Do You Choose The Cheapest Agency or The Best Agency? Which agency to choose is the critical part of achieving the highest possible price for your home. The fundamentals that draw people to the Inner West remain – proximity to the city, public transport, schools, parks, cafes and that great community feel, are still there. A lot of buyers are still looking to purchase. The key to achieving a great result is to have the best agent working for you, with the best marketing strategy whether auction or private sale. The best agency will ensure your home is exposed to all the potential buyers currently looking, they’ll follow those buyers up and keep you informed, and they’ll negotiate until that buyer has offered their very best price. And while the best agency might charge a higher fee than the others, when they get you a higher sale price you’ll actually end up with more money in your pocket from the sale. Call Jas H. Stephens today for a free market appraisal and see why we are the Inner West specialists.

Leading Auctioneers in the Inner West Craig Stephens and his fellow auctioneers at Jas H. Stephens Real Estate in Yarraville and Williamstown are a team that has more auctioneering experience than you can wave a gavel at. Notching up about 8000 auctions between them, Craig, Terry, Greg, George and Tate are all in agreement that auctions are exciting and competitive. Director, Craig Stephens, has conducted more than 2500 auctions over 16 years and believes his experience and ongoing success is a testimony to his commitment. Terry Fitzpatrick believes his ability to read body language and use humour to make buyers feel at ease is his secret weapon. Tate Moore is the youngest auctioneer on the team. He says he likes to think he’s quick-witted and thinks a bit of humour goes a long way. George Alexander, with 11 years and more than 300 auctions under his belt, says his non-confrontational style coupled with local knowledge, is his success secret. Greg Carruther’s enthusiasm is still evident after 36 years and more than 3000 auctions. He still always strives to achieve outstanding results.
