Jon Snead

Jon Snead has to be one of the best agents I have had the privilege of working with. Getting him and his team on board to sell my apartment was one of the best decisions I have made. He knows his job well, is supportive and leaves no stone unturned for the seller or the buyer and above all he is someone to be trusted in such an important area being real estate. All I can say is I highly recommend Jon and his team at The Agency.

As a property buyer, Jon was a pleasure to deal with. His communication was terrific - fast and professional. He made sure we were kept updated on any developments and was happy to pass on questions to the vendor. Obtaining contracts and other relevant documentation was easy and painless, unlike some other agents we had to deal with recently. Jon was very familiar with the property and knew what the market was doing. Being a local himself, he also had excellent knowledge of the suburb and surrounding area, including recently sold properties, nearby schools, transportation, shops and development proposals. At both the inspections and the auction, Jon and his team worked hard to drum up interest from prospective buyers. If we ever sell our new home, I would love to have Jon on my side!

Without a doubt Jon is the best agent I have ever dealt with. Over the last 10 years I have sold over 12 properties in Sydney and this was my first experience with Jon. I will continue to use Jon on all of my future real state endeavours.

Jon's knowledge of the immediate area, comparative sales, current listings with him or other agents and accurate assessment of current markets conditions made him a stand out for us. His simple, accurate and strategy assessment of what was required to maximise our sale price proved to be spot on. Jon kept us well informed throughout the entire process and his follow up was nothing short of exceptional. We are delighted with the result, particularly given the current market challenges and have no hesitation in recommending Jon as the stand out agent on the lower North Shore.

We asked Jon to sell our property after being introduced to him by a friend who was a former colleague of his. We were immediately impressed by his professionalism and enthusiasm for his job and in an industry rife with dubious practitioners, his decency, honesty and sense of humour resulted in an excellent sale for us.

We met Jon a few years ago as we had a developer looking to purchase the block where we owned a unit. Unfortunately, we did not get majority approval and we were unable to proceed with the sale. However, a testament to Jon's work ethic and drive, he remained in contact so it was an easy decision to appoint Jon to sell our property when the time was right. Jon's advice and strategy that was used to sell our property was faultless and resulted in a suburb record that well exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the market and the area was invaluable. He always conducted himself in the most professional way and was never unreachable. Jon managed our expectations the entire way and therefore made the process easy and stress free. It was a pleasure to work with Jon. We have recommended his services without hesitation and will continue to do so.

Jon did a great job in advising us on the sale of our home. He explained fully the rationale for every suggestion he made. He stayed in touch with us as we prepared the house for sale and regularly stopped by to check on matters for us (as we were overseas). Once the sales campaign started, he kept us updated after each showing. He provided pragmatic advice in dealing with potential buyers. When it came to accepting an offer, he made sure we did all we could to maximise the price. A great experience all around. We'd certainly use him again.

Jon was my agent and he ran an amazing campaign and got me an amazing result! The things I like about Jon are firstly, he spent a lot of time and effort with buyers to sell the property, he is very easy to work with and most importantly is highly motivated to get the best result possible. He's not someone who angles for a quick sale, it’s simply not in his nature. He genuinely wants the best outcome for his client and will do everything possible to get it. I highly recommend Jon and will use him again for my next sale!

Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond in assisting us in the years leading up to the sale with advice on renovation work and landscaping, then he coordinated every detail of the sale of our house, from managing the pre-sale renovations (new carpets, paint, cleaning, gardening, stylists etc), supervising the print work, liaising with our house sitters throughout the campaign and keeping us fully informed at every step of the way. In such a Challenging market, you need in-depth expertise and market knowledge to get a good result, which is exactly what Jon brings to the table, together with his incredibly professional presentation at all times. He achieved a fantastic result for us, above and beyond our expectations during the campaign and also negotiated heavily with our buyer to obtain the best possible outcome, sale figure and contract terms for us. We were absolutely delighted we chose him as the person we wanted to represent our house in the market and he has qualities which are rare in this field – honest, personable and genuine. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Jon’s quick insight into our situation, both financial and personal, was able to turn a previously disappointing weekend with another property, into an amazing and wonderful chance for our family. It has happened so quickly, from inspection to contract signing, just over 24 hours, which I believe, could not have happened without great knowledge and his natural inquisitiveness. As we say in sport when we see someone with a lot of talent, he’s a natural!

From start to finish Jon was professional and committed. He went to great lengths to publicise the apartment being sold, even arranging dedicated articles in the Mosman Daily and on news.com.au. His efforts resulted in 100+ interested groups and 20+ contract requests in the first three weeks alone. He was tireless in following up all leads, and then negotiating with the ultimate buyer. I would not hesitate to use Jon again to sell a property, and would recommend him without reservation.

Working with Jon was an excellent experience, from the very first meeting to after the sale of the property. He has first class knowledge of the area, the market and the way to style for sale, allowing us to set a campaign schedule and meet our expectations. He worked hard to get us the price we needed, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

I would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for an agent to sell their property. He is a consummate professional and we found him to be not only very knowledgeable but also patient, open and transparent. We selected Jon as our agent to sell our father’s property in late 2018. It was a slightly unusual property being on the military road island and at a point where the market was cooling. Jon was able to provide great input and contacts to assist with the renovation to prepare the property for sale and then ran an excellent campaign throughout which he kept us well briefed as to the level of interest and market feedback as to the price range. Most critically he was able to elicit an offer and close the sale prior to auction for a strong price despite potentially limited interest had we gone to auction. Jon was always a pleasure to deal with and very patient with myself and my two siblings throughout the process, patiently explaining the relative merits of our options at each decision point. He was also a great help with assisting our mother in bidding at several auctions just after he finalised our sale.

Jon Snead has to be one of the best agents I have had the privilege of working with. Getting him and his team onboard to sell my apartment was one of the best decisions I have made. He knows his job well, is supportive and leaves no stone unturned for the seller or the buyer and above all he is someone to be trusted in such an important area being real estate. All I can say is I highly recommend Jon and his team at The Agency.

We just bought our first home from Jon and we had an excellent experience. Everyone had warned us 'watch out for real estate agents, they mostly want to skin you alive' but we worked through some negotiations and found him to be a really clear, straightforward and trustworthy person to work with - keen to help us solve problems and get a great outcome for everyone involved. Recommend very highly.

What impressed us most about Jon is his professionalism. He presents himself well (articulate, personable, well-dressed). Jon was spot-on with his advice in terms of the target audience, property presentation, marketing approach and how best to embrace changing market conditions. He was thorough in his approach and communicated regularly. We have no hesitation in recommending Jon.

Jon worked tirelessly in what proved to be an overall difficult campaign. Jon communicated very well with us throughout the entire process. His constant updates kept us well informed as to where things were at with our property at all times. Without a doubt his knowledge and experience were paramount in helping us achieve the best possible result. I would without hesitation recommend Jon who proved himself truly dedicated when given the opportunity.

Jon exhibited total professionalism in achieving an excellent result for me at auction. His expertise, market knowledge and calm reassuring manner guided the campaign to a good outcome. The feedback I received from people who viewed the property was extremely complimentary regarding his commentary and presentation. I have no hesitation in recommending his services and would definitely engage Jon again in the future. Thanks Jon for a job well done.

I originally met Jon as a buyer in the area and it was immediately obvious that he is a highly energetic and proactive selling agent with extensive market knowledge. Jon did not disappoint, he was extremely thorough in his approach to the selling campaign and provided constant feedback throughout and ultimately, delivered an excellent result in a very short period of time. From start to finish Jon was outstanding, he went above and beyond by making recommendation on fixing up the unit and even managed the styling process prior to launch. He was very realistic about setting our price expectations and provided excellent buyer feedback throughout the campaign. I would not hesitate in recommending Jon as your agent!

I had held my property for over twenty years before deciding to sell by auction recently. Jon was knowledgeable, personable and highly professional. I followed his advice and as a result I achieved a sale price considerably higher than I had expected. This was achieved on a weekend when auction clearance rates fell to 58%. I recommend Jon to you as an excellent agent.
