Julian Badenach

I could not fault the service you provided in the sale of our property. Your professionalism was 5 star and I commend you on a job well done. We were extremely pleased with the result a big Thankyou. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others. Many thanks again

Julian provided excellent, well informed and attentive services in a challenging environment. An excellent and successful outcome. Well done. Woodards was a great team that worked well together to achieve the best result.

Julian's knowledge of the market helped us to achieve a fantastic result.

I would happily recommend Woodards Real Estate Blackburn, specifically Julian Badenach and Jessica Hellman.Right from the first meeting at my home to discuss the selling - up to the signing of the contract with the new owner, they were both personable and professional in every way! A great job-well done and thank you!

I selected Julian for the sale of my house after having a previous successful sales campaign with him. Julian has great local knowledge and an extensive network of potential clients. Being tied in with the broader Woodards group gives more visibility to the property. This particular auction was a challenging one for Julian, as the property needed extensive preparation prior to sale. I couldn't be happier with the effort Julian and Jessica put in to prepare the property. Julian kept me fully briefed on the progress of the preparations and updates on opens and enquiries. We were able to achieve a great result at auction. I have no hesitation in recommending Julian and his team at Woodards Blackburn.

Having developed a property in Ringwood, I was in need of an agent. Julian offered a relaxed, but highly professional approach which ultimately transpired into excellent sales. His experience and advice throughout the construction and marketing phases was certainly appreciated, whilst his uncompromising attitude ensured no stone was left unturned to achieve the best possible outcome.

Julian and his team were recommended to sell mum's home by her buyers advocate. As mum had lived in her home for 40 years it was a little daunting but Julian and Jessica did a fabulous job explaining all of the options and details clearly and patiently going over anything that mum had concerns will. They called regularly to see how mum was going, gave reports/ feed back from prospective buyers and helped in every way they could. Their support made the whole process much easier and their quality service was highlighted even more in comparison to the agent mum bought her new property through.

It was always going to be a task to achieve a record price for a 1 of 4 townhouse in East Burwood. The property was flawless and Julian was definitely up to the task. The photography was on point and the media schedule was perfectly formed. Basically I found both Julian and Jessica to be excellent in their communication and operation of the open inspections, and the entire process, they constantly kept me up to date with the 'real players' and offered sound advice. The deal was done well before the set date and we were ecstatic with the result. I would, without any hesitation or compromise recommend you use Julian from the Woodards team for your next campaign.

We recently sold our home through Woodards Blackburn. Julian acted for us, and was both professional and understanding, taking us through each step as it came about. He was also most helpful in assisting us with the purchase of another property. We can highly recommend him.

I can vouch for Julian's work both as a buyer and vendor of our home in Burwood East. He has always been professional, providing excellent advice and support throughout the buying and selling process. If I can give one piece of advice to future vendors, follow his instructions and you will be fine. His knowledge of the local market is second to none. I'd gladly sell with him again but we are moving 80km away!

We sold our unit through Woodards Blackburn. Julian and Jessica looked after our sale. They were both very professional and understanding, able to hold our hands when we needed to be assisted, and knowing when to give us space to make decisions. They were definitely not the 'used car sales' type of agents. We can highly recommend Julian.

Julian has sold a number of properties for me over the years since we met seven years ago. His understanding of the market and sale price is realistic and he worked hard to achieve the outcome we were looking for. I have found Julian to be very open, honest and trustworthy in all my dealings with him. I would not hesitate to recommend Julian to others.

We found Julian Badenach to be very professional and helpful when recently selling our house. We have now both bought and sold a house with Julian and at all times he was very open and clear in his communication and guidance. We would have no hesitation in recommending Julian to any of our friends / colleagues.

Jessica and Jullian were very professional and we appreciate their effort to get the best results possible. All aspects of the campaign from start to finish we are extremely happy with. Their communication skills were Great job, well done. Will recommend Woodards.

Julian has great and in-depth product knowledge and experiences in the sale of development properties with plan and permit. He has successfully sold many properties like this. That's why we commissioned him and his team for the sale of this difficult property at the difficult time close to Christmas. We're never let down. We're very happy with the fantastic result exceeding our expectation. Anyone who wants to sell any property with plans and permits, he is the right agent for you.

Julian made selling my home in Vermont South a much less stressful process thanks to his exceptional knowledge and experience. The whole sales campaign was well organised and ran smoothly. I was so impressed with the regular feedback I received after each open. Overall I couldn't be happier.

Thanks to Jessica, Julian, Cameron and staff of Woodards. Very professional and helpful organisation. I could not fault the wonderful service offered by Woodards Blackburn.

The sale of our first family home was a very emotional time but entrusted this process with the team of Julian & Jessica at Woodards. Throughout the whole process they were outstanding. They were professional, always positive & efficient, they provided excellent service & anything we asked them to do was never a problem. We believe because of their excellent advice & professionalism, we attained the high price from the sale of our home. Thank you for your professionalism & making the sale journey a smooth & happy one.

From our very first meeting with Julian, his professional but relaxed approach gained our confidence. He listened to our concerns & addressed them in a genuine & empathic manner. Communication throughout the marketing of our home was faultless, giving us feedback following every Open for Inspection. He gave us a reasonable evaluation, & we were elated with the result on Auction day which exceeded much more than we'd hoped for. He and the team at Woodards Blackburn had a caring factor that stood out & fully met our concerns. So thankful! From 37 Barkly st Ringwood.

Julian Badenach was recommended to me by my partner Victor when my mother decided to sell her home and I'm very glad we made the choice to go with Woodards. I found Julian Badenach and Jessica Hellman to be professional, open and honest and approachable at all times. They were also mindful that his was an emotional period for my mother and were suitably respectful. The campaign prior to auction was well organised and thorough and we were kept informed at all times. Cameron Way is an extremely skilled auctioneer and did a magnificent job getting the best possible result on the day. I truly believe that had we not had this team we would not have had such a positive outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Julian, Jessica and Cameron to anyone wishing to sell their home.

Both Craig and myself are extremely happy the service and wonderful experience we had with Julian. Julian was always professional and encouraging at our meetings and on the phone. Julians knowledge of the industry and area was perfect. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julian Badenach to my friends when they are ready to sell. In other words we are extremely happy with our result on the day WELL DONE.

Dear Julian, I wanted to formally thank you and your team again for a wonderful job on selling our home at 23 Jeffery Street, Blackburn. The background research you undertook to establish the likely sales price was extensive and thorough, and immediately gave me confidence in placing the sale with you. The advertisement and photos were instrumental in attracting the many potential purchasers to the property. I was constantly amazed that so many people came through at the OFIs, even during the week. With the downward turn of the market, and the unique character of our home, it was clear that we hadn't found the right buyer by the time the auction was held. However, you calmly spoke to everyone of interest and developed genuine interest in the property in two buyers. It's really a dream come true to have two competing groups trying to outbid each other to purchase your home. I am so very pleased that we put our home in your hands. Everyone on your team was professional, courteous, thoughtful and punctual. Your team made us feel so special when so many of them attended the auction. It was as if we were the only clients you had. You provided constant communication, support, guidance and advice that was "spot on" through the whole process. A very big warm and heart felt thank you for all the hard work that you put into getting such a magnificent result on the sale of our home. Kind regards

Woodard's Blackburn provided us with a professional sales team that enabled the maximum number of potential buyers to attend our auction. Julian's negotiation skills were not required as the property sold at auction.

We as a couple were most impressed and satisfied with the service that Julian provided for us in the selling of our home. At no time did we feel under any pressure even though we we were in the process of making very important and major decisions. Julian and his team communicated with us throughout the four weeks during the selling period and they responded quickly when we needed to talk with them. We would highly recommend Julian to anybody thinking of selling their home. Yours sincerely

Julian's professionalism and honesty were evident in all our dealings. Julian's implementation plan for the sale of my fathers property was second to none and provided me with absolute confidence in placing my trust in Julian to execute the sale with our best interests in mind.

I was dreading selling my property, having lived there for almost twenty years. Woodards, and Julian in particular, made the process as painless as it could possibly be, providing me with much-needed support and advice. They referred me to various trades and services, ensuring that the property was ready for the market and able to be viewed in the best possible light. We achieved a great result at auction and I couldn’t be more grateful.

In an industry which is fraught with the possibility of negative emotional commentary and behaviour, unsatisfactory results and irresponsible conduct from all stakeholders, it has been indeed a wonderful experience dealing with Julian and Woodards, Blackburn in general. As with the majority of Vendors, I believed my house to be way above the suburb's median value. Through professional and informative analytical data, plus respectful and patient conversations, Julian gave me the confidence to trust him with the sale of my home, a decision for which I shall always be thankful. Allowing him to exercise his extensive knowledge and utilise his 20 plus years in the real estate industry, resulted in an amazingly rewarding and positive experience for me. Julian's drive comes from his commitment to achieve the highest possible value for your property. My advice to anyone seeking to sell their home - allow him to do all the hard work! Just sit back, relax and know that your property is in safe hands!!

Julian and Jessica sold our house and we were very happy with our choice of agents. They are very professional, well organised and very pleasant and down to earth to deal with. They came to the initial meeting well prepared and were upfront about fees which was refreshing compared to other agents we had met. I would not hesitate to use them again and they get my full recommendation. Thank you Julian and Jessica.

Julian was wonderful, very quick to respond to any questions, very knowledgeable about the area, enthusiastic, charming, fun, and found us our dream home. Would highly recommend Julian to anyone in the Blackburn South area.

Julian's strengths are his highly effective communication skills and detailed knowledge of the marketplace which proved invaluable in achieving an excellent result in the sale of the property on the weekend. The other attributes which were of importance was his ability to listen and offer high quality advice. If an opportunity arises in the future to sell another property we would not hesitate to return to Julian and have him manage the sale.

Having not sold a property before at auction before I was extremely particular with my agent selection. My wife and I were extremely impressed with Sam and Julian from our first meeting where they offered tips on where to spend money to maximise our sale price. Throughout the auction campaign their communication was fantastic always keeping us informed of interested parties and their feedback. We are very happy with the service provided and would definitely use them again! Thanks again!

It's hard to find a better agent than Julian in the area. He's honest and transparent, something I appreciated both as a previous buyer of another property he was selling and as a vendor in this case. In comparison, I've sometimes found other agents would cherry pick the facts they present to you, or I'd get the impression they were not always telling the full story. Not the case with Julian, who I always felt presented the true state of the market and was able to communicate the facts well. Always professional and hard-working. Happy with the outcome and also the way the marketing campaign was conducted.

Julian is great to deal with - this is the third time I have utilised his expertise. He is professional, adept at listening & was mindful of my 89 yr old mother’s needs during this stressful time for her. His knowledge around the Box Hill area & the strategies he proposed for mum’s sale all came to fruition at the auction. My mother was so happy with the outcome. On a final note, Julian has a wonderful sense of humour that produced many much needed laughs for us along the way.

Thank you & congratulations to the Woodards team on facilitating a great outcome in the sale of our home. The Blackburn Office operates strongly as a team & created & managed a campaign that ensured we had a broad range of buyers at the auction to ensure a competitive environment whish led to a strong result. I would have no hesitation & in fact have already recommended Julian.

Julian Badenach and Jessica Hellman, our team from Woodards Blackburn, were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and handling of our recent campaign which resulted in a better than expected sale price. Following recommendations from several friends who had previous successful dealings with Julian and Jessica, and after our initial meeting, we had no hesitation in placing the sale of our property in their hands. From the beginning, their calm and confident management of the whole campaign, together with their advice and regular communication, helped put us at ease during the lead up to the sale. Their Auctioneer, Cameron Way, also was excellent and we are most grateful at his handling of the sale on the day. We thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering selling their property in the Blackburn area.

We were, of course, delighted with the result, as well as with the experience of working with Julian and Jessica. We felt that at all times, we were in the hands of professionals who know the business and know how to work effectively in the market. The feedback and progress reports were greatly appreciated; we felt we were kept well informed throughout the campaign. We would have no hesitation in recommending Woodards, Blackburn, and Julian in particular.

We were very happy with the service provided by Julian for the sale of our family home. His knowledge of the local area and the current market was excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending Julian to family and friends.

No hesitation in recommending Julian Badenach (Woodards) if you are thinking of selling in the Blackburn area. I have known him for many years and have conducted several purchases and sales through him. Very professional and knowledgable

Julian, and Woodards Blackburn were incredible from start to finish. I would highly recommend their services.

We couldn't be more delighted with the way our sale was handled primarily by Julian Badenach and Jessica Hellman. Tyrrell Ave is the 3rd property that Julian has sold for our family over the last 11 years. Julian has the delightful balance of professionalism and personal warmth and his availability over the campaign has been unstinting. Jessica has a delightful personality for real estate sales work and answered questions in a very measured and mature way. The reports from Open for Inspection days have been very comprehensive and always followed up by a phone call. We were very impressed with the Midway and Pre-Auction Meetings and well researched Marketing reports, it was obvious that there was a lot of work behind the scenes leading up to Auction Day. I don't think that we had any questions leading up to Auction Day that weren't anticipated and explained. Auctioneer Cameron Way lived up to his reputation and sold the property very astutely, I think we are all pinching ourselves regarding the result. We are laying low at the moment as the sale of our property seems to be quite a talking point in Blackburn. Rest assured that whoever we speak to we are highly recommending Woodards to them and pointing out Julian's length of service in the area.

POSITIVELY fulfilled punctually every appointment with us and follow up was just as effective. Answered questions without being evasive . In our experience was always very friendly and trustworthy. We always felt he had our best interests at heart. Very satisfied with his knowledge of Real Estate and the way he related {with praise} towards his fellow staff team. We too always felt at ease on every occasion There is no reason why we would not highly recommend sales ability

Julian was an excellent agent to negotiate with. He was always respectful. Never pushy. Clear in what the owner wanted and easy to work with.

Julian was assigned a difficult task in selling my property. He took on the challenge and not only was a sale achieved but at a price that far exceeded my expectations. A great result.

My experience with Julian & Woodards could not have been better. From the moment I met Julian, he exuded warmth and a genuine interest in me and my home. Julian was very professional throughout the whole campaign, keeping me up to date along the way. Julian provided excellent advice based on his extensive experience which resulted in a fantastic outcome at auction.

Julian helped us sell our mother's home. Mum's house was very run down and we had to sell it in a hurry. His advice about how much to do to the house and his contacts with local trades people were absolutely crucial to making this difficult process as smooth as possible. His hard work also got us a great result with 3 bidders on the auction and a sale price that was $155,500 over the reserve in a very tight market. His communication during the whole process was also top notch. Really couldn't have done this without him and all the great staff at Woodards.

Julian's wealth of experience was evident from the outset and his skilled management of sale campaign resulted in seamless experience for my ageing parents moving into next chapter of their lives. The end price achieved in the current market exceeded our expectations and was a wonderful result for our family. We collectively thank you Julian and would not hesitate to recommend you to family and friends for all their real estate needs.

We find Julian not only to be friendly, patient and helpful but extremely professional and on point in the way he goes about his business. Julian Badenach will go above and beyond to achieve the highest sales result possible for his clients. I would recommend Julian selling your property!

We have nothing but praise for Julian (and Jessica) in the process of selling our home. His sales strategy and advice was clearly based on many years of experience and his thorough understanding of the Blackburn market. Over the period of the campaign we were astounded at the amount of background work that was put in to find and cultivate prospective buyers, which in the end came to fruition with a fantastic auction result. We have no hesitation in recommending Julian as your agent.

We are delighted with Julian (and Jessica's ) efforts in that the house was sold over 2 weeks before auction, and for a very good price. Julian kept us informed through the sale, and explained his strategy at each stage. We were impressed with his ethical approach. When an written offer was submitted he contacted all other parties, had an extra Open for Inspection and met with those who put in an offer. This led to a very pleasing result.

Julian is an outstanding agent that demonstrated a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for our property. He worked tirelessly throughout the entire campaign and nothing was a burden. He kept us well informed, provided sound advice and never missed a beat. A thorough professional and gentleman with exceptional sales experience, market nous, great rapport and ability to negotiate a solid result. We have nothing but praise. Julian and the Woodards Blackburn team are truly amazing.

Professional expertise and insightful reassurance in uncertain times Even though it was impacted by the coronavirus "lockdown", the sale of our house through Woodards' Julian Badenach (and Jessica Hellman) has been a very positive experience for us. From providing helpful advice about preparing our house for sale (including arranging a stylist consultation which gave us valuable presentation tips), through developing an auction campaign which they then adapted to a Deadline Private Sale campaign, then to successfully finalising our sale two weeks ahead of the original deadline date, Julian and Jessica have been thoroughly knowledgeable, professional, honest, respectful and reassuring. Their attention to detail and communications with us throughout the whole process were exemplary, as was the extra time and effort they had to put into individual buyer inspections necessitated by social distancing rules. Overall, we could not have been happier.

Excellent service. Great sale outcome We chose Julian & his agency from online information. We are delighted that our choice proved to be so sound. Julian was prompt responding to our online enquiry and from the time of our first meeting,the next day, he was open, honest and most professional. Julian and his staff were always available, helpful and worked really hard to sell the property.. A neighbour commented how frequently inspections were occurring. A process which we were rather apprehensive about, was made so painless!

Julian and his team from Woodards were exceptional!. His knowledge of the current climate was up to date and extremely helpful. We live overseas and his gentle guidance in all areas, climate,economy,staging, recommendations for improvements etc, were spot on.Could not have done it without them. His team (Isabella and co) were punctual in giving us feedback on Open for Inspections and followed through with the all customers who were interested which resulted in an above reserve sale on the day.

Our intuition to entrust the sale of our home to Julian proved correct. He was direct and easy to deal with. I felt that his years of experience combined with his respectful and forthright manner made the whole process go very smoothly which was a real feat under these difficult times.

Julian was an absolute joy to deal with. We felt we were in assured and confident hands from the very beginning. Our unit was being prepared for sale during the lockdown in Melbourne which meant we couldn’t attend so Julian and his team stepped up and got things done with grace and good humour. Julian’s guidance kept us on track when we felt overwhelmed and the unit sold In a matter of weeks for a very fair price. I can’t recommend Julian highly enough.
