Adam Vernon Principal

We used Adam from Vernon Partners to sell our home and he and his team were outstanding. Before choosing a real estate agent, we conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. Vernon Partners stood out as the best Mosman had to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings. We spoke with Adam and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Adam made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should). When we saw our listing we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing. Our house went under contract and Adam walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. Overall, Adam is exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely patient, and very dedicated to his clients. We completely and fully endorse his services, and the services of his team at Vernon Partners, to anyone buying or selling a home.

Adam approached me to see if I was interested in selling my apartment after a buyer had missed out out on another apartment in the building. I was a bit of a reluctant seller but Adam was very reassuring and informed and got me a very decent price that both myself as a seller and the buyer were very happy with. I was a first time seller and believe it is often much more stressful and complicated than with my experience with Adam. He also assisted in getting me a fabulous rental property through Vernon's for the interim. I would recommend him highly to others and will use him for any upcoming buying or selling I may have in the future

Adam has a friendly nature. He and his colleague Shelley McShane provided sound marketing and sales advice during the preparation stage of placing our unit on the market. Their team of stylists converted our much loved small but overcrowded unit into a vogue apartment worthy of our asking price. The online marketing webpage designed by Adam and Shelley created interest within an hour of going live with 3 contracts being issued prior to the first inspection. We sold our unit after the first inspection date with the buyer agreeing to our asking price. Adam organised our solicitor, who we found to be again very approachable. I have no hesitation in recommending Vernon Partners and wish Adam, Shelley, and the team at Vernon Partners all the best for the future. Regards,

Adam's knowledge of the likely market and appeal of my property proved to be spot on. He suggested the most likely buyer would be a family living in the local area, and this influenced my advertising spend. Adam was also a master at dealing with the tenants, as the property was tenanted at the time of the inspections, and this proved to be a great help in improving the look and appeal of the property. This is the second property that Adam has sold for my family and no doubt we will engage him again.

We got close to the price we wanted - 13 Sep 2018 Our house was a waterfront executive home of 1980s style in a mixed market. We achieved 20% above the price the other 2 real estate agents we interviewed considered a market price. Selecting an interiors house stylist was more important than we thought. Negotiation by the agent was key to the successful sale as there was not enough interest for an effective auction at the price we thought appropriate.

Adam and his team were a pleasure to work with. They made such a positive contribution right through the sales process. They were thoroughly professional and followed up with everything they said they would. We would highly recommend them.

Vernon partner were our first choice when we decided to put our house up for auction. We have been living in Mosman for over 20 years and have bought and sold properties in the area, as well as rented and have dealt with various local agents in the past. What was different about Vernon partners is that straight away I felt comfortable when dealing with them. Adam is a part of a sincere, honest, hardworking team that kept us well informed during the campaign. They were always available and were amazingly accurate with their estimation of the value of the property and achieved the desired outcome in a short time. The team was spot on in presenting the house to it's full potential with very little financial outlay. Vernon Partners are a fresh of breath air in what is otherwise a very stale arena of housing agents. They handled the campaign without fault and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a competent agent to manage their property portfolio.

When it came to selling our property we immediately thought of Adam and Shelley. We had bought the property from them, we had a good experience at that time and so it seemed the natural choice. Adam and Shelley came to see us and gave us a sensible estimate of sales price which we were happy with. Our preference was to sell quietly at first, without a full campaign, and Adam and Shelley told us they had plenty of good buyers in their database. They organised the open home and got 15 buyers through from the data base. This lead to 3 different offers straight away. They continued to market the property with private inspections and, in fact, got an Even better offer! Needless to say ...we sold the property and we are thrilled !!

Adam worked tirelessly for us readying the house for sale and organising everything from gardening to furniture, styling and patch up work. He made the process effortless and kept us constantly informed of offers and his negotiations. He even organised a conveyancer and building report! You can't go wrong with Adam.

We have had the pleasure of working with Adam as buyers, landlords, and now sellers. On all occasions, our experiences have been flawless. Put simply, Adam and his team are excellent at what they do. For us, Adam's trustworthiness and personal approach make him a stand out. On top of this, Adam has superior in-depth market knowledge, he has been very responsive and he has consistently provided us with updates on progress of our sale. We are very satisfied with our experiences and strongly recommend Adam and Vernon Partners.

Shelley and Adam made the whole process of selling our apartment hassle-free. They demonstrated a good knowledge of the local market, understood our expectations well, provided sound advice and communicated with us throughout the campaign. This resulted in a good sale after just three open days.

Dear Adam I would like to thank you and your team for the hard work put into the sale of my house. It was a fantastic result and would not have been achieved without your continual dedication that everything was perfect at each opening and on the day. Your commitment and persistence to obtain the best price was much appreciated. Please also thank the Auctioneer, who did an amazing job in lifting the final figure for us all. I wish the Agency every success and good luck for the future

The final result was far greater than expectations Vernon Partners were very friendly and easy to deal with, providing guidance and offering good advice. Mitch and Adam were outstanding in promoting and selling my apartment, they kept me updated after every opening. I was ecstatic to be able to sell before auction, and they negotiated an outstanding end result. I would absolutely recommend Vernon Partners to anyone wanting a professional real estate service

We had the pleasure of dealing with Adam & Mitch for the sale of our property in Mosman and couldn't be happier with the result. Adam was recommended to us through several avenues (one being one of the head honcho's at domain.com.au!) and lived up to our high expectations, going far beyond the call of duty throughout the process. Adam & Mitch navigated the delicate process of dealing with existing tenants like a true professional to ensure their ongoing cooperation. Their communication and advice was excellent and kept us informed and relaxed throughout the sale. Their local knowledge and professionalism was key to achieving a quick and impressive result. Adam is a passionate and hardworking agent that we simply cannot fault. Thank you Adam & Mitch! Now onto the next chapter of finding our forever family home!

Foremost in our minds from the initial consultation with Adam Vernon - Senior Partner and Mitchell McClintock when my wife Carolyn & I decided to place our property on the Real Estate Market, we were extremely impressed with their upfront principles and their honest approach to the best way to sell our townhouse. Resulting from the initial 'Open House' and subsequent days , Adam would relay to Carolyn & I at the conclusion of each event an assessment of the proceedings ; At all times we were very comfortable in the manner Adam was controlling the marketing of our property Adam had predicted that the interest shown in our townhouse by intending purchasers was such , that it would most likely sell prior to the scheduled auction date ; And he was correct A lot has to said in favour of 'Boutique Businesses' , Adam Vernon has set-up his operation along these lines, in our words 'Small is Superior' . As Vendors Carolyn & I could not be happier with the result , and well pleased with the honesty & ethics of Vernon Partners

Adam made the horribly stressful experience of selling a dream for us - negotiating a great sale within 9 days of being on the market resulting in both very happy sellers and buyers. Adam's knowledge of the market and his professionalism were exceptional. We felt in very safe hands with an agent who was never too busy to give us frequent and full feedback during our (very short) campaign. We would thoroughly recommend Adam and his team at Vernon Partners. Thanks again Adam.

We engaged Adam Vernon to sell our property in Mosman NSW after a recommendation by one of our neighbours and after we had attended an open house and an auction of another property by the Vernon Partners agency. We had previously met with several other local agents to discuss the sale and potential listing. After that auction Adam spent some time with us chatting and we were able to get to know some more about him and Vernon partners. We had bought and sold many properties in the past and dealt with many real estate agents over the years. Adam''s attitude and manner was so enthusiastic and positive in an absolutely natural way, we could discern that Adam is a very experienced and effective natural negotiator and very straightforward and a pleasure to deal with. We straight away wanted him on the team for our auction campaign and we were also impressed with the conduct of the auction by his auctioneer. So we engaged Vernon Partners to sell our house. The decision was a no-brainer for us. Adam's advice and understanding of the market proved to be absolutely spot-on, and the marketing campaign he recommended resulted in a huge number of enquiries and inspections of the property. Again Adam's strategy advice prior to the auction and his recommendations for the reserve price and the vendor bid (which was not required) were exactly right as it turned out, with the bidding passing those levels and resulting in a sale price which was much higher than we thought we could hope for. We were very excited about the result and very happy that we had chosen Adam to sell the property for us. We highly recommend Adam and the Vernon Partners agency to anyone thinking of selling. We will definitely be recommending him to anyone who asks about our own experience.

Many thanks to Vernon Partners for making the purchase of my unit a very pleasant experience, Shelley was very obliging with all my questions and made sure I was happy with everything. She also was very pleasant, personable and had a very caring nature. It was pleasure to deal with Vernon Partners.

We have had the pleasure of selling through Adam and Mitch and it was a very positive experience and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is serious about selling their property. Can't thank the team enough for all their hard work!

My husband and I would like to thank Adam & Mitch for recently selling our house in Mosman. Their expertise and knowledge of the market meant that we were able to attain the price that we wanted for our our house. Adam & Mitch are friendly and easy to work with, we would highly recommend them.

Adam and Mitch, we would like to thank the both of you (and no doubt the back-office staff) for all the help and importantly advice during the sale of the house. I think the price was fair and is consistent with the pre-marketing advice. So we have now bought and sold through Vernon Partners and would sincerely recommend you to others. It's still amazes me to think we met you on the Monday, had the furniture moved out on the Tuesday, the show furniture moved in on the Wednesday, the photos and video done on the Thursday and the first home viewing on the Saturday. Some achievement. Perhaps the abiding memory is of Mitch hosing down the back deck in his suit whilst I was overseas. Please don't hesitate to ask prospective clients to speak to us if they would like to hear our experience.

Adam and Mitch looked after the sale of house whilst I was living in another country. Because of this I was worried that distance would provide a barrier to me knowing what was going on and if any small repairs needed to be done to achieve the best price. Adam and Mitch overcame this by being in constant contact via telephone and email. They arranged the repairs and styling of the house for the viewings. The advertising schedule was very sensible. It was all too easy and everything was wrapped up fast.

Vernon Partners made the buying of our investment unit a very smooth process. We found Adam very approachable and professional. He was flexible about showing us properties and clearly very aware of the local market. He communicated clearly and was supportive through the exchange process. The Vernon Partners Team work so well together and after our purchase Melissa was fantastic at finding us tenants. She thoroughly explained everything that we signed and took the time to properly answer any questions. She was never late and was always only a phone call or email away if we needed her. Her careful attention to detail was impressive. We would have no hesitation in recommending Vernon Partners whether you are buying, selling or looking for property management. 

Adam did a great job of selling my property - it is without hesitation that i recommend Adam to all of my friends and family. Adam sold my property for a great price in three days - thank you!

I was very pleased with my purchasing experience. The agent was attentive and helpful every step of the way which made for a seamless purchase.

This is the second property which Adam has sold for us ....great results on both occasions. He has integrity, intelligence and a strong work ethic. I highly recommend him.

Adam is by far the best agent I have ever dealt with. His understanding of the market and desire to achieve the best outcomes for you if you are buying or selling set him apart. I recently sold my apartment and my wife and I agreed it was the easiest process we have ever experienced! His advice on the property marketing and styling made a huge difference to our apartment at the time of the sale. So Well done Adam and to his team, hopefully other people who use your services will be as happy as we were!

We just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for the great service we received in the purchase of our new home, plus the sale of our existing home.

The level of customer service and professionalism from you and your team was exceptional.

The purchase of a new house and the sale and an existing one can be a very stressful period.

However, we managed to do both successfully in a very short period of time. Thank you for the guidance and advice throughout the process. We are very satisfied with the outcomes we achieved.

Now it’s time to enjoy the new home!

Once again, thanks.

I want to thank both of you for going above and beyond in helping us to sell our apartment at top price. 

Thanks for liaising with the tenant, organising the painting, the staging, repairing the lock and the list goes on and on. 

You guys are the best!!!

We were lucky to have you representing us.

It's the personal touch that struck us as the point of difference with Vernon's, Adam and the team consistently and effortlessly went over and above. There is a friendly transparency and honesty which gave us confidence, we achieved a great result without the anticipated stress a house sale can bring, which was invaluable to us with a brand new baby.

We cannot thank the team enough for the whole experience, we were expertly guided through it taking Adam's advice at each step which took a weight off our shoulders.

We are extremely happy with the end result and whole experience.

Of all the agents I called on Saturday afternoon, Adam was the only one who returned my phone call. He showed me a property twice on the public holiday Monday – early in the morning and late in the afternoon and I made an offer that evening and bought it in the same week.  It wouldn’t have been possible, had it not been for Adam’s willingness to go above and beyond for his vendor and show me the property that specific day. 

I would like to express my thanks & appreciation to you and your staff for the helpful & willing assistance given to me throughout the process of selling my home by auction.

This move after 38 years was a very stressful time for me & it helped considerably that you and your staff were always so understanding and willing to assist.

I would not hesitate to recommend your company in the future.

Thank you once again.

Thank you for the successful sale of our apartment. We were very happy with the way you managed the sale process and thrilled with the result from the auction. After a previous failed auction campaigned with another local well known agency, we were cautious around pricing and management of the potential buyers. We openly expressed our concerns with you and you quickly addressed them by clearly explaining your pricing and buyer management strategies.

Unlike many agents, you didn’t just tell us what we wanted to hear, but you told us how it really was and kept your pulse on the current market, not last month’s sentiment. We appreciated your excellent communication and follow up with both us and prospective buyers, exploring options we initially didn’t consider. Your thinking outside the traditional framework resulted in many genuine interested parties who were eager to pre-register for our auction a week in advance. Your experience and networks in the industry resulted in beautifully styled apartment and two unexpected articles in the media!

The difference between and average agent and a skilled one is obvious when the market is weak – which it was in December with quite a high percentage of properties being passed in at auction. We put the success down to your initial marketing and pricing strategy, as well as the manner in which you managed the buyers – including the distractions. On auction day, we were impressed with how well you staffed the room to ensure the property looked its best and the various bidders were managed.

….and your commitment to us didn’t end with the auction, as you continued to address all issues right up until settlement.

So thank you for a fantastic result from beginning to end. We will recommend you to anyone selling or buying on the Lower North Shore.

Thank you so much for your invaluable advice, patience and wonderful result in the recent sale of my mother’s home in Neutral Bay.

My faith in your ability was well rewarded and by following all your professional advice the property presented well and sold so I quickly I did not have time to breathe. Brilliant!

It was interesting to read a recent article in ‘The Village Observer’ which concluded that the key to selling a property is the focus, attention and negotiating ability of the real estate agent. These attributes you have in abundance.

Thank you once again.

We are most grateful to you for the expert way you handled the sale of our house.

We always felt in the most capable, thorough and caring hands. You can be assured we will recommend you to everyone.

You are a gem. Thank you.

We approached three agents when we came to sell our house.  Initially we rejected Vernon Partners in favour of a different company.  Despite this Adam kept in touch, sending us relevant information about our area and things that may impact on the sale – still helping and supporting us despite the fact that he was not selling our property.  This went on for a whole year with the company we had chosen failing to secure a sale and advising us to drop our price.

After a year we went back to Vernon Partners and engaged them to sell our property.  Adam’s approach was professional, methodical and clear.  Everything he said he would do was done exactly the way he presented it, on time and to a high standard. 

Within a month he had sold our property for more than the original price.  We recommend Vernon Partners without hesitation.  If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, professional consultant you would do well to phone Adam and Jasmina first.

Vernon Partners have a very honest approach to their work and they treat you as a individual rather than ‘just another person on the books’. We had no hesitation in approaching them for a quote and they always had our best interests at heart.  Adam gave us really good feedback and helped us with our presentation – they were fantastic.  We would definitely use them again.

You had such conviction around selling our property, you were certain you could as the first agent couldn’t. Your knowledge of the building and area were second to none, you used a qualified database and gained a good price offer in a tough market. You were polite, professional and worked hard on our behalf.

What I liked most about using your services was your professionalism and commitment to selling our property. The way you gave us all the options but didn’t push one over the other and gave us time to review and make a decision regarding our sale. You had some great ideas to sell our property that we had not thought of ourselves.

The marketing plan you recommended worked well to attract a number of interested buyers. You kept us informed at every step and went out of your way to get us a good price AND we got an excellent price for our property. You gave us confidence that we were dealing with first class property sales professionals.

We recently asked Adam for advice regarding the current real estate market and he proved to be very knowledgeable and realistic in his advice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adam for any real estate sale in the Mosman area.

Buying your first home is exciting, stressful and uncertain. Adam's expertise, advice and personable style were just what we needed. In a competitive industry, Adam's approach and touch of class set him apart. Whether you're buying or selling, Adam and Vernon Partners should be your first choice.

A fast and easy sale. You already had buyers on your books that were looking in my area and price range. You were open, honest and easy to deal with. You made me feel confident and at ease with the sale. You were easy to contact and you kept me well informed of what was happening. You listened to my needs and followed through on them.

I would recommend you to family and friends because you were easy to deal with and instil a sense of confidence.

Thanks to you both for your efforts in securing the sale of our apartment within a month and during a period of particularly woeful economic news. We would recommend your husband and wife team again without hesitation.

I just wanted to send you a short note thanking you both for the terrific job you did selling my house at 35 Brightmore Street, Cremorne in November of last year. You achieved an excellent result in selling the property at auction, in a buyers’ market, with 6 registered bidders on the day.

From the first meeting, I was impressed with the professionalism and clear communication that you brought to the table. Both of you were very honest in your assessment of the property’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as very open about the pros and cons of various marketing and sales options.

Feedback after every inspection was very prompt and Adam was always very clear in discussing where he thought the various potential buyers were up to. I also appreciated the assistance you both gave in helping me get the property ready for sale.

I would recommend you without hesitation to others as I was very confident with your honesty and your ability to achieve the best possible price. You are a great team and I wish you both every success in the future.

Thank you again.

Thanks very much for your very impressive efforts to market and sell my mother’s unit.

I was indeed lucky to be recommended your services. As a team working closely together, you both introduced a palpable energy that was both reassuring and productive, not to mention fun. I will have no hesitation recommending your services to anyone. The company may have a name but the people working there are the real assets. Well done.

The stylising of the unit was stunning and I am sure sealed the deal. Many thanks again to the both of you.

I have no hesitation in recommending Adam Vernon. He worked very hard to ensure our property was sold in a short timeframe, resulting in a great price which we were very happy with. I found him a pleasure to deal with; he always did what he said he would and often exceeded our expectations.

During the marketing campaign we had great interest at the open homes; he obviously has a great network of both buyers and sellers which he has built up over time. Adam ensured that at all times we were fully informed of potential buyers and their feedback.

Adam marketed the property with professionalism; he listened to our requirements and understood our expectations. At no time did he discuss the need to reduce our expectations or change the way he thought we needed to market the property, even when our relocation date neared. He worked with both us and the buyers to obtain a great price and the house was under contract before we had left Mosman for Queensland!

If the opportunity arose I would happily purchase or sell again with Adam.

Adam was extremely approachable and we felt very comfortable dealing with him. He was very professional and always available, returning phone calls promptly.

The recommended marketing plan worked well and we got an excellent price for our property, selling fairly quickly for a fair price in a hard market.

Both Adam & Jasmina are extremely likeable people; they kept us up to speed all the time. They have a fantastic knowledge of the Mosman area and know what price is achievable.

I saved myself a lot of stress by dealing with someone who was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of property sales. You told me exactly what I needed to do to present my property so that I would maximise its appeal to buyers. And you told me the price range that I would probably get for my property, rather than giving me an unrealistically high expectation that was not accurate.

The things I liked most about using your services were your knowledge of the area, and your professional attitude. You kept me fully informed at every stage of the marketing process so I knew exactly what was happening and kept me up to date with the progress of the sales process.

I would recommend your property services to other people because of your expertise in the industry and positive attitude toward any problem that arose during the sales period.

After working with two other agents and no sale being achieved, we worked with Adam & Jasmina Vernon who had offers on the table in the first week and had our property under contract in the second week. Adam assisted with the styling of our property and was always in touch, keeping us updated at each stage of the process. To me an agent is measured on the results they achieve, and Adam & Jasmina achieved our result in two weeks.

What I liked most about using your property sales services was that I was given good feedback on how to display my property. It was very well marketed with a professional marketing process and you were very accommodating to my schedule.

I was kept informed with the progress of the marketing and sale of the property which was quick and efficient and the benefit I received was getting a good price. My requests were all met and that is why I would recommend your property services to other people.

The sale of our home was handled superbly by Adam and Jasmina. They were extremely knowledgeable of local sales and were able to give us an HONEST and accurate appraisal price for our property before putting it on the market.

Knowing Adam had sold a lot of property in the area gave us confidence in his ability and we knew that he had a lot of good buyers on his database.

Adam advised us well in terms of our auction strategy and we were very comfortable with this approach. He assisted us to ‘present’ the house ready for sale, and in fact, we moved out of home for the 4 week campaign and ‘styled’ the entire house.

After only 10 days Adam had sold the house for us at a price much higher than our expectation and the purchaser was so impressed with the presentation of the house that they bought a lot of the hired furniture!!

We would highly recommend Adam and Jasmina Vernon to all our family and friends.

We strongly endorse Vernon Partners for any prospective home seller. We met Adam at an open house in Balmoral two years ago and instantly formed a strong rapport. The combination of Adam’s knowledge of the Lower North Shore market and his down-to-earth and genuine approach set him apart from all the other agents we have met. In 2012 we engaged Adam’s services to sell our Mosman unit while we were overseas. From beginning to end, Adam managed everything and through an intense negotiation process achieved the best possible sale price for us.  We would never look further than Vernon Partners in our future property sale.

Adam did everything he said he would do, kept us informed regarding every aspect of the sale, achieved a price over our highest expectation. In addition to that, the property was bought by an investor and Adam even arranged for us to lease the property back so we didn’t even have to move out! We would recommend him to any of our friends and family.

Adam has a refreshingly different approach to property sales and consultation. He combines incredible energy and expert knowledge with a genuine interest in his clients. As first home buyers my partner and I felt instantly comfortable with Adam. We really felt that he was there to help us and we have continued to be impressed with his customer service style.

Adam was the selling agent of the apartment we are currently residing in, in Mosman. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with him and his team. Although he was the seller's agent, we felt that he also had our best interests in mind (a very rare quality in seller's agents!). Adam's service levels are exceptional and he has an excellent understanding of market conditions.

Adam was very conscientious and thorough in working through a tough market and tough clients to deliver a great result.

My family came across Adam when looking for a new home in Mosman about 5 years ago. Adam and his team have always shown great integrity and a determination to find us something that would suit the family and in a price bracket we could afford. I have always found him to be proactive and far more attentive than other agents in the same market.

Adam and his wife are a great team. We used Adam when selling our property in 2011. Adam is a consummate salesman, and one with great personality. One of his best qualities is his honesty. He will be truthful with you about your prospects for sale and will give you reliable and knowledgeable advice surrounding your sale, the local market and current market conditions.

Adam recently helped us to sell and purchase a property. Adam was incredibly responsive, diligent and energetic throughout the process. We had a short period of time to work with and Adam achieved an amazing result for us. We could not have been happier with the service and the outcome.

I have been in the property industry for quite a while now but I would have to say that Adam; even though I knew a lot of agents in the local area and had used previously, was persistent and when given the chance with one of our properties that failed previously, got the result we desired, quickly but was also very proactive in getting us the best result.
