I made initial contact with John on the recommendation of a friend. John and David arrived promptly for our appointment and lost no time explaining the process to me; appraised my property and were happy to leave documents with me for perusal. I liked their no nonsense, common sense approach, the way that no pressures was exerted on me to retain them; and their level of knowledge of the real estate industry. John deals with the potential buyers and David deals with the vendor, they are a great team. I was included and involved in all aspects of the sale processes. After each inspection David rang and gave me a summary of groups and interest shown. Following the action and right up until settlement David rang in a regular basis to tell me what was happening. These are really dedicated guys, they worked so hard for me, I am happy to highly recommend them.
David Taylor's Testimonials
I have recently (February 2016) sold a property in Templestowe and I can say in all honesty, that the service provided to me by my agent, Mr David Taylor of Fletchers Real Estate Company, was superior to any other real estate service that I have encountered in my own 40 years as a real estate professional.
It was, in short, the best of the best and I can most strongly recommend to any person seeking the highest quality real estate service available, that he/she contact Mr Taylor. I am certain that he/she will be very well satisfied with their choice. Yours faithfully,
From the first meeting with David to the sale of the property on auction day, the experience was one of a highly professional and personal and service. The care, attention and communication throughout the campaign made me feel like my property was their priority at all times. I continually felt supported and understood throughout the campaign and was thrilled with a successful sale despite a challenging campaign. We will use you again in the future. Thank you so much!
I would like to thank you for the great job you did to sell my house. You were very professional about your job and very spot on. I would recommend you to others who are interested in selling. Thank you so much.
The Fletchers team led by David Taylor were with us all the way from marketing, through inspections, to sale at auction. David’s sense of humour kept us relaxed; an excellent result was achieved. The “family” approach with David, his brother and son also ensured good communication. All of the important questions and issues were addressed and the outcome showed that David’s views were correct.
David sold me my property in Surrey Road and has continually kept in touch over the years with serenity and professionalism. I then rented out the property for a period of 3½ years and my property manager was Avril Agius. Avril has been an excellent help to me during this time and kept in close contact during my period in the UK. Both David and Avril have been a fantastic support to me over the various services with my property and particularly in the recent sale. Thank you so much!
Excellent professional support. David is truly one of the best Real Estate agents one could ever wish. Knowledge and long-stranding experience together with efficiency and professionalism result in successful outcomes and this is why I highly appreciate David's support and will recommend David to all my friends and colleagues.
David Taylor from Fletchers sold a property for me recently and I am very pleased with the process. He advised me how to present the property, explained all the steps involved clearly, kept me informed at all times and was a pleasure to deal with. I am very happy with the result. He is an excellent auctioneer. I would (and have) recommend David Taylor to my friends if they do intend to sell any property.
David, your attention to detail, communication, sound advice and the highest level of service we experienced, should be applauded.
We found that David's predictions were accurate and trustworthy. He always operated in a very professional manner and he showed as being a very honest and sound person to handle our business. David was always punctual at meetings with us and on inspection days. He phoned us daily concerning the progress of the sale, interest from prespective purchasers etc, and he always enquired if we were happy with the attention we were receiving. He invited us to ring him at any time if we had queries. David's true professionalism showed through again with the way he handled our auction.
We were particularly impressed by:
How the campaign ran like "clockwork"
The personable approach of yourself and John.
Your assistance and suggestions that enabled us to present our home attractively to potential buyers (including lending some of your own gardening equipment!)
Your clear communication of the sale process and guidance as to the most appropiate marketing strategy for your own home.
Achieving a sale price that exceeded our expectations.
I was extremely impressed by David's professionalism and attention to detail. At no time was I not kept completely in the picture and would be pleased to recommend the organisation to any prospective buyer or seller of Real Estate.
David was excellent, couldn't better it! 101 out of 100.
We were most impressed with your professionalism throughout. Your constant follow up and thoroughness and honesty were a real comfort to us during what would otherwise have been a stressful time.
My auction was handled with polised professionalism and resulted in my complete satisfaction with your service.
From our initial meeting we were impressed with your openness and explanation of the process involved. Your guidance was invaluable.
I would have no hesitation in recommending David Taylor of Fletchers to anyone considering selling their home. My sister and I embarked on a very thorough assessment of 6 local agents before deciding on David and we were more than happy with our decision. All aspects of the lead up to the auction went incredibly smoothly. We liked the way David let us know what would happen and that it all actually did happen how and when he had said it would. This extended from preparing the text and photos for the advertising campaign to letting us know the results of each open for inspection and the follow-up of persons who had been through the property. David’s particular strength is his communication and his attention to detail which both my sister and I appreciated. David telephoned prior to and after each inspections and this was followed up in written communication to both my sister and me. At all times we found the process relatively easy due to David’s professionalism.
I would like to thank John, the Fletchers team and especially you David, for the outstanding result in auctioning my house earlier this month. The 10% above the price that I expected can only be a result of the work that you did in formulating a winning campaign and following through with precise execution. What was particularly pleasing was the support and communication that you provided through what could be a traumatic time. Finding reliable tradesmen to fix some of the minor house faults along with candid and good advice is what a vendor needs as real support. When we first met I can remember you outlining in detail each of the steps; the advertising, internet listings, open house inspections and the profile of the likely target purchaser. What further impressed me was the follow up phone calls, letters and emails that kept me in touch with your progress. This is especially valid as I am based in England and the bulk of the campaign was carried out while I was overseas. David, I do not have any reservations about using your services again and recommending you to my friends and family as representing a professional outfit that gets results.
We were very satisfied with the service we received and would, if the occasions arose, choose Fletchers again.
I have appreciated the fine service Fletchers have provided in the recent sale of my villa unit. The various staff members at the Canterbury Road office have been unfailingly courteous and helpful. In particular I appreciate the efficiency, courtesy and patience shown to me by David Taylor, and John Taylor in addition. The type and level of communication throughout the sale process has been very good.
Fletchers Property Consultant, David Taylor, recently assisted me in selling my deceased father’s home on behalf of our family…. What a breath of fresh air! When I met David at the property, there was no high pressure or inflated expectations – just down to earth facts. Nothing was too much trouble for David. Considering it was a simple, inexpensive house requiring renovation, the attention and effort provided by David and his team was astounding. The overall result has been a complete, no fuss service which addressed my every need – selling the property in a few weeks for more than the advertised price at less than the agreed budget. Grateful thanks and appreciation to David, John and Fletchers. I have already sung their praises to my friends should they choose to sell their properties.
In selling our mother’s home the family interviewed a number of real estate firms to gain a feel for the market and to gauge from what was presented to us the correct property consultant to engage. David Taylor in the initial interview and throughout his communication and dealings with the family presented at all times a professional, honest, friendly and courteous manner. We also found John Taylor and the rest of the Fletchers staff conveyed the same presentation in their personal contact with us. During the time when the family was interviewing prospective property consultants, I stated “I feel that David Taylor would be the best auctioneer”. This observation was proved by his excellent work on the day of the Auction with everyone in attendance saying they had never seen an auctioneer put so much time and effort into auctioneering a property. The family is glad to recommend Fletchers as a real estate agents.
My wife and I would like to thank the Fletchers team of David and John Taylor for the outstanding service we received during the sale of our property.
In selecting a real estate agent we looked for a number of qualities. Both David and John demonstrated integrity throughout this process by giving us an honest assessment as well as keeping us informed of what was happening at every stage. Their ability to deliver superior results was their commitment to us, and they delivered in buckets and spades. We were very impressed with the quality service we received. We were consulted at every stage with the level of interest in the property. Being local boys their level of local knowledge was second to none. They were able to read the mood of the market and were highly confident in receiving the price we agreed on. Their attention to detail was superb. They understood our goals and objectives and assisted us to achieve them. As a result of the experience we received, we have, and will recommend Fletchers to our family and friends as agents who are highly professional and achieve results for their clients. We wish the Fletchers team all the very best for the future and have no doubt that your organisation will continue to perform and achieve the results expected.
Just writing to thank you and your team at Fletchers for all the hard work you put into the sale of our house. Your advice on house renovation and presentation as well as sales and marketing well before and during the sale of the house has been most useful and much appreciated. Your experience certainly helps and we’re very satisfied with the professionalism you displayed with ease and the service you offered, and we are indeed very happy that the house fetched such a great price. We will definitely recommend you to our friends who may need your services. May we wish you all the best in the future.
Honesty and integrity were very important aspects sought by us when choosing an agent as we wanted to feel that we could trust advice and information communicated to us via our agent. Without fail after every inspection David contacted us with feedback and followed up with written correspondence. We were never left wondering about anything related to the sale.
David always had a next plan and was thoroughly organised. We highly recommend David and his brother John, a team you can trust.
Thanks again for handling the sale of my property. Everything, from start to finish, was handled superbly and well beyond my expectations. You and John managed all the renovations fantastically, and went way beyond what anyone could expect of their real estate agent. I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts. I know you’ve handled tough situations like this before, but I can imagine there’s not too many where the client is on one side of the world and has to completely trust the agent to do the right thing and provide great advice.
If ever I’m in the market again in Melbourne, I’ll know right away who to call. Congratulations to you and John for handling the sale in such a great manner. I’d like to send my heartfelt thanks to you and strongest possible recommendation to your prospective clients.
I would like to thank you sincerely for all that you have done for us on the selling of our family home. As you can imagine the death of a parent is difficult and to sell our family home was also very stressful. I want to thank you for your expertise, your guidance and just taking the load off our minds in dealing with all the organising of the advertising and sale. Your service was of the highest standards, very impressive.
Following the sale of the house at Laing St, Mont Albert, I wish to thank you and your team for your efforts. I appreciated the feedback received from you during the sale process.
Both David and John Taylor were extremely helpful to me in the promotion and sale of my house and it was a pleasure dealing with them. I believe David worked hard to get the best deal possible for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fletchers, Canterbury to other vendors.
Please let me take this opportunity to express how pleased we are with the result Fletchers has delivered in selling our property. Much to our surprise, within one week of listing the property with Fletchers, we received a written offer and within two weeks the property was sold at our original asking price. Our dealings with David Taylor from day one have been extremely pleasant and the follow-ups from each inspection went a long way in reassuring us Fletchers were on top of things and the sale process was moving forward.
We’d like to sincerely thank you for such a great result and achieving this in such a short time period. We wouldn’t hesitate to partner with Fletchers again in the future based on our first experience.
We wish to sincerely thank Fletchers for yesterday’s auction with the result far beyond our expectations. Our initial contact with John Taylor and his friendly, informative manner to both of us, indicated a thorough professional and even though we spoke with two other agents, John’s demeanour held sway and ultimately led us to Fletchers. On behalf of the Rowe family, I wish to sincerely personally thank you and John for the thoroughly professional manner in which the auction was managed and the outstanding result in the selling of the family property at Briggs Street. Although a sad day for us, the personalised manner in which both of you handled the auction made things easier.
A very efficient and reliable agent, David has kept me informed about every stop of the selling process. Gratefully appreciated in this time.
I’m very satisfied with the first class service provided by Fletchers and David Taylor during the recent sale of my property. Their professionalism, integrity and excellent knowledge of the market led to an outstanding result on auction day. Thanks to a friend’s advice, I approached Fletchers to market my property. In turn I would like to pass my recommendation on to others seeking a real estate agency that will handle all aspects of selling with expertise.
I would be more than happy to speak to anyone thinking of engaging Fletchers for the sale of their home. David Taylor and John Taylor displayed a wide knowledge of the market generally and the Box Hill area specifically. They demonstrated a level of customer service that could be used in any best practice manual. I would have no hesitation in engaging Fletchers for any future ventures or in recommending them to family and friends. Many thanks David and John for your informative, friendly and efficient service in the sale of my home.
We were recommended to David Taylor by a friend and we were extremely pleased with the level of professional knowledge, level of contact and rapid outcome regarding the sale of our property.
Thank you John and David for your professional approach to the selling of our mother’s house. Your approach to detail and patience with us through this difficult period of our lives enabled us to move through it with the minimum of fuss. Thanks once again.
My wife and I contacted David Taylor 10 years ago after we saw him conduct a local auction. We were seriously thinking of selling at the time. David has thoughtfully and professionally kept in touch with us from time to time over these 10 years. We in no way ever considered engaging anyone else and have been completely satisfied with the service we received from him, resulting in a successful sale. Thank you David, John and all at Fletchers
Thank you so much for all of your help and encouragement during the selling of our home in Box Hill North. The approach adopted by both of you ensured that the entire process was as stress free as possible. From our earliest discussions with David, we were impressed by the way in which the sale was handled. Congratulations to on the speedy sale of the property and the professional way in which the negotiation stage was managed. Thanks to John for his invaluable advice when we were negotiating the purchase of our new property – it really worked! As a result of the service and professionalism offered by you both, we would happily recommend friends to use Fletchers.
We write to thank you for the successful sale of our treasured first home. Your guidance, professionalism and personal approach made the selling process run smoothly from start to finish and we couldn’t have hoped for a better result. We firmly believe that the outcome on auction day – one that was well beyond our expectations – was achieved due to the quality of service you provided both as our agent and auctioneer. Your dedication to the job and to your client left an indelible mark.
David and John Taylor were fantastic. They were always professional. They conducted themselves always with friendliness and honesty in mind. We want to thank them for all their time and effort in selling our house.
We came to know David Taylor of Fletchers, who was the selling agent when we bought our future dwelling. When we were ready to sell our house, David gave us advice on how best to market and advertise our house in the current property market. We are so pleased that we chose David and his staff whom have always kept us well informed during the selling period especially feedback after each inspection. David sold our home on the auction day and with an excellent result and we are delighted that we took David’s advice without any hesitation. We always found David to be very courteous and trustworthy with his depth of knowledge in real estate property. We have no hesitation in recommending Fletchers and David Taylor to any prospective clients.
We have known David for over 20 years and seen many of his auctions. I love the way David works - it is all or nothing. The way he sold our home at auction was magic! We also thank John for his efforts and backup.
Thank you Mr. Taylor!
This note is to thank both you and John for all your professional help and support during the sale of my late aunt’s home. It was very much appreciated. All of the hard work you both put into it which ended with a great auction with a consummate auctioneer. Once again my warmest thanks.
David and John provided a very high level of service and excellent communication. The sales campaign was well planned and thorough. I would have no trouble recommending them to a prospective seller.
Our family felt very comfortable and confident with both David and John Taylor as our agents. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to our friends and family. A great sales campaign and a terrific result.
Just a short note of thanks for the considerable effort both you and John applied to the promotion and successful auction of my property in Mont Albert North.
Kathy and I would like to express our gratitude to the team at Fletchers, and especially yourself and John Taylor, for the professional helpful and understanding manner in which you conducted yourselves whilst advertising and selling our home in North Balwyn. We would like to especially thank you, David, for the good humour, honest, professionalism and courtesy you displayed when conducting open houses and inspections in our home. With the difficult housing market during 2008-2009, you were able to ensure the market price we wanted for our home was not compromised. In particular, you listened and respected our wishes, and a stressful process was indeed made easier with your wonderful assistance. The wonderful little touches, such as the thoughtful and informative letters each week, the up-to-date progress reports and the great advice was very much appreciated. We no look forward to the next step in our journey and future plans and hope you will be able to utilize your expertise and help us with finding our new home. With many thanks for all your help, good humour, professional advice and of course, the great outcome.
Having auctioned the property 12 months previously without success, I was somewhat apprehensive at the beginning of the campaign. I found the “Taylor Bros” an excellent team – their combined positive attitude / calm influence was very settling. I appreciate all the excellent advertising, marketing, attention to detail at open inspections / follow up / but most of all communication about anything to do with the sale of the house was always of a high standard.
It is with great satisfaction that I write this letter to you regarding the sale at auction of our property. The sale realised beyond my expectations and yours I suspect. I am convinced that this was caused by the careful and expedient marketing of the property and your overall professionalism during the whole sale process. From my review of your proposal for marketing and sale of the property through to the completion of the sale documentation after the auction, your diligence and timely communications left me in no doubt that the sale would be handled in the best way possible. This was important due to the circumstances where I was either interstate or overseas and travelling at the time of sale. You assistance in all aspects of this sale is greatly appreciated and I would not hesitate to recommend Fletchers to any potential buyer or seller.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank David Taylor for your efforts, professionalism and courtesy. My father held you and John in high regard from your previous dealings with the family and we were again pleased with the selection of Fletchers and specifically your involvement. Also thanks for the care and compassion you showed to my parents.
I would like to sincerely thank you for your handling of the sale of our property. Your constant communication with us advising how things were progressing was absolutely terrific. You kept us informed all the way. Your advice and direction on Auction Day were very helpful and we were pleasantly surprised at the final result. Once again thank you so much for all your wonderful efforts as we could not have been happier with the way you handled things for us. If by any chance anyone was to ask us for any referrals, you would certainly be our number one choice.
David and John Taylor achieved a great result. Just give them the key and let them do what they do best.
We engaged David Taylor of Fletchers for the sale of the North Balwyn family home for 56 years. Throughout the whole process David’s service was outstanding. For us, the whole process was stress free due entirely to our confidence in David’s professionalism and integrity, his concerned and friendly approach, his outstanding communication and our confidence in the hard work and skills he has acquired through a long and successful career in the real estate industry. The ‘cream on the cake’ so to speak, was a wonderful auction result. We are delighted to give the highest possible recommendation to David of Fletchers. With our many thanks and best wishes to David and John for continuing success n their chosen professions.
On behalf of my brother and myself we’d like to thank you very much for all your help and professionalism in the selling of our father’s property. From the onset until after the auction, what we thought would be a most stressful time for us, you did your utmost to help and alleviate any problems we encountered. We would highly recommend your company and your courteous self to any person in our position.
Regarding the sale of my property, it went very well and I cannot find any fault with the open house inspections, David always called me and let me know how many people and what they felt, communications were good. The house sold for a good result. So I am very happy with the buying and selling of my houses through this company. Thank you.
This is the second time in a couple of years we have sold our property at auction through Fletchers. David and John have been totally professional the whole campaign, with follow up phone calls, great advice and exceptional service. Once again we reached far in excess of our reserve price. We have no hesitation in recommending both Fletchers and David and John Taylor.
It is with pleasure I can recommend David and John Taylor. I am by no means easily pleased and I could not fault them.
I would like to thank David and John Taylor and also the staff and management at Fletchers for their pleasant and effective control in bringing about a happy and satisfied sale. I am very confident in recommending Fletchers and their caring ability to bring about very satisfying result.
My wife and I have used the services of Mr David Taylor on three occasions over a sixteen year period. At all times we have found him to be scrupulously honest, tactful, helpful and businesslike. His attention to detail, promptness, punctuality and experience in the field of real estate is beyond reproach. His friendly and cheerful demeanour has made every point of contact with him a pleasure. In the most recent instance of our business contact, when we were acting as executors for the will of a deceased friend who was an inveterate hoarder, I had to sell my friend’s former home. This was an unenviable task, involving the clearance of a house stacked tightly, to a depth of about 2 meters, with accumulation in every room. Unfortunately the material left was of immense historical value (early sound recordings and films) so that we could not simply discard the contents, later acquired by the State Library of Victoria. David Taylor gave us tremendous assistance in suggesting suitable means of clearing the house, and to suggest people to assist in cleaning and preparing the property for sale, taking tremendous pressure off the shoulders of my wife and myself. It was a difficult and onerous situation, in which many beneficiaries of the will needed to realise a good price from the sale of the large home unit, which Mr Taylor certainly obtained. For a hassle free transaction in which one needs an eye for detail, including the details of real estate law, experience in advertising, clever negotiation skills and absolute punctuality, Mr Taylor would be an excellent agent, and we have no hesitation in recommending him to others

I would like to thank David and John for their friendly but professional manner in selling my property. They were both honest and realistic in their recommendations of selling structure and valuation. As the property sold after the first viewing it speaks for itself, realising a sale price we were very happy with. Thanks again to David and John and of course Fletchers for a job well done.
I met David as a purchaser and when I needed to sell, I got in touch with David. He delivered an excellent outcome - thanks David, John and all the staff involved.
Thank you both for the outstanding result achieved on the sale of our family home in Mitcham last Saturday. Inevitably there is a significant leap of faith when hiring an agent to sell a property and the sales pitch is not always backed up with performance prior to the auction or on the day. I am pleased to say you presented a strong case, backed it up with good advertising, kept me well updated on progress and performed on the day. The entire family is very happy with the outcome and no one more than me as executor of my father's estate and the person responsible for ensuring a professional and acceptable outcome. Thank you both for the great result. Please also thank those in your office who inevitably provide great support but are invisible to the customer.
David has done a fantastic job in giving me all the help needed to sell my property in Box Hill North. Thank you again.
Deciding to sell my home after living there for nearly 54 years, made me feel nervous and anxious. All those feelings disappeared once David and John took over the marketing of my home. David and John were so helpful and caring; they made the selling of my home go smoothly. I recommend Fletchers for their excellent service. Thank you David and John.
Thank you very much to you and your team at Fletchers (and especially John) for the wonderful help and guidance given to Mum during the sale of her Glen Iris property and with the guiding on auction day for her new property. The attention to detail, service and advice given by all, far outweighed all our expectations and made the whole experience as stress free as possible which we very much appreciated. Many thanks.
Gail and David were highly recommended to us by a friend who was quite specific about the best agents and the best agency to sell our Canterbury home. We were not disappointed. Right from the first telephone enquiry and meeting with Gail and David, we felt we were in good hands. The assessment and marketing campaign for our home was well thought out and executed. Importantly, Gail and David were very responsive to some challenges which arose and were always positive and proactive in managing the whole campaign. We were always kept very well informed and nothing was too much trouble for either of them. Even post-sale Fletchers continued to assist and give us every support. We were delighted with the process.
We were delighted with the hard work that David and John Taylor put into th sale of our property. Their experience and guidance was greatly appreciated, and their confidence in regards to a successful sale kept us on track. We were delighted with the result of the auction which was held in a most professional manner. Through hard work the number attending the auction surprised us all. I would recommend Fletchers to family and friends, our sincere thanks to David and John.
We thank David, John and Julie most sincerely for the way they handled the sale of ____. Mother is 93 and their care and sonderation with all that entails was greatly appreciated. Well done David, as usual.
Selling my home was a very daunting prospect, however, because of the professionalism, care and enthusiasm shown to me by the team at Fletchers, it became a positive experience. My property consultant, David Taylor, was one of the best - extremely helpful, always very positive, and nothing was ever a trouble. A big thank you to David and his hard working team.
I have to highly recommend David Taylor and all Fletchers staff on the excellent and professional way they carried out the sale of my property. From day one to end of sale the constant follow up of information was fantastic. Thanks again Fletchers, great result.
We would like to sincerely thank David and John Taylor for their very professional and friendly approach to the successful sale of our property. As a team they operate as a well-oiled machine. With their confidence, wealth of experience, guidance and excellent communication skills, we knew we were in very good hands. We were kept well informed throughout the campaign, allowing for a smooth and surprisingly lower-stress experience than we expected, due in no small part to the competent management by David and John. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Fletchers and David and John Taylor to anyone looking to sell their home. Many thanks David and John.
David Taylor and the Fletchers team was at all time pleasant, co-operative and helpful, and their combined efforts were instrumental in achieving a satisfactory result for the recent sale of my property.
