John helped me sell my house in February. His assistance with getting ready for sale was immeasurable. Without his guidance and contacts I could not have achieved the result I did. I cannot sing his praises loud enough or long enough.
John worked hard for the sale. Helped us with our garage sale as well. He is very personable when dealing with perspective buyers. Involved in the whole process of dealing with the whole process from start to finish.
From the first moment we met John we were impressed with his professionalism and friendliness. Throughout the 3 week campaign we found John to be very approachable, committed and supportive. He provided us with his wealth of local knowledge, market experience and continual feedback which culminated in a very successful and well attended auction day. We would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone looking to sell their home.
As a first home buyer, Our family really appreciated John's friendly and professional service from beginning to end, Now we have very happy with our new home. We have no hesitation in recommending John.
John Spencer of Parnell Partners was great! Very professional and with extensive local knowledge, he was sensitive to our needs and communicated clearly, openly and frankly throughout the process. He was willing to go the extra mile in providing service that made the experience much less stressful. Thoroughly recommended!
In over 3 months of inspections we have met many agents, John stands out not only as we ultimately bought out new home through him, but primarily for the care, attention and time he spent with us, even when we were just another family in a typical house inspection. Johns knowledge of the area, detailed public transport advice and his professional yet friendly manner made our experience and subsequent negotiation and purchase all straightforward. We would recommend John as a quality real estate agent.
I couldn't be happier with the service I received from John Spencer of Parnell Partners. His advice on preparing my house for sale and his assistance in organising necessary work made the whole thing possible. The open houses, his communication with us and the following negotiations were at all times thorough, clear and comprehensive. He was calm, measured and honest, but still achieved an excellent price for my property. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John and Parnell Partners to any seller or buyer. Thanks John!!
Those who are familiar with the Sydney property market and real estate agents would agree that being a first home owner buyer is similar to being a deer in the head lights or even a lamb taken to slaughter. During our house hunting this past year we have interacted with almost every real estate agent in the Frenchs Forest/Northern Beaches area. John Spencer from Parnell Partners is very different from most. He was one of the only agents to actually spend time with us and explain the positive features of the house that we purchased. He kept us updated with how the sales process was going with accurate indications of price. The house was well presented without using overstylised rental furniture. John created a welcoming atmosphere at auction day and made us feel comfortable participating. After our purchase, John and the owners gave us copies of the DA approved plans for renovations and presented the house very nicely at the final inspection before settlement. They really cared and left the house very clean and vacant with some helpful information about the local neighourhood. We are very happy with our purchase and feel like we were able to keep our dignity intact and enjoy our new home!
We recently sold our home in Belrose, John was very pleasant to deal with, always prepared to offer advise on how we could best present our home and always keeping us up to date with feedback from potential buyers. I would recommend John to achieve the desired result and help you through the stressful time of selling your home Christian Gardner
"I recently bought home and would highly recommend John Spencer from Parnell Partners. I felt very comfortable dealing with John and liked his manner and commitment in helping to buy the home. He offered relevant advise and was available when I needed to speak to him with any concerns I had. John's communication was excellent keeping me informed as to the process of buying and with negotiations. His knowledge of the area is extensive. We believe he is an ethical agent."
Breaking the golden rule, we recently found ourselves in the unenviable position of exchanging on a new house before selling the current family home. Despite this making good sense given the market’s current condition, the stress created by limiting ourselves both in time to settlement and selling price was palpable. In steps John Spencer. John took the time to understand the parameters in which we needed to operate and designed a marketing campaign to maximise traffic through the house while developing a sense of urgency amongst the prospective purchasers needed to ensure a competitive environment on auction day. Throughout the campaign John provided fantastic support via contact with trades people and a wonderful stylist to get the house dressed and ready for viewing in a short space of time. Then he proceeded to deliver daily updates on key developments in his characteristically calm and knowledgeable fashion. The outcome was that we sold above reserve and within a period that allowed us to synchronise the settlement date for both properties, thus allowing us to move in to our new home ahead of time. John Spencer is a trusted adviser with a deep understanding of the real-estate market and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to friends who are considering selling their home.
John Spencer is an extremely professional operator who enabled us to achieve a great outcome for the sale of our property in Belrose. From the first appointment John set clear expectations on what was required to attract the demand level needed to maximise the sale price, and helped us achieve that aim. We had a couple of hiccups along the way, and John was able to smoothly adapt his approach to address the changing circumstances. It was a pleasure dealing with John, and his record of achieving great outcomes in the Forest area speaks for itself. We'd recommend John to anyone.
