He is humble and is able to listen to what you need to say and gives his expert opinion. Joseph is the most professional and kind agent I have come across and he has many years of experience and expertise behind him. His knowledge of the market and housing areas is impeccable. I cannot speak highly enough of Joseph and his team. I highly recommend First National Real Estate, Balwyn North, especially if you are a first time buyer/seller who needs to know that they are in good hands.
