Dear Peter,

We cannot thank you enough for selling our property. We thank you for your friendly attitude, honesty and soft approach at this supposed to be a stressful process.

Your price was excellent but that was not the only thing we were taken by. We found you to be very helpful with advices, well organized and very punctual.

One of the most important things, when selling the property is knowing what potential buyers are thinking and you kept us well informed. We had met with you every Tuesday during the selling period and every time had received full feedback to make an informed decision.

You have an excellent communication skills and this helped to develop our trust in you.

We are rating you service as outstanding

We wish you great success in your professional and personal life.

Dear Peter

I am writing to thank you, and all the staff at MGM, for your support during the recent sale of my home at Rosebery.

The level of service provided by you is something we rarely experience in today’s age and, while I initially found the prospect of selling my home of almost 40 years quite daunting, I was put at ease by your professionalism, integrity and approachable persona.

I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your services to others and look forward to dealing with you in future.

Warm regards

Over a period of time we have offered our home for sale via several local Real Estate Agents but without success. From the moment we met Ritchie Okesene we were impressed by his transparent and conscientious demeanour.

Throughout the process of our sale he has been totally professional and dedicated to the job of selling our property.

Ultimately the success of our sale has been due to the transparency, enthusiasm, energy and earnest manner in which Ritchie has conducted our campaign.

His ultimate feedback on relevant issues has been a source of comfort to us.

The ultimate outcome of the sale has been to our total satisfaction.

Ritchie Okesene can truly take pride in his function as a Real Estate Agent.

Many Thanks Ritchie

To Whom It May Concern:

My family and I have dealt in real estate for the past nineteen years and we have seen many changes and worked through many challenges especially dealing with a vast majority of real estate agents across the eastern suburbs.

I am writing this today as one particular agent has managed to stand out for all the right reasons and that is Peter Fotopoulos of MGM Properties.  We had a property in Maroubra that failed to be sold by four agents over a period of three years.  After receiving a profile leaflet of Peter in our letter box not once but twice, I was curious and wanted a consult to hear what he was all about.  After talking with Peter we were confident that he was the agent to sell our place in Maroubra, he was not about broken promises or unrealistic selling prices, he showed us recent sales in the area, he did his homework and advised us a realistic price that was obtainable.  He also advised that because the property was on the market four times prior, it would be difficult but not impossible and that he would do his best.  That was all we wanted, the best result possible. Our property was sold and at that time, achieved the best possible result.

I was impressed with the communication he upheld throughout the campaign advising us at all times what the outcome of each inspection consisted of both positive and negative feedback. 

At no stage could we compare Peter to other agents as Peter managed to apply himself above and beyond, so much so that we were happy for Peter to sell our other property at Kingsford, again with a great result.

We are very impressed and very grateful for all the hard work Peter put towards the sales of both properties.  His friendly persona and excellent work ethics has shown to us some people do put effort into their work to achieve the best results for their clients as it was proven with us.

Congratulations Peter on a job well done.

Dear Peter,

I would like to take this opportunity again to thank you for everything.  I am very happy that I chose you to be the agent to sell my house.  I must express that your professionalism  through this campaign was outstanding, the updates the weekly meetings etc were just phenomenal. 

I will definitely be recommending you to anyone that I hear that wants to sell their property. I trusted you all the way and I know that you delivered the best price for my house , again thank you very much for making this dream for me come true.

I really appreciate all your hard work especially today the running around you did to get the contract signed and collect the 10% deposit.

Thank you again

Regards Pam

Dear Michael,

Twenty eight years in this industry byuing and selling real estate,we have only met one other agent like Peter , she is located in Hobart.

At every corner we turned,we found Peter to be one of the most professional,loyal,calm,enthusuastic and most supportive agent we have ever dealt with.

Peter achieved a great price for us,where others had failed.

The relationship with Peter didn't end there,we are still communicating with him & at present time he is helping us relocate.

There is so much to say we can not find the words to describe how it felt to finally deal with an absolute natural born negotiator.

In my professional opinion there are three Real estate Agents to considerm in this competitive Sydney Market and I would Commend Peter above All of them.

We would never consider using any other Agent other then Peter form MGM Properties.

Sincere Regards,

Marijana&Milan Galesic

Dear Nick,

Con and I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for all that you have done in the sale of our property.

We will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to sell their property.

Please also thank Costa, Carlo and Rachael for their exceptional assistance over the years with the management of my property.

The tenant (Anthony Azaola) is really one in a million and he also deserves appreciation so if you speak to him soon, please thank him for being such a marvellous tenant over the past 4+ years.

Congratulations, and thanks again for all your efforts. We wish you and your team all the very best for the future.

With kind regards

Con & Fay Varvaritis

Ritchie Okesene is a fantastic real estate agent. I am so glad I put my trust in him to sell my apartment. Apart from being a friendly and easy to talk to, he was very professional and held my hand through the whole process.

He always allowed me to make the best decisions for me, by presenting me with all my options. He aims to get the best price and doesn't try to beat it down which made me feel very comfortable.

He managed to achieve the record price for my building (for the second time) and I would definitely use him to sell another property for me in the future. I am very grateful to him and his team at MGM Properties.

Your a STAR!

Thanks

My sister and I recently sold our family home at 116 Florence Avenue, Eastlakes.

The MGM team contacted us when a neighbour told them that we wished to sell the property.  When we were ready to sell, we spoke to Nick Kastellorios, of MGM Properties at Rosebery, who explained the process of selling the property in a simple and understandable way.

We decided that we did not want to go to auction and Nick suggested a private treaty.  Nick agreed with our asking price and informed us that it would take 2 to 3 weeks to sell the property.  We were a little bit sceptical of the time period that Nick suggested, however, within 2 weeks we had two solid offers.

Michael Xylas did the final negotiating with the potential buyers.  He explained the negotiation process and finally negotiated a price which was more than our asking price.  The property had sold within 2 weeks of it being listed.

We have both been very pleased with our dealings with MGM Properties.  They were “straight down the line” and explained the process the process simply at each step along the way.

We would highly recommend MGM Properties to any potential vendors.

Dear Ritchie,

It has been a pleasure having you as our agent. You were totally committed to

ensuring that everything was done, in order to achieve the best outcome. Your

integrity, honesty and expertise equipped us to make important decisions. Selling a

house is a big event and it can be highly stressful, however in your capable hands the

process was seamless.

I appreciate your cooperation, flexibility, and thoughtfulness. Clearly you are a man

who is passionate about your profession, and who values your clients’ financial goals

and their wellbeing.

Thank you

on behalf of myself and my brothers Charlie and Ray,

I am writing this to thank Ritchie & Josh for all the hard work they’ve put into selling my mum’s house at 277 Doncaster Avenue Kingsford. My mother’s house as you know had been on the market for some three months without being sold with another agent. Ritchie & Josh came along and were able to sell my mother’s house within a few days of having it on the books. Their professionalism, caring attitude and eye for detail was amazing to say the least.

I hope they realise the stress they have removed from mother and other members of her family.

Again, many thanks to Ritchie & Josh for sharing their expertise and knowledge of the market with Mum.

To Whom It May Concern

Ritchie Okesene handled the sale of our property at 8 Chegwyn St, Botany.

We found Ritchie to be very professional and pleasant in all his dealings with us. We were updated weekly with detailed feedback from all viewings.

He was very thorough in his marketing strategy, covering all avenues.

His feedback allowed us to set a realistic reserve price resulting in a successful sale.

I have no hesitation in recommending Ritchie’s services to anyone.

Dear Nick,

Thank you so much for the incredible effort you and the team at MGM Properties put forth in getting top dollar on the sale of my home in Maroubra! After being a rental property for the last 6 years there were a number of things that had to be done to maximize the houses curb appeal and sales price. As an absentee owner it was good to know that you were there to handle all of the inspections and oversee the repairs.

The marketing of the house was terrific! I especially liked how the professional photos, newspaper, and internet advertising turned out.

The interest and response was incredible.

We received a potential offer on the first day of the inspection and you managed to issue no less than 10 contracts during the first week of the campaign. The house was sold on auction day for 20% over our contract price. Who says it is a “Buyer’s Market”?

You and your team worked hard on the house and handled all the details. I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone buying or selling a home.

Thanks again for your professionalism and dedication!!

Sincerely
Nicholas & Natalie Lieu

To whom it may concern,

The sale of my home at 44 Dudley St Coogee was made all the easier having Ritchie as the selling agent.

This is also the first time I have written a testimonial letter for an agent and I am very happy to do so for Ritchie.

During my dealings with Ritchie, I found him to be very professional in all he does and extremely punctual with appointments.

Ritchie’s greatest asset is that he has the ability to avoid the conflict of interest that arises from when you have signed the agency agreement and until a buyer is found for the property.

Ritchie gave us very professional and genuine service so that our interests and also the buyers where more than satisfied.

Ritchie is extremely hard working and will always go the extra metre to get the job done and is an asset to his company.

I highly recommend Ritchie Okesene to you as a hard working and trustworthy real estate agent who will always serve your best interests.

Not only did Ritchie sell my home, he also found me one to purchase and during all this stress my wife & I remained happy with all proceedings.

I also wish Ritchie all the best for the future and great sales!

Yours faithfully,

Jeff Gestier

Dear Peter,

I am writing in regards to the recent sale of my property and home in the Unilodge building at Broadway.

Since you have been caring for the sale of my unit, I have been very impressed in your presistent

approach even though the housing market seemed to be slowing down. Finally you found a buyer whose yes meant yes, and the deal was done quickly and efficiently, to the benefit of all the parties involved.

I was truly grateful for your constant phone calls with updates, your patience if I was busy when you rang, and for your honesty and reliability. When you said you'd call, you did. When you said you'd try hard to sign up buyers you did. You were never pushy, deceitful or frustrating as other agents I've had dealings with in the past. I am happy that you have been able to close the deal for me under my present life circumstances and would be happy to recommend your services to any other property owners wanting to sell their homes and properties.

I wish you all the success possible when one such as yourself is hard working and honest with others, in a world where such qualities are truly rare.

Thank you once again for all of your help,

Yours sincerely,

RACHAEL WOOLLEY

To the manager of MGM Properties,

We’re writing you this letter to commend the excellent work that our salesmen Joshua Yanto and Peter Fotopoulos had done for us.

Indeed, Joshua and Peter are one of the few very enthusiastic, dedicated sales people in the real estate industry we have ever come across.

It is our pleasure to be working with Josh and Peter, and we entrust them with our property sales and purchases in the future indefinitely.

Kind regards,

Dear Michael,

I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank Peter Fotopoulos and the MGM Properties team for all of your help during the sale of my property at 2/6 Hearne Close Eastlakes.

This property was listed with another agent for six months and it could not be sold.

I listed this property with Peter Fotopoulos from MGM Properties and within two months it was sold to my surprise. You have achieved what the others could not achieve in a very short period of time. My credit goes to you and your hard working team.

If anyone is looking for a solid, reliable Real Estate Agent who will bend over backwards to provide a good service, keep you in the picture at all times and always respond to questions within a day, I can highly recommend Peter Fotopoulos and MGM Properties.

Thanks again guys, I am over the moon that you have sold my property in this hard Sydney Real Estate market.

Dear Mr. Xylas

We want to express our sincere thanks to MGM Properties and especially to your agent, Ritchie Okesene, for the very speedy sale of our property.

As you know, our house was for sale for quite some time and we were actually taking it off the market for a few months when Ritchie came along and persuaded us to let him try and sell it. Because of his excellent skill in communication and his very polite and professional mannerism he won us over (which is no mean feat) as we were definitely very sceptical of any agent we came in contact with.

To make a long story short, Ritchie in our eyes is "the agent of the year".  He showed us how a successful agent should work. He was professional, tireless, and polite and made us feel completely confident in his ability to sell our property, and he did it!!!!!  And what's more, he got us a better price that we expected.

Please look after this young man. He is definitely an asset to your company and has earned our respect forever.

Sincerely yours

Jim and Monika Adam

Retired football star Jeff Orford who played for the Roosters, St George, South Sydney and finally the Gold Coast Chargers and his wife Elise (local Botany business woman for the last 10 years) together have recently succeeded in selling their home at 28 William Street Botany whilst simultaneously exchanging on the purchase of their new home in Tenterden Road.

"We are so happy with the outcome on the sale of our property. Ritchie Okesene made us feel comfortable from the outset and was completely understanding of our needs. We found him to be extremely professional in the way he communicated both with us and the Buyers that he introduced to our property. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ritchie Okesene to other sellers" said Elise & Jeff Orford.

"MGM Properties not only delivered fantastic service in selling our property but went the extra mile in finding us our fabulous new home in Tenterden Road. We are so exited by the new adventure we are now having with this new house."

"Nick Kastellorios was helpful and patient in listening to the things we wanted in the new house and when the call came that they have found the property that would be suitable for us, we were a little sceptical at first. After all we have dealt with a lot of Agents in the past that have promised the earth and delivered little."

"The first time we met Nick Kastellorios at the property and while he  walked us through it - we knew there and then that this was the place we wanted."

"We were so excited and also pleasantly surprised that the team at MGM Properties had delivered in all their promises."

"They had achieved a fantastic result on our property at William Street firstly, and then also found exactly the place we wanted to move into."

"It was nerve racking and hectic at first to think that we are selling and buying at the same time on the same day but after watching how calm and collected Nick & Ritchie were in their negotiations, we knew that it was going to happen."

"With only a window of a couple of hours to put this whole deal together, it was quite calming to watch how Ritchie strolled into our home with a big smile and contracts in hand, calmly sitting down at our outdoor setting and proceeded to stroke our family dog Duke."

"We asked him, "Is this deal going through?" and he just casually looked over and said "Of Course! Let's get some signatures and a glass of water here!"

"The confidence showed and demonstrated by the MGM Team allowed us to feel confident and more importantly secure."

"The continued communication after the sale & purchase of our properties has allowed us to feel part of the whole process."

"MGM Properties, thank you!"

Dear Ritchie,

It is with admiration that I express my gratitude for the professional way in which you sold my mother's property at 14 Koorinda Ave Kensington NSW. The information and assistance give went beyond all common boundaries of the Real Estate Industry. It was a privilege to have you as my agent and I would recommend his services to anyone seeking an honest reliable Real Estate Agent.
