Agencies in Watsonia, VIC, 3087

Daniel and Elliot worked hard to ensure that the house was presented in the best possible light considering that it was in it's original 1960's decor and had only been repainted once in the intervening time. We had chosen Daniel and the Jellis Craig team because they were estimating a middle of the range sale price compared to the other agents we were considering. Through their marketing efforts, they managed to attract 60 attendees at the first open house. Attendances continued to remain above our expectations and by the week before the auction, Daniel and Elliot had at least 4 purchasers definitely keen to bid. Through their negotiating skills they had encouraged two of the parties to put in written offers approximately $200k higher than any other agent had suggested. Because the date for the auction was constrained by the AFL Grand Final there were going to be many auctions locally on that day. Daniel advised that we ran the risk that these and other potential bidders may have already made a commitment on another property, by the time it got to our scheduled auction time. He proposed a clever strategy of bringing forward our auction to late afternoon on the Wednesday. Although there was a risk of lack of interest because of the unconventional auction time, we saw the benefit and agreed to go ahead. Daniel and Elliot put in a huge effort in the days leading up to the auction, including door knocking lots of people living in the street and in adjacent streets. It paid off because it resulted in about 60 people turning up. In the end after vigorous bidding the property sold for nearly $300,000 more than we anticipated.

I’m very happy to recommend Darren Jones as a sales agent. He exceeded my expectations throughout the campaign and was genuine, steady, and professional from start to finish. At a time when many agents lean heavily on systems, scripts, and process, Darren brings a more traditional approach, he simply gets on with the job. He hustles, works buyer interest properly, and stays focused on the fundamentals that actually sell property. As someone who works in real estate myself, I’m conscious of how sales processes are often handled, and I never once felt “worked” or managed. Darren was direct, honest, and straightforward, which I genuinely appreciated. He put the effort in where it mattered, generating interest, maintaining momentum, and keeping communication clear and practical throughout the campaign. He was also well supported by his team, including Jess and Ashley Croall as auctioneer, which added energy without losing control of the process. If you’re looking for an experienced agent who knows his craft, works hard, and is genuinely good to deal with, I would confidently recommend Darren and his team.

Renato went above and beyond to secure the property for us.

Brett, Ash and Kaylah helped me navigate selling a property for the first time. They were transparent, proactive with their communication and they keep you informed at every step of the way. Darren, the auctioneer, was absolutely fantastic. They are a great team and you can ask them anything without feeling silly! Thank you!

We recently sold our home with Tom Price from Barry Plant Bundoora and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Tom was professional, honest, knowledgeable, and kept us informed every step of the way throughout the entire campaign. His communication was outstanding, and he made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. Tom worked incredibly hard to achieve a fantastic result for our home, and we truly appreciated his dedication, transparency, and genuine care throughout the sale. We highly recommend Tom Price and the team at Barry Plant Bundoora to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you again for all your hard work and support!

Lucas of Morrison Kleeman Eltham and his team, Christian and Lucy were fabulous to deal with. A schedule of dates was provided for the smooth coordination of photography, floorplan and copywriting services along with open day dates etc. Our property was marketed well with 25 interested parties attending on the first open day. Subsequent open days were also very pleasing. Updates and feedback following the open days were relayed not only by phone, but in an email report format as well. Our aim was to sell at auction and although our property was passed in, in the morning, Lucas' tireless efforts and negotiations with one of the prospective buyers accomplished a pleasing sale by the afternoon. We would choose Lucas again if we needed to sell in the future.

Hands on service with specific advice on maximising the sale value. Intuitive understanding of maximising value without overcapitalising on renovations.
