I have had extensive contact with John and his team over a 12+ month search period. John knew what we were looking for and what we weren't and while we were not John's client as such, I always felt that I knew where I stood. I appreciated John's "no-fluff" approach together with his integrity and professionalism which he does not compromise.
I've seen John and his team at about 50% of the open homes my family has viewed in the past couple weeks. I immediately noticed the attention to detail, patiently asking questions, providing honest feedback but remaining light hearted. I truly believe he was getting sick of seeing us allowing the vendor to make us a great deal. I appreciated his teams willingness to meet our demanding schedules for viewing and being knowledgeable about the home, street and surrounding suburb.
John is an outstanding agent. Knowledgeable, transparent, calm and a great negotiator. I appreciated John’s upfront nature - he communicated with us every step of the way and delivered a solid result for us in a tough market. John’s responsiveness and straightforward approach made the process uncomplicated. He works hard, cares about what he does, and it shows. Highly recommended!
The experience with John and the team was positive. We were very well informed the whole way along. Corinna, Hamish and Nicky helped to create a seamless process and make it as easy for us as possible. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with John and the team again.
We have had the fortune of selling a property with John only to come back around in the market and buy a property from him. On both sides he has been completely transparent on the process, interested parties and how realistic we were when considering different options. We appreciate the help John and his team have given us and we have been very happy with the outcome both times.
John and his team were at all times thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and looked after our interests extremely well with honest appraisals and advice during the whole sales campaign. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John and his team to anyone in the future.
John was extremely patient and made the whole process such a breeze. His knowledge and guidance is golden. Opting for John was one of the best decisions.
Respectful, helpful, knowledgeable, sense of humour - Though he wasn't my real estate agent I always felt he was also trying to help and support me - probably a hard balancing act when one is really employed by the vendor. And I will enjoy the veuve cliquot when I hav e the time to catch my breath! Thanks John. ps the whole team seems good value. Settlement period preference is 5 weeks.
John and his team are committed, hard working and great to work with. Efficient and always quick to respond at all times.Their experience and knowledge of the industry achieved a result in a very tough market. Thanks to John and all the team for their help in selling our home.
As a purchaser it's the first time I have bought without actually meeting the agent face to face, however communication with John was succinct and efficient via phone/email/txt, and I felt he was truly working towards a win/win for us and the vendor. John's team offer him great support and all we met were very professional, helpful and accommodating to our needs.
John has a great knack in helping you feel confident and at ease with the end-to-end sale process. We felt happy to place trust the expertise and experience of John and his extremely professional and friendly team. The scale of LJ Hooker in Willoughby (i.e. number of staff, property portfolio and candidate data base) is an advantage that competitor agencies struggle to match.
John did a great job of marketing our home in Willoughby, and of accurately setting our expectations. In a falling property market, with many properties having very low attendance at their open inspections, we had large numbers of people coming through, and an pre-auction offer at the top end of the price range John had originally quoted. John called us every day to let us know how things were progressing, and kept us fully informed all along. Very happy!!
