Absolute pleasure to deal with. John gave us some great advice on preparing the property for sale and was understanding when our circumstances changed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is interested in buying or selling property.
I found John extremely professional in his dealings with me and very knowledgeable about the market.
John is honest, professional and made the process of buying a property at auction in this stressful market extremely easy. He went above and beyond for us, provided great insight to the local property market, was so helpful with the auction process and ensuring a smooth transition for the vendor and the buyer. John also helped with our solicitor to get the contract of sale reviewed as a priority prior to auction. I will without a doubt be using John when we sell our next property!!
After a year of searching for our first home, feeling despondent by unrealistic price guides, John's no-BS approach was a breath of fresh air. He was generous with his time and knowledge of the area and the property market. John answered all of our questions about the buying process and thanks to his clear processes and friendly demeanour, what can often be a stressful experience, was really pleasant. We would highly recommend John.
John went above and beyond to sell this property. With his professional and honest approach, John listened to our needs and worked with us to achieve an amazing result. Selling through John was an enjoyable experience. He put us at ease and we had 100% trust in him to achieve the result we were after. There wouldn't be anyone else I would trust more to sell our property then John O'Reilly. If you are looking to sell your house, don't waste your time shopping around to other agents, call John.
John is thorough in all aspects of real estate dealings. It is easy to conduct business with John. John is well versed in his business, he communicates well with both vendor and buyer, and regards both as his clients during property negotiations and subsequent arrangements.
He sold my property in a short time for a price I was more than happy. Thank you again John, you the best!!!!!!
We had Laurence Morgan Real Estate agent from Woonona John O'Reilly and we could not have found a better agent to sell our family home thank you for all the help. 10 out of 10.
We couldn’t have found a better real estate agent than John. Following a chance meeting at an alternate property within our complex, John provided a relaxed but action focussed approach to selling property. It was this approach that made us link with John when it was our turn to sell. He understands buyers, how they think, and what they are looking for and doesn’t waste time in showing properties that don’t fit their requirements. John also provides sellers with key hints and tips to assist the sale of their property in quick fashion. It was his guidance and our execution that allowed us to sell our property in less than a week, at a record price. During a difficult, extended settlement period on our property, John provided huge amounts of support and guidance, including late night/early morning phone calls to us on the other side of the world! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John to anyone looking to sell their property.
John had excellent knowledge of the past, present and future developments, in the near vicinity and surrounds. He also managed to make the transfers of contracts simple.
Although our sale could not have gone more wrong due to unforeseen complications with not only our block but also the neighbouring blocks, issues dating back as far as 100 years ago, John never gave up and went above and beyond the call of duty. No stone was left unturned by John and his team in search for a solution and we could not be happier with the result and service we received. John has a brilliant knowledge of the market and buyers and he kept us informed every step of the way. If you want 100% effort in the sale of your home, you only really have one option, and that is John O’Reilly and Laurence Morgan.Upon meeting John, we knew we wanted him as our agent. He was extremely knowledgeable with the real estate market and genuinely hardworking and driven towards achieving the best result. Would highly recommend Laurence Morgan Real Estate Agency to anyone. We were very happy with our sale price and all of John’s and his team’s hard work.
John is a credit to the real estate industry. We had a complicated purchase and John did everything in his power to make it smooth for both us and the vendors. He acted with integrity at all times, which - in our recent experience - is rare for an agent. John will be our first point of call for both future sales and purchases, and our family have said the same.
The sale went very smoothly. Much appreciate to John and his team for arranging trades people to gain access for the purpose of giving quotes on various jobs to be done. John is also very knowledgeable in the history of the property. Great team effort!
We first met John during our search for a retirement property at Thirroul. John’s energy and passion for what he does was the first thing that struck us. His affable manner soon put us at ease and his forthright assessment of the property we were looking at and its potential was practical and honest. John quickly picked up on what we were looking for and provided solid advice on the expected price range and our negotiations with the vendor. He certainly has an in-depth knowledge of the area and we could certainly recommend him as a man to have on your side if you are looking to buy on the Leisure Coast!
As "out of town" buyers we really appreciated Johns local knowledge, tips and he even shared a good spot to go for lunch while we were house hunting. He was super friendly and had all the information we needed off the top of his head. He was quick to assist us and we really appreciated all his help and in securing our dream property at such quick speed. Thanks so much John!
We were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of listing our family home with John in 2014. Our home went for auction and we achieved an incredible result that far exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail and immaculate communication meant that we were destined to succeed. To John and his team, no job was too big or too small. Every element of the sale, whether it was the photos, marketing material, open houses or the auction day itself, all these factors were handled with strong attention and 100% commitment. John you were fantastic to deal with and extremely professional. We have never had such a positive and successful sale of a property and we will continue to use your services for any future property sales. The advice John and his team gave us during this auction experience was invaluable. We are so thankful for all their hard work and the long hours spent on achieving this result for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Dear John, this letter is just to say thank you, to you and your family. You sacrificed a lot of time to sell my house in Bulli. I liked your professional approach and timely manner in which you conducted yourself. Advertising of my house was most impressive on the net. Your sincere approach and professional manner are a big asset to your firm. I am grateful to you, as time of sale was short and you managed to sell the house in that time. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody. Thankyou once again for everything. Your help was much appreciated.
Dear John, Terry and I would like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication in selling our house. We have never seen or experienced such support and dedication from any agent in selling a house before, and we have sold a few homes over the years. You should be commended on achieving the highest price possible we believe for our home. You continually kept us informed and were available day and night for calls from either of us. You certainly stepped outside the boundaries of normal office hours and expectations to meet us at times that were convenient to us, this was often midweek and late in the night. Terry is overseas and sends this message: Words cannot describe how much John went out of his way, often in his own time to help us prepare for the selling of our house. John and his team helped with plants on the weekends, moving furniture, design and style ideas. We truly believe that, if it wasn’t for their dedication and hard work, we would not have achieved the great outcome we did at the highest end of their recommended price range. John was spot on with everything he said, even up to recommending the best possible presentation for our house, never has a real estate agent done this in the past, truly rewarded us with a great sale price.
Coming from the UK and this being our first house purchase in Australia, we were incredibly grateful to John and the team for guiding us expertly through the whole process. The market conditions were still quite tough, and yet we have managed to find just the right property for our family, thanks to their guidance and market knowledge. A big thanks to John and his team.
Hands down, the best experience in real estate we have ever had. John and his team went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale of our home. They witnessed all the blood, sweat and tears that went into building this property, and they put just as much effort into the marketing and sale aspect. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the sale of our biggest asset. They displayed innovative ideas and approaches for marketing, and they showed patience and professionalism when dealing with ourselves as well as the buyers. If you want 100% effort in the sale of your home, you only really have one option, and that is Laurence Morgan.
John O'Reilly is absolutely amazing to deal with
We found John to be very professional and also a very down to earth person who worked tirelessly to sell our property. John has immense knowledge and experience in all facets of real estate, an excellent communicator who kept us informed every step of the way through the process of the sale. We highly recommend John O'Reilly from Laurence Morgan Real Estate and thank you for an outstanding effort for our family.
Absolutely the most driven agent we have come across. From before our campaign even began John went above and beyond to help us prepare our property for the market. From lending us his own personal outdoor setting to meeting with potential buyers at 9 o'clock at night, he did nothing but strive to get the best result for us. John's communication skills are faultless and we have him to thank for being able to move into the next chapter of our lives in the best position possible. Thank you, John and your team, for all of your amazing hard work. In the end you produced a happy buyer and an ecstatic vendor and we could not have asked for more from you
Laurence Morgan Woonona and the stellar work of both John O’Reilly and his assistant made our home purchase worth every cent. Their approach of being highly professional yet super-relaxed made the stress and anxiety of dealing with the ‘process’ melt away. So thankful for their personal attention which was just as strong during settlement as it was during the campaign. Thank you, we were lucky to come across you.
We found John to be extremely passionate and committed to us the client. His advice was sound and communicated with us well at all times during the sale. We would be happy to use John again.
We found John and his assistant very friendly, helpful and professional in all our dealings with them both. We were very happy with the presentation of the paperwork on the sale of the property. John has been in touch with us since the settlement and we would be only too happy to recommend your agency to our friends. Thanking you.
If you want to buy or sell contact John and his team. Their service is professional, helpful and always pleasant. I wish all other agents were like them.
John was always attentive, efficient, driven and very pleasant to deal with. The market was buoyant when I sold and as such John was juggling multiple properties and working very long hours. Even in that environment I still always felt like his most important client. A number of unexpected personal matters of mine complicated the sale but John was not phased just compassionate and professional. I have no hesitation recommending John to both sellers and buyers.
We had watched the market for some time and closely followed what was going on in the northern suburbs and in the end, we decided to list our house with John. There were several reasons for this decision. We were impressed with the amount of property he was selling and the amount of people who were interested in each property. This gave us the confidence we were lacking to list with John. Once the decision was made we handed over our keys for a month and John and his team went to work seeking the best buyers for our home. There was no fuss or bother with open days. We were impressed with the team approach evident on every visit to their office. The end result exceeded our expectations. John and his team are the consummate professionals when it comes to property.
John proved to be a professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy agent. My dealings with him left me feeling that this guy is a professional who knows how to keep his client’s best interests at the forefront of his dealings.
John was lovely and very bubbly, and didn't seem use cliched tactics for the sale. It put faith back in us after a horror experience with an Austinmer agent.
This is not the first time we have used John and his team and once again they have managed to get us an amazing result. We have always found John to be honest, reliable and hard working. We believe these attributes are why we have had great results with our sales every time. We couldn't recommend John and the entire team highly enough. Thank you for all your hard work!!!! You will definitely be the first phone call we make when considering selling my next property.
John was the ultimate professional and left no stone unturned in selling my unit. His knowledge of the real estate industry and commitment to detail is amazing. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to sell their property.
John O'Reilly was highly recommended by my friend and on completion of the sale of my family home. I am still very happy with my choice. The sale achieved the price range I wanted and was concluded so fast and efficient that I was even spared the stress of house inspections. I would recommend John O'Reilly to anyone willing to sell their homes.
John was incredibly informative, with clear and current information throughout the entire process of selling our property. He offered statistics to help inform our decisions and was always available to discuss options. John worked tirelessly to get us the result we wanted. His dedication to selling our property went above and beyond that of any we have experienced before. If you want an honest, dedicated to your need’s real estate agent, look no further.
We would definitely recommend John to any friends or family thinking of selling. John's market knowledge and negotiation skills were excellent and resulted in us achieving a price far beyond our expectations.
We are very glad we chose John to sell our house. He was incredibly easy, and enjoyable to deal with. His ideas for how to best present our property for sale were invaluable. He has a fantastic eye for detail, is extremely professional, and knows the markets he is selling so well. His energy is contagious, and his honesty and ‘tell-it-how it is’ approach took a lot of the stress out of the whole transaction process for us. His communication with us about the progress of the sales campaign was excellent. We were happy with the marketing campaign he ran for us, and with the effort and time he put into it. With his outgoing personality and negotiation skills second to none, our ultimate price was achieved in a short period of time. John went above and beyond what we have experienced previously with real estate agents. He made himself available to show the house on Sundays, in the evenings and at short notice. We were away at the time of sale and he arranged the cleaning, maintenance and presentation of the property to a very high standard. We are very impressed with him as a real estate agent, we cannot recommend him highly enough.
We sold our house with John earlier this year and cannot speak highly enough of John and his assistant. They were fun to deal with, but professional and diligent at the same time and made the whole process of selling our home easy and less stressful. I would have no hesitation in recommending John and his team to anyone thinking of selling.
In purchasing our new home, we found John to be professional, helpful and easy going.
John showed enthusiasm for our business endeavour from the beginning. Without prompting, he recognised and endorsed all the positives of our property. John clearly mapped the sales approach he envisioned and after our endorsement he made it happen. He knew what sort of clientele would be enraptured with our real estate offering and when they responded, John closed the deal which sounds simple but, in our opinion, takes an insightful agent to recognise and appropriately sell property. On top of all that, he is a nice bloke who obviously likes people. He is willing to listen and spend time with you. Based on our experience, it is without hesitation that we recommend John O'Reilly for real estate sales.
John and team recently sold our nan's house in Woonona. We can't recommend him highly enough. He was professional, friendly and clearly knew his business. He got us a better price than we expected and gave us the best advice for what we should do to help the house sell. John made a typically stressful situation incredibly easy, and was accommodating of our special circumstances. We would gladly use John's services again and would recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell.
John is a very courteous agent who has a great degree of knowledge of the real estate market.
Being a first home buyer and being in the market for so long to find the right house John made it easy and everything was communicated openly and transparent, was a very helpful and passionate person to talk to and handled all of our needs and requirements with ease.
I first met John when I was looking through one of his open houses. My unit was on the market with another agent. We got talking & he offered to have a look at why it may not be selling. John contacted me & offered some suggestions on how to make my unit more saleable. So, I eventually asked for his services & he went above & beyond to help me. Not only did the unit look great for advertising, it only lasted 1 month on the market. John managed to sell my unit with 2 others in the complex for sale & 1 of those was on the market for over $30,000 cheaper!! What a genius!!!! I was so impressed with John’s efforts & can’t thank him enough. You couldn’t find a more dedicated man to sell your home. Keep up the good work John. Thanks again!
John was lovely and very bubbly, and didn't seem use cliched tactics for the sale. It put faith back in us after a horror experience with an Austinmer agent.
My wife and I would like to thank John and his team for the excellent service and quick sale of our home. Everyone in the office did a fantastic job of promoting the sale and reassuring us that the sale was on track, with regular feedback and updates. John seemingly has the energy of ten men, and along with his vivacious personality and easy-going nature made him someone who was appealing to us and to potential buyers from the get go. He was always there to offer advice, even from the first moment, his attention to detail shone through at the early stages with recommendations on how best to present our home. He then spent hours with the photographer to present beautiful pictures for the internet as well as coloured flyers and full-page brochures that really showed the very best aspects of our home. At all stages throughout the sales period John was able to give regular advice and updates as to how the sale was progressing. Once our home was advertised on the internet, it was easy to see how hard John had worked behind the scenes, with many people arriving for our open house inspections. In fact, even before the first inspection John had been able to bring a large group of potential buyers through who were unavailable to attend on the opening weekend. His approach was relaxed and he never became overbearing or pushy. In the end, John was able to secure a buyer within the first week of advertisement and at a very pleasing price. We would have no hesitation in recommending John to other potential sellers. He is professional, energetic and very easy to like. Thank you for all of your efforts and good nature.
"John and the team at Laurence Morgan were very professional and we were so happy that we went with them to sell our home. John had extensive knowledge of the local area and the housing market. He has great attention to detail and nothing was ever a problem or too big of an ask. We could not recommend John more highly."
"John and his assistant were great to deal with. They ensured we had every opportunity to inspect the home, and John guided the sale negotiations with great professionalism. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and we'd certainly recommend this agency."
From the moment my partner and I first met John and his assistant we were amazed by the level of customer service and a genuine attitude of wanting to help us. John went above and beyond with what I believe would be the normal duties for an agent, and if it were with any other real estate I don't believe we would have got the house we wanted! As it was our first time buying a home - it is safe to say we were rookies with the process. From providing us with advice on the market, advice on brokers to just being a friendly face at the open houses. Both John and his team were helpful, informative, friendly and passionate about what they do. Thanks so much to everyone at Laurence Morgan, who helped us get our dream first home!
My wife and I were looking at properties for around six months so we dealt with a lot of agents. John was very friendly, patient and transparent which were traits we did not come across too often in our experience. When we decide to sell in the future, we would not hesitate in listing with John and his team.
We had never bought a property or attended an auction before. John literally held our hand, gave us great and simple advice and come auction day we had a blast. He managed all negotiations brilliantly and stayed with us until we got the house at the right price. He is enigmatic, warm, and you trust him. He has also kept in touch post purchase. A genuine guy who really cares about his clients and someone we hope continues to stay in touch.
Friendly, professional, attentive and informed but the added bonus that John brings to the sale of a property is the ability and willingness to project manage trades, quotes and renovations to the property before marketed for sale. Having attempted this, myself with a previous property it was an arduous, stressful task and even getting trades to turn up and quote (let alone fit in the job) was so difficult. John is wonderful and I wish I engaged him previously.
We recently inspected and purchased a property in Thirroul via John, his knowledge of the area we found extremely helpful, I believe that’s what sold us the property as we were solely buying location and John was the man to speak to; Having dealt with numerous agents over the last 30 years, John is certainly one that I would be more than happy to recommend to both vendors and purchasers. John’s knowledge, attitude and love for his career and dealing with the public is evident and an asset to all.
John worked extremely hard on our auction campaign. He is a very genuine agent who had our best interests at heart always. The communication was second to none and we could not have been happier with our amazing result! We will highly recommend John to our family and friends.
"John was great in helping us buy our first home. He is very friendly, extremely helpful and he responds quickly to any questions or queries."
"John was fantastic to work with! John made the process of buying my first home so simple and put me at ease every step of the way. He was always honest, extremely approachable and had an impressive knowledge of the property market for the local area. John answered all my questions and had excellent communication skills."
"John has achieved great sales results for many friends and we are extremely pleased that we chose him to sell our home. He guided us through the entire process with professionalism ensuring we received regular updates and comprehensive advice in a timely manner. He worked tirelessly to achieve a great result with unwavering enthusiasm and commitment. John and the team at Laurence Morgan have been a pleasure to deal with and thoroughly recommend them."
"Right from the beginning, John outlined to us exactly what the market was doing and what he proposed to do for us. He was always realistic but extremely positive and supportive. It was a first-time experience for us as we were selling our family home of 26 years, but we had 100% confidence in John's methods and abilities. John guided us through every stage, always patient and available for our questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. John went above and beyond what we expected. John's energy and attention to detail are amazing. He kept us informed all along the way, directing us to necessary professionals when we encountered a few problems and kept following up until everything was sorted. His staff were always available and supportive, completely aware of everything happening. John has made the whole experience a wonderful success."
John and his assistant were fantastic helping us purchase our first property. The communication they used made it easy and less stressful with the whole process. We definitely would recommend John and the team to anyone considering to use them in the future.
John had excellent knowledge of the past, present and future developments, in the near vicinity and surrounds. He also managed to make the transfers of contracts simple. He and assistant were also very helpful with any post sale discussions.
John was a terrific sales agent. Very attentive with his responses when liaising. His knowledge of the local area and the current market was very helpful when deciding to purchase. I would highly recommend John to any seller.
John was great to deal with. He has sold a few properties for us now and we keep returning because of his professionalism and prompt actions. Highly recommend.
John’s knowledge of the market far exceeded any expectations. From our first meeting he was up front and honest about the whole process and how we would go about things. His communication throughout was second to none and his planning helped to achieve a great result and I would highly recommend John to anyone thinking about selling.
John is an excellent communicator. I felt like I knew what was happening with my property at every stage.
This is the 3rd property we have sold with John. His communication is impeccable, always goes above and beyond. His knowledge of the market is outstanding. He was with us every step of the way and always makes this stressful time in selling a house, easy and manageable. Thankyou John for your professionalism and getting the job done with class.
After only buying my property off John via an auction in which was an absolute peak market, I decided quickly that it was not the location for me and my plans long term about where I wanted to live had changed. When I discussed this with John he was great straight away and insisted I take some time to really think if this was the right choice. He was great at listening to me and understanding my motivation for wanting to sell and never once pushed me into listing it. I always felt comfortable with John and I could really see apart from the fact he is a real estate agent it was apparent he really wants to help people and he really cares about his clients. I was previously one of those people who always thought real estate agents were sneaky and all about the bottom dollar but John totally changed my mind and changed my perception of that. When my property first went on the market the market was slowing as Christmas was approaching and I had nonstop rain at my open homes, I felt very discouraged. John didn’t talk me into accepting a low offer. He talked me through the benefit of taking it off the market until the New Year and things picked up. He advised me the exact time to put it back on the market and some changes at my house (which including him turning up after hours with a truck and a co-worker and moving and storing all my excess furniture at his friend’s house). I realised his experience in the industry really shone through in his knowledge and advice and his ideas were spot on! Anyway, after only a week or so John secured me a great price and lead me through the process in a fashion I felt comfortable with and supported the whole time. A lot of people say selling a house is one of the most stressful things in life and I agree it can be and I have brought and sold a number of times here and overseas, but without a doubt I can say overall, I really had a faultless campaign and a great result thanks purely to John.
Having purchased just recently in the Illawarra area for the first time, it was very refreshing to find an agent who was both professional and honest and who had a sense of humour. Even though his client was the vendor, John kept us informed throughout the process of purchasing the property and is still assisting post purchase. We can't rate him high enough.
John went above and beyond when seeking my property. He was very easy to work with and I'd recommend him to anyone ready to sell their property. You will be in great hands!
John is a superstar!! We were looking for an honest, professional and experienced agent. John certainly ticked these boxes from the very first time we spoke. John is very friendly, hardworking, has fabulous negotiation skills and excellent communication skills and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He took extra measures to ensure our sale goal was met, and no hidden disappointments. We are extremely happy with the outcome, thanks to John! You won't find another agent like John.
The way John and his team handled themselves through the process of selling our house was first class. John's knowledge of the market was spot on, ensuring we got the sale we wanted. Special mention to his team that support him, they worked their butts off.
Had the pleasure of dealing with John both as a buyer and seller when it came to our Woonona property - having first introduced the place to me some 9 years ago. John provides sound, in depth advice without the expected spin. Appreciated his down to earth approach - staying the course and maintaining our confidence in a dynamic and changing marketplace. Would have no issue recommending John to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Illawarra.
This is the second time we have sold through John and we would not hesitate using him again in the future. His knowledge of the local market conditions and superior negotiating skills are on another level to others in the industry. John’s integrity and genuine care for his clients are also attributes that separate him from the pack. Two life changing sales results! Thanks again John.
John is a pro in all aspects of his trade.
Knowledgeable, positive, energetic, caring and friendly are the words best used to describe John O’Reilly. It was a fortunate day for us when we employed John to sell our home. The condition we made was that he finds a ‘magic villa’ for us. To this end he applied all his skills and high energy doing letter-box drops and sourcing out other agents, and he soon found many for us to inspect. When we settled on one, his professional marketing strategies and hard work soon sold our home. When hiccups occurred during the sale and purchase process, John was always there to support us with his calm and encouraging manner. Our faith in his ability was justified when he successfully secured the sale of our home and we obtained the ‘magic villa’ we had been searching for. We have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone who wishes to have a successful outcome in the buying/selling process of real estate. He is a high-energy personality with a human touch that makes the process of buying or selling a home painless. We both wish him really well.
It has been our extreme pleasure in dealing with John O’Reilly. It was obvious to us that John gave us every opportunity to achieve the very best of service when selling our home. From our initial meeting with John, we felt very comfortable in his presence and knew immediately that he was the man who would work to achieve the very best result for us. John is a warm, caring man, who when working for a client, treats that client with the utmost respect that the client deserves. He is a man who is well groomed, dresses impeccably and his self-presentation reveals just that. His work ethic is extremely high. The presentation for the sale of our home was nothing short of first class, from the signage at the front of our home to the brochures presented to clients, as well as excellent advertisements on the internet. We have no hesitation in recommending John O’Reilly as a first-class real estate agent with the knowledge that he will achieve the very best possible result for his client. If ever we need to buy or sell any home in the future, it will be John O’Reilly whom we will seek to conduct our business.
I could not be more pleased and could not speak more highly of John and his support team. From the get go, we knew the sale of our townhouse was in knowledgeable hands and every step of the way we were provided with clear and honest communication and feedback. Throughout the campaign I was also highly impressed with the communication they provided to perspective buyers. The level of professional and dedication was simply outstanding, both agents always gave 100% to work towards the best outcome possible. John was able to achieve a result beyond our expectations and this was made possible through the sheer determination and hard work.
On behalf of my elderly parents, I had to sell their house quickly as they had entered nursing homes and money was required to pay dad's deposit. I contacted John because he had impressed my mother when giving a valuation some years earlier. He was on holidays, but in the local area, and came straight away. During his holidays he organised the advertising, signage and contacted prospective buyers, and our house was open for the first selling weekend of the year. About eight couples saw the house on that day, we got an offer within two days and the house was sold three days after the open house, for considerably more than we had expected. And an early settlement was agreed, which meant we could pay the nursing home deposit in time. John had a brilliant knowledge of the market and buyers. He kept me informed every step of the way so that the whole process was smooth and not stressful. He also kept in touch with my parents so they felt included. As I was packing up, clearing out and cleaning a house with 50 years of possessions, it meant a lot to me to have that kind of peace of mind. John made everything easy and certainly demonstrated how right I was to have confidence in him. If I have another Wollongong property to sell I'd go straight to John.
After speaking with several real estate agents, we immediately felt confident that John was the agent we trusted to sell our property. John’s wealth of knowledge and experience paired with his warm and professional manner made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. John kept in regular contact with us, well beyond business hours, to ensure we were well-informed and up to date as things progressed. Going above and beyond what we expected from an agent, John’s drive and dedication is second to none. We felt confident we could trust John and his team to get the best possible price for our property and are absolutely delighted with the final result.
I found the whole process like a ‘walk in the park’, there was no stress in the process at all. John and the team were exceptionally efficient, down to earth and ‘fun to be around’
From the first chat on the phone to John to let him know we wanted to sell, it was all systems go. He met with the tenants straight away, organised trades to fix up the place, marketing arranged same day, campaign started within 10 days (post house fix-ups) and then 5 offers in less than 5 days. John called me every day with an update and took care of everything. He even went to the trouble of getting his assistant, to drive 40 minutes to a midway point so we could get contracts signed in one day (me being in Sydney CBD). Absolutely amazing experience and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to pull this off in record time. Add to this the fact that I knew John had my back and would be the ideal negotiator. I also really appreciated his boundless enthusiasm, energy, sense of humour and professionalism. The end results speak for themselves - we couldn't have hoped for a better result but when John sets his mind to something you are guaranteed to get the best outcome. I would recommend John in a heartbeat to sell your property or to buy from (I've done both).
There is so much to say about John and his staff. For my husband and myself they went way beyond what you would expect of a real estate agent. He and his team are trustworthy and genuine and really care about their clients. Our experience with John and his team has been excellent and we would go back again if we ever sold or wanted to buy. He and his team are pleasant and caring and make the stressful emotional path of buying and selling a lot easier thank you so much John. Also, John’s knowledge of real estate in the Northern Suburbs it's second-to-none.
Absolute pleasure to deal with. John gave us some great advice on preparing the property for sale and was understanding when our circumstances changed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is interested in buying or selling property.
I found John extremely professional in his dealings with me and very knowledgeable about the market.
John is honest, professional and made the process of buying a property at auction in this stressful market extremely easy. He went above and beyond for us, provided great insight to the local property market, was so helpful with the auction process and ensuring a smooth transition for the vendor and the buyer. John also helped with our solicitor to get the contract of sale reviewed as a priority prior to auction. I will without a doubt be using John when we sell our next property!!
After a year of searching for our first home, feeling despondent by unrealistic price guides, John's no-BS approach was a breath of fresh air. He was generous with his time and knowledge of the area and the property market. John answered all of our questions about the buying process and thanks to his clear processes and friendly demeanour, what can often be a stressful experience, was really pleasant. We would highly recommend John.
John went above and beyond to sell this property. With his professional and honest approach, John listened to our needs and worked with us to achieve an amazing result. Selling through John was an enjoyable experience. He put us at ease and we had 100% trust in him to achieve the result we were after. There wouldn't be anyone else I would trust more to sell our property then John O'Reilly. If you are looking to sell your house, don't waste your time shopping around to other agents, call John.
John is thorough in all aspects of real estate dealings. It is easy to conduct business with John. John is well versed in his business, he communicates well with both vendor and buyer, and regards both as his clients during property negotiations and subsequent arrangements.
He sold my property in a short time for a price I was more than happy. Thank you again John, you the best!!!!!!
We had Laurence Morgan Real Estate agent from Woonona John O'Reilly and we could not have found a better agent to sell our family home thank you for all the help. 10 out of 10.
We couldn’t have found a better real estate agent than John. Following a chance meeting at an alternate property within our complex, John provided a relaxed but action focussed approach to selling property. It was this approach that made us link with John when it was our turn to sell. He understands buyers, how they think, and what they are looking for and doesn’t waste time in showing properties that don’t fit their requirements. John also provides sellers with key hints and tips to assist the sale of their property in quick fashion. It was his guidance and our execution that allowed us to sell our property in less than a week, at a record price. During a difficult, extended settlement period on our property, John provided huge amounts of support and guidance, including late night/early morning phone calls to us on the other side of the world! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John to anyone looking to sell their property.
John had excellent knowledge of the past, present and future developments, in the near vicinity and surrounds. He also managed to make the transfers of contracts simple.
Although our sale could not have gone more wrong due to unforeseen complications with not only our block but also the neighbouring blocks, issues dating back as far as 100 years ago, John never gave up and went above and beyond the call of duty. No stone was left unturned by John and his team in search for a solution and we could not be happier with the result and service we received. John has a brilliant knowledge of the market and buyers and he kept us informed every step of the way. If you want 100% effort in the sale of your home, you only really have one option, and that is John O’Reilly and Laurence Morgan.Upon meeting John, we knew we wanted him as our agent. He was extremely knowledgeable with the real estate market and genuinely hardworking and driven towards achieving the best result. Would highly recommend Laurence Morgan Real Estate Agency to anyone. We were very happy with our sale price and all of John’s and his team’s hard work.
John is a credit to the real estate industry. We had a complicated purchase and John did everything in his power to make it smooth for both us and the vendors. He acted with integrity at all times, which - in our recent experience - is rare for an agent. John will be our first point of call for both future sales and purchases, and our family have said the same.
The sale went very smoothly. Much appreciate to John and his team for arranging trades people to gain access for the purpose of giving quotes on various jobs to be done. John is also very knowledgeable in the history of the property. Great team effort!
We first met John during our search for a retirement property at Thirroul. John’s energy and passion for what he does was the first thing that struck us. His affable manner soon put us at ease and his forthright assessment of the property we were looking at and its potential was practical and honest. John quickly picked up on what we were looking for and provided solid advice on the expected price range and our negotiations with the vendor. He certainly has an in-depth knowledge of the area and we could certainly recommend him as a man to have on your side if you are looking to buy on the Leisure Coast!
As "out of town" buyers we really appreciated Johns local knowledge, tips and he even shared a good spot to go for lunch while we were house hunting. He was super friendly and had all the information we needed off the top of his head. He was quick to assist us and we really appreciated all his help and in securing our dream property at such quick speed. Thanks so much John!
We were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of listing our family home with John in 2014. Our home went for auction and we achieved an incredible result that far exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail and immaculate communication meant that we were destined to succeed. To John and his team, no job was too big or too small. Every element of the sale, whether it was the photos, marketing material, open houses or the auction day itself, all these factors were handled with strong attention and 100% commitment. John you were fantastic to deal with and extremely professional. We have never had such a positive and successful sale of a property and we will continue to use your services for any future property sales. The advice John and his team gave us during this auction experience was invaluable. We are so thankful for all their hard work and the long hours spent on achieving this result for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Dear John, this letter is just to say thank you, to you and your family. You sacrificed a lot of time to sell my house in Bulli. I liked your professional approach and timely manner in which you conducted yourself. Advertising of my house was most impressive on the net. Your sincere approach and professional manner are a big asset to your firm. I am grateful to you, as time of sale was short and you managed to sell the house in that time. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody. Thankyou once again for everything. Your help was much appreciated.
Dear John, Terry and I would like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication in selling our house. We have never seen or experienced such support and dedication from any agent in selling a house before, and we have sold a few homes over the years. You should be commended on achieving the highest price possible we believe for our home. You continually kept us informed and were available day and night for calls from either of us. You certainly stepped outside the boundaries of normal office hours and expectations to meet us at times that were convenient to us, this was often midweek and late in the night. Terry is overseas and sends this message: Words cannot describe how much John went out of his way, often in his own time to help us prepare for the selling of our house. John and his team helped with plants on the weekends, moving furniture, design and style ideas. We truly believe that, if it wasn’t for their dedication and hard work, we would not have achieved the great outcome we did at the highest end of their recommended price range. John was spot on with everything he said, even up to recommending the best possible presentation for our house, never has a real estate agent done this in the past, truly rewarded us with a great sale price.
Coming from the UK and this being our first house purchase in Australia, we were incredibly grateful to John and the team for guiding us expertly through the whole process. The market conditions were still quite tough, and yet we have managed to find just the right property for our family, thanks to their guidance and market knowledge. A big thanks to John and his team.
Hands down, the best experience in real estate we have ever had. John and his team went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale of our home. They witnessed all the blood, sweat and tears that went into building this property, and they put just as much effort into the marketing and sale aspect. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the sale of our biggest asset. They displayed innovative ideas and approaches for marketing, and they showed patience and professionalism when dealing with ourselves as well as the buyers. If you want 100% effort in the sale of your home, you only really have one option, and that is Laurence Morgan.
John O'Reilly is absolutely amazing to deal with
We found John to be very professional and also a very down to earth person who worked tirelessly to sell our property. John has immense knowledge and experience in all facets of real estate, an excellent communicator who kept us informed every step of the way through the process of the sale. We highly recommend John O'Reilly from Laurence Morgan Real Estate and thank you for an outstanding effort for our family.
Absolutely the most driven agent we have come across. From before our campaign even began John went above and beyond to help us prepare our property for the market. From lending us his own personal outdoor setting to meeting with potential buyers at 9 o'clock at night, he did nothing but strive to get the best result for us. John's communication skills are faultless and we have him to thank for being able to move into the next chapter of our lives in the best position possible. Thank you, John and your team, for all of your amazing hard work. In the end you produced a happy buyer and an ecstatic vendor and we could not have asked for more from you
Laurence Morgan Woonona and the stellar work of both John O’Reilly and his assistant made our home purchase worth every cent. Their approach of being highly professional yet super-relaxed made the stress and anxiety of dealing with the ‘process’ melt away. So thankful for their personal attention which was just as strong during settlement as it was during the campaign. Thank you, we were lucky to come across you.
We found John to be extremely passionate and committed to us the client. His advice was sound and communicated with us well at all times during the sale. We would be happy to use John again.
We found John and his assistant very friendly, helpful and professional in all our dealings with them both. We were very happy with the presentation of the paperwork on the sale of the property. John has been in touch with us since the settlement and we would be only too happy to recommend your agency to our friends. Thanking you.
If you want to buy or sell contact John and his team. Their service is professional, helpful and always pleasant. I wish all other agents were like them.
John was always attentive, efficient, driven and very pleasant to deal with. The market was buoyant when I sold and as such John was juggling multiple properties and working very long hours. Even in that environment I still always felt like his most important client. A number of unexpected personal matters of mine complicated the sale but John was not phased just compassionate and professional. I have no hesitation recommending John to both sellers and buyers.
We had watched the market for some time and closely followed what was going on in the northern suburbs and in the end, we decided to list our house with John. There were several reasons for this decision. We were impressed with the amount of property he was selling and the amount of people who were interested in each property. This gave us the confidence we were lacking to list with John. Once the decision was made we handed over our keys for a month and John and his team went to work seeking the best buyers for our home. There was no fuss or bother with open days. We were impressed with the team approach evident on every visit to their office. The end result exceeded our expectations. John and his team are the consummate professionals when it comes to property.
John proved to be a professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy agent. My dealings with him left me feeling that this guy is a professional who knows how to keep his client’s best interests at the forefront of his dealings.
John was lovely and very bubbly, and didn't seem use cliched tactics for the sale. It put faith back in us after a horror experience with an Austinmer agent.
This is not the first time we have used John and his team and once again they have managed to get us an amazing result. We have always found John to be honest, reliable and hard working. We believe these attributes are why we have had great results with our sales every time. We couldn't recommend John and the entire team highly enough. Thank you for all your hard work!!!! You will definitely be the first phone call we make when considering selling my next property.
John was the ultimate professional and left no stone unturned in selling my unit. His knowledge of the real estate industry and commitment to detail is amazing. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to sell their property.
John O'Reilly was highly recommended by my friend and on completion of the sale of my family home. I am still very happy with my choice. The sale achieved the price range I wanted and was concluded so fast and efficient that I was even spared the stress of house inspections. I would recommend John O'Reilly to anyone willing to sell their homes.
John was incredibly informative, with clear and current information throughout the entire process of selling our property. He offered statistics to help inform our decisions and was always available to discuss options. John worked tirelessly to get us the result we wanted. His dedication to selling our property went above and beyond that of any we have experienced before. If you want an honest, dedicated to your need’s real estate agent, look no further.
We would definitely recommend John to any friends or family thinking of selling. John's market knowledge and negotiation skills were excellent and resulted in us achieving a price far beyond our expectations.
We are very glad we chose John to sell our house. He was incredibly easy, and enjoyable to deal with. His ideas for how to best present our property for sale were invaluable. He has a fantastic eye for detail, is extremely professional, and knows the markets he is selling so well. His energy is contagious, and his honesty and ‘tell-it-how it is’ approach took a lot of the stress out of the whole transaction process for us. His communication with us about the progress of the sales campaign was excellent. We were happy with the marketing campaign he ran for us, and with the effort and time he put into it. With his outgoing personality and negotiation skills second to none, our ultimate price was achieved in a short period of time. John went above and beyond what we have experienced previously with real estate agents. He made himself available to show the house on Sundays, in the evenings and at short notice. We were away at the time of sale and he arranged the cleaning, maintenance and presentation of the property to a very high standard. We are very impressed with him as a real estate agent, we cannot recommend him highly enough.
We sold our house with John earlier this year and cannot speak highly enough of John and his assistant. They were fun to deal with, but professional and diligent at the same time and made the whole process of selling our home easy and less stressful. I would have no hesitation in recommending John and his team to anyone thinking of selling.
In purchasing our new home, we found John to be professional, helpful and easy going.
John showed enthusiasm for our business endeavour from the beginning. Without prompting, he recognised and endorsed all the positives of our property. John clearly mapped the sales approach he envisioned and after our endorsement he made it happen. He knew what sort of clientele would be enraptured with our real estate offering and when they responded, John closed the deal which sounds simple but, in our opinion, takes an insightful agent to recognise and appropriately sell property. On top of all that, he is a nice bloke who obviously likes people. He is willing to listen and spend time with you. Based on our experience, it is without hesitation that we recommend John O'Reilly for real estate sales.
John and team recently sold our nan's house in Woonona. We can't recommend him highly enough. He was professional, friendly and clearly knew his business. He got us a better price than we expected and gave us the best advice for what we should do to help the house sell. John made a typically stressful situation incredibly easy, and was accommodating of our special circumstances. We would gladly use John's services again and would recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell.
John is a very courteous agent who has a great degree of knowledge of the real estate market.
Being a first home buyer and being in the market for so long to find the right house John made it easy and everything was communicated openly and transparent, was a very helpful and passionate person to talk to and handled all of our needs and requirements with ease.
I first met John when I was looking through one of his open houses. My unit was on the market with another agent. We got talking & he offered to have a look at why it may not be selling. John contacted me & offered some suggestions on how to make my unit more saleable. So, I eventually asked for his services & he went above & beyond to help me. Not only did the unit look great for advertising, it only lasted 1 month on the market. John managed to sell my unit with 2 others in the complex for sale & 1 of those was on the market for over $30,000 cheaper!! What a genius!!!! I was so impressed with John’s efforts & can’t thank him enough. You couldn’t find a more dedicated man to sell your home. Keep up the good work John. Thanks again!
John was lovely and very bubbly, and didn't seem use cliched tactics for the sale. It put faith back in us after a horror experience with an Austinmer agent.
My wife and I would like to thank John and his team for the excellent service and quick sale of our home. Everyone in the office did a fantastic job of promoting the sale and reassuring us that the sale was on track, with regular feedback and updates. John seemingly has the energy of ten men, and along with his vivacious personality and easy-going nature made him someone who was appealing to us and to potential buyers from the get go. He was always there to offer advice, even from the first moment, his attention to detail shone through at the early stages with recommendations on how best to present our home. He then spent hours with the photographer to present beautiful pictures for the internet as well as coloured flyers and full-page brochures that really showed the very best aspects of our home. At all stages throughout the sales period John was able to give regular advice and updates as to how the sale was progressing. Once our home was advertised on the internet, it was easy to see how hard John had worked behind the scenes, with many people arriving for our open house inspections. In fact, even before the first inspection John had been able to bring a large group of potential buyers through who were unavailable to attend on the opening weekend. His approach was relaxed and he never became overbearing or pushy. In the end, John was able to secure a buyer within the first week of advertisement and at a very pleasing price. We would have no hesitation in recommending John to other potential sellers. He is professional, energetic and very easy to like. Thank you for all of your efforts and good nature.
"John and the team at Laurence Morgan were very professional and we were so happy that we went with them to sell our home. John had extensive knowledge of the local area and the housing market. He has great attention to detail and nothing was ever a problem or too big of an ask. We could not recommend John more highly."
"John and his assistant were great to deal with. They ensured we had every opportunity to inspect the home, and John guided the sale negotiations with great professionalism. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and we'd certainly recommend this agency."
From the moment my partner and I first met John and his assistant we were amazed by the level of customer service and a genuine attitude of wanting to help us. John went above and beyond with what I believe would be the normal duties for an agent, and if it were with any other real estate I don't believe we would have got the house we wanted! As it was our first time buying a home - it is safe to say we were rookies with the process. From providing us with advice on the market, advice on brokers to just being a friendly face at the open houses. Both John and his team were helpful, informative, friendly and passionate about what they do. Thanks so much to everyone at Laurence Morgan, who helped us get our dream first home!
My wife and I were looking at properties for around six months so we dealt with a lot of agents. John was very friendly, patient and transparent which were traits we did not come across too often in our experience. When we decide to sell in the future, we would not hesitate in listing with John and his team.
We had never bought a property or attended an auction before. John literally held our hand, gave us great and simple advice and come auction day we had a blast. He managed all negotiations brilliantly and stayed with us until we got the house at the right price. He is enigmatic, warm, and you trust him. He has also kept in touch post purchase. A genuine guy who really cares about his clients and someone we hope continues to stay in touch.
Friendly, professional, attentive and informed but the added bonus that John brings to the sale of a property is the ability and willingness to project manage trades, quotes and renovations to the property before marketed for sale. Having attempted this, myself with a previous property it was an arduous, stressful task and even getting trades to turn up and quote (let alone fit in the job) was so difficult. John is wonderful and I wish I engaged him previously.
We recently inspected and purchased a property in Thirroul via John, his knowledge of the area we found extremely helpful, I believe that’s what sold us the property as we were solely buying location and John was the man to speak to; Having dealt with numerous agents over the last 30 years, John is certainly one that I would be more than happy to recommend to both vendors and purchasers. John’s knowledge, attitude and love for his career and dealing with the public is evident and an asset to all.
John worked extremely hard on our auction campaign. He is a very genuine agent who had our best interests at heart always. The communication was second to none and we could not have been happier with our amazing result! We will highly recommend John to our family and friends.
"John was great in helping us buy our first home. He is very friendly, extremely helpful and he responds quickly to any questions or queries."
"John was fantastic to work with! John made the process of buying my first home so simple and put me at ease every step of the way. He was always honest, extremely approachable and had an impressive knowledge of the property market for the local area. John answered all my questions and had excellent communication skills."
"John has achieved great sales results for many friends and we are extremely pleased that we chose him to sell our home. He guided us through the entire process with professionalism ensuring we received regular updates and comprehensive advice in a timely manner. He worked tirelessly to achieve a great result with unwavering enthusiasm and commitment. John and the team at Laurence Morgan have been a pleasure to deal with and thoroughly recommend them."
"Right from the beginning, John outlined to us exactly what the market was doing and what he proposed to do for us. He was always realistic but extremely positive and supportive. It was a first-time experience for us as we were selling our family home of 26 years, but we had 100% confidence in John's methods and abilities. John guided us through every stage, always patient and available for our questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. John went above and beyond what we expected. John's energy and attention to detail are amazing. He kept us informed all along the way, directing us to necessary professionals when we encountered a few problems and kept following up until everything was sorted. His staff were always available and supportive, completely aware of everything happening. John has made the whole experience a wonderful success."
John and his assistant were fantastic helping us purchase our first property. The communication they used made it easy and less stressful with the whole process. We definitely would recommend John and the team to anyone considering to use them in the future.
John had excellent knowledge of the past, present and future developments, in the near vicinity and surrounds. He also managed to make the transfers of contracts simple. He and assistant were also very helpful with any post sale discussions.
John was a terrific sales agent. Very attentive with his responses when liaising. His knowledge of the local area and the current market was very helpful when deciding to purchase. I would highly recommend John to any seller.
John was great to deal with. He has sold a few properties for us now and we keep returning because of his professionalism and prompt actions. Highly recommend.
John’s knowledge of the market far exceeded any expectations. From our first meeting he was up front and honest about the whole process and how we would go about things. His communication throughout was second to none and his planning helped to achieve a great result and I would highly recommend John to anyone thinking about selling.
John is an excellent communicator. I felt like I knew what was happening with my property at every stage.
This is the 3rd property we have sold with John. His communication is impeccable, always goes above and beyond. His knowledge of the market is outstanding. He was with us every step of the way and always makes this stressful time in selling a house, easy and manageable. Thankyou John for your professionalism and getting the job done with class.
After only buying my property off John via an auction in which was an absolute peak market, I decided quickly that it was not the location for me and my plans long term about where I wanted to live had changed. When I discussed this with John he was great straight away and insisted I take some time to really think if this was the right choice. He was great at listening to me and understanding my motivation for wanting to sell and never once pushed me into listing it. I always felt comfortable with John and I could really see apart from the fact he is a real estate agent it was apparent he really wants to help people and he really cares about his clients. I was previously one of those people who always thought real estate agents were sneaky and all about the bottom dollar but John totally changed my mind and changed my perception of that. When my property first went on the market the market was slowing as Christmas was approaching and I had nonstop rain at my open homes, I felt very discouraged. John didn’t talk me into accepting a low offer. He talked me through the benefit of taking it off the market until the New Year and things picked up. He advised me the exact time to put it back on the market and some changes at my house (which including him turning up after hours with a truck and a co-worker and moving and storing all my excess furniture at his friend’s house). I realised his experience in the industry really shone through in his knowledge and advice and his ideas were spot on! Anyway, after only a week or so John secured me a great price and lead me through the process in a fashion I felt comfortable with and supported the whole time. A lot of people say selling a house is one of the most stressful things in life and I agree it can be and I have brought and sold a number of times here and overseas, but without a doubt I can say overall, I really had a faultless campaign and a great result thanks purely to John.
Having purchased just recently in the Illawarra area for the first time, it was very refreshing to find an agent who was both professional and honest and who had a sense of humour. Even though his client was the vendor, John kept us informed throughout the process of purchasing the property and is still assisting post purchase. We can't rate him high enough.
John went above and beyond when seeking my property. He was very easy to work with and I'd recommend him to anyone ready to sell their property. You will be in great hands!
John is a superstar!! We were looking for an honest, professional and experienced agent. John certainly ticked these boxes from the very first time we spoke. John is very friendly, hardworking, has fabulous negotiation skills and excellent communication skills and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He took extra measures to ensure our sale goal was met, and no hidden disappointments. We are extremely happy with the outcome, thanks to John! You won't find another agent like John.
The way John and his team handled themselves through the process of selling our house was first class. John's knowledge of the market was spot on, ensuring we got the sale we wanted. Special mention to his team that support him, they worked their butts off.
Had the pleasure of dealing with John both as a buyer and seller when it came to our Woonona property - having first introduced the place to me some 9 years ago. John provides sound, in depth advice without the expected spin. Appreciated his down to earth approach - staying the course and maintaining our confidence in a dynamic and changing marketplace. Would have no issue recommending John to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Illawarra.
This is the second time we have sold through John and we would not hesitate using him again in the future. His knowledge of the local market conditions and superior negotiating skills are on another level to others in the industry. John’s integrity and genuine care for his clients are also attributes that separate him from the pack. Two life changing sales results! Thanks again John.
John is a pro in all aspects of his trade.
Knowledgeable, positive, energetic, caring and friendly are the words best used to describe John O’Reilly. It was a fortunate day for us when we employed John to sell our home. The condition we made was that he finds a ‘magic villa’ for us. To this end he applied all his skills and high energy doing letter-box drops and sourcing out other agents, and he soon found many for us to inspect. When we settled on one, his professional marketing strategies and hard work soon sold our home. When hiccups occurred during the sale and purchase process, John was always there to support us with his calm and encouraging manner. Our faith in his ability was justified when he successfully secured the sale of our home and we obtained the ‘magic villa’ we had been searching for. We have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone who wishes to have a successful outcome in the buying/selling process of real estate. He is a high-energy personality with a human touch that makes the process of buying or selling a home painless. We both wish him really well.
It has been our extreme pleasure in dealing with John O’Reilly. It was obvious to us that John gave us every opportunity to achieve the very best of service when selling our home. From our initial meeting with John, we felt very comfortable in his presence and knew immediately that he was the man who would work to achieve the very best result for us. John is a warm, caring man, who when working for a client, treats that client with the utmost respect that the client deserves. He is a man who is well groomed, dresses impeccably and his self-presentation reveals just that. His work ethic is extremely high. The presentation for the sale of our home was nothing short of first class, from the signage at the front of our home to the brochures presented to clients, as well as excellent advertisements on the internet. We have no hesitation in recommending John O’Reilly as a first-class real estate agent with the knowledge that he will achieve the very best possible result for his client. If ever we need to buy or sell any home in the future, it will be John O’Reilly whom we will seek to conduct our business.
I could not be more pleased and could not speak more highly of John and his support team. From the get go, we knew the sale of our townhouse was in knowledgeable hands and every step of the way we were provided with clear and honest communication and feedback. Throughout the campaign I was also highly impressed with the communication they provided to perspective buyers. The level of professional and dedication was simply outstanding, both agents always gave 100% to work towards the best outcome possible. John was able to achieve a result beyond our expectations and this was made possible through the sheer determination and hard work.
On behalf of my elderly parents, I had to sell their house quickly as they had entered nursing homes and money was required to pay dad's deposit. I contacted John because he had impressed my mother when giving a valuation some years earlier. He was on holidays, but in the local area, and came straight away. During his holidays he organised the advertising, signage and contacted prospective buyers, and our house was open for the first selling weekend of the year. About eight couples saw the house on that day, we got an offer within two days and the house was sold three days after the open house, for considerably more than we had expected. And an early settlement was agreed, which meant we could pay the nursing home deposit in time. John had a brilliant knowledge of the market and buyers. He kept me informed every step of the way so that the whole process was smooth and not stressful. He also kept in touch with my parents so they felt included. As I was packing up, clearing out and cleaning a house with 50 years of possessions, it meant a lot to me to have that kind of peace of mind. John made everything easy and certainly demonstrated how right I was to have confidence in him. If I have another Wollongong property to sell I'd go straight to John.
After speaking with several real estate agents, we immediately felt confident that John was the agent we trusted to sell our property. John’s wealth of knowledge and experience paired with his warm and professional manner made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. John kept in regular contact with us, well beyond business hours, to ensure we were well-informed and up to date as things progressed. Going above and beyond what we expected from an agent, John’s drive and dedication is second to none. We felt confident we could trust John and his team to get the best possible price for our property and are absolutely delighted with the final result.
I found the whole process like a ‘walk in the park’, there was no stress in the process at all. John and the team were exceptionally efficient, down to earth and ‘fun to be around’
From the first chat on the phone to John to let him know we wanted to sell, it was all systems go. He met with the tenants straight away, organised trades to fix up the place, marketing arranged same day, campaign started within 10 days (post house fix-ups) and then 5 offers in less than 5 days. John called me every day with an update and took care of everything. He even went to the trouble of getting his assistant, to drive 40 minutes to a midway point so we could get contracts signed in one day (me being in Sydney CBD). Absolutely amazing experience and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to pull this off in record time. Add to this the fact that I knew John had my back and would be the ideal negotiator. I also really appreciated his boundless enthusiasm, energy, sense of humour and professionalism. The end results speak for themselves - we couldn't have hoped for a better result but when John sets his mind to something you are guaranteed to get the best outcome. I would recommend John in a heartbeat to sell your property or to buy from (I've done both).
There is so much to say about John and his staff. For my husband and myself they went way beyond what you would expect of a real estate agent. He and his team are trustworthy and genuine and really care about their clients. Our experience with John and his team has been excellent and we would go back again if we ever sold or wanted to buy. He and his team are pleasant and caring and make the stressful emotional path of buying and selling a lot easier thank you so much John. Also, John’s knowledge of real estate in the Northern Suburbs it's second-to-none.
