"Chris and I would like to sincerely thank you for your wonderful effort in selling our property in Ivanhoe. We are extremely grateful for all of your determination and wish to commend you for being so professional, polite and extremely helpful during this stressful time. You went above and beyond to sell our property and for this we are truly appreciative.

The follow up and constant updates made the process a seamless one and we have never worked with such a professional real estate agent. If we were to sell another property our first choice would be yourself and Jellis Craig and we would highly recommend you to others."

"Gordon Hope has recently provided us with exemplary service and expertise in his professional duties as real estate agent in the course of selling our home in Ivanhoe, Victoria. Gordon responded to our initial enquiries promptly and efficiently, when we were interviewing several real estate groups in order to gain the best service for our requirements.
 
Gordon provided a good market appraisal with a comprehensive marketing and selling strategy. The marketing needed to concentrate on maximum exposure as our home is unique in that it is the only boutique Strawbale home in Melbourne. Gordon supplied excellent contacts for professionals such as interior decorators to maximize the presentation of the home and also tradespeople to complete maintenance to a high quality finish.
 
Gordon organized and implemented the entire team of photographers, video artists, copywriters and floorplan specialists all in one sitting to maximize efficiency and streamline the materials for marketing while minimizing the disruption to us at the same time. He was genuinely appreciative of the skills of each individual contributing to the project.
 
There was extensive material to learn about Strawbale construction and its environmental properties and Gordon embraced this challenge with enthusiasm and became a knowledgeable source when conversing with all interested parties.
 
While the standard marketing program includes multiple internet site advertisements, The Age newspaper and the local real estate magazines, Gordon showed great initiative in contacting the editors of three major publications resulting in front page editorials and double page articles. Gordon's initiatives resulted in vast numbers of prospective buyers inspecting the property and his persistent and diligent follow ups resulted in an excellent sales result.
 
The thirty day campaign can be long and arduous, and Gordon's warm and endearing personality was very welcome during the process. Gordon's strategy of minimally intrusive but frequent contact minimized any potential difficulties by anticipating all possibilities and having a quick response to all matters raised.
 
By having recruited Jellis Craig Ivanhoe to conduct the sale of our home, we felt that the program could not have been any better than the one that we received, and Gordon Hope as our main contact and co-coordinator, was integral to the fact that both the process and the result were excellent.
 
We highly recommend Gordon Hope and Jellis Craig Ivanhoe for their outstanding expertise and professionalism."

"I found Jellis Craig Ivanhoe and Gordon Hope in particular to be very attentive, reliable and always kept me well informed as to where things were at with my home.
He had a terrific ability to identify the genuine buyers and was tenacious in getting the deal across the line. He never gave up.

I would highly recommend Gordon & Jellis Craig"

"Firstly, we would like to thank you for all of your effort and achievement on the sale of our home, and secondly congratulate you on your honest and professional conduct throughout the entire process.

Selling the house in which you live in is a daunting and sometimes overwhelming time. At no time did we ever experience those emotions. Right from the get-go you were clear and concise on the process of the lead up to the auction. Your regular updates and support made it a smooth and supportive experience. You are extremely professional and enthusiastic, and your can-do attitude and communication skills saw to it that we achieved a brilliant result at auction in a market that could be quite challenging for an agent and agency other than yours, who may not be quite as positive.

Thank you, once again, Gordon. We are both delighted, and would highly recommend you to anyone who may be considering selling, and needless to say, will be calling on your services again, if needed. We wish you all the luck in the future, knowing that your success can only go from strength to strength."
