Impeccable Sales Campaign

From the moment John first walked into our home, up until the moment the house was sold, the entire sales experience was superb. In today’s Bellingen market some houses, like our magnificent historical home, can probably sell themselves. This is why we enlisted John because we were in search of top dollar and that’s precisely what we were able to achieve. John managed our expectations incredibly well. The result followed. The advertisement, photos, video, voice over and timing of this campaign could not have been any better. There were no losers in this transaction either. The buyers purchased a house in a hot market - one of those homes they’re certainly not making any more of and through John’s willingness to transparently communicate, they realised they had to make it theirs before the rest of the world got to see it. His VIP list of keen purchasers, which he had quite a few, looking for something that ticks all their boxes won out over the World Wide Web in the end. However, the advertisement on the real estate platforms was one of the best I’ve seen and the inundation of enquiry John received in the first 48 hours of its release was testimony to this biased claim. John facilitated the entire process magnificently. His communication and availability was excellent. His professionalism, knowledge, patience and experience all combined to get the sale done in what was a a quick and seamless process. We knew we had something unique and quite special. John listened and reflected while also contributing significantly to this great result. He was super invested in the process and got the result all parties were happy with. If you’ve got that something special, unique, popular, desirable, different or even a little quirky, don’t hesitate to have a conversation with John if you’re considering selling your home. Obligation free, zero hassle and no pressure. This was an impeccable sales campaign which got the dream result for all!

Happy to Recommend

Hi John, Just a short note to express our thanks and gratitude for the way you handled the sale of our property. You kept us informed after each inspection of any comments made by prospective purchasers and because of your knowledge of the property market you kept them interested. Our negotiations went smoothly and we hope our purchaser is also happy and satisfied with the final agreement. All the best John, we would happily recommend you to any of our friends who need to sell or buy property. Kindest regards, Trevor and Sue.

Above and Beyond....

After selling and buying quite a few homes over the past ten years , we can confidently say that John Simon is lightyears ahead of other agents in Australia. From our first conversation, it was clear that John had such passion for facilitating his clients find a home , an area and a lifestyle. He has a depth and breadth of wisdom and knowledge about Australia , it’s people, cities , country and nature . John was there for us 1000%, always available for information , or just reassuring and motivating chats about our property . John goes above and beyond in helping his clients , even when it is outside his actual ‘ job’ description . He gave us timely advice in selling our house in Mittagong ( when the actual agents we employed for the job were not yet able to sell the property!)and this advice led to a speedy sale ! John lives and breathes his work .. so authentic in his presence and words . If you want to find your perfect home or sell your home smoothly for the price you want , you will be very fortunate to have John Simon at the helm .

John introduced my wfe and I to 2 Tobouchina Close, Bellingen, which we purchased.

John went to considerable trouble to provide all the available information about 2 Tibouchina Close, Bellingen, including costings for developing the property. He could not have been more professional and helpful. My wife and I would not have purchased the property if it were not for John's efforts.

Marketing technique says it all!

We chose OpenhomeOnline over two other contenders to sell our home. The professionalism combined with the marketing concept of the company sold our house within two weeks of the house going on the market. Couldn't have had a better result!

Great Outcome

John communicated with me from the start; he gave me a detailed overview of the market and that helped us determine the price we were after The process was very professional - we heard from him regularly and we took his counsel as the negotiations played out. We secured the sale and got our price and terms. Great Outcome!

From start to finish, fantastic engagement & result

John's knowledge of the broader Bello Shire market is exceptional; he ran through all relevant sales and properties that might be in competition with ours, and we then set the price we were hoping for He kept us engaged all along the way, with every enquiry and and other developments The negotiation process was professionally handled and the result was perfect Thanks JS!!

Good job mate!

John: I want to say that last night’s dinner was really lovely and we were truly honored that you shared your friends and Alayne with us. That was very a very special gift. I am also writing to express my admiration for you. When we met you told us about your NZ trip with your son. I was so moved by your story and it spoke volumes about you. It is a beautiful story! You are a good man John and that makes you a rare and endangered species. There just not enough people like you in this world. I also want to thank you for handling the transaction between us and the Brissas. You are a professional and you helped us beyond what was expected. Good job old man! Much affection, Noah and Ann

Working with John Simon as our agent

Jeremy and I have been delighted by both Andrew Perrott and John Simon as our agents for the sal of 2 Tibouchina Close, Bellingen. Indeed, our deepest regret is that we didn't turn to them sooner. This property had been on the market for a depressingly long time, so it probably didn't present an exciting prospect for Openhome online at the time they took it on. Although Andrew was the official 'listing' agent here, John worked every bit as positively and diligently to make the miracle happen. They are clearly an excellent team and are both honest, conscientious, astute and positive communicators. John engages well with people and obviously knows the market here extremely well (as does Andrew) and was able to stitch up a deal with people who seem to love this property. Although the price was not what we'd hoped, we accept that it was rather 'tired' by then, and that he market was less vibrant anyway. We're aware they'd have achieved a higher price had we enlisted their expertise a lot earlier. John comes with our strongest recommendations - which we have already begun to activate. Our thanks to both of you!
