John provided an exceptional service. He and his team are very professional and impressive right from the initial interview. Their market knowledge is impressive and the communication through the campaign kept us well informed up to the day of auction. The final result exceeded expectations and we were exceptionally happy with the service provided.
I could not have been happier with John and his team. He has an excellent knowledge of buying principles and psychology and got us the best price possible for our house. He worked extremely well with the auctioneer and his partnering with Cordony Design was a driving force behind our success. I truly recommend John as a great real estate agent.
John was patient, friendly and professional in spite of me calling him weekly for months seeking information on upcoming listings! John and his team were professional and helpful all the way along in our journey finding a home. He is experienced, steady and a good negotiator. It has been a pleasure dealing with him and his team.
I purchased an apartment from John McManus in an auction. John clearly is a professional who runs a very transparent campaign, and having a good team to assist him. I had my questions answered promptly and was thoroughly impressed with the whole process. I would have no hesitation in recommending John McManus to any potential vendor.
a very smooth process , helped by great communication by John and the whole team.
With a very impressive reputation in the Artarmon/Willoughby area, our only hesitation in choosing John to handle the sale of our semi in Artarmon was that he would be too busy to give it the attention it deserved. We were way off the mark there. He and his team were without question the right choice. He is personable, down to earth, and knows the market better than anyone. He called us virtually every night to discuss the progress of the campaign, and his advice was always spot on. Even when it became time to make big decisions, he was bang on the money every time - literally. The result we achieved was well above expectations, and we believe would not have been achieved with a different agent. Nothing was a ever a problem for John's team, and from the office manager to the stylist to the other sales agents, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. If you interview other agencies you are wasting your time. Talk to John and you will get the best. From the marketing and open homes to the auction and decision making process regarding price and negotiation, John knows his stuff better than anyone, and communicates it to both seller and buyer in a way that makes everyone feel like they've won. Highly recommended by us and without peer in the local area.
We were so impressed by John when he came to our house before we selling our house. He is so professional, patient, thoughtful and deep understanding the market. I would say he is the best agent and most experienced agent in this area. Moreover, he gave us lots of information besides selling the house, such as the trend of the market etc. Thank you John.Well done! Sam & Helen
John was courteous and kept in touch during the process of my purchase. LJ Hooker went that extra yard by giving me a bottle of Verve on exchange and a gorgeous homewares gift on exchange.
John and his team were an absolute joy to work with! The guidance with the overall planning and preparation leading to sale made our life so much easier. From day one each of John's team members were highly professional and polite, ensuring nothing was overlooked during the campaign. The marketing was brilliant, the coordination and preparation of our house with John's team added major value to the end result. John is a truly brilliant strategist and highly respected in the industry, I am truly glad we aligned the sale of our property with his organisation. He exceeded well and truly beyond the price we required for my family to move to the next stage of our lives and we are truly thankful.
John McManus at LJ Hooker Willoughby was recommended to me by a relative who had previously engaged John to sell his property. John helped me market and sell my late fathers estate, a process complicated by the fact I live interstate. The service provided by John and his team was outstanding. John presented a clear vision for the property to achieve the best possible sales result and guided me through the property preparation, marketing and auction process at each stage. He gave frank and sensible advice on the best actions to take to enhance the property and maximise its appeal and skilfully negotiated with potential buyers. He and his team provided regular informative written reports and updates on the interest in the property once it was on the market that guided our sales strategy. The result achieved at auction significantly exceeded our expectations. I would strongly recommend John and his team for their skill and professionalism and excellent outcome they achieved.
We made the decision to go with John McManus, as it was clear from our first meeting that he would be incredibly honest and transparent with us throughout the process. He was a straight shooter and that gave us comfort. Throughout the sale process, John was outstanding. He was in constant communication with us - keeping us informed on potential buyers and all the while helping us to understand how possible scenarios might play out. It was also abundantly clear that he had our best interests in mind - not once did he encourage us to look at or take an offer pre-auction. He and his team were happy to put in the time and the yards, and let the process run its course on the basis that it was an auction property and that would deliver the best result. The broader team at LJ Hooker Willoughby/Artarmon, led by Carlos, Nessie & Gerard amongst others were also excellent operators and an integral part of the sale. We would highly recommed John and his team, to anyone selling their property in the area. He is a fantastic agent. You will not regret your decision.
Would highly recommend John to others as an agent - honest and straight fwd negotiations and great communications and market knowledge
