My parents property was Auctioned on Saturday and the end result was pathetic. Liam Carrington listed the property and was dealing with my former sister who was the executor of the Estate. The bidding was between two bidders and then out of the blue they take a bid from an alleged mentally unstable women whom they said was allegedly on drugs. She increased the bidding by $145,000 knocking out the two genuine bidders. When they spoke with her and asked her to come in to sign the Contract she did not have the 10% deposit and said she would pay it on Monday, however Liam and the other Jellis Craig agents said that she wanted someone at the Auction to lend her the deposit monies and that's when the penny dropped with Liam Carrington and the other Jellis Craig Agents. They went back to the last genuine bid and sold the property to them on a 120 day settlement when the property is vacant. I have requested an earlier settlement however Liam Carrington advised that the purchasers could not settle earlier. As we are paying their fees that should have advised my former sister better and not read out at the start of the Auction a 30/60/90/120 day settlement. Instead they should have said that settlement will be in 30- 60 days and negotiated after the Auction. I believe that they have cost me thousands of dollars by accepting that bid and should have started the Auction again. I only found out yesterday from my Lawyer that the property sold for $145000 less as it was advertised in the Auction Results. Liam Carrington has acted unprofessional towards me and should have advised me after the Auction on Saturday what had occurred. I would never recommend Liam Carrington or Jellis Craig Brunswick to anyone. There are much better Real Estate Agents in Brunswick. My former sister selected them which just shows what a poor decision that was.

As his mother, Scafidi has worse grammar than that of a 5th grade child. In addition to this, his blatant racism. I am concerned and confused as to how he was even recruited in the first place. I will be cautious when seeking agents in future. All the Australians who have never experienced racism can step down from their high horse please, trying to justify this man’s behaviour. “Chinese products are indeed bad quality” Well mate I hate to tell you this, but if buy something thats cheap and was imported at the lowest price, you should expect respectively from the quality. If you were willing to spend more on the product you can just as well expect higher quality. Please make usage of your brains, thank you.

We used jellis Craig 10 years ago exactly and found them not to be working in our interests ! They first wanted us to settle for an amount $200,000 less than we were hoping for , on auction day they were absolute bullies , the manager/auctioneer of the Ivanhoe branch at that time actually yelled and got quite abusive when we refused to sell to the bidder under a certain price . Luckily my husband is more determined than I am and we stood our ground on the day and refused to buckle ,we sold 45 minutes later over the $1,000,000 mark which is what we believed our house was worth . Had we sold when JC advised we would have $180,000 less . Jellis Craig now in the news bullying an employee for supporting Australian products triggered my memory and I decided to write this review , better late than never . I will never use or recommend them again , clearly they prefer to kow tow to the overseas Chinese property investors and assist them in buying up Australian homes ahead of local home buyers . 😔😔

Matthew Scafidi is NOT a racist. I have sold recently through Matthew @ Jellis Craig and will always support this man. Now that i know what Jellis Craig have done i will never use them again. What a shame as he is the best in the business

Matthew Scafidi is a true Australian. I would have asked the same questions. If he doesn't get his job back I urge him to seek legal advice.

I have personally dealt with Matthew and he is definitely not a racist . I am a person of colour and can tell when some one is being racist. Asking if a product is made in China is not being a racist, it's merely being a discerning buyer. I also avoid products made in China if possible as they are of poor quality. Once again he and his team are the best in the business and this is some jilted competitor who is making a mountain of a mole hill.

Agree with the comment: the text he sent afterwards in response being asked to apologise is even worse than the original post. Get out of the area and get out of the industry!

I saw the racist comment posted by Jellis Craig - Mitcham by some body call Matthew Scafidi, please correct me if I am wrong! I am currently studying certificate II in security atm, and 1 of the things I learnt from the module was that Racial Discrimination is a CRIMINAL ACT. Could someone please educate me whether this person of JELLIS CRAIG will face prosecution???
