Jason certainly exceeded our expectations. He helped secure a buyer for our property with a tough time frame set by us. From our initial meeting we developed a strong relationship built on being upfront, honest and setting realistic expectations with each other. We developed a trusting relationship and never felt pressured to make a decision to sell. We consider Jason a friend, who is also an agent. We will look for his professional advice and support when buying or selling in the future.
Corey Stephens - Victoria Street, Beaconsfield
My husband & I were looking to upgrade to a family home as we were expecting twins & with already having a 20mth old our current home did not meet our needs. Jason was an absolute pleasure to deal with & ensured the process from offer to settlement was stress free & professional. He was transparent, trusting & proactive at every step. Our twins arrived days before settlement & Jason went over & above to assist us at what was a very busy time, making the home buying process a pleasant experience
Rebecca & Nick - Holmes Street, Maroubra
Jason Black sold my home in Lurline Bay and while this can be a very stressful process, I was always completely confident in his ability to achieve the best possible result.
Throughout the campaign, Jason kept me updated and provided feedback from potential buyers and ultimately negotiated a result which I was very happy with.
I highly recommend Jason for his professionalism, personal integrity, responsiveness and ability to smoothly negotiate an excellent outcome.
Mrs Maloof - Mermaid Avenue, Maroubra
Jason has so much positive energy for what he does!! He made us feel like we were his only clients. His attention to detail, knowledge of the market and advice was exemplary. We got way above our expectations because of his due diligence in closing the deal!!
Jason’s team were also very professional with the photo shoot and styling.
All I can say is “if you go with Jason Black you’ll never look back”!!!
Jenn & Scott Walker - Dudley Street, Pagewood
I truly believe that both Jason and Ashleigh made selling our family home a personal experience that no other agency could possibly come close to. From the start we felt all our needs considered and were assured that they would work tirelessly with honesty and integrity and showed complete competence to make the entire process of selling our much loved home as stress free as possible. The result was exceptional and the entire process was flawless! Thank you both so much !
Danny and Monica Elfes
We chose Jason Black to sell our home by considering 4 fundamental qualities:- integrity, market knowledge, transparency and dedication. Over the last 20 years we have come to know many agents who are active in our area and, in our opinion, Jason is the standout performer. His professionalism and attention to detail was very impressive.
He delivered for us in every sense and he was personally in control for the entire sale process.
We would recommend Jason Black as a selling agent to anyone.

Buyer & Seller experience
We have bought and sold with Jason on 4 occasions - such is our level of trust in his ability to act in our best interests on either side of the transaction. Jason is the most professional real estate agent in the industry. Buying our latest property we were comfortable every step of the way that the decision we were making was based on reliable information delivered by Jason in a very honest and straightforward manner. Most importantly, Jason's communication skills are truly outstanding.
Jason's experience of the local market greatly assisted us in selecting him to sell our property. Without a doubt Jason's advice to us on how to prepare our home for sale, and market it online was a key factor in the success we had with finding a buyer within the first week of the campaign. Jason's expert negotiating skills left us feeling confident that we would attract the best price for our home. Jason is an outstanding communicator and we would recommend him to anyone looking to sell.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Jason and Ashleigh and we have certainly found our trusting agents for the future.
Lysa McKenna - Wilson Street, Maroubra
We have known Jason for over 20 years and he has helped us with selling and also purchasing. Very professional and has enormous experience in the property market. The follow up from his support team being Ashleigh Black was also exceptional and we would recommend Jason & Ashleigh anytime.

Jason Black was personally recommended to us from family who were beyond happy with results he had achieved in selling their property. He also came highly recommended as "the agent you want to sell your home." We used Jason Black earlier this year to both buy and sell a property. Jason has excellent communication skills and kept us informed during both transactions, so we were always confident in any decisions we needed to make during the process.
Jason was always available to discuss our sale and his administration staff are extremely responsive and easy to deal with. We would not hesitate to use Jason Black Lifestyle Property again or to recommend them to anyone.
Best wishes and we will be passing on your details to anyone that is looking for an agent that has integrity, transparency but most of all has conviction in his ability to deliver.
Melissa Cowper- 43 Dacre St Malabar
Jason recently sold my nans house which had been in the family for 45 years. After careful consideration in choosing the correct agent we decided going with the Lurline Bay "specialist" and couldn't be happier.
It was a delicate situation as many emotions were involved. Jason was considerate to all members in the family and did a fantastic job with the whole campaign. I had previously sold my unit with Black the year before and the team treated me with respect and delivered from day one.
I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future. Very happy with the result.
Warm regards
Kirsten 24 Torrington Rd Maroubra
Jason assisted us in both buying a property at a fair price and selling our property for a great price. At every step in the buying process, Jason was transparent and communicative with us. He set realistic expectations for us on the property we ultimately purchased and ensured that we negotiated a set of terms with the seller that worked for both parties.
When we were considering buying the property Jason assured us that we would not regret buying the house in a street that ticked all the boxes, the location, proximity to amenities and views! And he was right.
Jason and his team also assisted us in selling our property. He was realistic about the possible price we could achieve for our property as opposed to other agents we had met who were setting unrealistic high sales results.
For us, we wanted to work with an agent that offered us local knowledge of the area, expertise in negotiating and someone who would take personal responsibility for getting the best possible sales result for our property.
Jason achieved all of these goals for us and we would highly recommend him as your sales agent.
Lysa and Gavan McKenna- 15 Hughes Ave Maroubra
This was the first time I had to sell a property, the situation made more difficult due to the house being in the family for more than 50 years. I had seen a few real estate agents before settling on Jason and found him to be extremely professional, upfront and honest. Jason and his team were always available to assist and answer any questions I had. The communication updates were regular, clear and concise, never at any stage did I feel left out or overwhelmed by the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jason because of his knowledge of the overall market conditions, professionalism, excellent communication and negotiation skills.
Richard Berger- 34 Denning St South Coogee
Jason was recommended to me as an agent by a friend in the industry to sell our old house in Maroubra. The property was unique and Jason handled the process with patience and professionalism. I would not hesitate in recommending Jason.
Best wishes

Jason we see you have now applied that skill and mindset into your own brand that you have already built a solid foundation for its future in the local community , I wish you all the very best and I certainly would recommend anyone seeking real estate advice to have no hesitation in contacting you.
Ron Coote - AM - President Men Of League
Jason,
Having used your services in the sale on both occasions with regards to our family homes was both pleasurable and financially rewarding to us , you delivered in every aspect from our initial meeting at our Mons ave, Maroubra home and then 6 years later when we engaged your services for our home in Manwarring Ave, Maroubra.
Jason you showed a level of commitment and conviction in every aspect and your detail to attention from the smallest possible thing right through to the closure of both sales was indeed refreshing to say the least and from those dealings to forge a friendship has been equally rewarding.
To sell our family home in Sydney whilst we remained in Brisbane and to leave that in your capable hands was a stress free process and your communication throughout the marketing program was exemplary and it is no wonder you are held in high regard throughout the business community.
Once again jason thank you very much for your experience and we certainly have no hesitation in passing on your details to family and friends.
Kindest thoughts and regards

Congratulations to Jason Black and his professional staff at the new and fresh business of Black Lifestyle Property. Jason is well known for his outstanding expertise and knowledge of the property market in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and the personal attention he brings to each and every sale, property and most importantly to the customers.
Whether searching for a house , semi or an apartment or if you're in the market for a sale at that , you will be presented with integrity and class as Black Lifestyle Property will be the one to use because of unmatched experience in the area.
I am constantly surprised at Jason's energy and enthusiasm for getting the right deal done for the vendor and buyer alike , simply put he is the best man for the job and Black Lifestyle Property is the best organisation to handle your greatest asset.
Well done Jason , I wouldn't use anyone else.
Keep up the great work.
Geoff Lawson - OAM - B Optom ( UNSW )
Dear Jason,
I wish to personally thank you for acting in an honest,straight forward and professional manner with our recent purchase of 51 York Road ,Queens Park. My past experience in purchasing property and dealing with real estate agents,prior to dealing with yourself was sceptical and untrusting to say the least. I had learnt through previous bad experience not to believe real estate agents in the sales process and to expect to be manipulated,taken advantage of and in the end gazumped when making an offer prior to auction. This is an all to common and frustrating experience for buyers in the eastern suburbs and as a result,there are some agents that you simply would not purchase from due to the manner in which they conduct business and the deceit they use in the process
In our dealings with you however , I feel that you represented the vendor extremely well,negotiated professionally on the sale and gave us a reassurance over your intentions to not unfairly deal with us in the closing stages of the sale process. This I must say was a refreshing experience that exceeded my expectations. It did reassure with me and alter my view that there are some real estate agents that can be trusted
As a result of our transaction,I would be more than happy to purchase from you again and use your services where I can. I would also be more than happy to recommend your services to any vendor or purchaser particularly where they need reassurance over integrity and honesty in real estate dealings
Kind regards
Fraser Duff - Managing Director - CARM Thinking
Dear Jason,
Thank you for a wonderful job that you carried out on our family home at 33 Mermaid ave,Lurline Bay ,it was refreshing dealing with an agent that delivered in every sense throughout the campaign.
Your enthusiasm ,dedication and sense of humour was a pure delight but your conviction in closing on a buyer and securing a sale was where you showed your professionalism and commitment.
It was obvious to me that your history and dominance in the market place was invaluable to our end result , and furthermore your follow up after the sale gave me a sense that we have found our agent for a long time to come.
Thank you jason to you and your team at Black Lifestyle Property

Dear Jason,
We selected you and your team to market 39 Cuzco St, Sth Coogee, on our behalf after a very careful process involving the strongest Agency competition in the area. The sale that was achieved has shown our decision to have been a very good one.
On behalf of the family I wish to extend our sincere thanks for an extremely good job in less then ideal circumstances. We would confidential recommend your team to other prospective clients.Yours sincerely
John Hayes
Dear Jason,
I would like to express my thanks for a job well done. I would like to also add that I indeed noticed the amount of effort you contributed to fulfil my expectations towards the sale.
You have demonstrated a devotedness that you naturally have for your clients and an inexhaustible amount of energy to carry it through with integrity. You have stuck to your word regarding every aspect of the sale and you treated me like a friend.
I would like to assure you that I would have still felt the same had you not sold the property, because sometimes efforts, as much as we would like them to, do not yield results.
Thanks again.
Yours Sincerely
Raymond Naoum
Dear Brent,
I am writing to thank you for selling my property so quickly and for working so hard to achieve my desired price.
I have bought and sold several properties over the last 30years and was exremely impressed by your enthusiasm, knowledge of the market and the strategies you employed to achieve the desired outcome within 10 days.
Your honesty and integrity was very refreshing in an industry that does not always aspire to these principals.
You kept me informed with the buyer feedback which enabled me to understand the situation of what was was happening.
I wish you all the best Brent in your future endeavours and once again express my sincere gratitude for making the whole process so simple and stressfree.Regards,
Kerry Clifford
Dear Sir or Madam
We recently sold our property through your office using Brent Foster as our agent.
Over the course of the sale he was extremely professional, responsive and provided everything we needed in a very cooperative manner. Being first time Vendors he was also generous with his tie to answer any and all question we had.
Furthermore we were more than pleased with the sales result and the influence Brent had on this.
We wish to thank Black Lifestyle Property and especially Brent for all of his help and would have no hesitation to use him as our agent in the future.
Regards,
M Ferris & E Thurgar
I write this letter of recommendation for the services provided by Brent Foster.
In 2006 I bought my first property off Brent Foster and in 2008 I employed him to sell that same property for me. As you would be aware, 2008 has been a year of economic turmoil internationally and which has severly affected the property market.
I would like to offer my full and unwavering support of any service that Brent Foster is involved in delivering to you. In both my purchase and my selling Brent has always been professional, hard working, able and determined to swiftly succeed in attaining a satisfactory transaction. He has a friendly and honest way of working which is unusual in the property business. For example, I didn't feel at all like I was being manipulated or treated like a fool as i have with other property specialists. In my experience, Brent appeared to go beyond what other specialists have offered in keeping me up-to-date daily with reports on interest and activity and administration. He also attended quickly to any query or changes that were requeried. He even drove the contract in to my solicitor to expedite the sale.
I highly recommend Brent Foster's service to you.
Yours sincerly
Dr Sandi Hill - Clinical Psychologist
To whom it may concern,
After making the decision to sell my property in Maroubra I begun looking around at a few different agents, a friend recommended that I meet Brent Foster of Black Lifestyle Property.
We met and he advised me of the current market, the type of people who would likely be interested in my property and what range of price to expect at that point in time and the best method of going about selling the property.
I told him I wanted realistic figures and to be totally objective throughout the process as this would affect my decision whether or not to sell. I liked his energy and manner and decided to go with him.
The property was sold and I was extremely happy with all aspects of the sale from start to finish including Brent's energy and attitude.
In fact, I sold a second property in Coogee, and was again thoroughly satisfied with all Brent's efforts. I think this action sums up my recommendation of Brent Foster.
