The fact that Branko speaks fluent Serbian reflects his proud heritage and has also assisted

in certain property sales – particularly when, as has occurred, the property in question

happened to be the Serbian Social Club! Branko’s connection to the local community is

extremely strong while his link to another area of Melbourne, namely Hawthorn, luckily

is confined to his support of their AFL team!

Branko and his wife Danijela married in February 2005, have an active social life and

enjoy working on their own home whenever time allows.

His friendly disposition ensures Branko establishes effective working relationships with

vendors and, equally importantly, with prospective buyers throughout the course of a

sales campaign. His attention to detail means each stage of presenting a property to the

market runs as smoothly and professionally as possible.

Tertiary qualifications in international trade and previous career expertise in shipping equip

Branko with astute business acumen that complements his clear understanding that real

estate success is all about service and people - a fact that holds true in any language!

Communication

We take the time to listen to you.

Selling a home can be more successful when we understand your needs. Only then can we truly work together to achieve amazing results.

Sometimes people can have a gift for talking, but listening is a skill too. Good communication is created when we stop and listen to what you’re thinking and feeling. We want to know what your expectations are so we can strive to exceed them.

That’s why we urge you to complete the questionnaire at the end of this document. We’d like to know more about you and your property.

We like to listen before we talk so we can service you better, and create the outcome you’re hoping for. Communication is the key to our success.

What this means for you?

If an agent really listens to you, they will

be aware of your specific needs and any

expectations you may have. It makes for

a more enjoyable selling experience and

greater confidence when you know your

agent understands you.

Company History

We’re a fourth generation family business.

Jas Stephens origins date back to 1923 when Mr James Henry Stephens established the real estate firm in Yarraville. Since then, three generations of the Stephens family have carried on with the business, each making their mark in real estate. Craig Stephens is the current director. He took over from his father Alan Stephens and grandfather John.

Craig has committed to taking the business to the next level. With a reputation as the agency of choice in the Inner West, Jas Stephens opened a second office in Williamstown in April 2010.

More than ever, Jas Stephens is committed to maintaining the high levels of service that their customers have come to expect.


The team at Jas Stephens take pride

in maintaining the long established

reputation, which means you can be

assured of old fashion values and high

standards of customer service.

Why Sell withJas Stephens?

Four key reasons to choose us.

Our Reputation: The Jas Stephens team has invested in developing relationships that have lasted decades. But even if you only need to work with us once, you’ll experience a highly professional organisation in action that is 100% focused on achieving the best possible result for you.

Our Local Knowledge: Nobody knows our area like we do. Our almost 90 years in business is testament to the insight and quality advice we are able to provide our clients. We have always focused on and specialised in the Inner West.

Our Innovation: Our innovative, award-winning property marketing which embraces the latest internet and video mediums, our high levels of service and our meaningful communication with clients, all combine to deliver outstanding results.

Multi Award Winning Agency

There are many ways to view success.

At Jas Stephens, our focus has always been on achieving the best possible results for our clients. We also believe we uphold the highest levels of integrity and professionalism not just within our own industry, but in business.

Our true reward is the many loyal customers who trust in us to sell their homes, but it’s also great to be recognised by our peers. Jas Stephens has regularly been acknowledged at the Real Estate Industry Awards across multiple categories.

To be acknowledged by our peers like that is very humbling, as it reflects on the whole team and the calibre of our work. But when it comes to the crunch, nothing beats the smile on a customer’s face when we achieve a premium result.


The Real Estate industry is very competitive.

The REIV Awards for Excellence are judged by

people in the business. To be acknowledged

by our peers in this way means our marketing

methods, skills and knowledge are of the

highest standards, which leads to excellent

sales results.

Our Commitment to Community

Choose an agent that has a heart.

Giving back to the community that supports us is a vital part of our philosophy. We support a large number of community and sporting groups both locally and further afield.

We donate our auctioneering skills to fundraising activities held by local groups and have provided more than 200 Community Boards annually.

We’ve been part of the Inner West community for almost 90 years. We love it here and we love helping where we can.


When you choose Jas Stephens to sell your

home, not only are you getting one of the

most experienced and professional agents

in the Inner West, but you are choosing

an agency that supports your community.

What our clients have to say

Just one of the many testimonials we receive.

“You have done an awesome job in selling our property in an efficient and professional manner considering the property was tenanted and the market in Williamstown had slowed down. When I reflect on this, it shows it was a privileged to be able to sell at a premium price based on the current market conditions, without both of you I think my property would not have achieved such a price.” Vuth & Jane Pin

“We have dealt with Jas Stephens a number of times over the years either buying, selling or renting and I must admit, the service just gets better and better.” Mr & Mrs Slavkovski

“Not only was it a remarkable sale result, but your team’s knowledge of the area and your professionalism is undeniably an asset to your company. We found you to be very confident in your abilities and in turn that made us feel more at ease. Thank-you for all of your efforts and achieving a sensational result. We believe that your team did go that extra five percent!”

Natalie & Jason


The greatest compliment is an unsolicited

letter of gratitude from a past client. We aim

many testimonial letters – please ask us to

How to choose your agent

Choosing the agent is the most important decision when selling your home.

Taking the legal requirements for granted, there are many things that can, and should, influence your choice of agent. Important criteria to consider:

The agent themselves: Experience, integrity and the profile of the company for which the agent works is paramount. Also consider their results in the local market place.

Trust: Research shows up to 90% of sellers use the recommendations of friends and family to select their agent. This can be a great indicator.

Knowledge: The agent should be able to justify the valuation price with supporting evidence including recent, comparable sales.

Market reach: Is your agent able to bring relevant buyers to your property? Do they have a history of effective property marketing? Overall, choose your agent first and THEN work with that agent towards establishing the correct market value.


Choosing an agent you feel comfortable

with and you feel listens to you is the

most important step in selling your home.

From there, open communication during

the selling process is important in

achieving a result you are hoping for.
