Summer – A Great Time To Sell As most families are arriving back from holidays, potential sellers are finishing off painting their front fences, polishing floor boards or retiling their bathrooms in anticipation for going on the market. 2011 promises to be a great year for both vendors and buyers. At Jas H. Stephens, the phones are ringing hot already and there’s a positive vibe that real estate is on the forefront of many people’s minds.

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.
