Email John Cokalis

With over 25 years of experience behind him, John still has a passion for real estate well beyond simply putting together a deal. Astute analysis of current market trends, business acumen and extensive knowledge indicate his true professionalism.

Studies in architecture, experience in hospitality and experience as Property Officer with a trustee company, provided an ideal background to a long term real estate career. John’s ability to articulate clearly and with conviction is a tremendous asset in negotiating and finalising a sale. His energetic enthusiasm is contagious as he observes a property’s fine architectural details and its popular selling features.

A resident of Kew for over 30 years, John appreciates its peaceful environment with easy access to public transport, quality shops, schools and parks. With real estate as an all-consuming passion, he often cites it as a hobby. But friends also know him as a dedicated family man who loves bike riding, walking his dog or a round of golf at Green Acres Golf Club.

Since embarking upon a real estate selling career in 1981, John has maintained an enviable record of success. His position at Noel Jones enables him to offer clients individual and personalised service. Over the years he has developed a loyal clientele, a measure of the esteem in which he is held.

As a fully Licensed Real Estate Agent and Accredited Member of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, John carries the official seal of the industry. But it takes more than that to create a true professional. John’s pleasant, caring personality together with his sharp business sense make a winning combination for all those he takes on board.
