Hi Darren,

On behalf of the Fitzpatrick family, I thank you for your work in assisting with the sale of the family home at 57 Alexandra Street, Greensborough. The result we obtained far exceeded the expectations of the family and it is a credit to you and your team at Darren Jones for the final result.

We all appreciated the regular reports you made following each open house and the contact you made with propsective buyers to gauge their level of interest.

Regards, Susan & Des Fitzpatrick

To Daniel, Darren Jones and staff,

Thank you for all your support throughout the selling of my house at Gabonia Avenue. The service you gave once I handed my keys over to you was great.

I trusted you every step of the way until the house was sold.

Darren Jones Real Estate did a great job in selling my house.

The result was much more than expected. It was the most exciting day for myself and family. The 24th April will be with me forever!

Thank you once again for all your service from open days until auction day. It was very well managed.

PS - thanks Daniel for all your help and keeping in touch – very much appreciated.

Regards P J Marx

Darren.

You have answered all my questions. Thank you again.

Just some positive feedback to pass onto the boys.

- Initial meeting with Tom and Steve to talk about possible selling and rental options was precise, clear facts presented and realistic outcome view was given. No false hopes and promises.

- Follow up from both Steve and Tom was consistent but also not in a forceful manner which ensured I would not be deterred by their approach.

- On the day of sign up both yourself and Steve provided a true approach which sold us.

- During the campaign trail Steve ensured he called me after every open house to provide us with an update.

- Any questions asked to Steve were answered precise and within a timely manner.

- Steve’s honesty and realistic approach to the campaign provided us comfort and confidence throughout the 4 week process.

- Tom also contacted me today to congratulate us.

I cannot fault any of the work your team did for us and congratulate you guys on a job well done.

I would have no hesitation into recommending Darren Jones firm to any friends and family should another situation pop up where we are either buying or selling a property.

Thankyou again.

Kind Regards Tony Kolokythas .

Dear Darren

As you are aware, I was charged with the responsibility to sell a house in Greensborough as part of my duties being executor of a deceased estate.

I followed a comprehensive process –.

(1) had the home assessed by a local sworn valuer selected by a legal firm.

(2) interviewed five agents for the suitability to undertake the task.

(3) did not reveal the sworn valuation to any of the participating agents.

Following this, selected your organisation to undertake the auction process being satisfied your team were the most experienced and from other external checks was assured you "had a very good track record".

We elected to add an additional week to what we thought was essential advertising (suggested by you).

My wife and I attended several open days unannounced and were delighted with the approach and fair technique as your staff handled some difficult questions regarding the home in question.

We were concerned when the property "two doors down" was unexpectedly advertised for auction two weeks before our planed timing and cited a reserve of $47,500 below the sworn valuations I had obtained.

This became an even bigger concern as

a) the other house had an additional bedroom

b) the position of the other home was equal to or better

The outcome was especially pleasing to the beneficiaries as –

1) your organisation exceeded the sworn valuation by $74,500 or 20.4%.

2) the price realised was $452,000 and was $22,000 or 5.1% above the neighbour’s result.

3) even after the home was sold you organised the replacement of fire alarm batteries.

Darren, you and your team have done an exceptional job.

Please accept my sincerest thanks

Dear Mr Jones,

I first entered the real estate market approximately 6 years ago when I bought my first home. During that time, I inspected approximately 50+ houses over a 12 month period and would have come across 20+ real estate agents. It is fair to say that I witnessed the best and worst in your profession.

The best real estate agent I dealt with was Ashley Croall from your organisation. His patience, honesty and integrity (and I certainly tested it!) during the buying process were first class. Ashley would always ensure that I was only visiting premises that met my requirements hence avoid wasting the vendors and my time.

When it became time to sell my house, the decision was easy. If Ashley Croall was still in the profession, he was the best person I would trust with my greatest asset.

As you can appreciate, selling your house can be a very stressful time. In dealing with Ashley, he was able to clearly articulate realistic expectations and provide me with choices to ensure that I was comfortable in making informed decisions.

As you are aware, in the selling process, you engage with the real estate agency not just the person. We found the staff at Darren Jones Real Estate to be professional, courteous and friendly and operate in a strong team environment. All these factors are important ingredients to a successful marketing campaign – and we weren’t disappointed. We were able to sell our house within the first week of the campaign at a premium price.

My fiancé then immediately placed her house on the market with Ashley Croall and Darren Jones Real Estate. Once again we were not disappointed. We had a significant amount of people during the campaign and were able to sell at a premium price.

We have since found our dream home and look forward to the next phase of our lives. We would like to sincerely thank Ashley Croall, a credit to his profession and your team for their excellent service. I have absolutely no reservation in recommending Ashley Croall and Darren Jones Real Estate in buying or selling properties.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the sale of our house (within a couple of days of listing!) and achieving the price we were hoping for. An excellent result enabling us to purchase our new home in Doreen.

Your professionalism and assistance (nothing being too much trouble) during the sale and purchase of both properties has been very much appreciated.

We would not hesitate in recommending Darren Jones Real Estate to anyone considering entering the property market.

Kindest regards

Peter and Joanne Lardner

Dear Darren

We would like to thank you and your team for the fantastic job you did in selling our home in Plenty River Drive.

Obviously, the speed with which you sold our home (2 days) and the excellent price you negotiated on our behalf both astounded and impressed us. We know that this great result was largely due to the efforts of you and your team in bringing our home to the attention of so many prospective buyers.

We would like to take this opportunity to recommend Darren Jones Real Estate to anyone wishing to sell their home. The partnership approach that Darren developed with us, combined with his integrity and sound advice, made for a positive selling experience.

Yours sincerely

 

Anna and Alex Thomas

We would sincerely like to thank Daniel Leibowitz, sales consultant at Darren Jones Greensborough. We were very fortunate to find such an honest, friendly and extremely professional person who made it such a delight to deal with.

Buying or selling a home can be quite stressful in itself but Daniel made it so much easier. He was always very helpful and kept us informed of what was happening.

I would most definitely recommend Daniel to anybody who is in search of an agent that makes a difference with his approach and expertise.

Yours faithfully, Anna and Alex Thomas
