Fantastic experience selling our property with Vaughn and John

We recently sold our home with Vaughn and John, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their market knowledge and strategic approach were evident right from the first meeting. They kept us informed at every step. If you want a team that is professional, proactive, and results-driven, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Exceptional and personal service

Exceptional and personal service

John and Vaughan made the whole experience stress free. John gave us a friendly welcome at the first open home, and from there Vaughan guided us through the rest of the house buying journey. He arranged a private viewing to help us make up our minds, and then made sure he was there for us with any questions or concerns we had throughout the remainder of the process; Always on the end of the phone, but never overbearing. It was the perfect balance of communication and client care. Compared to our experience with two other real estate agencies, the service and level of attention to detail from Sotherby's was truly exceptional. We can't thank them enough! A world apart from other agencies.

Fantastic communication, wealth of knowledge and make you feel like you are the only client

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with John and Vaughn. From start to finish, they were professional, approachable, and incredibly easy to work with. Their communication was outstanding—always keeping us informed, answering questions quickly, professionally, and making the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. They went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed on track, and their knowledge and guidance gave us complete confidence every step of the way. We highly recommend John and Vaughn to anyone looking to buy or sell—truly a top-notch experience! So pleased we went with John and Vaughn, our home went unconditional 16 days after going on the market. The professional advertising with an absolutely brilliant photographer really put us on the front foot. It wasn’t the easiest market to sell in, what a brilliant result! Thank you both so much, and also we are very appreciative of Amelia.
