“It was such a pleasure working with John and Louissa in purchasing our property. They went out of their way in helping us with any questions or requests, and were excellent when working with an overseas vendor. I would highly recommend them and their support team who made our transaction all so easy and painless. Thank you John and Louissa.”

"We are writing to advise you of the excellent service we received from Barfoot & Thompson salespeople and auctioneers, in the sale of our property at Seaside Ave in Waterview, at auction on Wednesday 24th March 2010.

We especially wish to thank John Zhang and Louissa Bao who were the principal salespeople for this sale. In addition we were impressed by the team of people whom we dealt with at the auction. Marian Tolich, Tim Carter, and Tony Loughran, who worked as a team to keep us relaxed and informed of changes, and who combined to get the best price that they could for us.

For three months prior to listing with John Zhang, (and with Barfoot & Thompson), we had received mostly negative feedback, we were without any offer from a different real estate company, and the bank was demanding an unconditional sale.

We found John to be organised, efficient, and positive each time we met. John was a pleasure to deal with, and showed real desire to get the best outcome possible for us. This gave us confidence that a sale would be achieved at the best price for market conditions, We would happily recommend John and the Barfoot & Thompson team to friends and family.Thanks again for the excellent work done and best wishes for the future."

"Please forward to any other prospective buyers and sellers: John Zhang and Louissa Bao showed the highest levels of ethical and professional practice in planning, marketing and managing the sale of our house from the first enquiry until the house was sold. They also provided clear and friendly communication throughout the whole three week plus auction and post auction process. It has been a pleasure and easy to work with John and Louissa in the sale of our home. All communications have been clear, friendly and supportive of the family efforts in the midst of trying to get a sale. I highly recommend John Zhang and Louissa Bao as salespeople - second-to-none and highly professional and full of integrity - you have winners here."

"Hi John, Thank you for bringing buyers to my house. As a Vendor I am totally blown away by your awesome, friendly and professional service."

"To successfully complete any real estate transaction requires a good deal of knowledge, enthusiasm, initiative, persistence, diplomacy and the ability to create a high degree of trust between all parties. John has proved to me he has all these skills and more. I have at all times been confident that he would do his utmost to achieve the result he could. He has kept me fully informed throughout the sale process and continues to work hard on my behalf.

I would be very pleased to recommend him to anyone requiring the services of a complete professional - he is a credit to the industry."
