Both Julian and Jessica from Woodards Blackburn were very understanding of our difficult situation at the time of trying to sell & FINALLY SELLING our property after a failed campaign with another agent. Thanks guys, you were very professional throughout your campaign selling process and very supportive through a tough time for us.
When I first met Julian I felt that he was friendly and had lots of integrity as does the agency he works for. He kept me well informed with what was happening throughout the campaign and on the day of the auction everything they told me happened. It couldn’t have gone smoother. The campaign was well run as he gave me advise that I took and was for my betterment. I’m very pleased I chose him as my agent.
Julian and Jessica sold our house and we were very happy with our choice of agents. They are very professional, well organised and very pleasant and down to earth to deal with. They came to the initial meeting well prepared and were upfront about fees which was refreshing compared to other agents we had met. I would not hesitate to use them again and they get my full recommendation. Thank you Julian and Jessica.
Julian was wonderful, very quick to respond to any questions, very knowledgeable about the area, enthusiastic, charming, fun, and found us our dream home. Would highly recommend Julian to anyone in the Blackburn South area.
Having not sold a property before at auction before I was extremely particular with my agent selection. My wife and I were extremely impressed with Sam and Julian from our first meeting where they offered tips on where to spend money to maximise our sale price. Throughout the auction campaign their communication was fantastic always keeping us informed of interested parties and their feedback. We are very happy with the service provided and would definitely use them again! Thanks again!
Julian's strengths are his highly effective communication skills and detailed knowledge of the marketplace which proved invaluable in achieving an excellent result in the sale of the property on the weekend. The other attributes which were of importance was his ability to listen and offer high quality advice. If an opportunity arises in the future to sell another property we would not hesitate to return to Julian and have him manage the sale.
It's hard to find a better agent than Julian in the area. He's honest and transparent, something I appreciated both as a previous buyer of another property he was selling and as a vendor in this case. In comparison, I've sometimes found other agents would cherry pick the facts they present to you, or I'd get the impression they were not always telling the full story. Not the case with Julian, who I always felt presented the true state of the market and was able to communicate the facts well. Always professional and hard-working. Happy with the outcome and also the way the marketing campaign was conducted.
In an industry which is fraught with the possibility of negative emotional commentary and behaviour, unsatisfactory results and irresponsible conduct from all stakeholders, it has been indeed a wonderful experience dealing with Julian and Woodards, Blackburn in general. As with the majority of Vendors, I believed my house to be way above the suburb's median value. Through professional and informative analytical data, plus respectful and patient conversations, Julian gave me the confidence to trust him with the sale of my home, a decision for which I shall always be thankful. Allowing him to exercise his extensive knowledge and utilise his 20 plus years in the real estate industry, resulted in an amazingly rewarding and positive experience for me. Julian's drive comes from his commitment to achieve the highest possible value for your property. My advice to anyone seeking to sell their home - allow him to do all the hard work! Just sit back, relax and know that your property is in safe hands!!
Julian is great to deal with - this is the third time I have utilised his expertise. He is professional, adept at listening & was mindful of my 89 yr old mother’s needs during this stressful time for her. His knowledge around the Box Hill area & the strategies he proposed for mum’s sale all came to fruition at the auction. My mother was so happy with the outcome. On a final note, Julian has a wonderful sense of humour that produced many much needed laughs for us along the way.
Thank you & congratulations to the Woodards team on facilitating a great outcome in the sale of our home. The Blackburn Office operates strongly as a team & created & managed a campaign that ensured we had a broad range of buyers at the auction to ensure a competitive environment whish led to a strong result. I would have no hesitation & in fact have already recommended Julian.
Julian Badenach and Jessica Hellman, our team from Woodards Blackburn, were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and handling of our recent campaign which resulted in a better than expected sale price. Following recommendations from several friends who had previous successful dealings with Julian and Jessica, and after our initial meeting, we had no hesitation in placing the sale of our property in their hands. From the beginning, their calm and confident management of the whole campaign, together with their advice and regular communication, helped put us at ease during the lead up to the sale. Their Auctioneer, Cameron Way, also was excellent and we are most grateful at his handling of the sale on the day. We thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering selling their property in the Blackburn area.
We were, of course, delighted with the result, as well as with the experience of working with Julian and Jessica. We felt that at all times, we were in the hands of professionals who know the business and know how to work effectively in the market. The feedback and progress reports were greatly appreciated; we felt we were kept well informed throughout the campaign. We would have no hesitation in recommending Woodards, Blackburn, and Julian in particular.
