Our Team
John Verduci
Principal / Licensed Estate Agent
Experienced in selling all types of property, John has a thorough understanding of client’s needs and specialises in new developments and construction. He is also involved in property development and construction and is able to provide valuable advice to clients in the same industry.
Expert in sales and fully licensed since 2002, John gives nothing less than 100%, whether it is a small one-bedroom flat in Sunshine or a three-storey office building in Footscray.
Cross cultural links are vital for business in such an ethnically diverse area. John believes the values he has from his Italian background are similar to those of many other cultures. From them he understands the need for confidentiality, respect and trust as the basis for business and friendships.
Results and experience aren’t only measured in dollars, but it’s hard to go past the $130 million worth of property John has brought to the business since starting his career back in 1991.
Terry Cooper
Senior Sales Consultant
With over fifty years in the real estate game, Terry Cooper’s level of knowledge and experience is almost unmatched in Melbourne. A lifelong “people person”, Terry has the gift of the gab and considers it an honour to meet and assist people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
As much as he loves a good chat, Terry is also an excellent listener, something he says is indispensable when it comes to looking after clients. “You can’t sell people’s property if you don’t listen,” says Terry, and his clients come to him knowing that he’s going to keep their needs and wants front of mind.
His local knowledge is another distinct advantage. Terry has worked in Footscray for his entire career, bar two years, so it’s safe to say he knows the area like the back of his hand. No matter how long he’s been doing it, Terry is always striving to do better in his work — to net a bigger sale, exceed customer service expectations and make the buying and selling experience a pleasure for all involved.
Some of the many awards he’s received during his career include Top Constructional Referrer (four times), Top Volume Seller (three times), and the Agent of the Year award in 2018.
A mad sports fan, Terry has been a player and is a committee member of a number of different local sporting clubs such as the Footscray West & Albion football clubs (past president of both), Footscray City cricket club and Cobden football, netball and cricket club.
When he’s not selling houses or watching his beloved sports you might find him at the racing track — he owns a racehorse —cooking, or propagating orchids.
