John was extremely professional and helpful in the short time we met him. He was generous in allowing us more time to view the property as it was a 15 minute viewing. Thanks again John as this helped us with making the important decision on making an offer. You and Costa are great assets to Belle Real Estate. 😊

Thai is our second property sold by John and, just like the first time, he was spot on. He gave us an accurate read on the market situation before starting the process and knew exactly what to do and how to do it when it came to getting the right buyer. Thanks again John and team!


Great work by John and Will in working closely with us to get a successful outcome, very professional and attentive


I contacted John at Belle property group to market and sell our property in St Kilda. As we live interstate, we required an agent with great pro-active communication at every step. John provided this throughout which resulted in clear understanding of the process and ultimately a satisfactory sale.

It was a pleasure dealing with John Manning from Belle. We had complete confidence in John throughout the process of styling, marketing and the final sale of our property.

The team and especially John Manning gave reliable, no frills , feedback that made our decision easy on the day.Our auctioneer Sam Inan did a great job and got the best result we could have asked for. It was an awkward time due to covid but John took it on himself to do a lot of “ one on one “ inspections and spent lots of time keeping the buyers interested. Thank you Belle Hocking Stuart

We employed John Manning of Belle Real Estate to sell our Balaclava home recently and had a fantastic experience. We met with a handful of different agents, but were sold on John & Belle from the word go. John is very personable, well presented, easygoing and at all times, highly professional. Throughout the entire campaign he was very easy to work with & responded to any and all of our queries in record time. Belle provided a wonderful service - the photos, video, marketing, etc. were all of exceptional quality and helped us achieve an excellent result at auction. I would have no hesitation in recommending John Manning to anyone.

John was good to deal with. Straight shooting. Personable. No messing about.

This is the third time John Manning has sold a property for us over a 25 year period. Its pleasing to know that every time we need to deal in realestate within Elwood ,St Kilda and surrounds John has been our "go to" every time. We just don't call anyone else. There is no need. John has always been prompt, courteous, candid, thorough , likeable and results driven. John has exceeded our expectations at every turn. Whether by private sale or an auction campaign the results have been nothing short of exceptional. Especially during this very difficult Covid pandemic. His advice was on the money. A very big thank you again. Kind regards Chris & Vivien
