Being born into a real estate family meant Ross Kontossis was destined to follow in his father's footsteps and carve out a career for himself as a real estate professional. Ross' passion for managing, marketing and selling his clients' properties are unrelenting.
It's an obsession that has driven him to continue to serve the local real estate industry in Reservoir for the past 22 years, with no signs of it abating! Ross' real estate career started back in 2002 where he found himself given an opportunity to work with a team of three staff members and managing a rental portfolio of over 500 properties.
Needless to say, Ross hasn't looked back and not content to rest on his laurels saw an opportunity in 2007 to join a successful sales team within the Reservoir agency. He subsequently undertook and completed a Certificate IV in property, which provided him with his license to practice real estate and one day manage his own agency.
Ross' passion and desire to build a successful career in real estate and property is what continues to drive this young man. He is committed to achieving the best outcomes for his clients, a responsibility he does not take lightly. When it comes to taking time out of real estate for his other passions, nothing pushes Ross' buttons more than playing a regular game of soccer with his mates or going to see an AFL footy match at the MCG on a Sunday.

I am a Builder/Developer and have bought and sold many properties in the past 30 years and have dealt with many Real Estate Agents over this period of time. I can with confidence state that Ross is one of the most professional Real Estate Agents I have dealt with in the past thirty years.
I found Ross to be extremely hard working, dedicated, caring individual whom kept me informed throughout the sales campaign.
Ross has an impeccable knowledge of Real Estate Sales and values in the Reservoir area. His price valuation of what the property would sell for was right on the money. He demonstrated a genuine willingness to help throughout the sales campaign.
I wish to express a heartfelt thank you to Mr Ross Kontossis whom has portrait himself with such professionalism and integrity.
I believe this is a true reflection of your company’s commitment in service excellence.

Best experiences of all time. Ross possesses the skills and knowledge of a very professional real estate agent. He is genuine and provides you with the right solutions and works closely with you based on your circumstances. His communication skills are excellent and he has a great eye for detail so, you never seem to miss out on opportunities.
Athena (Vendor - 21 Sturdee Street, Reservoir)
In a difficult timing in the market we were able to sell our property through Ross from Barry Plant. Thank you for the experience and hard work.
Graeme (Vendor - 63 Howard Street, Reservoir)
Excellent advice and knowledge of our area, always contactable, nothing was too much trouble, everything including stylist and conveyancer was arranged through Ross. Our auction went exactly the way he had predicted and we can thoroughly recommend him to sell your property.
Lucia (Vendor - 24 Hosken Street, Reservoir)
The best agent and person to help across the world. I chose Ross based on references that confirmed he's the best professional and person who would do anything for you just to help you. Our house sale was exceptional because we live in Europe. The house was not inhabited for a long time, we don't have anyone in Melbourne, and Ross, despite this difficult situation, has arranged everything and is constantly helping. Ross is the greatest professional, his communication is exceptional, fast, even to the other side of the world. He is a very nice person who, in difficult situations, has been looking for the best solutions for us. Ross helped us find a cleaning service, gardener, he communicated with our lawyer and neighbours and a lot of other things that we can't do for ourselves because of the distance. His marketing services are excellent. Ross arranged the sale of the house very quickly with excellent conditions. We are still in touch, the company he represents helps us a lot. I think that our complicated case proved Ross's qualities. I highly recommend Ross, do not hesitate, you will be in good hands, you will never regret it.
Ron (Vendor - 41 Henty Street, Reservoir)
Ross was very professional, helpful and inclusive with good knowledge of properties in the area. I would like to thank Ross and the Reservoir Barry Plant office for the successful auction of 41 Henty Street. Ross & staff ran a very professional campaign that was inclusive and informative every step of the way. In fact Ross and Peter were very helpful and obliging long before we were able to engage Barry Plant as an Agent. Open for inspections were well attended and the property was marketed very well.
Ryan (Vendor - 58 Pallant Avenue, Reservoir)
Ross was excellent with communicating, very focussed and professional. He always on call and endeavour to help the owner to find the best way to sell the property. Ross's experience made the sale process as stress-free as possible for me. I would highly recommend Ross for the primary sales agent in the local area.
James (Vendor - 1/41 Dundee Street, Reservoir)
Ross helped us really well during the auction. We had two units, one of which got sold before the auction and the second one at the auction. Ross was very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. He maintained the attention of the people who came to the auction really well. Would highly recommend Ross.
Marion (Vendor - 48 Botha Avenue, Reservoir)
Barry Plant was my real estate agent, but Ross Kontossis was my realtor. Why did I choose Barry Plant, mainly because of Ross, although the fact that Barry Plant Reservoir had a strong profile within the reservoir area and was a long standing family business were also favourable to my selection criteria. The house was placed on the market during a time when the market was still uncertain in which direction it was going. Ross was in frequent contact with me, but I never felt he was being intrusive. Ross has a strong passion for the real estate industry and this showed through when you talked to him on real estate in general. I would say that Ross has impeccable manners, is open and honest in his discussions, readily available and committed. He worked hard on the sale of our property meeting potential buyers in the evening or on the weekend outside of hours. We had a 4 week sale plan with Barry Plant and Ross sold the property just under the 4 weeks with a result that we were delighted with. Thank you Ross.
