Knowledge is handed down to generations Jas Stephens has a history spanning back to 1923 when we were the first agent in the Yarraville area. Over the years, we’ve drawn on that wisdom passed down over four generations, to produce excellent results. The secret to our success is that we treat our customers with the same family values as we run our business – loyalty, integrity and hard work. Throughout the years, one thing has remained the same at Jas Stephens. The customer always comes first. It’s a cliché, but it’s true and it’s what our family still believes.
