Belle Property North Shore – Lane Cove

With more than a decade of real estate experience and over $1 billion in residential sales on Sydney’s lower north shore, James Bennett has certainly earned his rank amongst the industry’s elite. As joint Principal of Belle Property Lane Cove, Hunters Hill, Willoughby and Lindfield, He is consistently recognised as one of the best performing sales agents nationally for Belle Property, and while industry accolades are an indication of the esteem in which he is held by clients and colleagues, James is humbled by the recognition but knows it means little unless you can qualify it by providing a level of service and, most importantly, results that clients expect of a high-profile agent. Never one to embrace the industry status quo and happy for others to play real estate superstar, James’ point of difference is exactly that - doing things differently. He acknowledges that part of the agent’s job is to manage people’s emotions, guide them through the process and make them feel at ease. James, however, has always been determined to make the journey as enjoyable as possible, even entertaining, by adding a little humour and personality into the mix. He says that while real estate is a serious business, in most circumstances there’s no reason why there can’t be a little levity along the way.
