Since my decision to sell my unit, I've interviewed over 6 agents and checked out their credentials. All agents had good experience, but only one agent did not keep calling me all the time, pretending they were my friend or simply following up all the time--this agent was James Cahill from Belle Properties Glebe. James waited for the 12 or so months it took me to make up my mind about selling. I called him many times during this period with all sorts of questions and he was always helpful but never pushed me to do anything. Finally, when I placed my home in James' hands to sell, he was excellent. He put up with my obsession about my very sneaky kitty escaping during an open for inspection. Mia, my cat, took to James (which is a plus for him), and I believe she even came out from under the bed to say "hello" to some of the prospective buyers. You know the phrase "Love me, love my dog?" or in my case, "Love me, love my cat." James always respected my wishes, all of which revolved around Mia--the real owner of my unit :) The strongest point about James is his negotiating skills, especially in the face of the owner (that being me) getting too emotionally involved in the process. James kept a cool head for both of us and in the end he got me the best deal I could imagine. James knows his market, his audience and he's in every way a professional. My only negative point about James is that he didn't know who Ziggy Stardust was, but when I told him it was David Bowie he understood. I guess being younger than me, James was no around during the Ziggy days. In any case, James put up with all my comments about David Bowie (and I must have driven him mad, but he took it well).. The only thing James failed to deliver on was to find the man himself and bring him home to me. Oh well, all agents can't be perfect, but at least he tried. Thank you, James. When I finally do meet David Bowie I'll call you to sell his penthouse apartment in NYC :D

Mark and James, Thank you for your professionalism and support in selling my property in Glebe Gardens. In all aspects the sales process has been a good experience. You ensured requirements ran smoothly, dealing with other organisation’s such as strata management and agencies when needed - and arranging capable, prompt and reasonably priced contractors for the various minor repairs needed. Thanks also for your open and transparent approach and for keeping me updated throughout the process. Sincerely, Brenda Hunter

For a first home buyer I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and accessible both James and Belle Property were. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

We found that Belle Glebe and Mark Tooth were very easy to deal with. Mark seems to understand the situation from the vendor's point of view and also from the buyer's point of view and is an excellent go-between. The fact that Mark Tooth organised the upgrade of the property was a critical factor in our choice of him as agent. Everything he does facilitates the whole sales process. He acts decisively in all the practical aspects and is easy to contact.

We bought our property through Mark Tooth four years prior and had a very pleasant and easy purchase process. It was handled with the utmost professionalism. Four years later and after experiencing two other agencies (on different occasions) who conducted below average campaigns, we decided to hold onto the property. Mark had become a friend who we would bump into regularly and who had also listed (and rented) our property on Stayz. At no time did Mark seem aggrieved that we had gone to other agents. We approached Mark to sell our property based on a no sales campaign and to just run it through their database. Within a week a buyers agent viewed the property, their clients followed the following week with 3 inspections and we exchanged that same week with a 28 day settlement at the price we had always wanted to achieve. There was no hard sell and we felt Mark worked for us and not the buyer. It was the easiest sell we had ever completed and we praise Mark and his team for their professionalism, their patience and their care in selling our home. I would highly recommend Mark Tooth and Belle Property to anyone. We are very very happy with the outcome.

I really felt I could trust them with every aspect of the sale, and the result they delivered was exceptional. James & Marks advice and local knowledge was amazing, and all the suggestions paid off on Auction day! James & Mark worked so hard, nothing was too much trouble. I recommend James Cahill & Mark Tooth and the team at Belle Property Glebe wholeheartedly.

With over 30 years of dealing with agents, my overall impressions have been, I regret to say, dismal. James was recommended by a reliable business colleague and I trusted his advice. James is clearly a true professional and enthused in his work - I honestly cannot fault his professionalism, skills, knowledge, willingness to put himself out to help, negotiation skills - and - genuinely friendly and trustworthy with a natural sense of humour. His approach was simple - but very skillful. Meaning, that he treated us with respect with no 'spin' or patronising. He 'listened' - provided good advice and options but always left the ultimate decisions in our hands. He never over or undervalued, was not opinionated and never used any of the common misleading and inappropriate tactics that has given the industry its poor consumer confidence. It was a pleasure to work with James.

Dear James & Mark, I would like to thank you for handling the sale of my property in Five Dock. I was delighted with the result and impressed by the grace and integrity with which you managed the transaction. It was a difficult decision to move after 30 years at the same address and I was grateful for your guidance, expertise and understanding (which extended to keeping an eye on my stressed cat). Your targeted marketing campaign was extremely effective and I appreciated the effort you made to keep me informed at every step of the way. Communication was honest and open, negotiations with prospective buyers were transparent, and the entire process was a testimony to your professionalism. Many thanks, James & Mark. I’ll certainly be recommending your services, and the services of Belle Property Glebe, to my friends.

Mark was approachable and reliable and worked well with me to get the result I hoped for. By far the most pleasant real estate agent I've dealt with in Sydney.
