Far exceeded expectations

Dear John, You have exceeded not only our expectations but also mark the standards of the suburb of Box Hill. At first we were extremely nervous however, you have sold our apartment in record time and price for the area! You've had no experience of the area and no network, you have absolutely outdone yourself and words cannot describe how much our family appreciate your work!

Experienced, professional and hard working. Very happy I chose to go with John.

John was AMAZING! He’s full of energy, capable and a fantastic communicator! I've dealt with agents over the years as buyer/vendor, and have not found any that come even close! I felt at ease with John straight away, and I’m so glad I followed his recommendations. He has plenty of experience, knows what he’s doing, and will be real with you wether you’re a vendor or a buyer. I really felt John put in every effort to bring the best price the current market could offer. John and his team are cutting edge, approachable, hard working and genuine.

Professional and genuine

John was very thorough and informative during the sale of my property. At every stage he provided me with an update on how things were going which made me feel comfortable and confident that I had chosen the right agent to sell my property. I ended up getting nearly 100k over my reserve - I don't think this could have been achieved without John.
