EASY GOING HARD WORKING GUY

John did a fantastic job for the purchase of this property with some major hurdles along the way (thanks to banking institutions and the birth of our second daughter). We can not stress how John helped make us feel relaxed in some very stressful situations. The team at Open Home Online were always available and ensured that everything ran as smooth as possible. Thanks again guys and hope to celebrate over a few drinks soon. Cheers Sam, Caitie, Charlotte and Gabrielle

Tree change purchase

We purchased a small acreage property in Bellingen through John Simon who made, what can be a daunting experience, an extremely pleasant, informed and well managed one. He spoke authoritatively on the nuances of the property and its neighbourhood, and helped demystify the farming processes to us city slickers. John's excellent communication, local knowledge and availability through all steps of the process allowed us to make a confident purchasing decision. We would not hesitate to recommend John for any of your real estate transactions.

John Simon- Openhomesonline

We selected John Simon to sell our home after a rigorous assessment of the capabilities of all the real estate agencies in our area. During our 40 years of buying, selling and renting real estate around Australia we have found John Simon and his team at openhomeonline the most professional and dedicated real estate agents we have worked work with to achieve our goal of selling our home at a reasonable price. There are many in the real estate industry that could take lessons from John and his approach to dealing with vendors and purchasers.

Balanced & Informed

The property we purchased was quite unique across the Bellingen market as it was a new, smaller house on prime land just 5 minutes from town, so it was always going to generate a lot of interest locally & interstate. But once registering our interest with John & his team, they kept us abreast of developments and, without feeling pressured or pushy, made sure he understood our interest. Even while John was away, his team smoothly & seamlessly filled the gap and we never felt we were uncertain about the status of our interest. In the last stage when there were 2 serious parties (us being one), he was respectful and commercial in his dealings and the 'final bids' process he ran was very professional.

My experience with Open Home Online

This is probably the most professional realestate agency I'v ever worked with, I was super pleased with their negotiation skills and overall quality of presenting and pitching my property. They were able to deliver quick sales for the desired price with their price range strategy. I would wholeheartedly recommend John Simon to any vendor or buyer - Thank you John, pleasure doing business with you. Noam Blat

John Simon and OpenhomeOnline, delivering the goods

Prior to appointing John Simon as our exclusive agent for the sale of our property, Lily Pily Country House in Bellingen NSW, we thought engaging a 'major city' based agent would be more suitable as we felt that the likely purchaser would come from major cities around Australia or overseas (ie people looking for a 'tree-change', but also wishing to secure an up market property with the opportunity of earning a nice income through the B&B business). This proved to be a wrong decision and after 3 months we changed to John & his team. His marketing focus was sharper and his knowledge of our market (as well as big cities) was excellent. We updated all our advertising efforts (at minimal cost I should say) and started to get a steady stream of enquiries and inspections. His communication with us was first rate and the final outcome was well within our expectations. We couldn't recommend John and his team highly enough and look forward to doing other transactions with him down the track. Bruce Levy Lily Pily Country House

John Simon - Open Home Online, Bellingen

John is a genuine, caring person and has been very good to deal with. We felt that, while he obviously had the interests of his client at heart, he was generous with his time, patient and helpful to us while showing us properties, during the purchase process and afterwards.

House Sale

I found John Simon to be an excellent agent, who communicated well and kept me well informed about what was happening regarding the sale of my home. John has great local knowledge, is very personable and was very easy to work with. I would recommend John to any potential property sellers or buyers in the Bellingen area.

Excellent!

John was very helpful in keeping both parties informed and whilst exchange took longer than anticipated this was due to banking issues and out of his control. Selling and buying a home can be a stressful time indeed but I felt comfortable with John involved . He went to great lengths to do whatever he could to get things moving. He knows his market and demonstrates expertise as a real estate agent and I very much recommend his services.
