Absolutely wonderful

From the very beginning we were very happy with your service JP. The initial sit down session revealed your experience and industry knowledge and you were a fantastic communicator. You explained everything in a straightforward logical way. You were so polite, down to earth, professional, genuine and honest. As well as being a fantastic listener, not a common trait for a real estate agent nowadays. Every step of our home selling experience was awesome. Lots of communication and updates and we were always kept well informed. JP, you were wonderful to work with and I would absolutely insist anyone wanting to sell their home to meet with you and everything I am describing will most certainly ring true. Above all, they too will get a great result from partnering with you. Over the moon with the sold price result! Thank you JP and the team at R&W Bella Vista!

testimonial

Testimonial for the sale of our house We would like to thank JP for selling our house in such a professional manner. JP knocked on the door at the same time that we were thinking of selling our house. At that time I and my husband had discussed of comparing 3 real estate agents, but the moment that we had a chat with JP we were convinced that he was the right person. The minute that we spoke with JP, we instantly liked him. He presented professional knowledge and experience in real estate business. JP shared professionalism and extensive knowledge in selling houses. He used a strategy that made the sale of the house easier not mentioning his excellent communication skills. JP was also pleasant, sincere and helpful. He provided outstanding service in achieving the huge sell results of our house. JP communicated with us throughout this selling process and updated us on the results of the house inspections. The house was sold at an auction within six weeks for the price that we didn’t dream of. We would like to thank JP for the selling of our house in such a professional manner. Our house was sold for $75 000 more than the reserved price that we had chosen. We were blown away by the final results as it was something we did not think could be achieved. We couldn’t speak more highly of JP and his services and we would definitely recommend him to anyone considering selling their family home. Once again thank you JP well done.

Fantastic result!

From the first time I met JP, I knew he was different from the other realtors who had knocked on our door, the first impression that came to mind was genuine. Despite other offers from realtors to sell our home, I just couldn't think about handing over the responsibility of selling our home to anyone else. From the first meeting we had with JP and his colleague, the professional, knowledgeable and caring attitude that they both displayed, made my husband and I feel completely at ease with our choice. We were kept up to date and informed throughout the process and during the following weeks their guidance and support was phenomenal. It took all the pressure away from us as we always felt that no matter what, these two always had our best interests at heart. The weekly Vendor reports were a fantastic resource to us as this gave us concise, real feedback and we could instantly see what the buyers wanted and their valuations of our home. This and JP's reassurances, gave us the confidence to keep going each week and take the house to auction. On the day of the auction the goodwill and support from JP and all the team were exactly what we needed on the day. Only because of the amazing hard work of JP and his team did we achieve an amazing $100K over our reserve price! Of course we were absolutely ecstatic about our house sale, but what we will take away with us was the sheer joy and satisfaction that JP felt for us in our achievement. When you talk about going 'above and beyond', I can't begin to describe what JP did for our family. Anyone can sell a home but it takes a special person to make a dream come true! I used the word 'genuine' in my first paragraph and now it feels like an understatement as I recall the last 5weeks. My husband isn't big on words but he said to me afterwards, 'We made the best decision ever choosing those guys!' And I can't say better than that!

Mosaic Ave, The Ponds.

My sister and I decided to sell our property in The Ponds in January-February 2017. After meeting with several other real estate agents we decided to meet with JP from Richardson and Wrench, Bella Vista. Our initial meeting was comfortable, professionally outstanding and extremely informative. JP explained every detail explicitly, so individuals such as ourselves with no prior experience in selling a house could easily understand our options and all the different factors involved. In addition, his sincerity and honesty ensured us that we would be accommodated for in every aspect of our sale. The initial meeting with JP made both of us extremely comfortable and confident, helping us make the easy decision on choosing Richardson and Wrench to sell our property. The process with JP as our agent was unbelievably easy. He was always in constant communicate with us. Every conversation, phone call or meeting was relaxed, professional and comfortable. Six days on the market and one open home later and our property was sold! We were blown away by the hard work JP put into selling our property. He exceeded all of our expectations from price to experience. Overall, his skills go beyond the definition of what it means to be a real estate agent. We would proudly recommend his services to anyone wanting to buy or sell a property. In the future if we ever need to sell, buy, invest or rent we can confidently say we would seek JP’s advice and help. We not only chose a great agent but we now have a life long friend out of an experience we will never forget. Thank you. Sellers; Ivanna and Bianca.

SALE OF 14 SPRINGFIELD CRESCENT, BELLA VISTA

My wife and I would highly recommend Jayaprakash (JP) to sell your home. He and his team exceeded our expectations at every point. From the first contact we were impressed by the manner in which JP carried out the task that we set him. We have appreciated a number of specific elements about JP's approach to the sale. I would particularly mention: He explained our options and provided good advice without pressuring us to adopt a particular approach. He set out a coherent strategy and campaign plan that gave us confidence in the process and his team's ability to achieve a successful outcome. He provided recommendations on how the property should be presented in a courteous and sensitive way and provided recommendations on tradesmen when requested. Importantly we appreciated that he didn’t try to get us to spend a fortune when it wasn’t necessary. We feel we received great impartial advice and we felt confident following that advice.  He kept appointments with us meticulously without fail. We really appreciated that we could rely on him to turn up at the agreed time for every appointment. We were kept informed every step of the way and provided detailed reports of buyer feedback. We know he worked very hard to get us the best price. He achieved $50,000 above the top of the estimated range when we know that there were lower offers that could have been recommended to us to accept. JP also recommended that we use property staging. The company we chose did a great job in presenting our home in its best light. I was originally skeptical that they could really add value, but we accepted JP's recommendation to talk to them and I’m very glad we did. Not only did they give our home a new element of style, I really think it altered the impression that people would have had compared to the way it looked before. At all times, we felt that JP and his team were on our side, that we could rely on him to exercise your professionalism and expertise for our benefit.

Review of my estate agent

Mr. Jayaprakash Gowda has presented his high quality of profession in the sale of my property, as a customer in this case, me and my wife both feel very comfortable and secured in negotiation process, and we are quite happy and satified with the good result from the sale. We have drafted a Letter of Appreciation for Mr. Jayaprakash Gowda and his team in RandW ; Dear JP & Steven, Taking off a big rock from our heart at last, that is what I can describe Margaret and my feelings right after the completion of the sale of our property. Frankly speaking, it is our first time to sell a house or rather a home in Australia, we have no idea at all of how to do this and you are the right guys we chose of the several real estate agents we had interviewed. The whole process of sale in the method of auction was so successful, just as you demonstrated to us that we can close the sale with acceptable and satisfied figures before the auction, and that is what we have reached with your professional guidance. We would also like to point out that with your brilliant service and diligent attitude in doing the job until last moment concluded in a selling price with $40k higher than what we expected from the market, this is a big surprise and an extra bonus to us. Margaret and I would like to express our appreciation to all the efforts from you and hope our experience can help the other people who will be doing business with you in the near future and wish you a happy Christmas and prosperous New Year. Margaret & Philip

Testimonial

Testimonial 8th November 2016 To Whom it May Concern I first met Jayaprakash Gowda (JP) some 18 months ago when after just selling a nearby property for a record price he was doing some cold calling in the area, seeking other people who were interested in selling their property. My wife Karen and I had recently started looking at property on the Central Coast, and I explained to JP that we were thinking of moving, not in a hurry but would need to sell our house once we have found the right "new" home for us. JP was OK with that and said if it was alright with us he would keep in contact, until the time came to sell. He did do so, importantly without being intrusive, and so when we found another house, and now in the need for a real estate agent to sell our house, he amongst a few other agents was included in our consideration as to who to go with. In the end happily we chose JP as our agent, even though he had moved to another agency in another area, his professional demeanour and of course his persistence made him stand out from the other contenders. Our house was sold for a good price in just over a week after listing. I believe that selling your home is always going to a very stressful time, however the decision to go with JP and Richardson & Wrench Bella Vista, made the whole process as smooth and easy as possible, giving us a good result in a very short period of time. We would happily recommend JP and Richardson & Wrench Bella Vista, to anyone looking to sell their home. Sincerely, Glenn & Karen Haigh

Great result!

We would like to thank JP and Steven for the wonderful result achieved on the sale of our home at 10 Hamish Court Beaumont Hills. From the very beginning you took the time to properly explain our options for the sales campaign and provided similar support throughout. The regular written vendor reports you provided gave us an immediate understanding of the market opinion of our property, as well as an indication of the market price point of our property. In the end you achieved a sale price of $1,300,000, which was about $50,000 higher than we expected based on the market feedback that we had received. JP, we would have no hesitation in recommending you and Richardson & Wrench Bella Vista to any prospective vendor. Melanie and Nathan Cowie

37 Cookson Place

At the end of May 2016 I answered a knock at my door to Jayaprakash (JP) who was enquiring if I was thinking of selling my property. We had quite a long conversation and I told him that I wanted to sell and relocate to the South Coast but as my son was getting married in July and then going overseas for 2 months I did not want to go to market until he got back. JP stayed in touch, without being intrusive, contacting me when he said he would. When I was ready to sell JP came to my house with Steven, his principal, and presented his action plan to get the best possible price for me. At that time I had narrowed my choice of selling agent down to JP and another agency. After listening to JP & Steven I felt that JP would fight harder to get me the best possible price and I signed with R&W Bella Vista. I have to say it was the best decision I could have made. Not only did JP get me a buyer within 1 and half weeks of going on the market he got me an exceptional price. It was well over what I was hoping for and I could not be more pleased with the result. I also commend JP & Steven on their professionalism and understanding of my needs during what for me was a stressful time. JP was there to hold my hand through the whole process and I can’t thank him enough. I have no hesitation in recommending JP and R&W Bella Vista to anyone who is selling their property and who wants to get the best possible price. They will truly work in your best interests.

Exceeded all expectations

We are very pleased that JP handled the sale of first property. As new home owners we were very particular in choosing the right agent to represent our first sale. The decision to choose Richardson and Wrench, and in particular JP, was very easy. JP was very honest, professional and he exceeded our expectations whilst making our sale as stress-free as possible. As a seller all we had to do was trust our agent and my wife and I can easily say that it was very easy to trust JP as he was frank and let his work ethic do the talking. And with that we were able to sell $30,000 over market value. We are very happy with our result and we will recommend JP at Richardson and Wrench Bella Vista to everyone.
