Extensive Experience with Outstanding Capability and Service
I met John when buying our house in 2012. As the Purchaser at that time, I was indeed blown away by his integrity, emotional intelligence and honesty. Since that time, I have always reached out to keep in the know about the market and workshop property matters with John. It was a no brainer when selling my investment unit that John was top of my list. I was not disappointed. He achieved the best price, while still empathetically guiding me through the process and comprehensive sales strategy. John was on point with every recommendation and performance. Thanks John 11/10

1st Class
John was incredibly proactive and communicative during the sales process, from pre-campaign all the way through to the eventual sale. I feel that John's ability to articulate the process and explain potential outcomes, maintained buyer interest in our property throughout the campaign. John's market knowledge shone through, as he dealt with us and numerous prospective buyers. Our experience culminated in a fantastic sales outcome !

John delivered a faultless and highly professional experience, he is a pleasure to work with.
John Galea is the only agent I will use and recommend to sell property in the inner west of Melbourne. He is professional, honest, trustworthy and a joy to work with. I have both purchased AND sold properties through John and can certainly vouch for his genuine character. My most recent sale was a success and I was personally mostly hand off, I left everything in John’s capable hands. He delivered well above my expectations. His knowledge of the inner west market is second to none, and I found his regular reports on the progress of my sales campaign to be professional and of high quality. I certainly recommend John Galea!
