From our first meeting till the conclusion of the sale and even later Nick kept our interests in mind and kept us informed of developments throughout the period. He has been a great support and most helpful in many ways.
Not much to say, Nick delivered what he promised and was transparent through the entire process. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to buy a house in his area.
Pleasure working with Nick again highly recommend professional and look forward to working with him in the future.
Nicholas was very extremely helpful, down to earth and easy to communicate. He consistently contacted us both by phone call and text messages. As well as that he informed us every opportunity from start to the end of purchasing the property. I would recommend Nicholas to anyone and everyone who is looking to Purchase any property. Thank you very much Nick, you are the very best 😊
I have lived in my current house in Newport Victoria for twenty years. I first came in to contact with Nicholas Skapoulas approximately ten years ago when I first sought an evaluation of my house. I also invited other estate agents to give me advice. What struck me at that time was the honesty and realistic appraisal of the price of my house. Nicholas also did not place any pressure on me to sell but explored all options including renting the property. This was in stark contrast to other agents I had invited to give me advice. Since then I have recommended Nicholas to friends in the area and he and his agency have always behaved with the highest of integrity in sometimes complicated situations. I therefore had no hesitation in employing Nicholas and his team to sell my property one month ago. Again I was impressed with the realistic and clear manner he both priced my house and what options were available to best market it. Nicholas put together a team from Nicholas Scott in Yarraville who were always prompt, reliable and enthusiastic. Nicholas, Rebecca and Erden constantly kept me aware of progress and even had potential buyers before the house was advertised. I believe this reflects the agencies ongoing understanding of the real estate market particularly in the inner west of Melbourne. My house was sold within two weeks of hitting the market and I was more than happy with the result. I also met the purchasers of my house who were impressed with the service they received. This is a fine line to walk and I am highly impressed. Be aware, if you want an estate agent to lie, overestimate the value of your property and play dirty tricks to get the price to a maximum, this is not the agent for you. I believe Nicholas Scott Real Estate pride itself and rely on its reputation of honesty and integrity. But if you want to be treated with respect and given all the available options as well as having unquestionable local knowledge, this is the agent for you. Tim Cunningham
It was a pleasure dealing with Nick on our purchase of 21 Monmouth Street, Newport. Nick was very professional and responsive. He was always easily contactable during the entire process of this purchase.
Nick made my purchase seamless. Always quick to respond to my queries assisted me in making the decision to buy.
I bought my property through Nicholas and at that time the title of the property has not been issued. Nicholas assured and constantly communicated with me regarding the title and at what stage it was. Finally, the title came down and everything took off smoothly. He is a patient and trustworthy agent and I would not mind going to him for buying and selling properties.
Pleasant agent to deal with always dealt with my queries and promptly returned my calls.
Great Agent. Best in the business with a great confidence and reliability. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is after a quick and hassle free sale. I also like there sale pitch which takes away the pressure and stress of having to go to an auction.
Nick Skapoulas recently sold a property for us in Yarraville. Nick is genuine, responsive and provides practical and honest guidance. He knows his stuff and the Melbourne inner-west real estate market. Never once in the entire process was there anything that ever pointed to Nick having a self-interest (thinking commission) in any of his comments or guidance. It was always about what was best for us, why that was the case, what we could realistically expect and what we didn’t need to bother doing to get ready for the sale. The selling strategy Nick uses is one where the buyer is totally dis-empowered because they just don’t know how much the competition has offered. As a buyer, I hate the strategy. As a seller I love it…because the fear of loss factor kicks in and buyers will go to the top of their price range to avoid missing out. I saw that first hand with a personal friend who bought through Nicholas Scott Real Estate. I was gobsmacked by how much they went over the asking price – just so they wouldn’t risk missing out. It was first hand evidence that the selling strategy works. It was a key factor in the decision to go with Nick. We decided a selling range with guidance from Nick and never once in the “offers” stage were we ever asked to consider taking an offer in the low or middle of our range. Optimists offered low and were quickly told “no”. We were informed of those by Nick but we were never encouraged to consider them. The only time Nick ever said “I think this is as good as it will get” was after he had an offer that exceeded the top of our range and there were no other possible rises. Even the after sale stage was a breeze with recommendations from Nick about who we could trust to do the conveyancing and get it right first time all at a reasonable price. I can’t recommend or thank Nick highly enough. He delivered the results he said he would and he did it with no fuss, no pressure on us whatsoever and all in only seven days with a 30 day settlement.
Nick was able to see out unit within about 10 days on the market for the price we wanted. He kept it real with a simple sales process and kept us informed along the way.
