Joe's knowledge and obvious experience of real estate especially in this difficult time, I found extremely reassuring and trustworthy. I would certainly recommend Joe and Village to buy and sell property with.
We have owned our house for 32 years so as first time sellers we needed plenty of guidance and were made feel that no question was too silly. Joseph communicated in an open and honest way about what was available on the market comparable to our house and suggested ways for us to enhance our chances of a favourable outcome. His professionalism came to the fore in helping us navigate through tricky times due to Covid-19 restrictions. We have already recommended Joseph to our friends.
I would not hesitate to recommend Joe to sell your home. I previously had engaged another agent and so had direct comparison. Joe's professionalism and experience made all the difference. He established great rapport with potential purchasers and I think this was an important part of the campaign. He was never pushy and I felt very listened to - in fact the communication throughout was brilliant. The campaign was well thought out and the fact that this was not only our home but our biggest asset, was never lost in the mix. So thanks Joe - a great result and a great experience.
Joseph Allen is one of those agents out there who makes real estate special. He is knowledgable, helpful and very easy-going. Communication was A1 and we're certain the vendors would say the same. He ensured a win/win for each party.
We purchased a property that Joe was the agent for. Being on the buyer side, we've had pretty poor experience with the sellers agents during the six months we were house hunting. Joe stood out from the first time we met him at an open home viewing and was always very friendly and genuine. We put in a pre auction bid for the house and Joe put in a lot of effort to make it go through. We later pulled out and felt like we were annoying but he responded with even more kindness. In the end, we ended up actually going to the auction and winning the house. From first first day of viewing, to negotiations and finalisations and dropping off the key we felt like Joe was throughout genuinely interested in making both buyer and seller happy. We highly recommend anyone to let Joe help you to sell/buy a home!
Joseph’s many, many years in real estate are evident in his honest approach, extensive knowledge and excellent communication. Joe goes out of his way to make sure his vendor’s are fully aware of the process - from beginning to end. He is personable, approachable, trustworthy and lovely to be around. No question is too small or too silly in Joe’s book! Having sold two properties with Joe, we won’t use anyone else - he really is the best there is.
Joseph demonstrated strong market knowledge of the area and offered clear pragmatic guidance that was focused on achieving an outstanding result for all parties. He helped navigate the selling process with skill, was hard working, efficient, and frequently communicated the progress of the sale in a very effective manner. No question was too small or too complex for Joseph, he was easy to contact, and provided more support than I was expecting. Most importantly, Joseph has an honest "down to earth" approach that was exceedingly professional, warm, and trustworthy. Joseph is one of the best real estate agents I have worked with, and I genuinely felt the sale of my property was in good hands. I would engage him again without hesitation. The team at Village Real Estate was also excellent and they worked together in a skilled and cohesive manner - including the broader roles I needed to interface with such as marketing, photography, video, business management, working with conveyancers, etc.
We looked into a few agents before settling in with Joe from The Village. He was great through the selling process, very knowledgeable about the area also. We however had support issues with items that had been negotiated as part of the sale, failing to return calls even. Average level of support and service overall
Joe had a very refreshing approach. He was open, honest and transparent throughout the whole process. His communication was great and he was very easy to deal with. Thanks Jo
Dealing with Joseph was like a breath of fresh air. His unassuming, open manner was exactly what we needed during the sale period. His feedback on open days was excellent and his auction style produced a very good result. Five stars!
It would be remiss of us if we didn't take this opportunity to share our thoughts regarding our recent experience in selling our home with with Joseph Allen through Village Real Estate. From out first meeting to our final sold result. Joe was the perfect blend of personal and professionalism as he attended to our situation and requirements. His competence and willingness to go that bit extra was evident in all stages of the process. We couldn't be more pleased or impressed with Joe and would recommend him unreservedly to anyone looking for an agent with a strong professional ethic combined with a skillful, yet personable approach.
We have had the pleasure of working with Joe a few times now. Joe has helped us both buy and sell properties in the Yarraville area and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. Joe has always been very professional and down to earth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use Joe again in the future.
