent by giving advice on various aspects of strategy for pre-auction offers and bidding at auction. Through this process, he demonstrated to us his deep understanding of the market and a very canny understanding of strategy whilst always maintaining honesty and integrity. Having purchased at auction before putting our current house on the market, we were under considerable pressure to make a succes of selling, and throughout this process we felt that we were in great hands with John. His guidance was consistently wise, thoughtful, and took account of our particular situation. John's guidance allowed us to create a very successful selling campaign that led to achieving a result that greatly exceeded our reserve, and was certainly at the top end of what we could have expected to achieve. John offers the perfect combination of experience, honesty, hard work, and genuine warmth. We highly recommend him.
John did a fantastic job of selling our family home after mum went into Aged Care. I was especially impressed with his enthusiasm and integrity. Every word & every promise were delivered with zest. Someone we could trust is all we wanted and John delivered all the goods with a great result.
John worked for the vendor of my recent home purchase and was a real delight to deal with. This was the first property my family were all excited about in quite some time of looking, and my first auction! John guided me through the process, put me in touch with a recent purchaser for advice, and generally just made me feel more comfortable with an unfamiliar experience, all while retaining real integrity and keeping the best interests of the vendors in mind. All this meant that on the day of the auction I was firm in what I wanted and how much I was willing to spend to get it. This substantially contributed to me being the successful bidder at my first auction, and the very excited purchaser of a lovely family home! I think both the vendors and my family are extremely happy with the outcome.
We had confidence in the way John handled the sale. He worked hard from the beginning. He assisted with advice about the best consultants to get the apartment looking its best. He was always available for advice by phone or email. We were impressed with the written reports he produced after inspections and enquiries. John always gave honest assessments and never exaggerated the possible outcome of the sale. He was well-informed about government regulations which gave us further confidence that he had done his homework and that we could trust him. John has a cheerful personality which made working with him easy and comfortable. Congratulations John, you were a delight to work with.
John recently sold my house for a price well above my reserve price. He was professional, well organised, approachable for advice and feedback and extremely thorough ( he tabled a report of our campaign that was incredibly impressive and detailed). I would definitely recommend John to anyone who is considering the sale of their property.
We cannot speak more highly of John’s competence and diligence as our representative agent. From the first meeting we were fully informed about Jas Stephen’s tailored campaign strategy to sell our beloved home. John is very well informed, diplomatic and straightforward. He gave us his time generously and importantly listened to us so that he fully understood exactly what we wanted. This enabled us to tailor the campaign to suit us as well as the current market. We felt we were working together as a team. There were some unique and personally sensitive aspects in selling our home. The manner in which these were accommodated serves to underscore the absolute professionalism of John and the Jas Stephen’s team. During the campaign, it became obvious that John worked tirelessly in the background following up potential buyers and communicating to us immediately in clear concise detail the comments and requests after each open for inspection or private viewing without fear or favour. This was so helpful. John’s attention to detail was faultless. All the things that were offered were delivered perfectly and on time. It was very important to us that the buyers would love this house and garden as much as we do. We are so happy that the new owners love the home too. We are absolutely thrilled with the result all round. Thank you John!!!!! We know you did all this at a particularly stressful time for your family as our sale was right on the cusp of the arrival of your first child. We wish you and your family every happiness and success.
I was delighted that our purchase was made with the help of John. After a lengthy period of house hunting I was losing faith in the real estate industry and the integrity of the people that work in it. John's honest and forthright approach and genuine advice was really welcomed and helped us to enter our purchase knowing the commitment of the vendors and tactics to help us secure our beautiful home. John is a clear demonstration that there are agents out there who will strive for the best outcomes for their vendor whilst not compromising their attention to the potential purchasers. I will be sure to recommend John and the team at Jas Stephens, and wish John and his wife all the best with the pending arrival of their daughter. Thanks again!
John's enthusiastic and professional style made it a pleasure to work with him. His market knowledge and understanding of the sale process together with his ongoing communication and regular updates made selling our property less stressful. We are delighted with the results and have no hesitation in recommending John.
Very good knowledge of the market. Is open and honust. Takes the time to talk to you and answers all your questions in a timely manner.
When it comes to selling a family home, you need an agent who knows what they're doing. We found that agent in John Galea. Open, clear and upfront in all our dealings, he made our decisions easy. We recommend John to anyone looking to sell.
