I am so pleased I came across John when looking for an agent! I approached Smallacombe as I wanted to sell my off the plan apartment, I had no idea that it was possible to sell prior to settlement but John advised all of my options and that selling prior to settlement would save me paying stamp duty - big plus! John kept me updated on feedback and interest throughout, he was very prompt at answering my and potential buyers' questions and found a buyer before settlement which was a relief after a few tough years to have that all sorted. Even after the initial buyer created a difficult situation, John was not deterred and jumped straight into action keeping me in the loop the entire way. I was extremely happy with the end result and cannot thank John enough for all his hard work, he really went above and beyond as did his admin team. Professional, knowledgeable and committed to getting the job done. Would definitely recommend!!
John's reviews
John is very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. John has excellent communication skills and listens to his clients, addresses their concerns and supports them through out the process. We found him to be an excellent auctioneer.
John used his experience to advise me of the best options for selling my house in the current housing market which was by auction. We achieved a great result and got well over our expected price. So thanks John for all your hard work on this. I highly recommend him to others even if you are thinking about selling for advice
John was exceptionally professional and spent time to understand our needs as the seller. He contacted us after every open to provide a summary and feedback. I feel John's experience shone through during Covid when he guided us with his knowledge of the market and his management of our existing tenants was fantastic. I would highly recommend John as an agent to sell your property.
John made our purchase as easy as possible during this covid 19 crisis. He was prompt in answering any queries, gave us advise where he could and made the whole transaction seamless and stress free. Only 3 weeks from viewing to settlement. Thanks again John.
John Raptis is very personal and professional in the field. Working with him has been easy and straightforward (no sales gimmicks). We sold our property after 2 weeks on the market and at the price we wanted. John has kept us informed through the entire process and will provide us with detailed feedback from potential buyers. Will not hesitate to recommend his service. Thanks John.
John was always helpful. Property sale wasnt as easy as we had hoped. Possibly the initial price was too high so we didnt get any serious offers until later in the campaign
We were very happy with John's care and attention when purchasing our property. After our offer was accepted, he actually met us to give us another look through the home to measure up and show the children which was very kind of him. He was also very patient with us and good at communicating while we were waiting for our finance to be approved. Thanks John!
He is a easy guy to deal with, and has good negotiation traits
John has re-instored our trust and faith in his profession. He is by far the benchmark professional, juggling his representation of ourselves with his role as a father and role model for his family. He understands, like Smallacombe that he is in business to stay in business. A great experience that was rewarding on many levels.
John had many good ideas on presentation to maximize the impact of the property for marketing. He always listened to our needs and any concerns we had about the selling process and was able to offer suggestions.
