“I wanted to secure a property for investment purposes and sought advice from John.  John made himself available to assist and asked me a series of questions regarding my short and long term objectives in purchasing the property.  He then negotiated directly with the Vendor’s agent on my behalf and persuaded the vendors to take the property off the market one day before auction after making an offer which was well within my budget. I cannot thank him enough for his prompt and professional advice and assistance.”

“From the moment we had dealings with John he was very professional, knowledgeable, caring and re-assuring. He understood our situation and had thorough understanding of our needs and requirements.

Giving us information about market values in surrounding areas, profiles of recent property sales in the area we were interested in with comparisons of property sales and land values were all very helpful in enabling us to make informed and confident decisions.

Prior to our very stressful auction day, John explained his auction strategies and techniques that he would apply whilst working within our limits. Through his brilliance and abilities, he delivered our dream home at auction, and below what we were prepared to pay!

He was nothing short of brilliant, very calm, methodical and a great communicator.

“It was in the middle of winter at the peak of a Sydney buyers market that John helped me buy my first property. Now I’m the type of guy who feels uncomfortable bargaining over a TV from Jb-Hi Fi, so the thought of negotiating for a house was really scary. I came to John with a property in mind. He started the process by visiting the property with me, calmly but confidently asking the seller important questions while I did my best to pretend that I wasn’t excited by what I was liking about the house.

Next, John wrote up a detailed independent property evaluation, and then he walked me through the steps of how he reached his estimated property value. Importantly, he asked what features were most important to me, as he explained that we need to balance what I would value in a property with what the market would value as we came to agree on how much I was willing to pay.

John offered for me to do as little or as much face to face negotiating as I liked. Being the type of guy I am, I let him do it all. After a few days, I decided I wanted to make the offer. A few anxious nights followed as John worked behind the scenes. At around lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon, he called me letting me know that the seller had agreed to a price $30,000 below what I was willing to play. After I had thought about all the things I could do with the extra money I had just saved, John guided me step by step through all finalising the deal, as he recommended a building report, a pest report and a conveyancer who he knew he could trust.

The Sydney property market truly is intimidating. With John on your side, the market will become intimidated by you.”
