John is one hell of a good agent.
John is a very savvy agent. He is a great Guy, very approachable and friendly with a wealth of worldly experiences. He knows instinctively, how to find out exactly what you are wanting to buy, without being intrusive. He then keeps you up to date while he is finding this new Gem. In our case, this property wasn't yet on the market. John knew that at some point, it would become available, so he spoke to the "vendors" and pointed out to them, that with the market trending down, perhaps they should let us view their property. Then once he had introduced us to this new property, he let the "seeds germinate" and just quietly kept the process going. He's not at all pushy, he just sits back keeping in contact keeping thing smoldering along. He showed us another, almost similar nearby property, knowing full well, that it wasn't up to the same standard & that we would never buy it. He did this to make his "target property" look even more appealing!!! Meanwhile he is quietly working on his vendor to get them see the realities of the current market situation. We upped our offer, (I told you he is good!!) and Bingo, we had a deal across the line. The Vendors are happy and so are we. We take over in three weeks time.
