James was extremely professional, proactive, responsive, informative and hard working throughout the campaign. We were updated every step of the way. He went over and above strategies and how to present the property. On Auction day, James dealt with a nervous bidding group, overcame a few final jitters and ran an auction that well exceeded our price expectation.

Excellent job by Shaelyn showing us the unit. Walter helped us through the purchase process and was a pleasure to deal with, everything was handled in a professional and timely manner.

We meet James a number of times at similar houses to ours as we wanted to experience his service and knowledge potentially as our future agent. James simply outshone the competition when it came to his follow-up and results. We were extremely comfortable in appointing James and he did not let us down. We had over 180 people inspect our home and in our meeting with James prior to the auction James highlighted 4 strong groups he felt would bid at auction. He was spot on. All of those buyers competed at the auction plus 2 more. James really worked hard as our agent and even more so as our auctioneer when he squeezed the last 2 buyers to compete for more than $100,000. We highly recommend James and his Belle Property team.

James was an absolute pleasure to work with right from the get go. He was truly knowledgeable (as I was an out of area vendor) kept me well informed throughout the entire process, and quick to respond. Whilst we knew it was a challenging property to sell, he was transparent and no sugar coating, demonstrating honesty and integrity, yet still persistent and worked hard to market the property. Overall, we were very pleased with the result given the market conditions and challenging property. James managed to achieve our sale price with a quick settlement with no disruption to the existing tenancy which was a win win for all parties.

Great Communication and got the purchase done quickly

James was outstanding from making suggestions and a video to enhance the appearance of the apartment, through to diligence in returning calls and keeping the only interested buyer in touch, to the Auction on the day. James is a great communicator and was never lost for appropriate words, regular assurance and keeping the sales campaign on track. Highly recommended to even the fussiest of people wanting to sell a property.

Agents enthusiasm was high in the beginning, but I felt it dipped on some occasions. I felt pressure at times when the agents only line of attack was for us to lower our price. I also felt our first real offer was not handled as best it could have been because of rushing our decision. Alex Noutsos was wonderful to work with and easy to relate with, making for a good experience. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances and timing, which we completely understand he was not with us when our sale went through. This I am sure was as disappointing for Alex as it was for us. I also felt that once the sale was done there was no close consideration of celebrating felt from Belle staff, other than to get signatures and conclude communications, and at the same time the agent who stepped in for Alex allowed our sale price to be released even though we specifically requested it not be published. This was extremely disappointing and an indication of really how little Belle staff closely listened to and cared for clients.

The agents were all very friendly and eager to help without being in any way pushy or overbearing. Responded quickly to any contact i made.

James was so great to work with. He kept us informed of similar sales in the area and worked with us to get the best possible outcome. He was honest, attentive and so helpful. We really appreciated all he did for the sale of our property. Will definitely work with him again and highly recommend him as an agent.

Lauchlan Waterfield from Belle is far from your typical real estate agent. Selling my investment property, was a big decision, and Lauchlan made the entire experience smooth, stress-free and incredibly positive. He is genuine, kind and truly cares about his clients and their properties, which is so rare in the real estate world. Lauchlan respected my wishes, even if they differed from his advice, and never came across as pushy. His focus was entirely on me and achieving the best outcome for my property, which is refreshing in an industry often perceived as self-serving. One of Lauchlan’s standout qualities is his communication. He provided timely updates after every step in the process, keeping me informed and involved. His attention to detail and high level of organisation were incredible. I’m someone who values organisation and Lauchlan’s ability to stay on top of everything reduced my stress significantly. It’s clear he has systems in place that make his service efficient and seamless. He’s highly intelligent, with a deep understanding of the market, and his insights were always on point. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lauchlan to anyone looking to sell their property. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication are unmatched. Without a doubt, I would use his services again in the future. Thank you, Lauchlan for going above and beyond and for making this experience such a positive one. You’re truly exceptional at what you do!

Charmayne was excellent. She worked in a professional manner using her skills and knowledge in providing advice and regular updates regarding my property. She went above & beyond to make sure she achieved the best possible price. I felt very comfortable with her helping me make my choices.

I worked with Michel Swainson as a buyer. He was very professional to work with, and had an excellent level of communication. Michel was very good in getting back to me with answers, and as a person living outside of Melbourne, was very flexible during the purchasing process to access the property.
