I had the good fortune of meeting James at a number of properties before finally finding the right match. In all cases James had detailed knowledge of the properties and would proactively followed up with any additional information requested on those rare occasions he did not already have the answer. His reliability and knowledge made him a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend working with him.

Jane really did go absolutely above and beyond to support me on my most recent sale. She guided me throughout the process, kept me informed of all developments and really was a wonderful emotional support throughout what is typically such a stressful time. I could not have been in better hands. Jane knows the Cammeray and lower North Shore market inside and out, and I felt that she positioned my property in the perfect way to ensure it ultimately was sold to the people best suited to it. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jane, James and the entire Garwoods team. I couldn't recommend her and the team more highly.

I engaged James and the Garwood team to sell my house recently, there was an enormous amount of work to be done in a short period of time. I found James an artistic, innovative and talented numbers man with unflagging energy. He used his nous to engage with social media platforms and deliver digital media publicity and advertising to create a large contact base, for the sale of my house. He is a gentleman, highly organised, reliable and trust worthy – he completely broke the cliched real estate agent model for me! James is engaging and great to be around and in combination with Jane, take up the gaps impossible to fill as a vendor, with their combined experience and talents they were a force! James has a great “feel” for the market and in combination with Jane are a honey pot of ideas, their support was extraordinary from design ideas, contacts and understanding complex building scenarios through to perspicacious negotiating skills. James and the Garwood team offered support and communication second to none throughout the whole process, essential to me, in navigating the difficult task of renovating and selling my house. What's more the outcome was terrific!

Jane was very helpful, upfront and accommodating from the start of the process and went out of her way to be flexible with viewing times. Price negotiations were very open and Jane is quick to respond to all forms of communication such as emails, texts etc. Overall, a strong professional with bags of experience that has been a pleasure to deal with.

James is professional, accessible and hard working. Any questions or concerns were immediately answered and clearly explained. James had our unit looking absolutely fantastic with excellent attention to detail and subsequently attracted a large amount of interest through online targeted advertising. Finally, James was available for after sale support making the entire process form start to finish as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend James and Jane Garwood.

As a buyers agent, we deal with many agents and experience a diverse range of negotiation 'tactics', often to the detriment of the vendor. Dealing with James was effortless. This was an off market transaction which is a little trickier to negotiate, however James communicated every step of the way and the transparency he demonstrated meant that both vendor and buyer achieved the best outcome possible.

Jane and James Garwood are mother and son and understand family. We chose Garwoods because we thought they could ensure a personal touch for the sale of our family home of 75 years which was both sensitive and sentimental. The Garwoods team expertly guided our family each step of the way to a successful auction. Jane is meticulous, professional and reassuring. Details were not missed on Jane's watch. After the property stylist had been, I sat and looked around at the wonder that had been created. I noticed they had hung a beautiful print of a date palm tree, and I was immediately transported back to a time when our avenue was lined with date palms. I mentioned this to Jane, who said: "Nothing is by accident". The Garwoods team kept us informed across the campaign; they knew the market; their communication was clear; they have integrity and are excellent!

Jane has the ability to problem solve creatively from renovation stage through to marketing and sale. She is more tuned into people than most. Jane really works, no problem is an issue and she went well beyond my expectations especially with her ongoing support through a very stressful process. Jane is unflappable, kind and committed, and she listens. I could not bear to think how I would have managed without them!

Our real estate experience with Jane and Garwoods has been a pleasure. Jane & James are friendly, professional, informed and helped take the stress out of the process.

Having first met James seven years ago when he was acting for the vendor of a property that eventually became our home, we have never forgotten the way James conducted himself - with absolute integrity and professionalism. When it came time for us to sell our property seven years on, it was without a second thought that we reached out to James for his help. James, and Jane Garwood, showed us a tremendous degree of thoughtfulness in how we should approach the sale in an uncertain market, demonstrated their deep understanding and judgement of the market and our property, and stood by us every step along the way from marketing, negotiations to closing the sale. We were so amazed at the result James achieved for us. I remember seeing on the front page of James' proposal to us, the famous quote from Maya Angelou “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”, James has truly lived up to his motto. Thank you for supporting us in achieving some of our most significant life goals, James.
