About John

Great sale through a professional Real Estate Agent
From the moment that John took on the job of selling our property until it was sold John did an exemplary job. He took the time to explain the whole process and was always available to answer any questions. He took away the majority of the stress and the whole team at Jas Stephens have proved to be a well oiled machine in looking after the property and then selling it for us. I would not hesitate to use John Galea and the Team at Jas Stephens again.

Honest, knowledgable, reliable.
John helped us through the process of buying an apartment in Footscray. He clearly explained all parts of the process, was very responsive, helpful, and extremely transparent with everything. After the sale he helped resolve an issue, going out of his way to drop off some missing keys. Very happy with John as agent!

Amazing!!!!!!!!
As far as we're concerned, John would have to be one of the best agents around. He's a credit to JAS Stephens real estate. He is knowledgeable ,gave us invaluable advise, which we followed to the letter and led our home being sold above our reserve. His mild manner calmed us at a stressful time. We'll be using his services if we sell again!

An outstanding agent
I unhesitatingly recommend John Galea: his communication was prompt & comprehensive; his recommendations were excellent; &, above all, he cared. Ours was a modest property, but John treated our business as if it was critically important . He is the ultimate professional.

Very Helpful and Friendly
Through-out the buying period, John has remained very approachable and helpful when navigating the administration behind buying my first property. John would also engage via phone and text outside core business hours which I greatly appreciated, especially in the week of the contract being signed.

Quick and Easy - just the way you want it to be when you buy a house
We both fell in love with this house and knew that it had to be ours. John made the whole buying process super clear and easy, we always felt in the know and communicated with. We enjoyed working with John so much we ended up going with him to assist with selling our current property which we knew was going to be hard to sell. Thank you for helping us buy our dream house

Went above and beyond
We had a difficult property to sell due to a building issue that was out of our hands. John chased every lead and went above and beyond to assist us with being able to get a successful buyer over the line. All while also making sure we were kept up to date at every turn. We didn't end up selling the property for the price we would have liked (as it was a lemon), but that was in no way a reflection of the time and energy that was invested by John, Alex and the wider Jas Stephens team. We are all settled in our new place and are very grateful for all your guidance through a very stressful time.

Very good with people
John’s approach includes: • His perceptiveness about what mattered to me as a vendor, and the sort of support I wanted • Knowledgeable appreciation of the market and how my house fitted into that market • Considered advice about the best way to present my house • Very responsive and detailed communications throughout the campaign • A high level of availability. John created and maintained considerable interest in my property through the campaign. I assume that each potential buyer received a similar level of thoughtful and considered inputs from John that contributed to a very successful sale. He is an excellent agent – I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to sell their property.
