Exceptional Service & A Brilliant Result - The Ultimate Real Estate Experience

I recently had the pleasure of partnering with John Hesse from Hills Direct Real Estate - First National to sell my property, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. As an overseas homeowner, selling a property seemed challenging, but John made it seamless. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a dedicated real estate agent who delivers impressive results. John distinguished himself by handling all aspects of the sale process while I was abroad. He organized inspections, repairs, and staging with precision and kept me informed throughout. His excellent communication skills reassured me that my property was in great hands. His skilled advice on property-related matters was invaluable, backed by his deep knowledge of the local market and trends. John consistently offered sound counsel, helping me make well-informed decisions about my property. What truly impressed me was his understanding of the most effective way to sell my property. He recommended an auction after a comprehensive market analysis and considering my unique circumstances. This proved to be an excellent decision, generating significant interest among potential buyers and leading to a competitive bidding environment, ultimately maximizing the sale price. John's extensive network (including a great auctioneer for the sale), and ability to create urgency among bidders played a key role in achieving a final sale price that surpassed my expectations. His dedication to obtaining the best possible outcome for his clients is truly commendable. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend John Hesse and his team at Hills Direct Real Estate - First National . If you're looking for a real estate agent with unmatched experience, in-depth market knowledge, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction, John is the perfect choice. He provided exceptional service from beginning to end, exceeding my expectations.

Top Notch Service

Since our purchase of this property in 1992, John and his team have been managing our rental leases. The service was excellent and the communication always open. For this reason, we decided to sell this property through John as well. John has been an asset since the start of the sales process. His knowledge of the market, what to expect and how to proceed has been priceless. We highly recommend John and his team to anyone who values honestly, hard work and clear communication.

Seamless Experience

This was the easiest transaction I've ever experienced. John Hesse was always available and responsive to our requests however knew when to apply his knowledge and experience to steer us in the right direction. His knowledge of the market and price expectation was spot on and he handled everything including managing our previous tenants to obtain vacant possession and then staging the property for sale and facilitating a short settlement period. I could not be happier.

They know their Stuff

Couldn’t be happier with the overall experience from the whole Team. The house sold quickly at the high end of the promised range. John’s help with the existing tenant made the process much smoother.

Highly Recommended

Having utilised the Hills Direct Property Team for many years our investment property was always in safe hands. So too the Sales and Marketing team when it came to selling our property. Great communication and thorough marketing campaign. Highly recommend the team for either selling or managing your property.

Selling investment property with Mr. John Hesse

We needed help to sell an investment property in Doonside NSW and asked John. His office and selling agents has been very helpful and professional. They basically did everything for us and we’re very pleased with the end results. They sold our investment property for us right at post Covid-19 in a buyers’ market and we’re very thankful. We definitely recommend John and his staffs for anyone seeking a very helpful and professional real estate team.

Lightning Agents

At the instruction of our Bank, we elected for a really speedy settlement. As in, only 40% the usual length of a standard settlement. Not a single complaint from the team (we dealt primarily with Paul Land) and they were always available to answer any questions we had, made us feel comfortable and always kept their promises. In a suburb and surrounds full of real estate agents, many of them not exactly the most helpful or honest people, we were overjoyed with the straightforward services and interactions we had with John Hesse and their team. Plus they sent us a lovely gift basket when we settled to boot. Would definitely use them again (though hopefully won't have to do so any time soon as we love our new house!).

John is an agent worthy of your trust.

There were some challeging aspects surrounding the sale of our property and John managed all of these with an experienced, calm, reassuring professionalism. He is an excellent problem solver, negotiator and communicator. He provided us with regular updates and advice that enabled us to sell our investment property in a timely manner for a good price. I would highly recommend his services to any potential vendor.
