John Taylor's Testimonials

John Taylor Senior Property Consultant

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.

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 John, the Fletchers team and 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.

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.

Elsa M Hepburn

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.

Mrs G. Rex

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.

Both David Taylor 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 to other vendors.

Brenda Robinson

We wish to sincerely thank the Fletchers group 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.

Trevor J. Rowe

Following the passing of our Father last year, my brother and I needed to sell the family home of over 54 years at Briggs St, Mont Albert North and after an initial contact with John Taylor, we both subsequently decided on your company to market and sell the property.

We then met David Taylor, with John, and the professional and attending manner of both men was outstanding. The ever informative response to both of us was amazing and the result of the auction was beyond both my and my brother’s expectations. The professional manner of both David and John at yesterdays auction was exemplary, especially David’s expertise in the manner in which he conducted the actual auction on the day. On behalf of the Rowe family, I wish to sincerely thank Fletchers and both David and John Taylor in particular for the final result in the selling of my late father’s property.

Trevor J Rowe

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 nor 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.

Allysen Jones

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

Cathie Earnshaw

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.

Lal and Brian Barden

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. We would also like to recognise John’s contribution to the campaign. Both personable and professional, John was always a pleasure to deal with and ready to assist.

Gerard and Sara Mithen

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.

Tara and Nathaniel Hickox

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.

Julie Mangan

This is the second time in a couple of years we have sold our property at auction through Fletchers. David & 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 & John Taylor.

Theresa & Kate McKee

Wow! Sold in 4 days of being on the market. I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time selling a property so was quite nervous. John Taylor put my mind and nerves at rest straight away through his honesty, reassurance and high level of communication. Thank you John and David for the quick, stress free sale of my property.

Kerryn Straughan

I would like to thank John and David 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 John and David and of course Fletchers for a job well done.

Roger Timberlake

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 M. Graham

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.

Chorale Aasvogel

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.

Margaret Elliott

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.

Michele Garrett

Fletchers were recommended to us.  John Taylor was our agent, together with his brother David, who was the auctioneer. John kept us informed every step of the way: when to expect the photoshoot; board location; wording for the advertising; dates of the open for inspections; the setting up of auction day; and internet access to our property profile. All associated costs of advertising and commission were in writing - so no nasty surprises! After each open for inspection, within half an hour John would ring and give us an update on the people attending, the interest of people - for and against. Administration staff would also send a weekly letter with an update. John was always early to set up open for inspections and was well prepared. The result of the auction was outstanding, far above anything that we dreamed of or expected. The following day there were calls from both John and David with their congratulations. Very professional. Well done to John, David and the Fletchers staff.

John & Gwen Sedgewick

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.
