If you are considering selling your property I highly recommend John Raptis of Smallacombe Real Estate at Kingswood. I met John at an Open at Newton where I found him to be helpful but not pushy. I immediately warmed to his professional personality. Selling ones' home is an emotional experience. Just setting the correct value on the property can be challenging, but John was cool and calm and assured me the price range we agreed upon was spot on. He achieved far more than I expected. John Raptis is a respectful, well informed agent who kept me up to date with progress who follows the R.E.I rules to the letter. I couldn't fault his professionalism and his diligence. My house sold in 3 weeks...I couldn't be happier.

Although John was a nice guy we felt the communication was extremely poor and caused quite a high level of stress at times that could have otherwise been resolved with a simple message, email or call. John was also difficult to get in touch with when facing the issues we faced with the contract, and did not return our calls when asked to do so. We are unsure whether the vendors were difficult but we felt regardless that John could have communicated with us far better. This would have eased a lot of our stress and anxiety during the contract period when the contract was delayed by 3 days due to further miscommunication between us, the agent John and the vendors regarding a query that we had. Given that we were first home buyers, were new to buying a house the lack of communication added unnecessary stress and anxiety throughout the offer and contract period. John was pleasant to deal with when we did speak with him but in those crucial moments we just would've appreciated more communication from him.

,This is my feedback on John Raptis John went above and beyond with the assistance of selling my property He kept me up to date with all facets of the selling procedure and also at the auction that was held and what was required before the date .His friendly persona and approachable manner made me feel comfortable putting my home in his hands to sell. Johns assistance and understanding the situation of property to vacate tenant was greatly appreciate his knowledge exceeded all areas and expectations of a sales consultant. Regards Kris

John knows the market, and he knows how to sell. He has worked very hard for the sale of our place, we are very grateful for that.

John made the experience easier through his friendly, professional manner. He was approachable and knowledgeable about real estate in the area and addressed any questions and concerns promptly.

John was very professional and helped me along the way as buying a property was new to me. He was always able to answer questions via phone or email and kept me in the loop when he communicated with the sellers. I’d definitely reccommend John if I ever sell a property in the future.

I very much liked John‘s positive attitude and ambition. He is communicative, committed and professional. For me he was exactly the right man for the job.

A true gentleman.very courteous,ready to assist even out of hours and any day of the week. John has a genuine rapport with both the vendor and the buyer. Being a novice in real estate John was patient and instructive with me in the process. I have recommended John to my daughter who plans to sell in the next two months.They have already had discussions. .

John has superb knowledge about the products and the building process! A trustworthy and approachable person! I will recommend him to others

John helped us buy our first home and he was extremely patient with our endless questions. He was amazing, honest and real about the property. John spoke with a lot of experience behind him and was very professional in all aspects of the housing process. He is very approachable and easy to contact and will be remembered from this experience.

From the start John gave us valuable advice and confidence:..he went above and beyond to sell a very different property at a good price... it took a while and we made a couple of changes that paid off ... thanks for all your effort..
