Jim Sherrah

We bought our house through Jim over 4 years ago and chose to call upon his services again to sell the same house . Jim knows our suburb well (having sold his own house down the road weeks prior to us engaging him). He was always honest about prospects in the area which we heeded in conjunction with our own research. He handled our eventual buyers quite well as they appeared somewhat difficult (and at the time of writing this just days before settlement - continue to be so!) As to our experience to this point with Jim, we did have a couple of newspaper notifications of the open house which did not appear in the week prior which was put down to a clerical error in the office. We came in $50k under our base asking price in the end and that was after the first offer came in at $100K under which Jim was quick to advise me to accept (at the time I thought a little too quick!). He advised that "They would walk!" if I didn't accept the first offer yet after I asked Jim to go back to them, they suddenly leapt $50k. As a result, I was relieved I hadn't gone with the first piece of advice although we were unable to get them to advance their offer to a third negotiation level. If it came to purchasing another property in the future, I'd always be inclined to pursue it if I knew Jim was the agent involved with the property. He was always a positive person with which to deal and liaised with us well during the open house weeks.
